Comments

The numbers of characters, the bodyguard and some characters like Jorry Cassel are especially to survive the Valaar and to come back after it.

The decks is based on the fact to be really good on defense, then the Riverrun force the opponent to attack, Taste for blood will collect power when they attack. And if they attacks, the dominance will be easilly won and the couterstrike will be more easyé. and if they don't well Riverrun will make the game quickly end.

And when well place it become quite easy to win every challenge in defense... at this moment the game is almost won.

Well this deck has been tested and really rocks... but we can always do better and that is why I post the list.

- I hesitate to replace one Robb by the one who kill when he win military challenge Like that I can use the one who is the more appropriate n the situation

- I also hesitate to replace one of my Catelyn's by the one from Lord's of winter

- The third question is that this deck has 75 cards... it's a lot and I would love to have less cards... around 70 max... but they are all so usefull I don't know which one to get rid of.

To answer your questions/concerns...

1 - I really like Robb Stark from LoW so I would keep him in. A STR buff to your Tully characters is a good thing. The Core Robb is too easily killed by Venemous Blade and Flame kissed. So keep the one you have.

2 - Low Catelyn is a better card by far but the Core set version can claim you power if you get to activate Riverrun. So it's really a toss up. I still like LoW version better. She is probably the best card that Stark has.

3 - I can give you my take on a few cards to cut....

The bastard of Bolton can go. He's not tully, only has 2 str, and costs 3. Blah! only good if you are playing a bolton based deck.

I would drop down to 2x House Tully Recruiters. 3 just seems like overkill.

Bringers of Law aren't house tully and don't really help unless you can give them stealth. Plus being an Ally is not a good trait to have right now.

What is Lard-Jon Ombie? probably could take that out

Drop 1 Maester Vyman. 2 copies is not good for a unique 2 STR character.

Could probably drop the Trident Reinforcements. Not really necessary since you have the Riders of the Red Fork.

Either Drop Arya from KL or Cat o the Canals. Personally I would drop both and run the Core Set Arya. She is just amazing.

I'm not in love with Ice or the Milk of the Poppy.

By dropping these cards you would be down to 62 total cards. Much more Respectable

On a side note....

LoW Eddard - like the Bringers of Law he is only good if you can give him stealth. I would much rather run the King's Landing Eddard. He can give some more protection for your Noble characters.

I'm quite Ok with bringers of Law and the Bastard of Bolton.

But what affraid me it is 2 characters with the eye and that's not the strongest challenge of my deck... and the other reason why I used the Bastard of Bolton is because I have great problems with deadly characters... But I think you aremaybe right I will run some test without this.

Lord-Jon is too combo with Frozen Outpost.

Arya is a great solution... it is my eternal Moribond when I need one and in winter (when I have the crown) it takes care of the deadly characters.

About Ice it is just the most helpfull card in my deck almost on the good character it is just too good. there is noway I will remove it.

Milk is just a great solution... imagine Melissandre (the one who makes power on characters doesn't count).. or Illyn payn..., Wex pyke... thos very annoying characters Melissandre is even the anti-deck character.

So I'm quite ok with he 2 first maybe... really maybe Arya... but I'm very sceptic... but I will try thanks for your advices and I'm still up for new advice.

If you find that taking out Bastard of Bolton and Bringers of law are hurting your intrigue challenges then I think a better choice would be to add in Bolton Refugee. They are the same STR as the Bastard and don't cost anything. So they would help with your setup and are free if you draw then later in the game.

Afer looking at the deck again I would say to put in LoW Catelyn. She is a much better card than the CS version and ensures that you will have at least 1 blocker for 3 STR in an INT challenge. Plus she is really good with Frozen Outpost.

Lord-Jon....you mean Greatjon Umber? That makes sense now. I just don't like him because he is a 4 cost character and Stark has to run enough of those as it is with Eddard, Blackfish, and Robb all being multiples in pretty much every stark deck. But I do like the combo. So that would be up to you.

KL Arya is good but the Core Set Arya is just a much better card. She can take away stealth from opposing characters so that you can actually defend certain challenges. And she can take opposing Renown from characters like CS Robert or KL Tyrion. If you are worried about your characters dying then you could always run Nymeria(CS) and Maester Aemon.

I never liked Ice because it is contingent upon your character participating in a challenge. Against Lannister they will kneel that character and you don't have any way to stand characters. Martell will either take away their icons or Game of Cyvasse it back to your hand. And Targ will just discard the attachment from play or kill that character with burn. So I never like attachments that are contingent upon a character participating in a challenge. That is why I made the suggestion to take it out.

Milk of the Poppy is good against certain characters and is a very good card. I was just trying to get you down as close to 60 as possible without cutting out cards that seemed to be really important or synergistic with the deck.

For the refugiee you are right... but the goal is not to replace but to get rid of some.

The Core set Catelyn is really good but I think it is quite combo to have one LoW Catelyn that can come back in the hand and the other one... I think I will put one of each.. you'r right it is quite a good one.

I will see for Arya.. I like the Core set Arya but you need influence and I have really few influence.

I think if you get it down to 60-65 cards you will find that your deck runs more smoothly and won't miss some of the cards that you are hanging onto. Not only will you get more House Tully Characters but Family, Duty, Honor will be more effective for you and Riverrun will claim you more power when it actually does go off.
