New player - Deck Help

By Esmer, in 4. AGoT Deck Construction

Hi all,

I'm relatively new to this game and was wondering if you could give me a few pointers in building a deck that is fun to play and have a chance of winning some games. I mainly play melee at the moment but joust happens often as well.

At the moment i have the following:

Core Set

Expansions

  • Kings of the Storm
  • Princes of the Sun

Chapter packs

  • Mountains of the Moon
  • The Ravens Song
  • Called by the Conclave
  • Here to Serve

Any help would really be appreciated.

Cheers :)

First of all, welcome to the community.

I think you could easily put together a pretty viable and fun Knights of the Realm deck that would work for melee or joust. A pretty decent Martell deck (probably more Joust-friendly) could work also.

Please pardon this decklist; it's off the cuff. The basic idea is to get out your Renown characters, especially Robert, quickly, protect or save them as best as possible (Narrow Escape, Bodyguard, The Power of Blood, duplicates, Lightbringer, Parmen Crane, Lomys) and rush with your characters, stealthing when possible. Stand Renown characters with Distinct Mastery and Marya for multiple challenges, go first with Knights of the Storm. Draw via Knights of the Realms, supplemented by other cards, finsih off with Make and Example. 3 two-claim plots should keep enemies on their toes hopefully.

Thanks for the reply (sorry its taken so long apparently you cant post on here from mobile phones!)

I'll give it a go :) Any suggestions for a Martell Joust deck? :)

Sure, but I'll warn you that my experience with Martell is much more limited, unless you count getting my butt kicked by it. :)

Do you have the 2x or 3x version of Princes of the Sun?

I have the 3x version.

Thanks for this :)

Hi again.

Question about your inclusion of Maester Aemon in this deck. Seeing as he's the only night watch character in there im guessing he's in there to satisfy the claim on military challenges and save him. Is this correct?

Cheers

That's correct. Maester Aemon is just there for claim soak.

Thanks for your help with this deck mate. I've been playing with it and having some good fun :)

Have you made any progress with the martell deck?. thanks again :)
