Im re-building a Strak armies deck built around 3x kots Robb and while i feel im hitting a fair mix of characters and locations for cost/str/ability im really stumped on ways to speed the deck up in terms of draw, or search as an alternative.
Im running 2x the blackfish as renown is always welcome and he makes for a solid draw engine in his own right but my guards at riverrun are sitting in another deck and i feel would be competing with to many other cards given that i want to maximise Robbs ability while retaining flexibility with other characters. As i will be running roose bolton and 3x flayed men and 3x the bastards elite i was tempted by the dreadfort but 2 gold for an ability that may only be triggered a few times means that i wouldnt want to run more than 1 which only adds to the chances of it being redundant.
Any body got alternative draw/search suggestions? The most obvious i can think of is 'to be a wolf' but getting copies of it is very hard (im in the uk, and the older cycle packs and like hens teeth, and even then i would need multiple packs
)
The deck is designed mostly for joust, but due to the nature of our play group is liable to see some melee game time as well, its previous incarnation did well in my meta's joust games and had a habit of getting to around 13-14 power and then faltering at the last in melee, currently the list looks like this.
