I agree that Bob needs to be looked at more. This is now the 2nd time I can think of he has really pushed something to the limits (Maester burn being the other), and it is because any card that 'kneels X character' is borderline broken with him in play.

A pretty easy combo though - you don't need to build your deck around it. Just play control or rush and have 3X of each card (not horrible cards on their own BTW) plus whatever card you want to combo most with it to close out a game. I am usually pretty poo-poo on combo decks, but if the pieces are good on their own, and amazing together (see: TLS + Val, old-rules Maester Bob and chains), then that could be an issue.

I've been running this:

It's only dropped 2 games so far. One was vs a choke deck and I mulled into every single OOH card. Game 2 was a melee and i screwed up where I put my builders.

Notes:

Val is awesome, I see both cards with Satin, I want mine but I don't want you to have yours, I choose "leave them" and use Val to play mine.

Royal Entourage / Greedy Councillor: These guys are my star players, I'm not running the GJ tech to mill you faster, I'm trying to burn my deck as fast as yours and build a tiny draw pool with the builders. Pop a lady on the bottom, draw them, throw 3 entourage into play after valar is usually game. Defence on demand from Councillors is also pretty **** cool.

Magister Illyrio has the potential to be lots of fun. We're seing heavy attachment play here at the moment so he's got some fun potential.

Asha Greyjoy is another renown beast when Bob gets going after the board sweep. If you just milled your opponent's entire deck, chances are she's not kneeling in a hurry.

Visenya's Hill isn't doing what I though it would. However it was a nice idea at the time.

Nagga's Hill has won me games. I get to choose from your entire deck, It's pretty **** good.

Bear in mind that this is a very VERY rough first draft that I threw together and it's missing a lot of stuff.

Greedy Councillor is an awesome idea. I was using Royal Entourages in mine and they were stellar. Val is also a great idea. I played mine once, and with as easy as it is to set up (it hit first turn no problem), don't get too attached. I look for an emergency ruling on Satin or Robert in the near future.
