Basically this is my latest atempt at an agressive mill deck but I find I keep having to take out mill cards in order to keep up with gold curve/defence. I used to not have Finger Dance, then I got eaten alive by events. I used to not have Marauders/Nighttime Riad but I just got controled by attatchments, I used to have harbor thugs/euron's mongrel instead of Refugees but then I got out character-spammed. I used to be a raider...then I took an arrow to the knee...

Im thinking of taking out the Tourney Lances but without them I find it hard to win challanges against decks that outnumber me (and due to my high number of uniques thats almost always)

it Doesnt seem like there are enough weenies and it seems like the characters you do have are too expensive to include with what little gold you have, also do you think you really need 3 copies of cotter pyke and maester wendamyr?

I would take out Cotter Pyke and use 2x White Raven instead, since they're much cheaper and easier to search for. I would probably switch Take them by Surprise for Time for Ravens then, since your Fury can win you initiative when you really need it against most plots.

You have At The Gates, which means you can search for Wynd...so I think you should only include 1 copy. Also, you have both Cotter Pyke and Euron's Crow Eye; two 5 cost characters (especially with the amount of 3 cost characters you have) is too much. You should choose one and drop the other.

I'd run 2 copies. At The Gates becomes a dead card if you draw Wendy. 2 copies means you can put one direct into play and dupe him straight off, extra saves are good saves. ALWAYS gran_risa.gif

If you're worried about At The Gates being a dead card, then include another Maester. Murenmure will fill that extra slot fine.

Also, why are there 3 Frostfang Peaks, but only 2 Corpse Lakes? Corpse Lake is your win condition; the Frostfang Peaks aren't doing anything without having a Corpse first. I'd switch that around.

i agree but its not exaclt like you need dupes for saves out of greyjoy. .

overall your charcter cost curve is just too high, the knight, newly made lord, euron, cotter pike, maester wend, wintertime maruaders, this is too many charcters costing 3 or more gold
