So Brienne of Tarth (PotS) is one of those cards that a newer player (like me) may initially scratch their head at. Ok, I'm sure that's a good ability in some cases. Then I built a Stark Siege deck and ran up against her. If the opponent has her out and she and defends in a military challenge I cannot a) claim power using the Siege of Winterfell agenda's response, or b) play murder events. Or use the Blackfish's response. Etc. etc. etc. Plus, she's Stark, so she is immune to Bear Island. That really shuts down this kind of deck, and she cannot even be taken out with most of Stark's tools for dealing with troublesome characters.
Anyway, here is my deck, and I'm wondering what I could change to make sure I can deal with Brienne:

- Add more deadly / stealth?
