Unfourtantly I have a very very small group of people to play with before I go, and although not expecting to even win one game I don't want to look like a total loser lol. So, from what have been seeing Maester's and Greyjoy winter choke, are two of the most common deck types. And I kinda have an idea of what the goal of each deck is what are some known counter's to the decks and what to expect when facing one. Also, if some common decks I should also be aware of that would be great for the heads up.

Sorry if this was already answered somewhere else. If was if could send me link to page be great too.

Well the idea of the winter choke deck is like the name indicates to set your opponents income to zero. I think the best counter is the knights of the hollow hill agenda, because it raises your income by 2 permanently and also negates the -1 gold effect from the attachment burned and pillaged which is thrice in the deck. Of course every card that removes attachments will also help to deal with the income reducer. The Greyjoy winter deck runs a lot of non- unique small cost charahcters so cards like the plot first snow of winter or the latest released plot The pale mare would help a lot. In general locations that reduce cost like e.g. the street of steel help you to still have resources to play characters once you are in the fangs of winter and choke.

The maester agenda is sort of a big tool box, the major advantages are:

- chains that add easy solutions for the house you choose to play like adding gold (gold link), giving some additional card draw (valyrian steel link), removing attachments (tin link), there are other abilities worth to mention i think you´ll understand when you take a closer look at the chains

- a reduced card draw deck (60 cards ./. the chains placed beneath the agenda) which makes combos and the chance to draw into the cards you need more likely.

Every house plays the agenda a little bit different, but i think you can really break it down to the above mentioned points. Good counters are the event nightmares, the attachment bastard to remove the chains permanently, every card which deals with the most the time low costed maester cards like first snow of winter. And it helps if you can remove the maesters with burn cards and direct kill (Stark and Targaryen).

I would just rebuild a deck which can be found on fansites like cardgames.db or agotcards to train a little bit in your group against such a deck.

thanks for the tips
