After my starter set, my first actual constructed Stark deck was a Tully deck, made pretty much from the Lords of Winter. Of course, nowadays, Tullys have so many more toys to play with (and expecting more). I've always wanted a cool Tully deck, and apparently most Tullys look too alike to me, and that discouraged me from actually assembling one after I took out the few core good Stark cards for my Stark Military deck.
After trying out my Night's Watch deck, I decided to try to merge them to see if they work well together. The first try yesternight wasn't too encouraging, though the game did identify critical issues of the deck, so I tried fiddling with it a little more and hopefully this coming Saturday will yield a little better results for me.
This Tully deck tried to use The Wall and the Defenders of the North to supplement their defensive capability to ensure Riverrun can kick in. On the other hand, the Wall can simply be a great deterrent to attackers, and free up the Tullys to initiate their own attacks (before Black Fish is powered up) while still able to offer some range of defence. More Importantly, with a couple of Defenders in hand, the Wall is a great defense mechanism for Intrigue attacks, which is of course, the traditional Achilles' heel of the Tullys.
I am supposed to get The Wall with Building Season, but To Be a Wolf also provides a good search mechanic - for that, no matter what people name, I'm going to have quite a good range of stuff to hunt for - Riverrun, The Wall, Defenders, many good events, The Black Fish, Hoster, Catelyn, Frozen Solid, Crown of Winter - a great spread of options - all capable of pushing me ahead towards my goal. Planting the Riverrun may be a key decision to win/lose game, and could be a problem since it attracts all sorts of attackers.
As with all Tully decks, I'm presented with a host of great little buggers and a couple of excellent key players, though as usual, The Black Fish is the key person in this deck. Come with Renown, he also allows everybody else to attack without kneeling once he gets his 3 power, and he helps to draw cards. Combine this with the Guard of Riverrun, Family Plot, and To Be a Wolf, I do not foresee a lot of card draw issues.
I threw in Siege at Winterfell as I feel that I wouldn't be conducting a lot of offensive actions, so the Siege will focus my attack efforts on Military challenges, which is good since it will reduce the threat level if I'm doing my job right. With Feigned Retreat, I could also handle the few Military challenges that I might not win, and still cause a great deal of trouble.
The Plots are pretty simple to choose from - Summoning and Building for the specific search, Family for warm bodies, Loyalty to deter attacks, Fury, After the Mummer's and Storm of Swords to power up To Be a Wolf as well as providing gold and power support.
A single copy of Parting Blow is there in case it comes into effect with my Defenders, and hopefully an epic battle is in play~ YY and Bann's advise to throw in Distinct Mastery was also adopted to see how many times I can get my characters to stand up to the victory! (V Gundam theme song)
All in all I think the contributions of the Night's Watch in the Tullys is quite minimal, but they may come as quite a surprise occasionally~ :) let's see how this one works...
