Deck Construction?

[Helbig]

Hey guys, Last tourney I think I was a little heavy on locations. I was looking to find out what the apprx. ratios of Characters/ratios/events should be? I realize that it's not a science and it would vary from deck to deck depending on house/theme but I'm just looking for an overall guide. I'm looking to run a Stark/Tully deck if that helps at all.

Well from what I have read and seen a general guide is:

50% Character
25% Locations
25% Awesome stuff (Attachments, Interrupts, etc ect)

adjust to need be....but the hard rule I have seen is that most decks are always 50% characters

If you're doin tully than just run the black fish and the rest will fall into place as long as he isn't removed.

Awesome, Thanks for the heads up guys!

My personal rule of thumb is:
1) 60 cards "NO MORE"
2) 30 characters "NO LESS" (Maybe more)
The next two are negotiable Depending  on:
   a)agenda (Winter/Summer/Knights etc)
   b)deck "goal" (gold/influence needed to play events, attachments etc.)
   c) attachments
3) 10-15 locations (most of which should produce income)
4) 15-20 events, attachments
Once you play test it a couple of times you will easily figure what changes you need to make. Example: Usually Lanny produces gold easily so less income locations are needed. Martell produces influence easily etc. Or if you want you locations to do more than just produce income you will increase the location amount and obviously decrease from your fun pile (slot 4)
