Threat of triple claim is not new if you've been playing against starks: Bastard boys, Winter is Coming, Lonely Hills. There's plenty of options to deal with Naval superiority. YOu could try to time it right with Forgotten Plans, or you could wait till he plays it. There's the Rookerys for one. The most he's getting against you is 1 challenge. Out comes Forgotten plans. Ally in melee, get who wins initiative to attack you, bring out forgotten plans. A bungled orders would let you bring it out.

During deckbuilding I am saying to myself, "Hmm, Steven, how should I deal with Naval Superiority? Well, maybe I could run forgotten plans, that will give me the chance to make my opponent have a 1 claim plot just like me! Yay. We can both have 3 gold, 1 claim, maybe… No that won't do. I certainly don't want to dilute my claim for the chance to dilute my opponents claim.  Maybe I should run some rooke--no, no, that isn't worth it, too conditional, too bad.  Man, what should I do? Wait, I know. I will just run my own Naval Superiority."

And welcome to the post regional restricted list.

 

Yolo!

I don't understand why more people don't run Forgotten Plans. If you hit Naval Superiority with it, you are ahead on the initiative and neuter it. There is literally not a single deck in my meta where I feel Forgotten Plans is a wasted card even when I miss with it. I can not see myself building a deck which doesn't use it.

It's like hitting out of a phone booth!!!

REEEEEEEJECTEEEEEEEEEEEEED!!!!!!!!

Matt, you'll be pleased then that one of the decks I'm bringing Thursday includes it :)

I don't agree that you need a specific answer to a conditional 3 claim plot. Just do the same as you would against a 2 claim plot, but with more urgency.

No… No I won't! This will counter my plans on playing a bunch of passive effect plots!

And yea with regards to countering Naval Superiority. Forgotten Plans is versatile enough that it's not just a hard counter for it. If that's all you are using it for, though, you're doin' it wrong. Don't include it, lol.

Why would anyone make a deck that has to pack specific answers for the best decks, instead of just making the best deck that everyone has to try to answer to?

Yolo!

If most are running the best deck then a deck with specific answers to it will beat it most likely which leads to better chance for win than just mirror match. Now if all are not playing the best deck then we get into more complicated things that is the ever changing meta on what is best and what people are running so that they can handle the deck that they see as best.

Most worlds have been won by decks that weren't seen to be best in the meta.

Would Confict of Interest keep players from raising their claim though? I thought "base claim" only meant starting claim number.. You are right. NAval surperiority base is 1

"Winter is coming"
