Introducing the Chosen Few

First and foremost: a huge thanks to everyone who participated and sent in a deck to the contest. We hope you all had fun creating decks for this competition and enjoyed a chance to get creative with the restrictions we set. We had a lot of really interesting decks roll in and as such, it was really tough settling on the eight decks that we finally chose.

After drawing lots for Houses and making some difficult choices, we finally settled on the following eight decks. Ladies and Gentlemen, your Chosen Few:

House Baratheon:
Deck created by Jeff Lebow , staff proxy: Michael Hurley
Expansion Block: Brotherhood Without Banners

House Greyjoy:
Deck created by Kyle Szklenski , staff proxy: Jay Little
Expansion Block: Brotherhood Without Banners

House Lannister:
Deck created by Dan Strouhal , staff proxy: Damon Stone
Expansion Block: King's Landing

House Martell:

Expansion Block: Defenders of the North

House Stark:
