Decent list, but it can depend on who you're playing against. For example against Northern Kingdoms or Nilfgaard you want as many spy cards and decoy cards as you can get, whereas against a Monster opponent, something as simple as the Biting Frost card will render their overpowered melee row harmless. I also always try to have 1 clear weather card in my deck as the AI often play their weather cards early, so you can clear any effects to boost your score, or if you want to put weather effects of your own down.
