Tournament Winning Deck Archive

Formerly hosted on the Lasombra

This is a chronological archive of decks that have won tournaments that were
sanctioned by the Vampire: Elder Kindred Network, had 10 or more players and did not allow decks changes between rounds.
National and Continental Championship are included as well, irrelatively to their attendance.
To be included in this list, a tournament report had to be made on the official V:EKN Player's Forum:
https://www.vekn.net/index.php/forum/9-event-reports-and-twd
This archive will not include the Storyline Tournament Winning Decks.
Unless otherwise noted, each deck was the winning player's creation.

The original Hall of Fame and the Tournament Winning Deck Archive were closed as of October 26, 2013.
Many thanks to Jeff Thompson for maintaining them for all these years.

Deck Name: Knowledge is power
Description: Here's my list... be careful, it's far from a tier 1 deck ^^ I clearly benefit from tables with decks that have enough impact to pick up the crumbs at the end of the game.
For the final, it was largely the initial placement that allowed me to win.

Note that I'm going to try and find room for 1/2 more Obedience.
For the record, it all started with a Troglodytia cept/fight deck that didn't work, and Alex Jr (aka Bloups) suggested I cohabit with Capuchin, and he was right, the two get on pretty well.

Deck Name: Fire in the Belly
Description:
This deck is a Malgorzata deck inspired by Le Sserafim's Fire in the Belly and Kim Chaewon's iconic "Piona, neo nae dongnyoga dwaera!" (Fearnot, join my crew) line from the same song. The idea came from a Facebook comment on my last TWDA post from Luis Jimenez on how Fire in the Belly and Dragon's Breath can be my next LSFM deck. Since I was already doing aggravated damage, I figured that I can level up the song reference by throwing in some graverobbing to force people to "Join my crew". Since I was already playing with Viscissitude and Dominate, it made sense to use Malgorzata and Friends. The deck is specifically designed for the Philippine Meta with Rotschreck and Telepathic Tracking to handle combat ends and Rego Motum to survive against the heavier combat decks. Lord Tremere helped Malgorzata use her ability without losing too much tempo, while Mistress Fanchon was there to fish out specific cards when I need them. The 6 Villeins helped me sustain my pool together with the Deflections and Auspex Package. Graverobbing and then getting back 5 pool with Villein can be back breaking.

Deck Name: Schizo Whispers
Description: "Demented one goes faster"

-- Thank you to all the participants for joining the tournament.
-- We had guests from Osijek Croatia making this tournament international.
-- The final seating was as follows:
-- Milutin Melka (V5 Banu Haqim- wall)
-- Miloš Krstić (V5 Gangrel - wall)
-- Miloš Živković (V5 Tzimisce - toolbox)
-- Srdjan Milojević (Schizo Whispers)
-- Milan Popović Ilić (G2-3 Harbingers of the Scull - bleed)
-- The Final started with the fast removal of Milan Popović. Srdjan had an "information highway" from the start, going fast with 1,2,3 from the start. There were some efforts to slow down Srdjan, but alas, Milan was eliminated. The rest of the game was going slower, with 3 wall decks and 1 bleed. A good time was spent on negotiations and with 10 min extension it was not used for new moves on the board.
-- With this, are we seeing the return of the Malkavians with dementation? time will tell.

Having moved back to Helsinki at the end of last year, the TLA tournaments also got a new location in our new residence's club room. The facility received a lot of praise for its location and spaciousness, and I'll definitely organize more of the same in the future.

Everybody I talked to had expected the meta to consist largely of new decks, but instead, not much had changed. I personally experienced a table with five vote decks, which was sort of refreshing and sort of not.

The final table:
- Teemu Sainomaa (Chameleon Barons) 1,5
> Aki Puolakka (Salubri V5)
> Otso Saariluoma (Gehenna Barons) 1,5
> Julius Kaplas (DEM bleed)
> Tommi Hakomaa (Tzimisce G2 wall) 0,5

Deck Name: Carthage Withering
Author: Otso Saariluoma
Description: My take on Nina's barons with Slow Withering. If the draw and the table work out, it should be able to build to an overwhelming position in the late game. It's also rather hard to interact with the build-up as it's mostly masters, transfers, events and concealed magnums. However, the list felt clunky as it is and a handsize of six hurts.

After the tournament, would cut Flames of Insurrection (felt like a win more card), Smiling Jack and Constant Revolution (low impact during the day), as well as one of each of Organized Resistance, Diversion and Dust Up (just to smoothe out the draws). Might double up on New Carthage.

Deck Name: Guardian LSFM
Description:  A Matasuntha Wall deck that is inspired by Le Sserafim's The Gaurdian. It aims to block key actions and send key vampires to torpor in order to bloat, relieve pressure, and clear away blockers. Once it gets it's rhythm going, it can run through the deck pretty fast which necessitates the inclusion of Ashur Tablets and Parthenon. The Baron package helps to get an early oust via bounce.

The combat package is diversion, hell-for-leather, and trap. Diversion and hell-for-leather are two of the most versatile anarch combat cards that Matasuntha can run. Trap is there to counter grinder decks that depend on fortitude. Dog Pack takes care of S:CE. Basically, when Matasuntha gets into combat, pool gain is essentially guaranteed.

Deck name: Gangrel Things
Description: Thank you Aapo Järvelin (Khormag) for handing me the predecessor of this deck in the after-games of a tournament he organized in Joensuu a couple of years back, the deck is super fun to play. I played versions of it quite a lot in 2022, and last months I have had a feeling it could do well in the grindy Stockholm meta with its fast and plentiful actions and reactions. This iteration though I feel like I made slightly worse by adding some random cards outside of the core mechanic of Computer hacking, Thing and Earth meld, but it did hold itself together this time.

-- 4vp in final

Note: Very little combat at this tournament. Just a couple of Wall decks but no heavy combat rush decks.

Seeding and decks at Final Table:
1. Mark Jasper (Anarch Gargoyle Vote)
2. Marcus Acevedo (Gangrel V5 Barons Wall)
3. Kris Zierhut (Malk Derange/Dementia Stealth Bleed)
4. Marcos Acevedo (V5 Ventrue vote)
5. Jeff Poole (Black Hand Lasombra Stealth Bleed)

Final table seating: Malks -> Ventrue -> Gangrel -> Gargoyles -> Lasombra

Deck Name: "Tribute to Robert Scythe"
Description: Black Hand DOM/OBT

-- Write up from Jeff Poole (long way of saying that Dominate stealth bleed works )
-- This deck is a tribute to Robert Scythe, a legend of the Los Angeles VtES scene who passed away several years ago. He had a similar deck that was more tool box and combat focused but that included the Corporal Reservoir / Descent into Darkness tech that is included in this deck.
-- However, this version is more stream-lined and was designed to be played in a small 10-12 person event. While there is a lot of bounce in the meta, the idea with this deck was to hopefully get 1 GW and make it into the finals, or get a few VPs over two games and squeak into the final. The actual tournament ended up with 11-players, so we had 5 "rounds" before the finals, which threw a bit of a monkey wrench in that plan, but luckily I was able to get a GW in the first round.
-- The deck performed very well and as anticipated. It, of course, is a big stealth bleed deck that is prone to bounce and Archon Investigation. It had a few important elements to discuss.
-- 1.  The Art of Memories were critical to allow the deck to have sufficient card flow to either recur bleed cards or stealth depending on what was in my hand and the table state. I.e. if people were not intercepting, Art of Memory allowed me to add bleed cards back to my hand and discard stealth, and vic versa.
-- 2.  Corporal Reservoir. This card was an absolute MVP. It allowed the deck to keep up the speed despite playing a lot of cards with blood costs. It also served as the only combat defense in the deck (other than Nocturn's blocking). Being able to use these cards and then unlock them for free with Descent into Darkness allowed my minions to keep acting. The support minions would bleed, spend 3-4 blood, then get unlocked with Seraph's Second, and then descend into darkness to recover 3-4 blood.
-- 3. Enkil Cog + Saul. This combo allowed Appius to bleed heavily on my turn, be untapped by Saul, and then bleed again on my prey's turn, really speeding up the ousting potential.
-- After the tournament, I would consider dropping the Tattoo Signal as it was not really needed and felt too "slow" to have Appius spending a turn putting it on. Similarly, the Zaire River Ferry was nice for the stealth (did not get many D actions other than a rewilding that burned the Ferry and that the Ferry could not actually prevent because it was not targeting the vampire!), but I don't know that it was really needed. I would consider replacing all 3 of those cards with Deflections so that they are always on-hand when needed (and can be cycled with Art of Memory if they start to clog). The seraph's second are still needed to have the support minions bleed and descend into darkness in the same turn.

I alienated Otso's Gangrel Anarch version. Sorry about that, Otso
I got rid of all Thing cards and focused solely on Pack Alpha. In retrospect, I believe Otso's original version is superior.

https://www.vekn.net/event-calendar/event/11091

Nice small tournament to finish off the year. Very aggressive meta as always. Lots of bleed, some brutal combat and some politics. Very fast games overall, finished the tournament almost 2 hours before expected.

The Finals was a tight game, and it could have ended in many ways. But Mari Tiippana rose to the occasion and took the victory quite convincingly, after a dominating performance on the preliminary rounds.

Finals Seating:
Lasse Pöyry (Ghede Typhonic Beast rush) --> Mari Tiippana (MidCap Dem bleed) --> Petrus Makkonen (Synesios vote) --> Pasi Karjalainen (G6 Malkavian bleed) --> Toni Karjalainen (Scout + Unmada Shattering Crescendo)

Deck Name: Malks!
Author: Mari Tiippana - Simo Tiippana
Description: This deck was originally designed to be played by new players. But when I saw, how they managed to handle it, I decided to give it a try myself in a tournament. I just added some Touch of clarities, Dreams of the Sphinxes, Delaying Tacticses and a Wash.

Deck Name: Unforgiven Stanislava
Description: The deck was inspired by Le Sserafim's song, Unforgiven. It was designed to pull off big bleeds and impactful referendums unapologetically. Throwing in MMPA was icing on the cake since I felt that I would garner table hate anyway. The day would be kind to me as I was able to time my big bleeds (8 to 10) when my prey doesn't have any access to bounce. A few things to note is that the Philippines has a very combat heavy meta with a lot of grapples to deal with so I had to throw in some Rolling with the Punches in favor of 2 copies of Earth Meld and a copy of Form of Mist. The deck earned me 2 GWs with 7VP in the Preliminary Rounds, 4VP and the win in the Finals.

Deck Name: Dirge
Description:

I had initially planned on playing a different deck entirely but because Crew SC won the Championship I felt obligated to play Casey Snyder and her gorgeous Columbus based artwork. Hell of a weekend for the old girl...

This deck isn't exactly a surprise if you know my play-style, but it's really hard to oust, as in all six games I've played it in it hasn't died. It's built around getting two or three barons out then getting a constant revolution or jack into play and then just sapping peoples will as they try to burn it away. There are some fairly obvious exclusions here that need fixed. Should definitely be at least two Monkey Wrenches, one less Kuyen and one more Vivian Vi, one more Constant Revolution. Not sure what to take out I just threw this together before a tournament a month or so ago and hadn't had a chance to tweak it since.

The prelim rounds just kind of fell exactly as I needed them too as my predator was crippled the first game allowing me time to setup and prepare for the Unnamed bleed cannon coming my way. The second table was just a game of patience as my predator had grapple combat but had an aggressive predator so he didn't get many opportunities to enter combat with my minions.

The final was really interesting as the seating was
Jamie(The Unnamed)-->Erik(Ministry Stealth Bleed)-->Will(Malgorzata)-->Karl(Carna)-->Me(PRO block)

I chose to sit in front of Karl as the top seed which is a terrifying prospect as he is one of the best players on the planet, but knowing how resilient this deck is and how little stealth/eagles sight he has to stop me I was hopeful it would allow me to get my prey and grand prey quick enough that he couldn't keep up. Luckily he had a predator with 32 points of vamp by about turn five and didn't Carna in his opening crypt so he was shelled up quickly. Then Erik got Will the next turn leaving Karl having to deal with Ministry stealth bleed and have to stay on defense primarily. I was able to get Jamie a turn or two later and Karl declined to play an eagles sight as he knew mathematically I would get through Jamie no matter what. By this point my Constant Revolution had 2-3 counters on it and Karl and Erik kind of accepted they had to burn it to have a shot of winning. I was able to fend off their advances and perhaps perfectly timed my Revolution got Karl's lone eagle sight and I knew I had my chance. I got Erik and conceded the VP to Karl taking the tiebreaker win.

One of the more unsung heroes in a deck like this is the Owl Companion, I don't think it can be overstated how powerful it is to have knowledge pretty much anytime you want it. Makes this type of deck even harder to oust and I luckily drew it in every game very early. I think running a second one is probably not the worst idea.

Deck Name: Obamium (312)
VDB Link: vdb.im/decks/f2d56fda96214ccb95f171f40d4703c8
Description: Anarch-based Gangrel Wall (5 Baron version).

Credit to Karl Schaefer's snarky "Thanks Obama" comment for inspiring the deck's new name. Thanks to the members of Pakled Project for helpful library suggestions and crypt tweaks. Kudos to Kelly Lyons for running another great tournament weekend.

-- Tournament Summary --

A good (4 VP) second game got me into the final as second seed. The seating was Andy (Brujah Org Resist gun wall) --> Karl (Montano Purge) --> Sydney (Matasuntha wall) --> Jesper (non-turbo Nergal bleed) --> Me (Gangrel wall).

No one wanted top seed Montano to get going. I bounced Jesper's opening 5-bleed to Karl and a flurry of Reckless Agitations from Andy fixed that problem before the first Purge fired. Added bonus: I was now the de facto top seed, though I'm behind a VP with sequential wall decks to my left.

Jesper soon Dared the Dawn on a Heart equip and couldn't leave torpor. Joaquín threw himself on a diablerie grenade, giving me space to eventually deplete Andy's endless supply of Organized Resistances while Sidney slowly bled Jesper out. With less than 15 minutes remaining at the heads-up, I just waited out the rest of the game with 2 Sniper Rifles and at least one S:CE in hand.

Deck Name: Royal with Cheese
Description: This is a new version of the deck. The deck was pretty slow so I've added a lot of Zillah's Valley and Aksinya Daclau (who happens to have all the right disciplines but no title, hence the Regent). The conclusion is that even when you pack 11 Zillah's, you won't draw more than one in the early game! But it's probably bad luck.

Deck Name: If Bram Played !Toreador
Description:
I took Bram's last to TWDs ("nobody bounces like Schumi does" and "GP BRUSSELS -
Blame it on Didi") switched to !Toreador and added some of my own seasoning, mixed it
up, and this was the result. Big thanks to Bram for solid starting decklists.

The deck performed differently in each round and some cards were strong in one round,
but did nothing in another. Overall the bounce component was gold in every game.  I
totally picked the meta having enough bleed to make this deck shine.

Description: Kudos to Richard for the deck design. Easy to play and very forgiving. Both Elder Library and Visit from the Capuchin are the obvious must have. I just recently opened miscutted V5 PCDs and wasn’t able to add those in for legal play. Giants Blood, Direct Intervention and Heart were MVPs.

-- Thank you to all the participants for joining the tournament.
-- We had guest from Osijek Croatia making this tournament international.
-- Although we planed to have +10min per elimination extension finales were done in less then 2h mark.
-- The final seating was as follows:
-- Miloš Krstić (99 Problems)
-- Dušan Kosanović(Nefertiti variant - Stealth Bleed)
-- Milan Popović (Rafael de Corazon variant - Bleed Toolbox)
-- Nikica Novaković(Alexandra variant - Bleed Toolbox)
-- Višnja Ilić (Magaji vote variant - Politics)
-- Finales started off with fast removal of Milan Popović. As Rafale was left in locked state by Alexandra, he had no defenses against Dušan.  The rest of the game was marked with slow Death of  Nikica, as he struggled to maintain his position with Nefertiti bleed on his neck. Life boon was deployed in order to save Nikica, but alas, his end was foreseen. While Višnja was protected with Protected Resources Miloš had time to remove the Advantage Dušan acuminated, leaving us with expected domination of Emerald Legionnaire.

Deck Name : 99 Problems
Author : Milos Krstic
Description :
"If you're having card flow problems, I feel bad for you son,
I got ninety-nine problems but the deck ain't one."

I would like to note that Ashur Tablets and Emerald Legionnaire are perfectly balanced cards in their current form
and i am looking forward to competitively playing them in the years to come!

Deck Name: Piper Legionnaires
Description: Antti's deck with cosmetic modifcations. The deck works like a charm, it's crystal clear that Antti considered the decklist really well. After Day 1 at the EC I took out one bleed redirection plus some other less important cards and replaced them with prevents as I've heard some rumors about the local meta

What never worked: 2x Vengeful Spirit. Also, I finished each game with my vampires empty or in torpor. The original decklist had Soul Feasting in it - I don't have them so I put in Giant's Blood instead, but I'm not sure if I would have changed this even if I had them. I would probably put in one for Anu, probably works really well. I'm also considering The Rack. The original decklist also had Guardian Vigils in it - I prefer Eagle's Sights, they're easy to get rid of if needed, and they won me 2 games.

Pasi Karjalainen
Organizer/Judge: Lasse Pöyry
https://www.vekn.net/event-calendar/event/10941

We had nice and cosy preliminary rounds - mostly finishing in time outs. Only Otso was so greed that he swept two out of three rounds. Also the finals timed out, so 2 GW from 7 tables...

Final round was:

Otso (Ministry vote)
Lasse (Nadima&Mirembe vipers&temptation)
Pasi (Anarch/Barons toolbox, see below)
Mikko (Banu Haqims)
Antti (Legionnairs with Matasuntha [no show in the finals])

Very short description of the finals is, that I (Lasse) had an awful crypt draw and wasn´able to defend myself. Main fight was between Antti and Otso, while Pasi was waiting for the right moment (and did not have any pressure) and Mikko was balancing whether to go forward and take a VP from Antti or to let Legionnairs weaken Otso. In the end (and it really was close) ousts for Otso (1vp), Antti (1,5vp) and Pasi (1,5vp), and Pasi won the tournament with higher rank.

This was first tournament for Mikko and he was close to win the finals (so was Antti and Otso). Also first tournament (and first games) for another 13 year old player, who happens to have same address as me...

Winning deck:

Deck Name: The Bare Minimum
Description: A combat/toolbox that utilises flexible anarch cards such as Diversion, Line Brawl and various anarch masters. Built for Finnish tournament meta. Definitely needs 2-3 Delaying Tactics.

-- Thank you to all the participants for joining the tournament. The final was very met with veteran players like Miloš Krstić and Milutin Melka, but victory came to Stefan Petrović with a big surprise as he was left holding 3 cards in the end.
-- The final seating was as follows:
-- Stefan Petrović (Obtenebration Bleed)
-- Milutin Melka(Banu Haqim combat wall)
-- Dušan Kosanović (Tzimisce Ad. Sascha Vykos wall )
-- Goran Ivanović (Lord Thremere variant wall)
-- Miloš Krstič (Giotto Emeral Legionnaire varient)
-- Dušan Kosanović was pressed hard from the start, he lost 4 vampires to amaranth, and 5th was left in the gutter of torpor, as he held on for 1:30 min. Once this domino fell, Milutin was the next target, as Miloš was the target of Giotto elimination by Goran, Stefan did try to eliminate Milutin, but was stooped by Goran with eagle sight on 3 occasions. In the end, time run out, and with no cards in deck and eliminated pray, Stefan took the win with 1.5 points.

-- Thank you to all the participants for joining the tournament. The final was very combat heavy with 3 very violent decks, accompanied by 2 bleed decks.
-- The final seating was as follows:
-- Joona Tuominen (unnamed)
-- Niko Vanhatalo (Finnish Politics Potence weenies)
-- Teemu Pulkkinen (Black Hand bleed)
-- Antti Penttilä (Massassi combat)
-- Jani Malmi (Banu Haqim combat + vote)
-- Joona was ousted quite fast and I (Teemu) was ousted soon after. Niko and Jani made a deal to oust Antti to try to resolve the game in a 1v1 situation, and in the end it was Niko who came on top with 4 VP and a GW.
-- Congratulations to Niko for the win. You can see the winning decklist at the beginning of this post.

Deck Name: Water Dog - Ben Pealing the Ghost of Adam Hulse
Author: Kelly Lyons, Ben Peal and Adam Hulse
Description: I started with a deck list from Ben Peal. Here is the link to that deck: https://vdb.im/decks/2018u2bma

He calls the deck, “Defend the Ghosts!”.  However, when I asked Ben about the changes I made to his deck, he answered me with, “Oh goodness...I didn't even build that deck.  I borrowed it from a friend.” That friend was Adam Hulse. Hence the name of the deck, “Water Dog - Ben Pealing the Ghost of Adam Hulse”.

The following are the cards from Ben and Adam’s deck that aren’t in my deck list:
Minion Tap
Powerbase: Montreal
Masquer
Wake with Evening's Freshness

The following are cards from my deck that aren’t in Ben and Adam’s deck list:
Admonitions, The
Barrens, The
Charisma
Giant's Blood
Liquidation
Metro Underground
Freak Drive
Eagle's Sight
Funeral Wake
FBI Special Affairs Division

The big difference between the two decks is the use of masters. I have an Admonitions in every Sabbat deck I build. Freak drive is probably my favorite card in the game or at least it’s one of the most used. I do play with many fortitude decks. I play the deck slowly and try to get three vampires in play while bringing out legionnaires. Build a wall and block actions. Build an army then bleed.

Deck Name: Gang of fur
Description:
Based on multiple iterations of Stanislava decks, nothing original. Credit goes to Martin Weinmayer who served as inspiration for this deck.
Pretty happy with the deck overall would maybe try and find place for 1 more Hartmut Stover and remove 1 Parity Shift for 1 Banishment.

So why this unoriginal deck? In the last months we have had big discussions in our parisian playgroup about the ongoing debate about Ashur Tablets, MMPA and Emerald Legionnaires being too powerful. I have always stated that I am against the nerfs because other decks make better or equal results in the current meta (maybe EL needs to be reviewed with caution, definately not AT or MMPA in my opinion, still against a nerf on EL).

I set myself the challenge to try and play less AT and play other decks that I think are strong or I simply like. The result has been 5 finals in the last year with decks without AT (Weenie AUS, Shambling, Khazar, Carna and Stanislava) and 2 tournament wins (Carna & Stanislava). I have to say that it feels much more powerful to play Stanislava than to play Girls in most of the tables and I generally have better results playing without than with AT.

During this tournament I did the following results: 0 VPs in the first table (Axel was playing a Ministry S&B with tons of pool gain, I was bleeding all the time and got him down to 5 pool during the duel); 5 VPs in the second table; 4 VPs in the third table (4-player table). Total of 2 GW 9 VPs in the preliminary rounds with 2 4-player tables.

The seating in the finals was: Axel (Ministry S&B pool gain) > Vincent (Maila Tap&Bleed) > Guilhem (Edward Vignes & friends) > David (Banu Haqim Bruise&Bleed). I took the bold decision to sit behind Axel, although I didn't manage to oust him during the first round. My idea was to convince the Banu to let me put pressure on Axel (and do nothing behind, not even bounce his bleeds), so that he had a chance to oust me but avoid Axel winning the finals. Axel and David were ousted, then I gave a chance to Vincent to get his VP and when I saw that it was complicated and I was risking getting ousted myself I lunged for the 2 remaining VPs. So the end result was 4 VPs in the finals.

Stanislava is definately strong.

With this fifth edition, the Tragic Love Affair series returned after a 1½ years break and now ties with my former Töölö Grand Ball concept for longevity. We had a lot of good games in a very varied meta.

The final table:

Lauri Salmi (Mambo Jeanne rush)
Jyri Puhakka (Brujah baron bleed & vote)
Tero Aalto (Stanislava) 1 VP
Antti Penttilä (mostly Brujah baron bleed & vote)
Joona Tuominen (the unnamed bleed) 4 VP


Deck Name: The Need For Bleed, starring The unnamed
Description: Heavily inspired by Tero Aalto:s version of The unnamed with my own little twists to it, deck is fun to play but will get table hate all the time
Will type up something about the tournament when i get the time

Bram Van Stappen
Organizer: Emiliano Imeroni
https://www.vekn.net/event-calendar/event/10684

Just a quick overview as I don't really have the time... feel free to contribute in the thread! An amazing FORTY-NINE Methuselahs assembled in Brussels to compete in the largest Belgian event in my memory. Players came from all over Europe, from Belgium, Netherlands, Germany, France, Czechia, Austria, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Ireland, UK, Denmark and Finland!

The Outpost shop gave us the usual great setting, basically reserving the whole space for us. Kudos to them!

The finals' seating was as follows:
Javier (G2-3 merged Barons wall) -> Tero (Malgorzata) -> Bram (Omaya & co. wall) -> Héctor (Gangrel Barons Dual Form) -> Frédéric (Brujah Alastor).

The final was basically an exciting (er...) "High Noon" movie lasting 1 hour and 58 minutes, after which Bram managed to oust Héctor with a combination of Tero's deflected bleeds, Frédéric's backward Disarms, and all-powerful bleeds for one.

Result: Bram 1,5 VP, Tero, Javier and Frédéric 0,5 VP, Héctor 0 VP

Many congratulations to the one and only Belgian Constructed, Limited AND now Grand Prix Champion, Bram the unparalleled!!! And many thanks to all the players for making it such a great event!

Just a few words from main organizer:

It was a great group of 30 Methuselahs ready the bleed one another to extinction in the peaceful summer of Geneva. The population was about a third of local players and two thirds of guests from the rest of Switzerland and Europe. I'd like to repeat here the extent of my gratitude to the participants as well as to my local co-organisers.
The private setting in a house and in the garden outside provided a cozy and intimate context which likely contributed to the general good spirit of the event.

The finals' seating was as follows:
Attila (Emerald Legionnaire) -> Thomas (Emerald Legionnaire) -> Ruben (Edward Vignes) -> Filippo (Banu Princes) -> Marius (Carna wall).

The contesting legionnaires and the 2h30 time limit allow plenty of time for Marius to set his wall and prepare the Smiling Jack. While Ruben is able to go through the redirection-less Banu Haqim, he cannot find the way around Carna. After she gets rid of the Emeralds, the time limit is looming in the final duel between Vignes and Carna, but he dies from the smiling jack with only a couple of seconds left on the clock.

Final count: 1 VP for Ruben and GW 4 for Marius, the new Swiss Champion!

Deck Name: Windham's Wind Dance
Description: A tremere war chantry deck. Wind Dance was added to counter Hunger of Marduk. I didn't encounter any Banu Haqim decks though. But Wind Dance was also effective against aggravated pokes and other nasty surprises in combat. 90 card deck size causes lot of variance and I was in trouble with my draws couple of times. 77-82 deck size would be better.

Deck Name: Shambling into the Void v2
Description: Shambling Hordes and Emerald Legionnaires
Some changes from the last time that I won with this deck. Darby Keeney provided some
comments for more of a mix in masters and in "stealth." The new version flows just as
well, removing the unnecessary Heart of Nizchetus (the deck is so small it's not required)
and the excess Dreams for focus on more survivability. Charisma is free Legionnaires and
with Perfectionist effectively free Hordes. That's powerful. Mylan was the workhorse
today, allowing me to recruit both a Horde and a Legionnaire in the same round twice and
bleeding to setup the oust in an early round.

I was second seed, so did not have final choice. I decided to stack the vote decks in
hopes that would cause contention and sit as Mark's prey because his deck was a slow-
building one.

Me: 3 VP ->
Elan: g1/2 Nos with Fortitude 1 VP ->
Kelly: Capuchin wall 0 VP ->
Norm: g6 Brujah toolbox 1 VP ->
Mark: Black Hand swarm 0VP

Instead of going directly for Angelique, which is my usual strategy, I brought Pearl up with
my first full set of transfers. I had Carlton in hand and wanted him early to help block
Reunion Kamuts and decrease Mark's speed. While it was the right move, it proved
unnecessary as Norm wanted to block all of Mark's actions. I allowed it and Mark was
severely hampered. Norm passed a Poison-Pilled, Reckless Ag to do 5 pool damage to
his prey and was dropping Anarch Revolts in play. A Monkey Wrench finally got Mark,
leaving us in a 4-player game with Kelly at 5 pool.

Kelly attempts to make an Anarch, which gets blocked, leaving him susceptible to the
Revolts on his next turn. My prey is also taking Revolt damage, but I had managed to
make Angelique an Anarch (thank you Pentex); nothing like putting all your eggs in one
basket. Kelly gets ousted.

The 3-player devolves quickly as I have Hordes rush a Famed Lucretia, ousting with
Fame- and Revolt-damage.

In the heads-up, Norm's vampires are all two blood and less. I send Hordes to rush them.
Over two turns, I manage to dunk all of his vampires. I end my turn and let his own
Revolts oust him.

This is a deck that likes to hard-recruit Legionnaires, I expect to get a lot out of them
because the Hordes can protect them. In game 1, when I had been in torpor most of the
game, I recycled 3. In game 2, I recycled 2. I only recycled 1 on the finals, but held onto
both of them the entire game.

Deck Name: Carna & friends
Description: Classic Carna Grinder deck, nothing exceptional. I built the deck, played it once in a friendly game, did some modifications, and played it only once more before the tournament.
I wasn't expecting the meta that I saw (warzone), but more a varied meta (some combat rush, some vote, some bleed, not too much intercept).
It was a total failure my reading of the meta, but I managed to profit from the other players rushing each other (I generaly waited till the other player's vampires where in torpor to launch my bleeds).

-- 2GW7 + 2 vps in the final, won on seeding

Deck Name: Death Star (Setite Version)
Description: Another of my Death Star variants based on Matt Morgan's design.

The deck behaved differently in each game, but did exactly what I needed each time.
Game 1 saw early Waters and a fast RevCo. Being in a 4-player with weenie DEM cross-
table, I had no pressure, which allowed me to setup. Once my predator was ousted, I was
able to oust my prey with a RevCo and call a Con Boon. I had enough pool to withstand
the onslaught and my other RevCo for the game win. Game 2 was much different. I had a
votey prey and had to manage that carefully. He must have felt confident, since I was
offering little pressure other than bleeds for 1. He dropped to 9 pool and I had a Reckless
Ag and Eat the Rich for an oust. The following turn I offered a heads-up deal with my
cross-table for his single vote and ousted his predator while damaging his prey. I allowed
him to oust his prey without interference and proceeded to oust him the turn after. The
deal wasn't necessary given that my predator lacked any vote cards to sway the outcome
of the vote, but it was the safest move.

Bill: weenie DEM 1 VP ->
Brad: vote something (ousted too fast to know) 0 VP ->
Norm: g6 Nos w/Protected District 0 VP ->
Me: 2 VP ->
Kelly: Malk 2020 2 VP

As first seed, I decided to sit as predator to the doubled-up bleed decks. I hoped that Bill
would take one and then be ousted, giving me the ability to win by being the last-man
standing. Things almost didn't go as planned. Bill blew Brad off the table in 17 minutes.
Norm proved harder to oust with his reduction and I called a Con Boon backwards to help him,
wanting it to pass by only 2, so I could gain pool, but not blood, as Qufur had self-
Tempted. That 2 pool proved to be the difference. Bill missed his second oust by 2 pool,
but Kelly was faster than I had expected. He bled through both Bill and Norm in a single
turn. The Reckless Ag I had been holding was now useless. Fortunately, I had just drawn
my first master of the game, The Barrens, and discarded that Reckless. I saw my KRC
voted down early and never called another damaging vote. I was basically a horde bleed
deck. At 20 pool going into the heads up and Kelly was at 22. I bleed a bunch and made
Saatet-Ta, who immediately boosted the next bleed. I see both Spying Missions, which I
uses on Qufur and Count Ormonde. Kelly bleeds me down to 9, stymied somewhat by my
desire to not block. I fire off more bleeds the next turn and finish with a Con Boon to end
at 16. He gets me down to 5, but had less pool than I have minions, so game over. A
Tempted Waters with 1 blood and Qufur with 1 blood gave me free extra actions for
moving through the deck, like calling Con Boon, etc. I was lucky to see all of my Boons,
which made up for not seeing my first master until the heads-up.

CrimethInc. was great today. Saw it in round 1 and the final and was able to get it into
play both times. The extra unlocks even for a pool were well worth it when I needed them.
It's worth the card slot, being an easy discard or a powerful effect. On top of that, self-
Temptations, and Firebrands, this deck can make lots of actions. Knowing what to do
with those actions is critical.

-- 2GW7 + 2.5vp in the final

Deck Name: Hell Rising (Homework 2021)
Description: unnamed + The Rising
WoN 2021 Homework Assignment: Darby Keeney, Kelly Schultz, and I discussed how to
make an unnamed plus The Rising module work. I played this last year at Origins and had
2 GWs, but a bad final. This year with a slightly tweaked deck, I managed 2 GWs in the
prelims and another in the finals.

Me: 2.5 VP ->
Andrew: Tremere toolbox 0 VP ->
Marshal: Valkyrie bleed 0 VP ->
Darby: G6 Gangrel wall 0.5 VP ->
Ben: my Angelique Shamblers + Legionnaire deck 0.5 VP

My opening hand was strong: Enkil Cog, Thirst, The Rising, stealth, and Instantaneous. I
drew into Mylan, Homunculus, and Blithe Acceptance early. I managed to land my first
bleed and drop the Enkil Cog only to have Ben DI the Cog! With my own deck! Then, he
bled me with Trochomancy to remove the possibility that I would recur the Cog into hand
with Tablets. The game turn real slow for me as Ben managed to get some Shambling
Hordes and I had to fight with Tremere intercept to get even bleeds of one through (which
were almost always bounced).

No one drops a second event; The Rising is looking less good in my hand as time moves
on. I finally get the chance to drop it and another Cog shortly thereafter. After about 75
minutes of trying to cycle cards, we're back in "go" mode with a fully operational
unnamed. It takes a bit, but I get a lunge in at around 20 minutes left to get my prey. The
following turn, I get Marshal. I manage to pop the Tablets and recur my Pentex, Elder
Impersonation, Psychomachia, and stealth, taking the Pentex to hand. I was hoping to
bleed Darby on his turn after my next one, as I needed to filter out some useless cards.
We never got there unfortunately. TBH, the DI of the Cog probably gave me this game by
making it much slower for me. If I encounter Darby earlier, I probably run into problems
with the wall.

The Rising played a key role in the final as I prevented several Villeins from hitting the
table (including two from my prey; they were in hand when I ousted) and removed Darby's
pool gain engine.

Deck Name: The Shape of Things to Come (MesoAmerican Wing Build)
Collaboration/Consultation from: Karl Schaefer

Description: A modification of "Flay the Game" (www.vekn.fr/decks/twd.htm#2019rmdc). This is a proof of concept for a module that many are likely to bolt on to V5 Tzimisce. It also scratches the itch of my obsession with British Museum.

-- 1GW4 + 2VP in finals, win on seeding

Overview: I played most of the first round with an open hand of 9 cards. Having 5-7 stealth and 2-3 combat ends visible at all times was mildly disheartening for the 3 ally-based decks at the table so I didn't bother to remove it.

The second round was less favorable, I barely missed my prey who was tossing 4 point Kindred Spirits in my direction until his prey over-transferred....almost like he didn't consider the possibility of 7 bleed coming his way. I still squeak into the final on a roll-off.

Final Table:
Jamie: Laz bleed/block (2 VP)
Matt: Banu Haqium irresponsible bleed
Paul: D'erlette Nephanus Tablets
Darby: Xipe BM Manse (2 VP)
Logan: unnamed Protocol bleed (1 VP)

The Nephandus deck stalled the Banu and Jamie gets back-to-back ousts. He's sitting as 5th seed so it's either engineer his demise or try to blast out 3 VP in a hurry. That first option seemed easier, and if the unnamed misfires, that other option remains viable. But the plan works.

Heads-up with the unnamed was a near thing, compounded by a Weißbier-inspired error on my part. Still managed to barely get the heads-up oust for the 2 VP win on seeding.

-- The library is 50% to hit a Museum within the first 10 cards and 67% within the first 15 cards, so yes there's math behind these ratios.
-- It seems like a lot of Masters, but realistically only about 10 non-trifles get played in a normal game. The rest are buried by the Heart or discarded.

Action (8)
1x Abbot
2x Deep Song -- could be Fiendish if the Femur gets removed, but the lock effect is good.
3x Fiendish Tongue
2x Under Siege -- a little harder to pull off in this build, but still worth duplication.

-- Reduced transient bleed actions are easily offset by 7 copies of Living Manse.

Ally (1)
1x War Ghoul -- upgrade something randomly stolen.

Equipment (15)
1x Blood Tears of Kephran
1x Bowl of Convergence
2x Cooler -- finances Xipe's special

channel, READING BETWEEN THE LYONS in the following episodes:

RBTL - VTES - Episode 0025 - Tiny Dominate - Part 1
RBTL - VTES - Episode 0026 - Tiny Dominate - Part 2

The changes were the addition of DELAYING TACTICS, reducing the amount of MASTER

Finals seating:

Arnold Riegler (Mary Anne Blair multiact) -> Richard Stefan Utner (Capuchin and friends, hand size + bleed) -> Martin Weinmayer (Lasombra vote/bleed) -> Florian Koller (The Unnamed / Great Beast / Soul Gem) -> Julian Schneider (Weenie Anarch, Night Moves, Propaganda of the deeds)

After a fast start Julians weenie Obfuscate damaged Arnold hard, so that he couldn't do much, the permanent Intercept from The Capuchin even made things even worse for him. Still he managed to generate pool and at least stay in the game for a long time.

Afterwards the momentum shifted highly in the favor of The Unnamed, having free reign against the weenies and Lasombra. But after Martin deflected 3 big bleeds in 1 turn from Richard Stefan to the Unnamed, he was capable of finishing him off in his next turn, but being very low on blood. Afterwards Julian also fell prey to Martin and it looked like yet another win for the 2 times European Champion.

Still, Arnold remained gaining enough pool to avoid an oust and after constant pressure of beeing bled hard, finally Martin fell to Richard Stefan and with 20 Minutes to go, Arnold also couldn't withstand the pressure anymore and being eliminated, with the Prince of Vienna, Richard Stefan Utner getting the win.

Finals seating:
Maaike (Dowager & friends toolbox - Roy (Tupdogs & Nephandi) - Jeroen (Ministry Anarch Stealth Bleed) - Steffen (Goratrix Anarch Wall) - Florian (G2/3 Weenie Computer Hacking)

Florians Weenies bled fast and hard, removing 10+ pool before Maaike had her first Vampire out. Dowager & co turned out to have lots of untaps and rushes, so quickly the 1 and 2 caps went to torpor, but they kept coming. The tupdogs + Nepahndi played it slowly early game, focussing on getting Antonio some Nephandi + in the ready reagion, and ensuring to always have a ready tup dog. Jeroen just tried to go forward and bleed, as long as he still had vampires, but Goratrix had many telepathic misdirections to send to his prey.

After Roy removed one of Maaikes 2 vampires , she could really only defend the little pool left. The Tupdogs now started to rush forward, slowly removing Jeroens ousting capacity by eating torporized minions with Nephandi. Goratrix with Anarch Revolt and Enkil Cog managed to stop Florans possible oust with an eagle sight, followed with an Erciyes Fragment-stolen Computer Hacking to oust Florian. Maaike was ousted quickly afterwards, Steffen looking very healthy at about 20 pool.

Jeroens last minion was put in torpor by Roy, and then Jeroen was ousted by Nephandi bleeds for 1 and Antonio using the Codex of the Edenic Groundskeepers. In the 1 vs 1 with Roy and Steffen, both Omaya and Goratrix were put to torpor by Tupdogs, and eaten by the Nehpandi. Without any minions left to defend, his own Anarch revolt in play and 8 bleed per turn on the table, Steffen conceded.

Deck Name: Debate Club for Aspiring Vampires [by Crauseon]
Description:
Went 2GW+6VP in a local, funsies 13-player tournament in Joensuu, Finland. A blast to have a tournament for a change, and everyone came in good spirits and aggressive decks! This is the first draft of the deck, and it has good match-ups and bad match-ups. Think of it as a !Toreador breed deck, but with sustained combat instead of explosive bleeds. I would definitely try to cut clutter to make it a 70 or 66 card deck.

Deck Name: Fists of the Giovanni
Description: A version of a Weenie Potence based on the G5-G6 vamps. I had tried a version with Computer Hacking and tried for this tournament to replace them with permableed and 1 Heidelberg. I also addressed their blood problem, and included Carver’s but also Coven, after some hesitation: bad idea, should be ditched. Went down from 2 Frontal to just 1, but maybe it should be none, it’s always a risky bet.

-- 1GW6 + 3vp in final

Grand Prix Liverpool was a bust personally, but the day after made up for it by becoming my second GP side event win in a row (after https://www.vekn.net/forum/event-reports-and-twd/80273-twd-dawn-operation-2022-10-13). Another interesting second was that Małgorzata was successful again so soon after her long-awaited debut win.

Only two small changes to the deck since https://www.vekn.net/forum/event-reports-and-twd/80442-twd-shell-break-2023-2023-04-10, but both of them ones I'm very happy with. The first one was the hunting ground. As a late-game deck, having a reliable blood supply is essential. The other was switching The Sargon Fragment for Bowl of Convergence. The Ffagment always seemed like a win-more card and rarely saw play, whereas Bowl either makes Lord a fearsome blocker or allows Małgo to work alongside him against breed decks etc.

In a three-round tournament with three tables, many of the opposing decks became very familiar. One of them was a Brujah weenie voter whose predator I was both in the first round and the final and against whom the aforementioned permanent +1 intercept came very handy indeed. The Brujahs came into the final as the first seed but didn't have much of a better place to be as as the second seed, I had myself placed myself opposite the Gangrel barons that I had already faced twice in the preliminary rounds (won once, tied the other) and that wasn't an ideal neighbor for each of us.

The final table sat down in the following order: Brujah weenie voter -> Kiasyd/Lasombra SB -> Gangrel barons -> Snake Girls -> Małgorzata (aka myself). This was probably the easiest choice of seating I've ever had (when having a choice), and not only for being initially separated from the Gangrels but also because Girls typically bleed at a rate my deck can handle, unlike the more aggressive shadow faeries. My first two priorities in the game were trying to prevent Nakthorheb from getting Enkil Cog and to quickly bring out Lord Tremere to block the Brujahs' bloat actions.

Due to bleeds from both their predator and grand predator, the Girls fell quickly, which didn't particularly reduce the pressure on me but forced me to start thinking about stealth to get actions done. The Brujahs had a vote lock, enabled by the Gangrels whose plan was to deal with the by blocking later on, and a ton of minions. The Kiasyds were being worn down by both the Brujah mass and being blocked by the Gangrels, at which point they started working together with the Brujahs.

To me, it looked like the Gangrels would win easily, having seen firsthand in two earlier games how good they are at blocking and bouncing. I thought my only path was to get one oust and win by seed, but then suddenly, the Gangrels ran out of tricks and fell. Suddenly, it started looking a lot like my game. I'd only have to survive the obtenebrated bleeds long enough to get around to a few big votes and bleeds, but I would have to work fast. I started going for the oust immediately, hoping to get a few nice bounces along the way to facilitate my work.

Sure enough, I got my point in one round, and only two players were left. I had earlier equipped Bowl on Małgo in order to have two reliable blockers against the Brujahs, but now it wasn't ideal anymore. In retrospect, I probably should have considered spending one action to re-equip it on Lord to maximise intercept. With a few successful blocks, I survived a turn, after which it was easy to eliminate my opponent from 11 pool with Reins+bleed+bleed.

Not much new general knowledge to take home from this tournament, other than that this is a solid deck that fits the current European meta better than I'd have thought. For some reason, I kept forgetting to use Monastery of Shadows at critical times, whereas I didn't forget a single Heart trigger. Go figure. As per future improvements, I'd really like to add a third Information Highway, as it's simply so good in this deck, but I have no idea what to cut. Murmur will probably have to go either way as its bounce function is limited, and I have never played it as +bleed.

Deck Name: Burn down the patriarchy
Description: MMPA and revolts. The final round was very different to the preliminary ones, since the heaviest SB decks made it there with most of the vps along with my not that reactive girls. I chose the deck expecting toolboxyish meta, which was mostly right in the prelim. I managed to bloat through the heavy SB in the finals (regret for not including Archon investigation this time), and having enough rushes was key, even if I didn't drawn any acceleration and had to be very careful with my actions. My plan from the start was to go the salmon way, since I knew I could not leave my back open for any of the other decks in the table and my own prey was a lower seed if they happened to get 2 vps in the process (which is what happened, so I won draw with higher seed). I played most of the round with Nana and Aksinya, only getting Cybele up on the latter half of time limit, and risking being ousted by the malk94, but the +1 stealth bleeds of three with Monastery of shadows was the critical finishing touch in the end.

-- 1 VP, 2 VP (GW), 2 VP, 3 VP in the final

In the final round, everyone sat so as to have Nowy's !Gangrels on the back, resulting in the following seating:
Tariq Eats the World (Karolis) -> Aksinya wall (Nowy) -> Samedi combat (ZaraZ) -> Baali (Nerijus) -> Khurshid's Legionnaires (Lech).
Karolis was the first in the final round. Nowy put Montreal into play, and Samedi influenced Angel out in the first round, in order to seize Montreal in the next round, hoping that Nowy's Aksinya would not be out yet. The Baali had already met Samedi in a prey/predator configuration, so they started very cautiously, influencing vampires, but waiting to reveal them. The Legionnaires, on the other hand, started by influencing out.... Anu, who turned out to be the only vampire on the table for the rest of the game due to terrible crypt draw.
Tariq slowly rolled out, and Nowy put the Dreams into play on the second turn, which allowed him to influence Aksinya out right away, so Samedi's elaborate plan with Angel would have been in ruins, if it wasn't for the Pentex Subversion in ZaraZ's hand. In the second round Samedi influenced out a second small vampire, Marie-Pierre, and started pumping Baroque with Montreal.
Montreal went back to Nowy as Marie-Pierre can't block older vampires and !Gangrel's Celeste came out. The cocky Samedi went for Montreal, countered Rotschreck with a Relentless Reaper and sent Celeste into torpor. This turned out to be the window Baali needed and two infernalists entered the table. Tariq ate Celeste and gained CEL. This allowed Nowy to bring out the second Celeste, and Baali started with Unleash DI'd by the Legionnaires and threatening backoust.
Samedi agreed to cut the Baali some slack and the game went downhill for them from there... Legionnaires quickly went down after reckless, Tariq got a point from Baali for Nowy and despite Samedi's verbal gymnastics he refused to be persuaded to go against Baali together, thanks to HL: Retribution it was a swift ending. Then the game's fate was still in balance for a while, because Baali had their hand blocked, but in the end they triumphed.

Deck Name: Malkavian bleed with a twist of hand control
Author: Oortje
Description: Malkavian bleed with a twist of hand control.G56 TWD 17-04_23.
This is a bleed deck with a little fat, which makes it slower then a usual bleed deck. First bring out the biggest with DOM and play 3 or 4 governs superior. Once you have 3 vampires the deck slows down a little because it lost 3 or 4 governs and usually not a lot of stealth. So you should clog little on stealth. But this normalizes in the mid-late game. So poke and bleed a few 1 bleeds just to give m some fake hope.
Oh boy what a joy to play precision bleed. Revelations helped me to get at least 3 sure oust. it's hits were 3 bait and switches, 1 villein, some bleed reduce card and enough knowledge to know that bleeds of 6 would not get me burned.
About the hand control from the title: I not only like to control the hand of my opponent with revelations but also my hand. So I like to play my bleed decks with a big handsize, because I refuse to go into topdeck mode. Bittersweet,Mellon,dreams,library even hearth all support the sure play strategy. Count the number of times that you rely on cards that are in your deck instead of in your hand and if that happens once every 2 turns or more than you should reconsidder your handmanagement strategy.

-- 2GW5 + 1,5vp in final

Seven years of grinding countless tournaments with this deck, and finally it wins! I started playing VtES quite exactly seven years ago, and this was my first proper tournament deck that I played both in my first big local tournament and my first EC in Genoa. I have no idea how many tournaments the deck has seen, but the number is high, and a fair share of finals, too, including some close calls.

The deck has changed fairly little over the years. The main philosophy is that the vampires are all capable of doing a lot by themselves, which significantly reduces the pressure to have perfect hand at all times. Unless something goes wrong, the first turns consist of Małgorzata doing her thing, and using all transfers to buy new minions instead of influencing. The turn you begin with two minions is the first one with some variety, and even then, the only other action may be a Magic of the Smith. In other words, it's a very slow deck – but resilient, and well suited for the violent Finnish meta. Between Obedience and Mirror Walk, you're pretty well protected from entering combat. Allies, however, are the deck's big weakness.

The most difficult thing in playing this deck is the turn there are three minions, i.e. four actions, because there are so many options, including everything you can tutor with Fanchon. If you have made it this far, the chances are you're in a good position, but also that the other remaining players have had a lot of time to develop their boards. If the time isn't running out or there isn't any other impending disaster, it usually makes sense to keep playing cautiously. Do a few powerful actions per turn, and never stop buying new minions, unless you're very low on pool, because it will pay back later, and who knows, you may even have to replace one of your minions with a fresh copy at some point.

Now let's take a look at yesterday's tournament. This Easter event at a local pub is quickly becoming a tradition. It's also dear to me because this is where I earned my place in the Hall of Fame https://www.vekn.net/forum/event-reports-and-twd/79738-twd-shell-break-espoo-2022-04-17
. A special feature of the tournament is that everybody brings chocolate eggs, and each time your prey is ousted, you get their egg. We got a nice turnout, close to the maximum number of participants we could have accomodated. The signature card of the day seemed to be The British Museum that was contested in several tables. My choice of deck was driven by two rather irrelevant factors: 1) It was over a year since the last time I had played it, and 2) despite all the attempts, I still hadn't gotten it in the TWDA.

I knew the first round was going to be tough just by looking at who were sitting at the table. I was not disappointed, as my prey quickly brought out Tupdogs and Rock Cats. The other two decks were Legionnaires with British Museum and Laibon vote. Ally rush and the slave rule are the two worst things that can happen to a deck that relies on Obedience, so I didn't rate my chances high. However, being experienced players, the others realized that we needed to stick together or fall to the cats one by one. With concentrated efforts and repeatedly rescuing each other, we managed to stay in the game and wear the cats down enough for me to oust them with one bleed. This is where the game properly began. Incidentally, this was also followed by the aforementioned crucial turn when I have three minions in play for the first time. Recalling my own advice from the past, I decided to take it slow, first eliminating my predator's main voter and my prey's only bouncer with Banishments. However, when the first Banishment was DI'd, I realized I had an even better plan, asked Fanchon for an Ancilla Empowerment, cast it alongside the Anarchist Uprising I had in my hand, and took out the Legionnaires from 12 pool with 6+6 damage. The next turn, simple bleeds without any modifiers for a total of 7 were enough to sweep the table.

In the second round, my predator was a Ghede rush deck, which is threatening but manageable as long as you don't run out of Obediences. Luckily, I drew them in magical amounts and never had to enter combat. The prey was a Lutz vote and bleed deck that I knew powerful – and very capable of backousting. The crosstable was a Kiasyd/Lasombra bleeder that was the most imminent table threat. However, it didn't manage to do much before overextending and being ousted by Lutz. At this point, the rest of the table ganged up on me, but despite rushes and several Banishments on Małgo, I managed to grind out three points and a win.

The final was one where I had even more zero expectations than usual. There were three rush decks: Black Hand Assamites, Shalmath, and the Rock Cats we met earlier. The fifth deck was a Living Manse bleeder that I miscast as a Tzimisce wall based on the crypt. As the first seed, I had the power to place myself as far from the cats as possible, but there were still no good options. I chose to sit between the Assamites and Shalmath, inconveniently forgetting that Assamites like to rush with contracts that only work on the prey. The game started chaotically with some interesting deals and crosstable rushes. Nizzam al-Latif rushed Małgo as soon as she came out, and them being the same age, she couldn't protect herself. I had to bring Lord Tremere out manually, giving me a bit more safety, but I knew I'd be dead as soon as soon as I ran out of Obediences, or if the cats decided to pay a visit crosstable. Another thing I hadn't realized was that I was not only sandwiched between two rush decks but also the table's best blockers, so no actions were free.

Repeated Banishments on Shalmath gave me enough space to oust him, which set me in a good position, being the first seed. Shortly thereafter, though, I lost all of my minions to rushes from both sides, and Fanchon was Graverobbed. I had closer to 20 pool but no other resources. There was nothing left for me to do except sit and wait if time ran out before anybody got two VPs or managed to oust me. Time was on my side this time.

Deck Name: Gangrel Wall

Control the table, block stuff, and craft smart lunges. There are multiple lunge options:
- Bleed. 4/5 bleeds for one per turn can oust anyone. Faster if you get Club Illusion.
- Use the votes for a quick finish.
- Constant Revolution can sweep the table if you can protect it.
Low stealth, but Form of Mist + Form of the Bat can get through a surprising number of defenses.

Deck Name: Appolonius ftw
Description:
Appolonius is kinda cool – I think he really captures the 90s World of Darkness urban gothic punk thing. I have thus been playing around with the advanced version since it came out. With the newish Brujah cards he can really rule.
Once the setup is complete, this is a truly terrifying rush-combat deck that can actually oust and also comes with a quite sturdy block defense (even some deflect). However, until the setup is complete, the deck is quite vulnerable. Apart from the dreams there is no accelleration, so it takes time to get Appolonius out. Then, he absolutely must be advanced and ideally also get Preternatural Strength or Depravity. Toss in a Powerbase L.A. and you’re ready to go.
This particular decklist is the result of a somewhat incomplete revision. I mostly played the deck with 85 card including 9 Ashurs, because once the Ashurs optimise your library, the deck really takes off. However, I was afraid of multiple-master Ashur decks in the tournament, which will always be faster than me. Also, I felt that I needed to improve my initial defence, so I reduced the Ashurs and included more block cards & Villeins. Ironically, I saw only one deck playing some Ashurs and no triple was ever completed on the tables I played.

-- 2GW8 + 4vp in the final

Deck Name: Fix the Problem at the Source
Description: Arishat + Barons

Thanks to Darby Keeney for feedback and to Ke Carlton, whose Baalicious Barons won the week after an
earlier version of this deck didn't. His vote package helped me rebalance mine.

Round 1: Got hammered early by a Platinum Protocol deck. I only managed Arishat and Elisha. After a
back-oust deal to give me turns to go forward. I grabbed my prey, removed my predator again to head
into the two-player with 1 VP each, but recurred the same Eat the Rich 3 times to win with 3VPs.

Round 2: The table had to oust the weenie Dominate. My predator was at 4 pool, so I gave him space
even though it was Lodin and company. Ghede as my prey was very tenuous. I took almost no forward
actions, then his pool hit 15. I allowed my predator to hit me for 5 pool damage to do 3 to my prey.
Finished Ghede off with votes on my turn. Headed to the three-player with 3 votes decks.
Condemnation: Mute gave me the leverage to win with 4VPs.

Round 3: I managed only 1 VP, but it was the one I needed to make to first place, which was critical
for the seeding in the final. I got to the duel against a pro-Barons vote toolbox, but didn't have
enough firepower to oust it.

Finals: First seed going in.
Me: 4 VP ->
Kelly: weenie Dominate 0 VP ->
Norm: pro-Barons vote-toolbox 1 VP ->
Stefan: g4 Kiasyd bleed 0VP ->
Matt: Gangrel toolbox

The final was done quickly, clocking only 38 minutes. I had Arishat plus Jacques and Atiena in my
crypt. Definitely the B-team. My hand had one vote, a KRC, but was holding Villein and Giant's
Blood. My prey dropped Information Highway. Norm and I work damage in tandem, allowing or votes to
pass. He's crushing his prey and I am doing a bit against mine, but his pool expenditures help.
Norm survives 6 Dominate bleeds, but starts his turn at 3 pool. A Reckless Agitation finishes his
prey and puts significant damage on mine. I've been mostly ignoring my predator because he's taking
tool-up actions and bleeding for 1. My turns comes, I play Reckless Agitation with Arishat, ousting
my prey and damaging my predator. Top-deck another Reckless and pass it 5 on my new prey. Norm
starts at 4 pool. Predator brings out another vampire. With the newly influenced Atiena, I oust
them both on the next turn, taking 4VPs.

Description: An experiment in combining the fun of MMPA with the joys of Stanislava. After the tournament, I might consider cutting one copy of Govern the Unaligned, Sense the Savage Way and Earth Meld each to streamline things a bit, as they were probably the cards I kept discarding most often.

Deck Name: Vasiliy sabe donde vives

Description:
This is a bleed deck whose main objective is to make redirecting and reducing bleed very expensive.
It relies on the cards Suspension of Disbelief and Narrow Minds to achieve the goal.
I added a Libertas since the deck is packed with a couple of Anarchs, so with this combo
a typical Telepathic Misdirection or Deflection costs 3 or 4 blood.

Positively surprising number of people gathered to enjoy some games of VTES, even on a short notice. Four player tables didn't slow the pace at all and games were as intense as ever.

The finals was definitely one of the tightest of our games in a while, keeping everyone at the edge of their seats until the very last minutes of the game. Congratulations to Peetu for winning and reaching the Hall of Fame!

Finals Seating:
Aapo Järvelin (Pre Tzimisce Vote/toolbox) --> Emma Takkunen (Mithras Bleed) --> Noora Hirvonen (Weenie Auspex) --> Petrus Makkonen (Arika + Watenda Alastor) --> Simo Tiippana (Big Cap Dom/Obf bleed + tricks)

Winners Deck List:

Deck Name: Watenda Alastor
Description: It's a control deck, where Maris and Watenda play key roles. Aim for a three-way, as control does, with your preferred frenemies. Arika is there for extra votes, end-game bleed and to punish Gangrel Barons for their locations. Worth it.
ECTU should be Carlton, mainly for contest. Flamethrower is superior in the Girls matchup - diablerize them after the rush instead of trying to grind them out with Assault Rifle. Adjust the vote-push to your liking and local meta.

Otso Saariluoma
https://www.vekn.net/event-calendar/event/10481

Deck Name: Usurper High Council

Description: Tremere fatties with a bit diversified crypt and an expanded master module. The game plan is to keep bloating and accelerating out new vampires while aiming for the vote lock and taking over in the mid to late game. The hand manipulation with Ashurs, Heart and Mistress is rather spectacular.

-- Additional comment from Otso as he replied to a question about including Papillon in the deck, from the event FB-page:
-- "I thought 4 city titles were enough to justify Papillon, though I played it only once during the tournament (didn't really draw it early enough to matter) and I thought the blood management might come in handy.
-- As for the feel for specific cards during the tournament, Scourge was really important in two of the rounds. Obediences were not needed this time, but would not cut them. Political Stranglehold and Rumors of Gehenna are maybe less often seen than the other votes, but both were really good throughout the tournament. You could change Bowl of Convergence for something else (Signet of King Saul, Gran Madre di Dio, or sth), as you really don't have wakes to back up the blocking strategy. The main thing that pushed playing Bowl over the others for me was the ability to contest it with MotS. But never saw any other player getting Bowl into play, so wasn't really useful. But the MotS/ Heart module pulls so much weight wouldn't cut them as a package.
-- I knew that Rutor's Hand might be a bit overkill, played it only once, but then it was rather good. It does fit into the slow building theme of the deck. Metro UG / Enkil Cog module was okay, but not critical. Golconda and Pentex never really saw play during the tournament, but feels nice to have these as options."
-- Prince report:
-- We had a tournament in Turku for the first time in 10 years, and it was great success in terms of attendance. As a new baron in the city, I want to thank all the attendees for creating a very nice and warm-spirited tournament. The meta was uncharacteristically non-combat (for the nordic), and there was a lot of fast bleed and politics.
-- All the finalists in order from highest seed:
-- Magnus Söder with Arika bleed
-- Otso Saariluoma with Usurper High Council (2 vps in the final)
-- Kim Nilsson with Ministry of Crime ie. Platinum Protocol (2 vps in the final)
-- Noora Hirvonen with Weenie Dem (1 vp in the final)
-- Pekka Kinnunen with Elimelech toolbox
-- Shoutout to Lauri Salmi who was left out by draw from shared 4th place.

Congrats to Ray, who earned himself another victory with a crew of arms dealers. His minions gleefully charged into the haven of any vampire that stood in his way with pockets full of grenades.  The final table consisted of:

5 years ago I organized my first tournament at the same venue. So this was a celebratory event of sorts. Nice amount of people showed up and I personally enjoyed every round. Finals was super tight! And a nice artist provided us with some prices.

Finals seating:
Otso Saariluoma(Tzimisce)
Antti Penttilä(Ministry)
Lauri Salmi(Garou rim's winning deck)
Jyri Puhakka(new Brujah)
Tommi Hakomaa(Martins Bruce de guy deck)

In the finals Antti managed to snatch 2VP's and Tommi got GW+3.(More info later)

Deck Name: AUS Nosset
Description: I wanted to build a deck that can deal most of its damage without any Directed actions. I also like some reactions, so Baali based vote was off the table. First built as a fun deck, surprised me at some test games and performed well in the tournament. The deck is quite strong in the late game and can sway the table to your favor with a couple of well placed Parity Shifts and some table talk.

Warsaw Station is the most important card in the deck. Might want to add fourth. Telepathic Vote Counting is bad, replace those with something else. Maybe Cryptic Rider and one more political action?

Deck Name: Unspecified Platinum Snakes
Author: Lukas Simandl
Description: This is the third iteration of this pack and by far the most successful and also my favorite. In the first iteration, I dropped cards requiring Unnamed. It's generally a problem to have things in there that only Unnamed can play and not untap after, there's no room for any extra multi actions and it's better to hold untap card for next turn. The cards that left were replaced with Platinum Protocols and I increased the number of Revelation of the Serpent, a card that allowed me to reduce the number of stealth.
The deck isn't hard to play, pop Unnamed, become anarch, bleed with Platinum Protocol each turn, untap, and keep Archon Investigation and Party out of Bounds in hand. Unnamed plus one extra Vampire is enough, definitely no need to draw a third, better to keep 20 pools for "defense".

Deck Name: Members Only
Created by: Darby Keeney (Not-Karl-Schaefer)
Description and Notes: Sometimes more than Legionnaires get recycled.

Recruit Legionnaires on the cheap with Erebus and Charisma. Because the deck runs such a thin library and I'm reusing quite a bit of it, I exclusively recruit from hand and recur via their card text as infrequently as possible. In the midgame, I might even retrieve Legionnaires with Sargon Fragment.

The Legion wants to get Leather Jackets and not be so fragile. Hunger of Marduk, Horseshoes, Touch of Pain, Carrion Crows and additional .44 Magnum strikes were so prevalent in the Vidor tournament that my vampires preferentially got the Jackets in most games.

British Museum can provide 12 unlocks over the course of the game, reducing costs of 7 of those actions, it is a priority for play. There are 4 additional unlocks from Shroud Mastery and potentially a lot more from NAC PAC and Leather Jacket text.

Filchware's Pawn Shop gets used Leather Jackets from the ash heap at no cost (+1 for Filchware, -1 for Museum) unlocking at the end of the turn for defense. Cooler and Blood Tears also recycle with it. Sometimes you even get a discounted toy from someone else's ash heap.  Filchware's + Museum feels like a solid module for just 2 MPA (one trifled) and 5 DPA/Dreams/Heart/Babalawo interactions.

There's enough blood gain (Coven, Giant's Blood, Jake, Blood Tears, Cooler, Palatial Estate) to cover Villein for 5 as a default, Sargon actions, frequent modifier costs, bounces and Nicomedes' text. My vampires have not yet hunted with this deck.

Crypt (12 cards, min=21, max=28, avg=6.25)
------------------------------------------
4x Erebus	    7  AUS FOR NEC dem	Harbinger of Skulls:3
2x Babalawo Alafin  7  AUS FOR NEC ani	Harbinger of Skulls:4

1x Mina Grotius	    6  FOR NEC cel	Harbinger of Skulls:3
1x Solomon Batanea  5  AUS FOR nec	Harbinger of Skulls:4

-- Babalawo and Nicomedes offer a lot of hand control, but I prioritize Erebus as one of the 2 opening vampires unless I have Charisma in hand.

1x Giant's Blood
1x Heidelberg Castle, Germany
1x Jake Washington
1x Pentex(TM) Subversion
4x Villein
1x Wider View

-- I thought Heidelberg for Sargon+Mask would be useful, but is not worth the cost. It probably should be a duplicate Anarch Troublemaker. That slot could be a Parthenon if you want to add Maabara for truly excessive recursion.
-- Please do not email or IM with questions regarding an Ashur Tablets variation. I will not help build it.

Ally (12)
1x Carlton Van Wyk
10x Emerald Legionnaire -- recursion is broken
1x Vagabond Mystic

-- Ossian could be an interesting addition in some metagames. Getting a Leather Jacket and then rushing (with a Legionnaire then Filching the used Jacket) would result in a very fat werewolf.

Equipment (13)
1x Blood Tears of Kephran
1x Cooler
1x Erebus Mask -- tons of value when you act 3 times per turn
2x Heart of Nizchetus
5x Leather Jacket
1x Palatial Estate
1x Sargon Fragment, The -- did I mention that recursion is broken
1x Signet of King Saul, The -- less valuable in the current V5 meta

-- Adding a Bowl of Convergence is probably worthwhile, even if it temporarily ends up on an ally.

Swept a 4-player table round 1, got 1 VP in round 2. Went into finals as
2nd seed with 1GW+5VP. Won with 4VP in final round.

Finals seating:
1. Alex Romano (1st seed): Inyanga Garou ->
2. Matt: Fighty Summon History Toolbox ->
3. Bill: Unnamed Great Beast w/Abombwe ->
4. Logan Cozad: G6 Platinum Ministry + Serpentis ->
5. Karl Schaefer: Giotto Summons Legionnaires w/British Museum

Deck Name: "Great Beast Takes the Skin: A Stupid Deck for Crappy Jerks"

Thanks to Jay Kristoff for further refining the otherwise boring deck title.
Thanks to Darby Keeney for assisting with initial ideation.

Description:
Brings out the Unnamed who gets Abombwe, grabs a Soul Gem and Calls the Great
Beast for ABO+CEL+PRO. The two large, infernal minions then bleed a lot and the
Great Beast also rushes and goes on ancillary errands. If the Great Beast burns a
minion, it hopefully gets a superior Taking the Skin: Minion and then bleeds twice at
four per bleed.

This deck is really a lot of fun to play, and bloats like crazy when it works. In both
the first and the final rounds, had over 40 pool at the time of ousting final prey. Can
get decked, especially if it runs into walling tech, but don't want to increase library
size any more since it relies on getting a combo going early, and consistency is key.

I encourage you to try this deck out yourself for some quality entertainment.
If there was one element I regretted lacking across rounds, it was a touch of surprise
intercept for the Great Beast. REALLY would have liked to have one more Pursuit.

Crypt (12 cards, min=40, max=40, avg=10)
----------------------------------------
12x unnamed, The  10  CEL DAI OBF PRE PRO  Baali:6

Library (79 cards)
Master (18; 10 trifle)
7x Abombwe -- a lot, I know, but early draw is important
5x Dreams of the Sphinx -- I make no apologies here. 4 might have been enough
1x Golconda: Inner Peace -- for when you're ready for a fresh, new Great Beast
1x Monastery of Shadows -- fantastic in this deck; keeping for sure
1x Redeem the Lost Soul -- quite good: play master, gain 5 pool
3x Villein -- especially nice just prior to blowing up the vamp

Action (18)
5x Call the Great Beast -- core card, usually played twice per game, sometimes thrice
7x Flurry of Action -- core card; would not recommend removing any copies
2x Mantle of the Bestial Majesty -- might replace 1 copy with another Claws of the Dead
4x Unleash Hell's Fury -- was the perfect number for this deck in this tournament!

Ally (2)
2x Mylan Horseed -- would remove 1 copy if I played this tourney over

Equipment (6)
6x Soul Gem of Etrius -- early draw important for immediately Calling the Beast

Action Modifier (20)
1x Cloak the Gathering -- was always nice, but 1 was probably enough
4x Earth Control -- about right, might have liked 1 more
3x Enkil Cog -- don't get too attached; the Unnamed gets blown up twice
9x Instantaneous Transformation -- of course
1x Revelation of the Serpent -- gold every time, but 1 was enough; only Unnamed can play
2x Zephyr -- helped once in each of two rounds; might remove 1 copy

Action Modifier/Combat (7)
4x Predator's Transformation -- gold! Cheap to cycle, directly responsible for 2VPs that day
3x Taking the Skin: Minion -- use w/Great Beast and Flurry for lunge gimmick

Combat (8)
1x Claws of the Dead -- used for maneuvering to close more often than for the agg
4x Form of Mist -- of course super useful; might add another
3x Pursuit -- critical at both uses; would definitely add one more

-- ..So in sum, might remove one copy each of Dreams, Mantle, Mylan, and Zephyr,
-- replacing with one Claws of the Dead, one Pursuit, and maybe one more Earth Control
-- and/or Form of Mist. Might try to make room for a Predator's Communion and/or a
-- Taking the Skin: Vulture, and maaaaybe a Carlton Van Wyk and/or Veneficti if I can find
-- room. Would not try to shrink the deck too much; got decked in round 2 (resulting in
-- the game loss), and the library was brought low in both of the other rounds.

After last year's dramatic surge in participation numbers, we managed to retain a similar level, despite a bunch of last minute cancelations. For myself, it was the fifth time hosting the nationals, so the routine is getting pretty well rehearsed. As seems to be a common theme in Finnish large events, we had a tight schedule dictated by the venue's limitations, but everything went well, as usual

The hit meme of the tournament was the amount of the unnamed decks. At least six of them were spotted, which means that almost every seventh deck featured our dear old shady beast. I was naturally a part of the problem myself, but I regret nothing, even though I may be personally partly to blame for the phenomenon. And even though there was another unnamed in two of my three tables...

The amount of combat decks seemed very low by Finnish standards, and I didn't come across that many walls, either. This was reflected in the final that included two heavy bleed decks, one bleed/vote, one bleed/breed, and one wall.

The final table:

Antti Penttilä (Palla Grande breed) 1 VP
Jyri Puhakka (the unnamed bleed)
Teemu Sainomaa (Gangrel barons wall) 3 VP
Juha Nyholm (Art of Memory bleed) 1 VP
Esa-Matti Smolander (Stanislava)

Better late than never? This was my first time winning a tournament abroad, and I wasn't sure how this procedure would work, but it seems TWDs don't write themselves, so let's get to it.

Originally, a whole group of Finns was to travel to Spain for the GP weekend, but in the end, it was just me. The attendance from different parts of Europe ended up being low overall, with me representing the whole north, and there was nobody from the east. I didn't let this bother me, though, and set out to enjoy my time and make new friends.

After coming very close to winning the GP, I already felt like a winner and had no pressure whatsoever to perform in the side event. I even considered playing a shallowly tested deck for fun, but I'm glad I didn't, for several reasons, and not only because the choice I went with resulted in a victory, but because in the first round, the other choice would have resulted in a perplexing three-way contest of Dmitra Ilyanova rush decks, perplexing because it was the first time I ever saw this deck being played in a tournament.

Ah yes, the deck I chose to play? Well my trusted unnamed grinder, of course. In the first round, it didn't quite live up to its designation, though, as I got a very fast start, which was good because I needed to take advantage of my prey and grandprey contesting Ms. Ilyanova. After the first point, though, I had to make a generous deal with my new prey, to let him take a point, just to survive, because he was able to burn my Secure Havens with Themistocles and leave my star vampire vulnerable to rushes. After the deal was concluded, I got back on track and managed to pick up the rest of the points before my prey was able to rush me again.

In the second round, I sat between Brujah barons combat (predator) and something that was either Saulot or Shalmath, the specifics escape me at this point (it's been three months and I didn't take notes). The game seemed quite hopeless, as my predator played erratically and an Arika deck across the table seemed to be getting away with everything. I was protected by S. Haven, so I could concentrate on just gradually chipping at my prey's pool. My grandpredator, a Gangrel horde deck, somehow managed to survive until I finally got rid of Arika, and started playing at this point. He had simply too many minions and I didn't have enough time, so he ran over the hapless Brujah and myself. Six points in total was enough to reach the final.

The final game was a bit chaotic, but that I guess is just the way of the country. The setting looked challenging from the start. My predator brought out Aksinya and later Fakir, but I managed to get my defenses up in time. There was another aggressive Gangrel deck behind it, that one with Matasuntha, who started looking my way at a rather early stage. My first prey was a Malkavian bleeder (a flashback to the day before, when my Malk prey had run away with the GP final) who I knew would be tough, but I got lucky as he didn't draw enough bounce, and also wasn't fast enough to oust the War Ghouls in front of him (What is it with the ghouls? Both finals of the weekend had them). I had to play the long game and started to steal the ghouls from crosstable, both to stop them from coming over preemptively and as potential blockers against the rest of the table. Without the ghouls, the Tzimisce didn't have many answers left.

The hard part was ahead. The Gangrels were steadily eating my pool. Luckily though, there weren't bounced bleeds. Had my grandpredator been a bleeder, it would have been a completely different game. Matasuntha was, unsurprisingly, difficult to get past, and my deck was about to run out. My job got a bit easier when Mata's friend Rosa was burnt after eating a Horde, when my opponents (who had smartly teamed up after my first oust already) made a mistake (as I had the edge, and it was the only vote on the table). Still, it was a close call, as I had to use the last stealth card in the deck for the oust, but it was an obvious thing to do as the previous one had been DI'd (a sign of desperation), it would mean winning the tournament, and I wouldn't get another chance anyway.

With three points, the win was decided, but we decided to play until the end anyway. I had no deck left and one blood total while my opponent had plenty of cards and two healthy vampires. My pool was high, though, and I was able to grind a sweep with my remaining resources.

And here it is, my fifth unnamed TWD. Too bad there are no deck-specific hall of fames... Credit for this version's ingenious subtitle goes to my prey from the second round.

Deck Name: With a little help from Giotto
Description: Reins ruins Reims
I decided to rebuild the deck from scratch after the disastrous results of the EC. The deck had become bloated over time due to the addition of cool cards and other silver bullets and the cardflow had become terrible. I've trimmed it to 70 cards to focus on the core mechanics (Giotto / Kaymakli) and performing simple yet efficient actions (bleed for 3, Banishment -- and stealth to make it work!)
The deck is now like clockwork.
The final table was: Evgueni (Ian Forestal EL DOM/OBF) > Mathieu (Khazar Diary) > Me > Dhia (Council of Doom) > Thibault (Tremere Valerius Maior / Carna / Uta Kovacs)
I was first seed and didn't want to sit next to Thibault whose Valerius Maior kills my stealth or Evgueni whose deck can bleed really hard. So I sit next to Dhia, and we made an agreement since his crypt shared Leandro and Arika with mine. I would get Leandro, he would get Arika. (Restrospectively, I would have been the predator of the Khazar deck, but couldn't possibly know Evgueni would be so slow to get out).
Evgueni didn't have Ian in his starting crypt and lost 3 turns to fetch him. During that time, Mathieu brought out Marciana Giovanni, Rudolfo etc., played an early Khazar Diary while discarding some Draeven Softfoot. I managed to bring out Giotto, Leandro and finally Jaroslav Pascek (giving me the vote lock over Dhia) while Dhia played Huitzilopochtli and then Arika. I managed to complete a cycle of Ashur Tablets and yielded Information Highway to allow Dhia to influence faster. I wanted to keep Dhia under control while giving him some air to pressure the Valerius Maior as much as possible, hoping they would both spend lots of resources against each other. On turn 6, Ian Forestal is finally out but the Khazar is almost ready to swarm (5 counters), I have to back oust the Khazar before he gets me. My Ancilla Empowerment is delayed, and I finally oust Mathieu on the following turn despite a DI on the Ancilla: I've drawn Anarchist Uprising. I let Dhia call an Ancient Influence which brings me to 22 pool, then Dhia manages to oust his prey who makes too many mistakes with Valerius (not attempting to block first with him, then getting a Bowl on him instead of Carna or fetching an Ivory Bow with Uta). I was planning to contest Arika to prevent that, but Thibault's early demise caught me by surprise. I contest Arika on the following turn, and Dhia accidentally brings out Leandro (he wanted to bring out Etrius) leading to a double contest. Since it only favors Evgueni who was 1 vp but has a better seed than Dhia, we agree on me yielding Leandro and Dhia yielding Arika. And Dhia is true to its word, so the endgame is pretty tight. I bleed Dhia with Arika for 3, the bleed gets bounced to Evgueni who attempts to block. I add stealth to force him to bounce back which would give me the victory since I keep a Reins of power in hand. But Evgueni takes the bleed and I feel the game is lost for me since Dhia is probably going to oust him. Dhia bleeds on his turn with stealth, but Evgueni had in fact a Deflection in hand and bounces on me which was a very clever move. Thus Evgueni survives and tries to oust me but miss his mark. With less than one minute of the clock, I have one last shot and manages to oust Dhia by bleeding with Arika, calling an Ancilla then a final Reins of Power which also ousts Evgueni. (Different outcome from the EC) Me: 2vp (1st seed), Dhia 2vp (5th seed), Evgueni 1vp.

9x Ashur Tablets -- very usefull despite some Trochomancies on round 1, and Dhia winning the Ashur race in the finals
1x Coven, The
1x Dreams of the Sphinx -- could be removed. I was glad to draw it, but was also fine without it
1x Giant's Blood -- usually discarded because someone else had already played it, but still worth the slot
1x Information Highway -- always useful to transfer back 3 per turn, but see below
1x Jake Washington -- versatile as an early blocker or blood provider, but unused during this tournament
1x Monastery of Shadows
1x Powerbase: Montreal -- used in one game only
1x Presence -- a card I've been removing and adding, helps Giotto a lot to play sup Majesty, get the stealth from the Monastery, or simply Banish a 7-cap
1x Uptown Hunting Ground -- wasn't useful during the tournament, usually because I didn't have Arika or Catherine when I could play it. In theory, the deck needs blood but Coven is usually enough
3x Villein
2x Wider View

-- I probably miss a Pentex Subversion to bypass Valerius or simply to save to stealth cards.
-- I used to play 2 copies of Dreams, Powerbase and Information Highway but the deck in fact works well without them. There's mostly useful to bring Giotto out quickly (hopefully gaining some pool at the same time).

Good number of players attended my tournament again, always makes me happy. I saw lots of combat in this tournament, but in the end vote deck prevailed and won. Otso can tell more about his tournament if he so wishes.

Deck Name: Baalicious Barons

4VP in the final. Mutes + Arishat + Barons for vote lock and attrition.

Fairly light stealth. Added 2x Organised Resistance and 2x Monkey Wrench
for a bit more flexibility. 6x Bait and Switch likely better than
Organised Resistance however prey jamming on bounces works.

Xeper for anti ally / legionaries. Museum for Recursion.

Thanks to Karl Schaefer for convincing me on the power of Eat the Rich.

Deck Name: Nefertiti & Grosminet

A very exciting final table, where everyone was out to get VPs and I ended up last man standing: far from those finals where everybody waits for the time limit! Congrats to all involved.

This deck is not your usual kind of stealth-bleed. It can be underestimated even when your opponents know it, and can have some devastating turns even with few minions. Also, way more interesting and technical to play than usual S&B.
Heart of the City should go out, you never have the tempo to use it. Should probably become one more Enticement.
Perfectionnist is only useful if you remember to use it...

Seating, and starting order: Jorge (Tupdog/Nephandus) => Olivier (Girlz) => Rahma (Tzimisce toolbox+ allies) => Me (Midcap PRE/AUS) => Daniel (Palla Grande)
After a quite quick VP, i win the game on the clock, whereas my predator let me at 1 pool, 0 blood, and 4 counters on his smiling. That was extremely close
Advice : Add a coven and perhaps 1-2 perfectionist, the blood is spent quickly!

Deck Name: BM
Description:
I had talks about the concept with many awesome players during the EC. Those discussions helped me decide to go up to 90 cards, so that there is enough gas for the end game. To include the Segregations, because they are simply awesome just now. The rest is just math that helps the deck flow. It's all about the cardflow, because eventho you will discard stuff to HL:R, you still want to have the hand that wins the combats. Rego Motum is just better than Sideslip, Soul Burn delays the problem-> Fast Hands solves it. Kasim is too big for the deck

Tournament meta itself was rather varied. Opposing my initial assertion, there was not a single Nu-mite (G6 Banumites) being contested, so.. guess they aint FOTM after all?
Some of the decks I recall seeing were (in no specific order) Oldschool Tzimisce, BH Banu Haqim, multi-rush Matasuntha, Shambling Hordes and plenty of anarchs of different variety were on display.

The second installment of the European Championship Week of Nightmares Helsinki 2022 took place, like every part of the warm-up tournament tour, outside Helsinki, namely in Espoo, the second biggest city in Finland. The venue was a pub in Tapiola that has hosted several similar events before.

There was room for 20 players, and with the great turnout of 18 players, the limit was almost reached. There was also a wide variety of players from veterans all the way to second generation methuselahs. As is typical for Finland, there were many walls and combat decks in the tournament, the winner being something in between.

The final table:

 -- Tommi Hakomaa: Khurshid Legionnaires 0.5
 -- Teemu Sainomaa: Gangrel anarch wall 0.5
 -- Marko Saari: Mambo Jeanne rush 0.5
 -- Esa-Matti Smolander: Giotto & princes vote 0.5
 -- Niko Vanhatalo: Brujah anarch bleed 0.5

-- 1GW5.5 + 0.5VP in final

Once again, the basement of Fantasiapelit was packed with VTES players, as to everyones surprise 20 blood thristy bleeders decided to join us, instead of going to Ilosaarirock music festival!

This time the games were extremely cautious, with a lot of very resilient and blocky decks, and scary combat. Out of the 12 games, only 7 game wins were scored, with no game wins on the first round of the tournament!

After the dust settled, the winner was clear. The feared Toni Karjalainen with his strong Banu Haqim deck came back from his long hiatus to teach us mortals how the game is played.

Thank you to every one who attended. This must have been one of the most memorable and fun tournaments I have organized!

Finals Seating:
Toni Karjalainen (Banu Haqim) --> Antti Penttilä (Khursid Block & Legionnaires) ---> Noora Hirvonen (Nana Buruku Animalism) --> Pasi Karjalainen (Gangrel Wall) --> Aapo Järvelin (Anneke Wall)

Description: Based on Bram Van Stappen Nacional de España 2021 deck. The main change was in the crypt to prioritize the superior OBF and some of the library to adapt it to the Chilean game.

Possible changes:
1. Creepshow was never necessary though maybe it was just luck.
2. It would be nice to make room for one more Reckless.
3. Trade Athena for one more copy of Arishat
4. Cryptic Rider gave me a table but it's a matter of taste
5. Entrancement was never played, despite having it, always prioritize policies, therefore it could come out.
6. My original idea was to play 9 Ashur, but it's not critical either.

Thanks to Bram for creating and sharing his deck, Backwinder & VTES Conce for the testing, analysis and good vibes, Posco Work for the policy analysis, and especially Faroock!

Bram Van Stappen
Organizer: Emiliano Imeroni
https://www.vekn.net/event-calendar/event/10175

A quick overview

33 bloodthirsty Methuselahs assembled to compete in the largest Belgian National Championship ever (the closest being the 2010 (!) NC with 31 players). The Outpost shop gave us the usual great setting... although with somewhat more crammed tables due to the new floor layout.

We had players from France, Netherlands and Germany, with attending nationalities including Spanish and Australian (!). But the real change with respect to previous edition was a relatively unprecedented 15-strong Belgian attendance, which is a proof of the renaissance of the game in the plat pays.

You could basically see all decks you could expect to see, plus some fun surprises (Karsh! Dual Forms!)... and at the end of the preliminary rounds the five finalists were exactly the ones bookmakers predicted.

The finals' seating was as follows:
Bram (Massassi guns&bounce) -> Serge (Al-Muntathir Legionnaires) -> Vincent (Giotto&IC) -> Marius (Nephandus) -> Axel (Anarch Gangrel toolbox).

The final was a highly technical, tactical (and talkative) affair, very tense for those involved, quite boring for those watching. Bram did not find Massassi in the crypt but his Bakr immediately torpored Serge's Al-Muntathir to slow the Summon History Legionnaire engine down. After this, a long and relatively inane conversation on the present and future paths for the game (and possible deals) took place. Vincent, despite four Giottos in his starting crypt, could build up quite comfortably, and finally ousted Marius - whose Liquidations and Ashurs decided to stay well put in the deck - with votes. Then, Axel started pressing Serge to "overextend" in an attempt to stop Vincent, and this finally allowed Bram to oust Serge with few minutes left on the clock and claim the Championship.

Result: Bram 1.5 VP (winner as first seed), Vincent 1.5 VP, Axel 0.5 VP

Many congratulations to the one and only Belgian Champion, Bram!!! And my eternal gratitude to all the players for making it such a great event!

Sunny day at the venue, Hyvikää Villatehdas, opened up with a nice surprise of 25 participants and even some friends from Sweden and Belgium. Games were tight and bloody, but the atmosphere was fantastic.

Big thanks to everyone who participated and also to Hypecon staff for hosting us and being very helpful with everything!

Finals Seating:
Magnus Söder (Ravnos Week of Nightmares) --> Tommi Hakomaa (Jost/Rebekka) --> Aapo Järvelin (The Capuchin Wall) --> Bram Van Stappen (Matasuntha & Company Wall) --> Noora Hirvonen (Girls will find Inner Circles)

Deck Name: Girls will find... Inner Circles
Description:
Mostly after Jorge Delgado's EC2019 Day 1 winning deck - added Archon Investigation, some differentiating stealth, swapped Lucian to Mistress Fanchon, and totally forgot to put in Information Highway (which would have been very nice).

Deck Name: ABC-EL Daughters: A Chorus of Legionnaires
AKA: Pentex Is Still Good
Description: Shattering Crescendo + Emerald Legionnaire

This deck mainly does three things:
1. Get Legionnaires, 2. Shattering Crescendo, 3. Bounce bleeds.
It includes obfuscate stealth, a sturdy bounce package, a couple flavorful masters and a solid crypt of vamps with some very useful special abilities, all of which were utilized to good effect during this tournament.

Thanks to Darby Keeney and Karl Schaefer for tweak suggestions that made a meaningful difference.

Agent of Power was a game winner in my first round; being able to pull off one last Shattering Crescendo with Colette came in very handy. Pentex Subversion sealed the deal in the finals, once I was heads-up with Kelly's Lazverinus block deck.

These were the decks of the finalists:
* Kelly Schultz: Lazverinus blocker
* Mariya Hyryk: Kiasyd bleeder
* Bill Troxel: Legionnaire trash fire
* Norm Brown: Gangrel barons
* Adam Hulse: Toreador Daring the Dawn bleeder

-- 1GW6 + 3 VP in final

Description: Bruise bleed based around V5 Brujah Barons, New Carthage and Anarch bleed cards. It carries light multi-action, a touch of stealth and just enough bounce that it doesn't have to look left immediately. The titles influence others' political actions, even if I'm not using them myself.

In the final, I roasted my prey's opening (famous) Malgorzata even though she dropped a Blood of Acid in the first combat.  It was ENTIRELY worth losing a 3-cap who had already done the Illegalism/unlock/Manifesto trick.  I ate Mal a turn or two later, just to be sure she didn't make beads.

The original build used more superior Presence minions but no Theo and some Enchant Kindred. I didn't like the pace at which it played and adjusted for more immediate offense.  I finally broke down and added Theo right before Origins - he sheds red cards and I get a second +1 strength minion.
Every one of those revisions made the deck better and this iteration feels extremely solid.

Library (90 cards)

2x Blood Doll
1x Carfax Abbey
1x Club Illusion -- dangerous play in today's meta
2x Dreams of the Sphinx
1x Fame
1x Garibaldi-Meucci Museum -- this card just keeps getting better.
1x Giant's Blood
2x New Carthage -- this version could probably drop to 1 copy
1x Powerbase: Los Angeles -- more unlocked Barons at the end of my turn.
5x Villein -- this could be 6 copies and the deck wouldn't suffer.
1x Warzone Hunting Ground

Action (21)
1x Fee Stake: New York -- should probably change to LA just for thematic reasons
9x Illegalism -- combat minions that bleed, then unlock and fight are pretty good.
10x Line Brawl -- see above. The occasional pool steal can screw up other players' math.
1x Open War -- almost overkill with Theo and Line Brawls.

Equipment (2)
2x Anarch Manifesto, An -- slotted during last revision, these things are gold in the mid game (get them AFTER you unlock from Illegialism, don't defer bleed actions to get it)

Action Modifier (8)
6x Power of One -- I didn't bother with the unlimited [pot] line with a Monkey Wrench, it's better to just have these for stealth on bleeds.
2x Zephyr -- don't laugh...even at inferior it is an unlocked bouncer (or a multirushing Theo at superior).

Reaction (5)
5x Bait and Switch -- this card is shaking up the meta around here.

Combat (36)
2x Bollix -- kind of iffy, but I like having extra maneuvers and presses hanging around.
2x Disarm -- never played on a minion I wasn't dunking anyway, this might be overkill.
3x Diversion -- only OK in this deck since Dust Up often eats the additional strike.
10x Dust Up -- underrated as a dual use combat tool.
4x Immortal Grapple -- because Earth Meld decks need to be killed with fire.
2x Pulled Fangs -- sometimes minions just need to stay down
5x Target Vitals -- slotted in yet another [pot] deck....this card is poorly designed.
4x Taste of Vitae
4x Thrown Gate -- a token nod to "screw your Sniper Rifle" with backup defensive value

-- 1GW4 + 3VP in final

Deck Name: The Hungarian Coyote
Created by: John Eno and Karl Schaefer
Description: Codex bleed using Claiming the Body to lock potential blockers.

The deck name is unchanged from John's original, which included a Hungry Coyote.  This latest version removed it on feedback from Darby, but the name remains because it's too clever.

Round one was a game win earned in overtime, declaring a bleed just before the timer hit.  An extra VP in round two put me in as second seed.

John Tzimisce toolbox ->
Bill Nocturns 2 VP ->
Me 3 VP ->
Mark G6 Brujah ->
Jesse Cockblock

I got New Blood in my opener (every time today in fact, very lucky).  There was no real
intercept around me so I was able to get a lot of early actions to succeed.  So, Blood
Buff plus Unwholesome Bond and Hive Mind widened my playspace quickly.

Mark calls a KRC with Aline and brings out a second vampire, leaving both unlocked to
block.  Cock Robin has an unfortunate encounter with Tzimisce agg-poke and ends up in
torpor.  Mark is willing to let the Tzimisce live if they diablerize.  There's a Warsaw
Station in play, but I don't say anything and neither does anyone else.  Cock Robin dies.

I start my turn with 4 vampires and 3 pieces of +1 bleed equipment.  Mark is at 8 pool, so
I pass the Troublemaker to lock both vampires, drop the Heidelburg Castle, and get to the
business of ousting.  My turn ends with a fifth Blood Brother in play and a VP in hand.

Jesse brings up Nikolaus Vermeulen, putting his pool at 10.  I am taking some Shadow Twin
damage from Bill, but nothing that is too irksome.  I oust Jesse on my next turn locking
Nikolaus with Claiming the Body, stealthing by his only block attempt afterwards and
dropping a huge Walk of Caine.

Now I have intercept around me in terms of the Tzimisce and an Under Siege by Bill.  The
following turn, I work through all of the Under Siege counters and around some Tzimisce
blocks.  I have one vampire in torpor and am very low on blood as Agi didn't make an
appearance in the final.  Bill hits me hard with Dominate bleed (never risking the
Archons, however) and I estimate that I have one turn left.

John blocks my attempt to rescue Dorka.  I burn Gabi with Breath of the Dragon in the
process of sending his Ludmijla to torpor.  That was the only standing intercept on the
table, which left me free to perform all of my remaining actions.  I get the rescue off,
equip a Codex and using unlock tricks have four Blood Brothers ready to bleed and my prey
is at 11 pool.  I send in a bleed of 2, boosting it to three.  The first Codex bleed is
bounced.  I use the Castle to send another, which hits.  Walk of Caine with the last
vampire to finish it out.

I concede my VP to Bill because I've already got the win.

-- 2GW6 + 4VP in final

Deck Name: Shilmulo Death Star
Description: A Ravnos Death Star deck. A reworking of my other Death Star designs.  Based on Matt Morgan's original design.

Brad mid-cap DEM 1 VP ->
Jesse died too fast for me to recall ->
Me 4 VP ->
Guy Platinum bleed ->
Darby Imbued Chainsaw

Brad came out of the gate firing on all cylinders.  He didn't have a bleed for less than 4
against his first prey.

I was struggling to do anything useful with my opening hand, which contained a bunch of
stealth and Shilmulo Tarot.  I brought up Paul Forrest first and equipped the Tarot.
These extra draws came in very handy as I wasn't getting much card cycling other than my
discard.

Guy was also starting very fast.  Each Platinum bleed hit and by the time Guy was ousted
there were 8 or 9 corruption counters on Darby's Imbued.  Darby was under immediate and
constant pressure.

I did manage to draw into my Con Boons in a timely fashion and was keeping my pool total
high in anticipation of Brad's big bleeds.  Once he was my predator, I decided to No-Block
every action.  His first turn as my predator was still very damaging, but he only had two
vampires at that point.  I was running with Paul, Chavi, Irena, and a baby.  Guy takes
some bleeds of one, but reduces all the bleeds of two.

On my next turn, I'm low on pool and I play a master card to draw the Revolutionary
Council from my Tarot, attempting to oust Guy with votes, since his bleed reduction was
too consistent.  The vote gets DI2'd, so I have to bleed instead.  Guy has 6 pool and Paul
Forrest plus the hand and Tarot stealth make short work of him as he was out of bleed
reduction.  Darby was at three pool and I had saved Chavi for last, setting up many
different stealth cards in hand to combine with her special.  I go for the bleed of three
and manage to hit 4 stealth, just enough to make it land.

Twelve pool to the better, but it's Brad's turn and he removes almost all of those gains.
I make a baby and call Exclusion Principle.  Fire off a few bleeds all boosted by Paul
Forrest who can get The Coven blood every turn during the heads-up.  Brad's pool total is
still very high because Darby was unable to make any forward progress.  Another round of
bleeds.  I Archon the plus-bleeder and Brad's remaining vampires do very little.  I recur
Eat the Rich because Gem Ghastly is a Primogen, then proceed to vote and bleed Brad off
the table.

This deck originally had Rom Gypsy, which was removed.  I never bothered to put City Star
Taxi back in, but an additional stealth permanent might prove useful in some metas.

Deck Name: Psalm 69
Description: Ministry multi-act bleed vote.

This deck is light on transient stealth and will need to be adjusted for you meta.  It does have three permanent stealth options, which helps mitigate the light stealth.

Thanks to Darby for critical deck advice that helped with the finals victory.

Me 2 VP ->
Bill Tupdog vote and Legionnaires 1 VP ->
Mark Banu Haqim toolbox ->
Ben Peal Ministry starter ->
Kelly Beefcake block 2 VP

I was not very pleased with any spot on the table, but having faced Kelly in round one,
hoped that I could gain 3 VPs or 2 VPs in a split and win via seeding.  I managed to do
the latter.

Ben and I discussed vampires because we were both playing Ministry.  We had two
duplicates, so split them.  I got the weaker one, but wasn't going to argue as he didn't
have any of the titled Ministers in his uncontrolled region.

Bill proceeds to vote and bleed his prey off the table.  First by having the only votes on
the table and then via Dia + Cryptic Rider.

Bill had 10 pool when I started my next turn and he was threatening me with Mark of the
Damned if I bled him.  That would have ousted me, but I had no such intention on holding
off.  I asked Kelly about calling a Reckless Agitation and he wasn't down for it, so I
Pentexed his Matthias and proceeded to go about my business.  I ousted Bill that turn and
with Matthias, who had the Bowl, in Pentex, Ben made hay with his pool.

I contested Marcel with Ben and proceeded to whittle his pool down.  Three times Kelly
saved Ben with Eagle's Sight, resulting in two torporized vampires.

I started my last turn with 4 pool, Ben at 2 and Kelly at 5.  I stopped contesting Marcel.
Paid 1 pool to recur Memory Rift via Garibaldi and paid two pool to put Anarch Railroad in
play, leaving myself at 1 pool with one vampire with 1 blood.

I proceeded to call Ancilla Empowerment with the Memory Rift instead of bleeding.  Ben had
used several Party of out Bounds to reduce bleeds.  Since both Platinum Protocol and a
vote both start at one stealth, I decided I had better odds passing a vote than bleeding
as Ben would need two Parties to stop me.  Kelly would be able to use Eagle's Sight for
intercept instead of at superior, so that was a negative.  Kelly attempted to block, but
failed.  I burned 2 of my 3 Propaganda of the Deed to pass the vote and ousting both Ben
and myself in the process.

Achievement Unlocked: Win a Final by Self-Ousting.

Deck Name: Take cover Mr Emerald
Description :
The list is quite classic I think, there are few things to comment on. I planned to get more assaulted on my first Emerald, hence the DIs, the light cept mod and the prevent for my vampires to survive (I was expecting a very combat meta). I preferred rollings and combat ends because I was expecting a very gun/marduk meta. The deck had a grinder module like the one made by Mounisch, but I preferred to remove it to increase stealth, prevent and cept. Overall, I had good outings on all my games, especially on placements that put me away from boring stuff (except table one). In the final I think I place myself at best, far from the gangrel who cept / fight and in front of the AAA who pool like a savage. In my starting hand I have unmasking + giant blood, which counterbalances the rest (aura readings, 2 targets, a spiritual intervention and a rolling).

Thank you again very much for the weekend, the top organization and the kindness of the players. I had a really good first IRL tournament, and I can't wait to do it again soon (but after a break anyway :p)

Deck Name: The Red Scare
Description: Breed-n-bleed Banu Haqim deck focusing on (mostly) disciplineless combat and Haqim's Law: Retribution.

I misplayed in round one and lost my VP.  I managed a sweep at a four-player table in round two to end up third seed in the final.

Finals seating:
John, Salubri bleed ->
Mark, Legionnaires 2 VP ->
me 3 VP ->
Logan Anarch unnamed ->
Kurt, G1 Gangrel Primogen combat wall

I make my first Embrace and Mark decided to bloc the hunt.  Weighted Walking Stick + Lucky Blow + Target Vitals left me with no Stick and Mark with a seriously injured Erebus.  He was much more selective in blocking after that.

Kurt was top seed and assumed that Wynn + Dog Pack would wreck the unnamed and he would be
in a good position.  No Wynn and he never managed to hurt the unnamed.  The unnamed was
making good progress and Suddened my first Haqim's Law: Retribution.  Leaving me focused
on controlling my predator.  I was up to 4 vampires and three Embraces.  I locked Logan's
two unlocked vampires with Anarch Troublemaker and drop my first Haqim's Law: Retribution.
I fire off 3 bleed of 2 dropping Logan to two pool.  I pause to call a Con Boon and then
finish the oust, gaining 13 total pool.  Mark wipes out most of those gains on his next
turn.  Kurt was at 3 pool at the start of my next turn.  I drop my second Haqim's Law
Retribution, get Khabar: Glory, stealthing by Basila.  It takes all seven vampires to get
those last three pool.  In the process one of my vampires was burned, two were sent to
torpor, and two were left empty.  Again Mark burns through my 10 pool that I gained.  I
use the Heart to get a Con Boon and am holding a Priority Contract.  After two hunts, I
use the Contract on an Embrace against John's empty vampire.  I gain 3 pool and prevent
his hands in the process.  I call the Con Boon managing to stealth by Erebus and gain 6
pool there.  Mark manages to get my pool down to four, but I get one more turn.  John has
no unlocked vampires and 7 pool.  I am holding 7 combat cards in my hand and only need to
draw one more to be able to bleed for 3 with each vampire.  My first action is reduce by 3
and my second action reduced by 2, leaving my prey at 6 pool.  My last two bleeds reduce
that to zero.

Deck Name: Anson Gunz post-Parity Shift nerf
Comments: Changed slightly the deck after 2019. Upgraded to 12 Ashurs to try and dispute the Ashur race to Girls decks mainly. Switched the 2 Parity Shifts by 2 Anathema. Also removed Pentex Subversion for obvious reasons (I was using it maybe for the "can't act" part against vampires with Secure Haven or vampires I could not deal with).

My thoughts is that regarding the amounts of barons in tables, it is impossible to reasonably play votes with this decks. So all the votes are going out, the only x-table capacity of this deck remaining the rushes. I will add some Conditionings most likely since the ousting power of this deck is extremely limited. I will also downgrade again to 9x Ashurs since 12x seems a little bit overkill after testing. Also adding Secure Haven for contest.

Deck Name: Dumpster Fire of Pure Hate
Description:

I have virtually constructed an Emerald Legionnaire (EL) deck for every clan, plus Imbued; this is the Imbued deck.
I made a few last-minute tweaks before entering the AC, one of which was Nightmares upon Nightmares -
that was a real brain-fart and it does not belong in this deck.

The general idea here is to stay alive with Liquidations and defend with Imbued
until you can amass an army of ELs to bleed with.
If I am concerned about my Harbinger getting rushed before recruiting a Legionnaire,
I will bring out Imbued first (or simultaneously if multirush is imminent) to block for her.
Then I have to keep the EL alive and unstolen until his special can pull more out from my ash heap;
after that, the deck can start to move.

As a hater of the Imbued, I see this deck as representing many of the worst aspects of the game,
hence the title. Other unlikeable facets include Veil of Darkness (hardest card-text in the game to abide by),
Liquidation, Unmasking, and of course, Emerald Legionnaire.
If the mechanics of Ashur Tablet weren't antithetical to the workings of this deck,
I would have searched for a way to include them as well. Lupine Assault was in my pre-tweaked version,
just for the extra table hate.
If you try playing this, you might switch out Nightmares upon Nightmares for Lupine, or maybe for a third Veil.

Deck Name: The Might of Ur-Shulgi, The Shepherd
Description:
Basically this is a toolbox bleed with stealth deck focused on the power of Ur-Shulgi. Using Murmur (redirect or bleed) with Blood Awakening (block fails or intercept) and some shenanigans like Spying Mission (stealth, anti redirections or extra bleed with the 5 caps), I managed to honor our mighty Assamite clan with a glorious victory crushing the filthy Ventrue on a very tight finals (with some off the books helps from the Ministry). Holding Khabar: Glory for the right time for that extra 4 pool is crucial. Also Black Sunrise or Mylan with Enkil Cog is really interesting.

After the tourrnament, I noticed using Monastery Of Shadows was a mistake, it should be exchanged with another Dreams. Rutor's Hand underperformed and should get out so you can use an Aranthebes or an extra govern. The Coven could be used instead of Perfectionist.

Antti Penttilä
https://www.vekn.net/event-calendar/event/10108

The love affairs resumed after a lengthy break. The meta was even more combat-oriented than usual: I counted only two decks without significant combat capabilities, one of them being mine. All initial matches resulted in GWs, three out of five being sweeps and only one timing out. The final, however, turned out quite stagnant, and it's no surprise that the strongest wall won.

 -- Tero Aalto (Malgorzata) 0,5
 -- Karri Malm (Baba Yaga + Serenna the White) 0,5
 -- Antti Penttilä (Matasuntha wall) 1,5
 -- Lasse Pöyry (Blood Brothers Corrupt Constructtions) 0
 -- Jani Malmi (Tariq Amaranth rush) 0,5

Antti's notes:
I took the tournament as an opportunity to meet all the wonderful methuselahs of greter Hellsinki region after the last lockdown. I had a great time.

This was my first time playing Matasuntha, I've always liked her.
But I have this weird obsession of not playing decks that I deem too powerful in smaller events.
Also this was an opportunity to play the new Gangrel-cards that are just awesome, like really good.
The amount of untaps in this deck is just nuts.
At first I had cool stuff like Gather in the deck, but I decided to cut them all away and just focus on the basics of the game, bleeding/combat/blocking. That was the right call to make, the deck worked really good.
The reasoning behind this was to not open myself to combats that I can't choose myself.
Also don't leave your haven without 2 Direct Interventions, you're going to need them.

The Finals: 5th seed is kinda ok place to start, you have nothing to lose and everything to gain, just go out and take a breath while the others make "the dance". To my surprise Lasse who played Corrupt Constructs was sitting in front of me, which was perfect. He had ousted me in the preliminaries quite effectively, there's not enough prevent in my deck to handle 6-8strenght minions rushing you on unfortunate times. Also my deck has more than enough intercept to decide what you want to let his deck play...
Jani and his Tariq went nuts in the early game and really caused Tero and his Malgo some trouble. Quite fast the table evolved in to a state where Karri is gearing up, Jani is being a monster, Lasse gets blocked if he tries to build, Tero is Malgoing and surviving and I'm just kinda bleeding and blocking Lasses key actions. Lasse rushed Tariq with his Ivory Bow wielding Dorka, torporising Tariq and dipping him with the votes of Tero. This took the momentum out of the game, but Jani had already slowed Tero down considerably and him playing a slow deck it made it hard for Tero to get back in the game, all the while I was putting more and more aggression to Lasse.
I managed to avoid combats with Karri's Baba Yaga or I had an Earth Meld in hand and he didn't have Telepathing Tracking etc. when it happened.
Like Tero said the finals was kinda stagnant after these key-moments.
Which is obviously good for a wall deck like mine.
I didn't even try to play for the second VP, I just wanted Jani to go forth and cause havoc, but he pretty much ended up digging for a new un-advanced Tariq.

Description: THA powerbleed deck with 10 Dreams of the Sphinx for crypt acceleration and card selection.

Drew a pretty smallish crypt in the finals and got Brook burned early by Archon Investigation.

-- GW4 (4th seed) + 1.5 in final

The first game was great (I managed to save my little prey by banishing on a regular pace the Giovanni of my prey who was playing Shambling Horde but drew none) and I scored the GW. I screwed up in the second game and got 0 where a GW was easy to gain (I drew the Protean skill card after a Villein and played it on Hardestadt, but forgot to update my plan with that information, leading to a sub-optimal play that brought Hardestadt to torpor instead of killing my prey and Banishing my new prey).
In the third game (4 players table), my prey and ally contested Antonio D'Erlette, leaving me with an aggressive Gangrel deck with no predator as a predator, I died).

Final round: Axel (Aggressive Gangrel anarch) > JC (Anson/Rake/PRE) > Marius (AAA) > Christophe (Shambling Horde)

Things started looking ugly as JC and Marius began contesting each other. Christophe had a very good start and soon got 2 Shambling Hordes then 4 Shambling Hordes. There were a lot of deal breaking (starting with the 8th minute when JC offered a Giant's Blood on Rudolfo in exchange of a rush on Marius -- the Shambling was recruited with the promise not to rush). Marius had a lot of pressure of JC (Misdirection on his other vampire, bleed for 6 by Victoria Ash) and was soon at 2 pool.
Meanwhile, Axel had already 4 vampires including 1 baron and 4 locations (Anarch Free Press, Anarch Railroad, Channel 10, then Club Illusion). My hand was jammed badly (plenty of Voter Captivation, and my only vote was Anarchist Uprising who would help everyone but me as it would give Axel more VPs, and I'll never draw any Banishment) and Adana being rushed 4 times by Shambling Horde depleted my hand from combat ends, including Form of Mist, which would have been great to go forward without risk, as Axel's deck had plenty of wakes and intercept, and some Donnybrooks and Form of the Bear.
JC eventually dies and Marius is left with 2 pool, and I convince Christophe to start rushing Axel even though Axel has a 3-turns-no-bleed deal with Marius. This leaves me some time to bring out Hardestadt who has stronger arguments against Shambling Hordes, should they come, but still have a crappy hand. I manage at some point to get a bleed for 3 through with Adana and play Enkil Cog, but Hardestadt stays up, ready to deflect. Christophe still bleeds me for 1 though with 3 of his 4 vampires and I'm soon at 3 pool. Marius and I try to set to some plan in motion since we're both the underdogs. The idea is that he calls Ancilla to remove 8 out of 10 pool of Christophe, then kill him and he would let me kill Axel. But Christophe says he has a delaying tactics, which I believe, but it would only delay the thing for one turn.
However, Marius starts with a Neonate Breach, choosing only his prey as Axel says he would block if he were chosen. I vote down the Neonate Breach as it wasn't what we had agreed (btw, Marius had also a deal involving rescuing Axel's prince, which would have perhaps helped passing the vote). Order is important because
a) if Christophe delays the Neonate, he takes 8 pool from the Anarchist, doesn't die, which leaves two easy VPs to Axel
b) if Christophe doesn't delay the Neonate, and delays the Anarchist, it only weakens Christophe and doesn't help me killing my prey. And Christophe would probably have to go backwards, helping Axel to get his second VP and maybe more
c) if Marius had played the Anarchist first, Christophe would have delayed it and we would have kept the status quo until the next turn to try again, preventing Axel from getting easy VPs
Anyway, Marius gets crazy and does nothing else more. I try bleeding Axel with Enkil Cog but it doesn't work the first time, while Christophe tries to regain some blood to get more Shambling Hordes, as he misplayed and played one without having any minion to remove in his ash heap. I have drawn a Reins of Power, but Axel is at 10 pool so I'm trying to bleed him to get put him at reach. I finally manage to bleed Axel for 4 on the following turn but it's complicated as it has plenty of permacept and costs me a lot of resources. Finally, there's 5 minutes left and Axel is down to 5 pool. My plan is to call Reins of Power and, if the Reins is blocked, to call Anarchist as a second chance. Adana plays the Reins of Power as the first action (so that Channel 10 is not effective) but gets blocked despite the Monastery of Shadows I played earlier and a Form of Mist. But I draw a Horrific Countenance as the replacement which makes me laugh. Hopefully, Adana who has 1 blood gets only punched for 1 which leaves me with my 8 votes. I then call Anarchist (Axel is now at 5 pool), Axel tries to block, I add 1 stealth, he adds intercept, and I play Horrific Countenance to make the action unblockable (hopefully Hardestadt had still 6 blood). I play Scalpel Tongue to shut down Anneke's votes, and Christophe chooses not to delay the vote (either way, it changes nothing for Christophe). The game ends 1 or 2 minutes later.

Name: Royal with Cheese
Description: A new iteration of my Royal with Cheese deck (see http://www.vekn.fr/decks/twd.htm#2018kotmpf)  The deck relies on very versatile cards and is able to adapt to many situations.
I changed the crypt to include Lodin in order to play some Deflection, but will probably diversify the crypt in the future to include back smaller vampires (André the Manipulator should make his comeback).

Deck Name: Daylily
Description: This deck is based on a similar deck I saw Randall Rudstam play back in 2011. It's pretty straightforward with what it does. Get out 2-3 PRO ANI vamps and abuse the combo of Deep Song and Earth Meld to tap down all of your preys vamps and launch massive bleeds with codex and heidelburg. Selectively block actions you don't like and Earth Meld out of those combats.

The final of this tournament was pretty interesting as we had 5 Protean decks including three Gangrel anti decks at the table. Seating was

John Mathys--->Ministry stealth bleed
Kurt Kopp--->Gangrel ANI wall
Karl Schaefer--->Enkidu Anarch multi rush
Me--->ANI PRO shenanigans
Jeremy Thompson--->Gangrel Anti with Dominate

The game started fast as almost right away Jeremy had John down to less than 8 or so pool. Shortly thereafter Kurt got blocked by Enkidu and his Gangrel with a murder of crows, the Rack, Vessel, Blood Doll and a Raven Spy got burnt by an additional hands for 3 agg from enki. This put both Kurt and John in a tough spot maybe thirty minutes into the game. Jeremy made a miscalculation and dropped very low on pool, within ousting range if I drew a card. I didn't draw it unfortunately but Jeremy was at 1 pool as John was able to stick around for another turn, thus ensuring a chance at getting both of them. Next time around Karl rushed a famous Celeste four times in one turn and it was not until the last combat he was able to dunk Doyle so he couldn't benefit from the Fame dunk. Due to this I was able to get Jeremy before he could get through John who was down to 2 pool. I had the oust of John in my hand but decided not to get him because if he got Kurt(who was down to 3 pool while tapped out) then all I had to do was get John and I win. So John gets Kurt quite quick and Karl only had one rush for one of my minions which I was able to Earth Meld out of. I had to do a little bit of drawing but due to a club illusion, played by John, I was able to bleed for two unblockable due to a horrific countenance and then just conceded my VP to Karl because it didn't matter much beyond that. A pretty quick game clocking in at just over an hour but a really fun one.

As far as the deck goes I considered trimming it down, and it appears the original version of it was only 75ish cards, but our local meta is so combat heavy, having all of the end combat is almost essential to make it flow correctly. In the final round I played 14 Earth Meld and still had gotten a combat that didn't go the way I was hoping earlier. The misdirection is about the only card I know I would take out as I ended up discarding it multiple times throughout the tournament. One of the daring the dawn could come out too, but I'm not sure what either of them would be better off being,

Also too much Janey is way worse than not enough as although her text is such a deterrent you end up generally using it once or twice a game, so upping the number of her in the deck would be an error, but it certainly has an effect on the table when she comes out.

A big thank you to Mark and the Comic Shop Plus for hosting as always.

-- 1GW4.5 + 3VP in final

Second tournament in a row that I deposit my win in the final table position pick.

I qualified first for the final, followed by Humberto, Gabriel, Rodrigo and Tárcio.

Because I was the last to choose the position at the table, I saw an advantage in attacking Humberto's MONODEM deck, and for playing with a FULLRUSH deck, I was being preyed on by Tárcio with his TZI BLOCK. And that choice made all the difference.

Final Table:

Rodrigo Roselli (Sebastien Goulet Satyrs/Spirals) ->
(2vp) Tárcio Martins (Tzimisce G4/5 Block) ->
(3vp/Gw) Tiago Ramos (Mambo Jeanne Multirush) ->
Humberto Aguiar (Malk Ks Monodem) ->

Deck Name: Brujah Barons Steal the Truth
Description:
Created this deck one hour before the start of the tournament. Wanted to play something new,
and did not care much about winning chances being extremely tired and the tournament organisor.
I like to adopt decks or deck concepts, and am a big fan of the TWDA and tools like the VDB.
My deck's inspiration is "Stolen Truth" by Jay Kristoff, thus the name.
The Brujah version became possible with the release of the new 5th Edition decks.

Finals seating: Nikica (Malgorzata + Lord Tremere Toolbox) => Jay (Hesha Ruhadze [G6] Bleed) =>
me (Brujah Undue Influence) => Sebastian (Anson + Masika Toolbox) => Kevin (Barons Toolbox)

Deck Name: Shambling into the Void
Description: I was hoping to play the new Ministry today, but with so many others planning to do
the same, I played this instead.

This deck is first and foremost a Shambling Horde deck, getting a 4-life Horde for 1 blood after
Angelique's special and a Perfectionist is rather great. The Legionnaires and AUS weenies help
provide mass for horde bleeding. A solid defense with The Unmasking and bounce helps keeps you in
the game even at low pool. The worst decks for you are voters that are cross-table or that have a
lot of stealth that can routinely get by your intercept. There were no such decks for me today.

I had a lucky two opening rounds. I was able to sit mostly unmolested and slowly build as my
predators were under threat. This enabled me to get two sweeps and enter the finals in first place.

Finals seating:
Kurt Kopp, new Anarch Gangrel wall: 0VP ->
Me: 3VP ->
Brad Cashdollar, Platnum Protocol bleed: 0VP ->
John Mathys, V5 Malks: 2VP ->
Mark Loughmn, Banu Haqim vote/combat: 0VP

I decided to sit as far away from the bleed cannons as possible. They were stacked, so Brad was
going to help John with bounced bleeds.

My opening hand was 3 Legionnaires and my opening crypt had no Angelique. I did have an Information
Highway, so managed America and Hecate on turns one and two. I had The Unmaksing in play even
before I recruited my first Legionnaire. This was useful as I was able to prevent Double Deuce from
entering play. It cost me a Legionnaire, but Target Vitals left the vamp empty, making it a good
target for Mark's Judgment: Camarilla Segregation on the following turn. I was able to stealth a
second Legionnaire into play.

Mark managed two actions, playing the aforementioned Judgment and calling Anathema on one of John's
Malks. Before Mark was ousted, Kurt, seeing his future, burned John's hunting ground with
Rewilding.

After Mark was ousted, John had 4 vampires in play and the Anathema was at 4 blood. I offered to
rush that vampire with my lone Horde to prevent Kurt from doing so. Losing a vampire was a bad
deal, but having his prey gain 6 pool for it would have been worse. In the end John relented. I was
6 pool to the better and John had yet another person hampering his game. After throwing in a few
bleeds for 1, Brad takes his turn.

Brad fires off bleeds of 7, 5, and 4. All of them are bounced. Kurt manages to survive and John is
able to land his bleeds. Kurt risks another vampire, really he had so few options at this point.

I push hard on Brad, failing to oust. Most of my 1 bleeds are bounced and my Horde rush was stymied
by Earth Meld. Brad tried to get through John. There is more bounce. Kurt has to start torporizing
Brad's vampire just to draw cards, hoping for more wake. Kurt is ousted by John. I get Brad down to
2 pool. He has one vampire left. I'm now John's prey. I bounce a bleed of 5 at 2 stealth to Brad to
gain my first VP. John sends two more vampires while I'm locked. I use Funeral Wake to bring up two
Hordes and try to block both bleeds. I catch the second one, sending the vampire to torpor. At the
start of my turn, John has two remaining ready vampires with one blood each. After two Horde
rushes, he has no ready vampires. With 6 ready bleeders and John at 10 pool, he concedes.

-- 2GW8 + 4VP in final

A quick overview

17 players assembled to fight in the first Belgian event since the start of the pandemic, quite a respectable turnout given the circumstances! The overall metagame seemed to favour focused/aggressive decks, with somewhat fewer walls and combat than is common at these latitudes. After three hard-fought rounds, Stéphane D thought he could not be in the finals with 1GW3 and left before all games finished... thus relinquishing his finalist spot to Bart.

The final's seating was as follows:
Rahma (Spell of Life) -> Nicolas (Kyasiphandus) -> Vincent (Shattering Crescendo) -> Bart (Lutz) -> Emiliano (new royalty).

The final was a quick affair, over in about 1 hour. Emiliano started strong voting against Rahma, reducing the time available for the Spells of Life to fire, while Nicolas bled Vincent constantly, forcing the latter to look mostly backwards. Bart was a bit unlucky with Zillahs and took some time to bring out Lutz. Then there was a "sliding doors" turn where all parallel universes seemed to collide: Rahma's well-played Delaying Tactics left Emiliano at three pool and open to Bart, then Rahma also Suddened Nicolas' third Ashur, ruining his chances to oust Vincent. In turn, Vincent found no block or bounce on his way to oust Bart with two Legal Manipulations. This allowed Emiliano to oust Rahma and prepare the endgame via his own third Ashur. Finally, after an Ancilla Empowerment+Neonate Breach combo ousted Nicolas and left Vincent at 3 pool, it did not take long for the struggle to conclude.

Result: Emiliano 4 VP, Vincent 1 VP

A big big thank you to all participants for a very fun day of bleeding (and politicking) and... thanks also for letting me win, for once!

Deck Name: Infernal Princes of Anarchy
Played by: Emiliano Imeroni
Description:
All credit to the deck's creator, grandmaster Bram Van Stappen! Thank you!
A new generation of the classic "Royalty" deck based on the new cheap Fifth Edition Princes, with the "Reckless" support of Anarch Barons and of the invaluable Lutz-cancelling star Arishat.
Instructions for use: steal deck from Bram the day before the event, then quickly unleash your political might on everyone while trying to stay (barely) alive.

Now that the vaccinations have been available for a while and most people have got their second shots, we felt like its a perfect time to get some live Vampire tournaments going!
Good amount of players showed up. Games were pretty fast and aggressive overall, with a lot of bleeds and votes and almost no combat.

Finals Seating:
Mari Tiippana (Presence & Obfuscate) --> Aapo Järvelin (Malgorzata + Lernean) --> Lauri Salmi (Giotto Mute + Vote) --> Lasse Pöyry (Aabbt Kindred Hatch the Viper) --> Teemu Pulkkinen (Black Hand Swarm Bleed)

Deck Name: Lernean shoots you twice
Description:
Yeah, there is no Heart of Nizchetus, I don't feel like I need it. Never missed it once during the tournament. I'd rather get something that actually impacts the game and doesn't make me lose time. There is no need to force anything to happen.

Deck Name: Saulot & Capuchin Team
Description: Based on M. Schumacher "Hard Boiled" deck. In my opinion it is very strong toolbox-wall deck. If you are patient you should go forward with 3 minions. At the beginning it is important to bring first Saulot and then Cappuchin. Nine cards on your hand give you big advantage. I will probably change/add sniper rifle and one more delaying tactics or Direct Intervention.

Deck Name: Enkidu CEL/PRO
Description: A deck I hadn't played in a while, with some changes I didn't even remember compared to the version I used to win the French NC in 2012 http://www.vekn.fr/decks/twd.htm#2012fncrf
The deck was originally a multi-rush, but since I reduced the number of alternate rushes, I never managed to perform two rushes in the same turn during the tournament.
I made a few mistakes in the first round that cost me the GW, but the 4-players format (16 players only) greatly helped making GW in the other rounds.
The final round was fairly easy to win once my predator and grand-predator had annihilated each other.

Final seating:
> 1 Serge Cirri (FoS BS with Nefertiti merged)
> 2 Christophe Verdier (Weenie Samedi equip / rush)
> 3 Vincent Ripoll (Enkidu)
> 4 Axel Huet (fat FoS Bleed with Nakhthorheb)

-- 1GW3.5 + 2.5VP in final

Deck Name: It's about time
Description: I squeaked into the final of NAC as the 5 seed and really did not like my seat as Mark’s deck was pretty fast.

The seating was as follows

Mark(Lasombra stealth bleed)—>myself(Protean toreador anti)—>Brad Cashdollar(Animalism Tremere)—>Matt Coombs(anti salubri dagger wall)—>Darby Keeney(Nephandi Swarm)

As the game developed, it became evident very early my path to victory. Mark brought out a small Lasombra and only Computer Hacked me for a bleed of 2 before I had a minion out. That was literally the last forward action he got that game as Darby absolutely obliterated all of Mark’s vampires with a Frontal Assault the next turn. He was left with one ready vampire in which he made Nocturns to block the forthcoming Nephandi swarm. As this was happening, I was able to influence out all four of my vampires and get two Vessels and The Rack on Malabranca as well as an Under Siege into play. This basically means I gain a minimum of 2 pool each turn and the Nephandi will not oust me unless I make a massive mistake.
One massive key swing in this game then occurred. Mark, crippled and down to around 2-3 pool was basically a foregone conclusion. Darby did not have The Unmasking in play at this point and I was holding two Entrancements, so without even needing a single action modifier I stole two of his four Nephandi, which led to many Nephandi-on-Nephandi battles, a.k.a. the worst combats of all time.
Brad was sitting around 7-8 pool at this time, and I drew a Fear of Mekhet which had Gabrielle Di Rhigetti’s name on it. This is a key point in the game because, as I said, this deck can be more about patience than anything. I did not play the Fear of Mekhet on the first turn I had it and lulled Brad into a false sense of security. On Matt’s turn Brad blocked one of the Salubri with a blade and an additional strike on him, and Dr John Dee went down. This left him with Gabrielle with two blood on her and Lord Tremere with three or four blood. I had a Palla Grande in hand as well as three Form of Mist I had been saving up.
So next turn hits and I play the Fear of Mekhet. Gabrielle dies and on the next go around I drop Palla Grande and blow through Brad. This was the first point I genuinely felt confident in winning, barring a timeout as Darby was the higher seed. From there I was able to get Matt after many turns of effort and only one minute and seven seconds left on the clock. Darby conceded and that was the game.

-- 0GW1.5 + 2.5VP in final

Deck Name: Balls of Stihl
Created by: Darby Keeney and John Eno
Description: A dancing Imbued deck featuring Talbot's Chainsaw.

Mental mistakes cost games. In round one, I was blocked transferring equipment to Jennie, but my
mental game state had that action succeed, so when I blocked with a one life Jennie two turns later
the mistake leads to a burned Jennie. It's really hard to run this deck without her. 0 VPs in round
one.

Round two wasn't shaping up to be any better. My prey was playing Lasombra and influenced Carolina
Valez and Lord Leopold Valdemar in that order. Not being able to damage one of them and having to
handle theft with the other was going to be problematic. My predator was playing Carna, but had to
worry about Rachel Brandywine, leaving me some wiggle room. This allowed me to get some early
powers into play. Late game I used Angel of Berlin to put Talbot's Chainsaw on Jennie. She rushed
the famous Lord Leopold, dunking him. After unlocking with Vigilance, I was able to bleed with
Strike/Second Sight to oust. Next turn with time running low, I land the ousting bleed on my new
prey, but Carna decides to Eagle's Sight my ousting bleed. Instead of a game win, I end up with
1.5 VPs.

That's enough to sneak into the finals as 5th seed.
Ian Lee with Lasombra ->
Darby Keeney with Legacy of Pander ->
Alex Romano with Rachel Brandywine Madness Network ->
me ->
Mark Loughman with Carna

Darby gets the Information Highway in his opening hand and dumps 3 Pander on the table. Alex
influences Zoe to help defend against the impending Pander horde. I drop counters on Travis and
Mark begins influencing as well. Ian gets an early Zillah's Valley and brings a titled vampire into
play before Darby has a chance to call any votes. Darby turns into a weenie bleed deck, calling
occasional votes that Ian permits. Alex is behind on getting Rachel in play and needs to spend lots
of time looking backwards. My ability to cut Mark's crypt (for the second time today) to hide Carna
means that my early actions aren't blocked. I quickly get to three Imbued with Travis, Jennie, and
Jack(?). I'm actually in a really good spot because of the pressure on Alex, who is floating around
3-4 pool. After an Unmasking, I get out two more Imbued about the time Darby transfers out. Alex
still has to contend with Ian, but the pressure is less. I start having to deal with Alex's bleeds.
After only the occasional forward action, Pentex floats into my hand. The time is now. I Pentex
Carna and Strike/Second Sight my way through 9 pool. I am completely locked and Alex undoes most of
the pool gain I received for my oust. Ian was low on pool because Dominate is pretty good, so as my
new prey, I Strike/Second Sight my way through his 3 pool, grabbing another VP. Alex burns through
my VP pool because I am again locked completely. On my next turn, I have 5 Imbued ready for Alex
and am sitting on 14 pool. I have two Champions with 3 and 5 convictions respectively, Second Sight
on every Imbued, and intercept powers and equipment on top of the Unmasking. I just need to make the
last 15 minutes. With the Madness Network in play, I need to defend against 6 actions between my
unlocks. I survive a turn, play Unity, use it to put two Angel of Berlin on top of my library. That
will give me enough unlock to survive until time. After one more big effort by Alex, he concedes
with a few minutes left on the clock.

Imbued get a lot of table hate and I did take some cross-table vote damage, but not too much in
this game. The deck is very solid if you can get the setup right. Early blocks of powers, Travis's
ability, and Inspire actions put you behind the curve. I was lucky to get most of my setup because
of table dynamics. The deck is fun to play, but requires many, small, correct steps, like a
Rube-Goldberg machine, before you're in a position to be truly successful.

9x Khazar's Diary (Endless Night) -- This is on the light side for the archtype, but I'm counting on a mid game filled with disposable allies.
5x Sudario Refraction -- because (repeat after me) recursion is broken.

Ally (13)
1x Carlton Van Wyk -- happy to use him, or contest him.
8x Cry Wolf -- buys time and makes Diary counters. I do miss having a standing press source but was never that happy with how Mob Connections performed in previous versions.
1x Gianna di Canneto -- fantastic special gave me the 7th counter in the final. She could be doubled up and the deck would not suffer.
1x Ossian -- after all, I have Target Vitals so a fat Ossian is pretty common.
1x Tye Cooper -- another layer of recursion that I usually end up discarding unless there's a rush combat deck near me.
1x Vivienne Géroux -- mostly just extra bleed, but I've pushed her onto vote decks on rare occasions. Hilarity ensued.

Deck Name: Broccolini
This deck was developed independently from (but about the same time as) Esa-Matti Smolander's 17 Sept 2019 winner. The designs turned out similar because there's a single logical path for development with these vampires:
1) Get too many MPA and discard options,
2) Play Ashur Tablets,
3) Profit.

I suspect I'm a little more ruthless in discarding than Esa-Matti is - I have one more set of Tablets and want dual stealth locations. Between Blithe Acceptance and those locations, I can leverage a more compact stealth module from that point forward.

Who Eats A Lot Of Broccoli is clearly the focus. If I don't get him early I'm behind the curve, digging for Wider View and pushing subsequent Tend the Flocks + Info Highway for pool gain. The deck would probably run better with 5/13 Huitz since it can limp along without Giotto if needed - but having a valid target for Tend is still pretty important.
The 3 Anarch Converts give the Railroad stealth, but also provide 1-3 chump block options if that's needed more. I seldom get the High Priest unless I'm pretty far ahead in the mid game (like, never???)

Action (8)
1x Blithe Acceptance -- stupidly good in this kind of deck

The deck is difficult to play and is not classic legionnaires that quickly rise from Liquidation or the increasingly popular The summon history. Nevertheless, it is a matter of playing style. Here we have a version that is very slow but has an extremely strong defense.

Vincent (shattering crescendo) > Gilles (Malgorzata with tupdogs but without grapple) > me > Édouard (Turbo inside Dirt) > Axel (Tzimisce Wall)

Created by: Tim
Description: The deck is a very solid defensive deck which abuses 2 of the most strong defensive cards in VtES : second tradition and Earth Meld. The ousting power is based on a strong combo of permanent : Homunculus, +1 Bleed on Rachel and Madness Network. For the full package there is also perfectionist and Enkil Cog for the possibility to bleed for 3 during the turn of every player without cards nor cost. Actually having only part of the full combo can already be strong and Madness Network should not be defended at all cost Enkil Cog being already very strong.
The specificity of my version of the deck is the fact that it abuses Rachel card text with 62 cards total, the Heart of cheating and Fragment+Barrens to kind of always have the perfect hand. I regularly have the 3 in play and after that I can change 3 cards in my hand beginning my turn (and keep the master and permanents I want to play) and I can change up to 4 cards at the end of the turn reshuffling what I will need for the rest of the game without depleting my library. The 2 directs are very strong for a deck that is active during the turn of the other players and allows alongside the 4 maneuvers to keep IG players at bay.

Deck Name:   Lock and Load
Description: Based upon Martin Major's First Chance Qualifier at NAC 2010 Tourney winning deck
The goal is to get assault rifles and let people play their game. Okay to rush down cross table voters if necessary.
With Parity shift rule change pool gain was an issue.
Possible change is removing Dreams, 1 Monastery, 2 Grooming for 4 Ashur Tablets.
Meddilng with Semsith was worth the card slot.

Deck Name: Dirty Nights
Description: Night Moves + Inside Dirt

A fun day with a little luck thrown in.

Round 1: I swept a 5-player table. Going fourth gave me the right set up against the large vampire
decks in front of me. My predator was a bruise-bleed deck that I managed to mostly ignore because
of the pool gain from the ousts. The star card this round was Millicent Smith, which I dropped in
the two player. I could stealth by blocks and he could not. It sealed the sweep.

Round 2: I sat prey of a speed War Ghoul deck. It went about as expected. I lost a minion a turn,
but had my prey as close as 2 pool before finally succumbing.

I was first seed for the finals. Knowing what the other decks were playing I was unsure that any
of them could be fast enough or robust enough to stop the speed War Ghoul deck. I chose to sit as
the predator of that deck hoping that the burn blood effect on Inside Dirt would prevent any
War Ghouls from getting into play. (I never actually used that effect all day.)

Finals seating:
Mark Loughman: AAA Aching Beauty ->
Brad Cashdollar: Stanislava ->
Jay Kristoff: Black Hand block ->
Me: Inside Dirt ->
Bill Troxel: Speed War Ghoul

Bill had a bad crypt draw and did not get a Tzimisce on turn one. I opened with two Clotho's Gift
in hand and instead of attempting any forward actions ensured that I got extra crypt cards as fast
as possible. Bill was without a War Ghoul for several turns, but instead of using my first Inside
Dirt to empty a vampire I decided that I had enough vampires in play and would rather Bill spend
the pool. Bill finally gets a War Ghoul. At the start of his next turn, he is at 7 pool and I have
5 vampires in play. He plays The Parthenon (for a cycle) and then locks it for Dia de los Muetos. I
Wash the latter. I lose an empty Lubomira to a War Ghoul rush. Bill spends 3 more pool on another
War Ghoul leaving himself at 2 pool. He then calls Autorkis Persecution. Mark had vote lock. Both
Bill and I both attempted to negotiate with Mark; Bill won the negotiations. So, I Delayed the
vote. Bill had a Cryptic Rider and a second Autarkis in hand. I never would have ousted him had
those passed. He managed to cycle into a Con Boon and ended his turn with 4 pool. Mark is close to
ousting Brad, calling Parity Shift and giving Bill 2 pool. Next turn I manage to oust Bill with my 4
remaining vampires. Mark ousts Brad. After another turn, Mark sits at 6 pool. I play Night Moves and
follow that with Inside Dirt. Jay plays Eagle Sight, attempting to block. I play superior Forgotten
Labyrinth and a Spying Mission. Jay DI's the Spying Mission and I follow up with a Cloak. Jay
declines to block. A Night Moves and a stealthed bleed later, I oust Mark.

I have two cards left in my library. I concede my VP to Jay winning the 2-2-1 split on seeding.

Suggested changes after the tournament:
- Games of Instinct has to go (too situational), replace with Nose of the Hound;
- Secure Haven was for contesting, haven't drawn it in any of the games, still wondering if I should keep it.

Deck Name: Diptinatpa & co. Investigations
Description: I wanted to meme around with Demonic Possession and Archon Investigations, but it seems Dominate is strong. Long story short - we had a blast with 15 players in Eastern Finland for 2R+F, where everyone got well up to speed and warmed up known and trusted, safe, aggressive picks. Great fun, and something that bodes well for the re-establishing of the tournament scene post-Corona!

There's very little to say about the deck itself. Sometimes you get lucky and others make more mistakes than you. For 3R+F and a player base that's not short on practice after a a break, play control. Anu is cool though!

Dreams and Wakes are probably a wash in this particular build.

Deck Name: ——____—— aka The Hoody Gang #3
Description: Again big thanks to all. I tend to build several version of decks I enjoy playing, so here is another of my Matasuntha decks. The deck is super slow so not a very wise decision in a 100+ people tourney, especially without Smiling Jack, Anarch Revolt, etc. The worst part is you rely on the table collapsing and taking what is left. The good part is you have decent defense, in terms of intercept and even combat. Ashur Tablets to retrieve cards, combat when you face hard hitters or wakes & intercept on a stealthy table. 8 Eagle's Sight should provide you some control of the table.

Deck Name: Ravnos Revolutionary Council v2.5
Description: Bleed and Vote toolbox built around Revolutionary Council and Week of Nightmares. The strategy here is to make the proper setup (Tumnimos, bleed supply, propagandas and titles) and staying alive long enough to finish the table in spectacular fashion. It's way more versatile and resilient to combat than the Kholo variant, but requires more time to become a real threat. On the other hand it can score a VP or disrupts the whole table literally out of the blue if your baron is ready and well supported.

-- 1GW4 + 3VP in final

Deck Name: Zurich Fellowship
Created by: Karl Schaefer
Description: Faye Reppas was playing a really cool Luke Fellows/Xendil Charmer multi-act deck. I
was toying with some Powerbase: Zurich decks at the time and Luke, with his special, seems like a
perfect fit. The deck is highly aggressive, but being !Gangrel doesn't appear to be a table threat
immediately. I had previously played this in an online event taking first seed, but was stymied by
Veil of Darkness.

Today was very strange. Luke made no appearance in the opening rounds, even after getting at least
one decrypt in each round. In the finals, Powerbase: Zurich showed up too late to be useful. The
deck, however, proved resilient. I was second seed for the final round.

The finals seating:
Jeff aus cel obf gun block/rush ->
Me ->
Mark Toreador w/for ->
Brad BH Assamite S/B ->
Alex Assamite Breed/Boon

The finals were over pretty quickly with so much bleed and vote on the table. In turn 7, my Denette
was Fame-dunked. She had Tasha, J.S., and a Camera Phone. Judgment: Camarilla Segration was in play
so I contemplated burning her, but instead chose to rescue her with Lubomira, who wasn't going to
be a good bleeder against my prey. I used Heidelberg Castle to split the retainers to Old Neddacka,
leaving the Phone on Denette, and splitting the blood. I was able to get Mark down to 1 pool.

Mark ousts Brad via a bleed with Judgment: Cam Seg putting the final nail in his coffin. Alex fires
off two Loss bleeds and calls a KRC, ousting Jeff.

On my turn, Powerbase: Zurich finally hits play in the finals. My prey is at 9 pool. I have 4
vampires: Luke, Lubomira, Old Ned, and Denette. Lubomira hunts. Between the gear and Heidelberg
Castle, I send in a 2, a 3, and a 4 bleed, ousting Mark.

Even though Alex was playing a breed deck, his opening crypt was all large vampires, so he only had
3 larger vampires in play. He finally gets two Embraces in play, but doesn't draw and pool gain. He
has 11 pool when I start my turn. I am showing 12 bleed on the table and it's over. It was a flurry
of ousts over two turns and the game was done.

Notes on playing:
You only need 3-4 Instantaneous Transformation unlocks with Luke. His extra unlock every turn is
already powerful. The rest can be used as stealth.

There are a lot of Masters. You must use your discard phase every turn; you do not want to jam on
Master cards.

Deck Name: Assamite swarm bleed and vote

I wasn’t sure day before the tournament if I have time to actually play,
but had already selected deck in case I manage to join. There is reason behind my choice of deck.
I’ve been doing lately a special project or kind of challenge of my own.
The challenge is pretty simple to get a game win with each clan, doesn’t matter what game.
Most will come in casual games more than likely, as I’m not gonna be usually that predictable
on the clan I’m playing in tournaments. This time I felt is safe, noone would know from start
that I actually am on Assamite on the challenge. So I chose to continue that on the tournament, and seems it paid out.

Deck Name: The Family Celebrates Christmas

Classic Powerbleed deck, based on my TWD of the "Bleedfest".
Of course, this deck can be tweaked quite easily according to personal taste and metagame.
Changes I will take into consideration:
Replace Francesca with another copy of Gloria, and/or add a third copy of Isabel, since she is the best that 5 Pool can buy for this deck.
The Uncoiling should be in, unless players stop playing ally decks, and Narrow Minds was not of much use. Plus, a third copy of Delaying Tactics seems to be highly recommended.

I wanted to make a deck that a) would not be easily ousted b) would guarantee that games will not go to time. So, Shatter the Gates with MMA gains it was.

First round started quite nicely and I delivered shattered counters early on. Unfortunately Peetu also got his game running fast, gaining with Kaymakli fragment and voting damage. 1vp for me, not a disaster, but less than I was hoping for.

Second round was terrible. Again, I was playing the table to Peetu, who was my prey. I couldn't defend my shatter the gates and still I was stubbornly trying to play them. 0vp, and another GW for Peetu.

Third round saved the day. If i recall correctly, I didn't get shatters, but gained enough, bled enough, talked enough to manage a GW and place in the final table. Close call and a bleeding race with Pasi in the end.

In the finals seating was me -> Tero (Malgorzata/Lord Tremere/Mistress Fanchon) -> Peetu (Giotto Verducci/Nos princes) -> Tom (Unnamed) -> Emma (Ventrue). From earlier rounds it was obvious that Peetu was the table threat. Also it seemed that Teros deck was not fast enough to put any pressure and there was very little that Tom could do backwards to Peetu.

I decided to not play shatters at all. Instead, we had a similar understanding of the table with Emma; Tom had to go first, then we would do anything to help Tero oust Peetu. After that, hopefully I could oust Tero and we both would have a chance to win the game (and tournee).

Plan worked like a charm. Close call though and (don't quite remember the details, but) coordinating bounces and well timed DI was needed as very often is the case. Great Beast helped a lot. In the end I think I had Cybele, Beastie, Veneficti and legionnaires to bleed and liquidation/Ashurs running nicely and duel with Emma was quite easy at that point.

Finals thought of the deck.
It was kinda fun to play for a while. Liquidation/Ashurs are way too strong and i wont be playing those without a really good reason. Babalawo is awesome. And so is the Great Beast. Those I most definetily will be playing a lot more and in different kind of decks. I was mostly worried about combat decks and surviving with direct rushes. I was lucky I guess, since I really don't recall a tournament in which there was less combat than in this one, (I think Ari's trap/blight was the only combat deck I saw).

All in all, it was nice to play a tournament and it seemes that we have to wait a while until the next opportunity. I'll be more than happy to "organize" (host really) tournaments in the same venue.

Deck Name: My stick is better than bacon

Here is a quick report by the Winner of the event Niko Vanhatalo.

Just your average Ventrue grinder/stickmen with my own personal preferences

Finals were pretty brutal because every deck was a bleeder in some way or the
other and there was no clear winner even when it was down to 2 players.
Players from 1 to 5 were Petri with Anarch stealth bleeder, Jyrkkä with
Lasombra/Kiasyd stealth bleeder, Pauli with Ventrue grinder, me with my own
Ventrue grinder and Lasse with Legion and Legionnaire bleeder. My biggest
concern was my predator who played pretty much the same deck with like 90% of
the crypt being the same cards, but we were able to avoid unnecesary contesting
thanks to table talk. He still contested my Lodin later in the game but was
ousted pretty fast after that before any real damage to me was done.

Deck Name: Girls Will Find IC


Nothing original, very close to Jorge Delgado's list from EC 2019.

I removed Giant's Blood as I find it's not so useful here and often a dead card, but it could be added.
The Herald was instrumental in first round, but only goes into play if it can be useful against a swarm.
I love having Archon Investigation as Aksinya's special tends to motivate the predator to bleed over 3.

Deck Name: Gotsdam Maris Eurayle

Basic idea was to look for vampires with very strong innate abilities that are fueled by blood, and then fill them up with a cheap Salubri.
The ones I picked are purely defensive, and then rely on a few key actions (spiritmarionette/heidelberg or anarchist uprising) to get ousts.
All cards need to be playable by at least two of the vampires (I only broke the rule recently when I added two Veil the Legions on the day of the tournament).
I initially just had one damaging vote, but every time I added one more, the deck got better.
Two of the telepathic misdirections could be my enemy's enemy for additional intercept opportunity,
but I really liked always being able to deflect no matter who is bleeding.

Deck Name: Improvised madness revolt

Dust Up your Improvised Flamethrower and Revolt with a Smile

It has always annoyed me how unable I'm to go forward with AUS decks. If you're not Tzimisce and threatening torpor no one cares.
Similar goes if you have Sniper rifles. Good defense - no offense. Improvised Flamethrowers solve both.
The very obvious downside is it explodes if you take damage on long range. Dust Up helps there. (Crows + Bats will still get you) but can't have it all.
Dust up also saves you blood even when you don't have burninators. Small downside is Dust Up does not work nicely with .44 as you commit to strike when you maneuver.
Math is quite different when usual 2 blood loss from .44/Sniper Rifle changes to lost action to get out of torpor and 3 blood lost so actions go through and you are attacked less frequently.

One discard is not enough if you get stuck with bounces and no one bleeds or you get your 3 weapons and need to get rid of Discuised Weapon and ... weapons.
I was thinking of +2 Powerbase LA and replace Spirit's touch for Guardian Vigil
also lose Revolt. That's bit too much master phases but 13 anarch cards are can be used to unlock your ladies.

I'm also thinking ditching Aleph for Isabel de Leon. It's extremely rare he will have a weapon to get though on or off turn.

Deck Name: Stanislava Vote/Bleed v1.6

Third tournament of our "Road to EC" series. The faith of the next event is
still unclear, as it is not known how the ongoing situation is going to
develop.

Great amount of players considering everything that is going on. Super tight
games all around, unexpectedly a lot of voting and not that much bleeders. One
of our players had to leave after the first round, due to personal reasons, but
we continued with 12 players!

Big thanks to Tommi, Antti and Jyri for coming to Joensuu all the way from
Helsinki area!

Finals Seating:
Aapo Järvelin (Al'Muntathir Black Hand Bleed) --> Tommi Hakomaa (Osebo Combat/Wall)
 --> Esa-Matti Smolander (Stanislava Vote&Bleed) --> Jyri Puhakka (Anson Guns)

Deck Name: The COVID-20

Description: This is a deck based on the Shambling Hordes archetype. I have
built it by looking into many other decks, like the one that was done by "John
the Trader". Nowadays we are facing some Pandemic that is named COVID 19, and
since I want to make fun of it, I decided to name this deck after the virus but
increasing the number 19 to 20 because this decks has 20 Shambling Hordes. The
main idea is to awake all the Hordes you can as soon as possible, the more
zombies you would have the merrier you would become. Once the Zombies are
awaken they should need something to eat, so don't lose your time and send them
to feast for all the delicious preys served around the table.

Jay Kristoff
https://www.vekn.net/event-calendar/event/9566

-- 0GW2.5 + 1.5VP in final

Deck Name: Sauce or GTFO

Final round recap written by Darby Keeney:

Jay (3rd seed, Matasuntha multiaction) --> Karl (2nd seed, Palla Grande Undue Influence)
 --> Marshall (5th seed, Valkyrie bleed) --> Darby (1st seed, Blood Deprivation/Tempt)
 --> Tim (4th seed, Prince politics with Rabbat kicker).

The mind games start even before the first transfer. Jay's 3rd seed placement
was conventional, but Karl wants nothing to do with Temptation. That part of
his plan works, Darby won't sit near Jay and instead plans to exploit the
Valkyrie's almost-slave status.

The early game proceeds as expected with Karl dropping a couple of early bleed
bombs. Subsequent rushes from Matasuntha and a Valkyrie pretty much doom him.

The key interactions defining the game's development:
 - Tim passes Jay's Ancient Influence, netting Jay 3 more beads than anyone
 else and giving him a large safety margin.
 - Matasuntha's early 1-pt bleed gets bounced with My Enemy's Enemy but Tim
 throws it back at Karl, requiring a second MEE. The pool loss is
 insignificant, but using the 2nd bounce gets Matasuntha an Enkil Cog one
 turn earlier.

On the other side of the table, Darby sprinkles Disease counters and
Temptations liberally. Marshall starts to bleed with the Valks, facing bleed
reduction and S:CE lockdown. With three players now leaning left, Jay simply
moves faster at a minion-less Karl and gets the first oust.

Things tilt in the 4-player as Jay makes it clear that Marshall will face no
predation, immediately Rewilding Darby's Heidleburg Castle. The action is
blocked but the shape of the endgame is clearly defined. Darby isn't happy
about having a pair of predators, especially since Mataunta has both the Eye of
Hazimel and Enkil Cog.

Marshall shows down for a turn and Matasuntha gets flat-out burned with Society
of Leopold. Jay has tons of pool and the Ecoterrorists, so Matasuntha V2 gets
beads as Marshall and Darby do bleedy things, leading to Tim getting ousted.

Marshall correctly Rewilds the Heidleburg (instead of Jay's Ecoterrorists) and
Darby loses an Impundulu with 4 life in a Trapped combat. Neither is completely
happy with that outcome, but Darby's resources are getting thin. Despite a
hectic last turn, Darby can't quite defend his sole pool counter, but Marshall
taps out getting it.

Matasunta immediately rushes Brunhilde and some chump eats her, setting
Marshall on Jay's earlier path of "it's time for V2." He has planned ahead and
only loses one turn - but that's enough to cause the game to time out.

Jay mentions that Marshall wins the game with 5 more minutes since Matasuntha
V1 lost some important tools. Without that time available, Jay gleefully
accepts the dubious honor of winning a tournament with exactly zero games wins
for the day.

Deck Name: Grinderi

Second tournament of our "Road to EC" series. Next event "Road to EC: Field
Training" will be held at the same location in Fantasiapelit Joensuu at
14.03.2020.

This time we had a great number of players once again! Special thanks to Pasi,
Ari and Pekka who came from Jyväskylä and to Lauri, Tero and Jyri who came from
Helsinki area to join us in the tournament!

This time the tournament meta was heavily bleed oriented, with most of the
players playing some kind of stealth & bleed deck, or big cap toolbox decks
capable of pressuring via huge bleeds with stealth and voting.

After the preliminary rounds were over, Ari Lensu (5th player on standings)
decided to drop from the finals, to not keep the rest of the Jyväskylä crew
stuck in Joensuu, and to get back on their way to home before midnight. Because
of that the 6th player, Simo Tiippana took his place in the finals.

Finals Seating:
Tero Aalto (Malgorzata) --> Aapo Järvelin (Ventrue Antitribu Grinder)
 --> Esa-Matti Smolander (Stanislava Vote & Bleed) --> Simo Tiippana (Ondine Combat/Wall)
 --> Jyri Puhakka (Ventrue Princes with Sticks)

I was expecting a bleed heavy meta in the tournament, so decided to play the
good old Grinder, the deck I started the game with. This version is pretty
basic, with some influence from Jyri Puhakka's version and thoughts, in
Retribution and some Crypt decisions. Landed on 3 Neighbor John, instead of 3
Blackhorse Tanner because of the lack of intercept in the deck. To compensate
that I added one Edward Neally to the deck, he has two really strong abilities,
even if they are a bit situational. To boost the hand cycling capabilities of
the deck even further I decided to try one Katherine Stoddard too, which was
great addition, as it basically won one round for me!

-- 1GW4.5 + 2.5VP in final

The seating in the final was !Ventrue grinder -> high cap Tremeres with Malgorzata
 -> Eurobrujahs -> HoS grinder -> Asanbonsams.

The !Ven grinder almost managed to oust the Tremeres, but got stuck with some useless
cards and got eliminated by the Asanbonsams close to the end of the final, the Tremeres
also fell a few moments later. In the very last seconds Arek went for the oust of the
Eurobrujah, but got deflected to the HoSs who were at two pool, attempted to bounce back
to the EBs, but the bounce was DIed and the Eurobrujahs got a single point for that.

Deck Name: Gangrene Bleed

This brew is a remake of my first tournament deck from 2004. According to my
deck building philosophy back then, this deck tries to accrue a critical mass
of permanent effects and win in the late game. Hatch the Viper was insanely
strong and in hindsight I'd probably adjust the deck to rely more on it.

Deck Name: Erlik's Bluff & Bleed
Created by: Maciej "ZaraZ" Kozłowski & Marcin "Dude" Szybkowski

Sick of anti-Legionnaire hate, I decided to get rid of the Legionnaires and explore other paths for the Harbingers. I had a rough idea of what I wanted to do, but I didn't really get down to it until the eve of the tournament, finished tweaking & consulting it with Marcin at midnight, which left me with no other testing ground than the tournament itself. The deck has some issues with blood management, a few Perfectionists would probably help with that. The guns should both be replaced with .44s, as the maneuver can either help move away from some more dangerous individuals or move closer to some single-manuever Animalism, for example. I have not played Lupine Assault even a single time, so I'd get rid of that - there were always some cards I wanted to keep in my hand, there is nothing to retrieve them from the ash heap. Villeins should be replaced with Vessels, at least until the blood management issues are solved. Last, but definitely not least: Kiss of Ra is golden, it proved to be highly effective in getting rid of annoying star-blockers, first Masika and then Anson in the final.

Tommi Hakomaa

-- 1GW4 + 3VP in final

Esa-Matti's Stanislava was on the first seed by clear margin but decided to
drop out as he was unsure if he had to leave in the middle of the game. Sad
times! But because of this Matias The Dark Horse got to the finals.

Seating in finals:
Tommi Hakomaa (Rebekka + Jost + Auspex + Presence) ->
Karri Malm (Corrupt Constructions) ->
Matias Frosterus (Ani Aus For featuring Trochomancy) ->
Tero Aalto (Tremere Big Cap) ->
Hannu Kokkonen (Old skool Lambach)

Some 75-90 minutes of minutes of preliminaries and Matias was ousted (at 100
minutes left on the clock he HAD said that "Ooops, I made a mistake. Now I've
lost." Which surprisingly turned out to be absolutely true in the end!

Then Hannu and shortly Karri followed suit.

The heads up started with 8 minutes on clock and ended 5 minutes later with 3
minutes on the clock with Tommi beating Tero.

Here is the deck list. It was same deck Tommi played in Finnish Nationals 2019 with 1 extra Pentex.

Deck Name: Dreams of Revelations
Description: A deck I made last minute on the spot, because I didn't know what to play on sunday and wanted to try Nefertiti Adv. :)
In my mind it was a better Nakhthorheb: maybe less "in your face" powerful, but better able to react, more polyvalent. This version is far from optimal. I wanted to make fun use of corruption but I really got only one minion like that (and it was useless), and when I didn't get Sarrasine I needed to use an action and a blood with Nefertiti to make good use of Revelation of Desire. Don't think it's worth it all things considered. But maybe it's because it was suboptimal that people let me win, so who's complaining? ;-)

Aapo Järvelin (Capuchin Multirush) --> Hannu Kokkonen (Daughters of Cacophony Anarch Vote) --> Jyri Puhakka (Midcap Malkavian Bleed & Block) --> Jani Malmi (Euro Brujah) --> Katja Malmi (Arika & Friends)

A Dementation stealth bleed deck with midcap vamp's. One would say that the
reaction package is a little bit heavy compared to combat capabilities. The
reason for the heavy reaction package is to be opportunistic in blocking,
choosing battles wisely and taking advantage of as many combo cards as
possible.

Deck Name: Farley Mowat V2.01

Named after the author of the hilarious book "Never Cry Wolf", this is a
twice-modified version of previously winning deck. This iteration seems more
stable than previous versions. And I absolutely should have played this for the
previous day's Cup event, when I was 100% certain there would be at least one
Legionnaire deck floating around.

The kinda-recent sect inheritance change helps with Cry Wolf and the Railroad, so Seattle Committee and Twilight Camp could be removed from the library.

This isn't THAT many allies to transform, but there are usually possibilities from other players' ash heaps before harvesting my own.

Deck Name: Montano OBT DOM ANI POT - Kragujevac tournament win

Final table order:
1 - The unnamed - Predrag Savic
2 - Stanislava - Milutin Melka
3 - Montano - Nikolaj Wendt
4 - Giovanni powerbleed - Milos Krstic
5 - Lutz - Nikola Obradovic

Report:

The unnamed starts first and brings up Anarch Convert. Next comes one of
Giovannies and immediately makes a pressure on Lutz. Lutz is in big trouble,
which leaves space for The unnamed to grow. Stanislava tries to put pressure on
Montano, but after a few fights, she is left with almost empty vampires.
Giovanni ousts Lutz, but Unleash Hell's Fury keeps them from brainless bleed.
As Montano begins to pressure Giovanni, The unnamed gets the score on
Stanislava. Giovanni falls. The unnamed has plenty of pool, and expects a rush
from Montano. One rush ends in Fury, and the second meets The unnamed. The
unnamed is Grappled and can't use Rötschreck, so it goes to final death. The
unnamed tries to rise again by influence, but it's too late because bleed of 8
made it impossible. The winner is known.

Congratulations to Nikolaj Wendt!

Babalawo Anarch Legionnaire with Crow. Use Detect Authority for general
protection against rushes, actions to burn Maabara, attempts to steal
Legionnaires or PB:Los Angeles, and bleeds. Highly reactive deck with swarm
Legionnaire bleed as its entire ousting mechanism.

The deck is fun to play and defensively sound. Parthenon in concert with
Maabara is quite powerful (e.g., D.I. every turn). Legionnaires are OP.

I would like to add back one Trochomancy and/or one Monkeywrench. I also
might experiment with a couple of Gear Ups. Other than that, likely won’t
do much to change this build.

Nikolaj Wendt
https://www.vekn.net/event-calendar/event/9430

-- 2GW7.5 + 1.5VP in final

Deck Name: Aksinya weenie PRE - Danish Nationals 2019

Report by Christian Nislev:

The attendance has been dropping in the last few years, but this year the trend
turned upwards with 20 players participating – not least due to a strong
turnout by non-Danes, for example Swedes from Malmö, who seem to have come out
of torpor and hungry for blood.

The Danish meta is typically combat-heavy compared with elsewhere, but this
year saw a more moderate metagame with an even distribution of stealth-bleed,
fat cap voters, ally-decks and a bit of combat.

The following players reached the final:
1. Nikolaj Wendt 2GW7.5
2. Sebastian Fredenberg 2GW5
3. Rudolf Scholz 1GW7.5
4. Henrik Andersen 1GW6.5
5. Nico Scholz 1GW5

While the ally decks were setting up at one end of the table, the bleed decks
were pressing forward from early on, and the bleed-bouncing was intense. After
more than an hour’s play, Sebastian was ousted by Henrik who had three vampires
out and another one on the way.

The last part of the final saw intense activity with Nikolaj promising Nico to
hold off with bleeds so she could go forward in the hope of ousting Rudolf in a
few turns. Henrik pushed forward against Nikolaj but Nikolaj kept bouncing
bleeds to Nico with Aksinya’s ability and Lost in Translation. To cycle cards,
Henrik stealthed past Nico’s blocking minions to deliver a strong bleed against
her. Nikolaj saw his chance and informed Nico that he would break the deal
since she was now within ousting range. Shortly after, she was ousted.

With a few minutes left, Rudolf pressed Henrik hard and came close to ousting
him, but he ran out of time before the final few bleed actions could be carried
out.

With Nikolaj and Henrik on 1.5 VPs each, Nikolaj won the Danish National
Championship 2019 due to entering the final in top position.

A highly unusual final of a Danish championship, with neither combat or vote
decks present. The winner was, however, not unexpectedly, Nikolaj Wendt – a
former Prince of Copenhagen (now in exile in Serbia) and enfant terrible of the
Danish V:TES scene who has for many years been THE player to beat in Denmark
(rumour has it that ousting him in casual games is worth 1.5 VPs...).

Nikolaj's comment: "Aksinya is one of my favorite vampires, and I have been
trying to slot her into different archetypes (previously the obvious ANI one).
She offers great support for the problems that I feel weenie PRE decks normally
face."

Deck Name: Ishtarri Bleed & Vote Multiaction
Created by: Rivanildon Frazão

Deck was originally created by my friend Patrick Alves then fine tuned by me.
As all crypt have basic obf, there is 4 forgotten labyrinth for political
actions and also there is some telepathic misdirections that only Eugene and
Ayo Igoli can play. I usually start with Ayo Igoli and try to enchant kindred at
superior to hasten the deck. Undele's special with kiss of Ra and Banishments
are very strong in the endgame, and in the final table helped me win, since
there was 10+ anarch revolts in play.

Deck Name: Harringer of skulls mk II

I upgraded the deck since last entry to have a few more combat ends since I was
having a few problems with table hate/rush the rest remained the same. This
deck is pretty much a toolbox deck with a lot of recursion with the
legionaires. You try to put 2 vampires in play at the same time, preferably
erlik and Erebus using erliks ability. Focus Erebus on calling emeralds every
turn to create a wall versus rush decks, leave a vampire untapped to block
entrancement if necessary and bleed as much as necessary. The only changes I
would make right now is a few delaying tactics if you expect a voting metagame.

Darby Keeney
https://www.vekn.net/event-calendar/event/9446

Deck Name: (2019 2Q) Flay the Game V2 (feat. Xipe Totec)
Created by: Darby Keeney

Description: Leverages two [ANI][VIC][aus+][pro+] vampires to screw with the current ally-based and location-dependent metagame. A few flexible elements support a basically bad stealth bleed deck, resulting in more than the sum of the pieces.

For this tournament, "favorable" fails to describe how well things worked out: a bleedy prey with a rush grandprey and a mis-firing Nergal deck upstream. A bleedy grandpredator with a bloating predator and a Summon History ally deck downstream. In each case, a Rachel Brandywine deck that relies on Homoculus across from me. It made for a couple of game wins and great seeding going into the finals.

I was able to get that same bleedy grandpredator with a bloating predator in the finals, and the Nergal deck was pointed away from me. The table seated as Darby (Xipe) --> Jesper (Nergal) --> Marshall (G4/5 Lawfirm) --> Karl (DOM OBT Art of Memory) --> Kelly (Vote-bloat)

Contesting Dreams with my grandpredator bought time for the table to develop, but a Flurry of Actions saw Karl oust Kelly, Nergal barely miss an oust, Marshall miss an oust by even less and Karl me by 2. I ousted Jesper and Marshall immediately got Karl, leaving us heads-up. All the bounce I couldn't find earlier found use as intercept, which gave me enough of an edge for the win. An interesting, tense, fun final.

Xipe's text special is stupidly good in the current metagame. It gets even better when someone drops the Unmasking. Darvag's text can be useful against Parthenon, intercept locations and stealth locations. Stephen's stealth provides steady bleed pressure before lunge turns.

This is a deep Master package, at least 7 of them are trifles. From there, discards (w/ Dreams) usually manage hand contents reasonably. The package clearly focuses on making and moving blood.

This deck doesn't need Carlton, it just steals someone else's.
-- There was a Mylan Horseeed in here, it fell out he started appearing frequently in the Denver meta.

There used to be a Bowl of Convergence, but Xipe often ends up too busy to bother getting it.

I omitted Delaying Tactics because I see Undele vote decks so much that it wasn't helpful.

-- 1GW5 + 1.5VP in final

Deck Name: Dream a Little Dream (Cup Edition)
Created by: Karl Schaefer

Description: !Malk Dream World bread deck.

Some minor tweaks since my original win with this. Stavros is really the star
and every time I saw Alicia Burrows, I just wished it was Stavros. It may be
better to shrink the crypt up more by replacing both Alicias with another
Stavros and Fabrizia. Switching to 4/5 would add some OBF help with !Nosferatu
weenies, but loses General Perfidio Dios. The extra vote and extra place to
toss Powerbase: Madrid votes is useful but may be making the deck too large
overall.

I chose this deck for the day because it tends to have surprising
survivability. I got 2 GW on NAC Day One this year with it and I have great
familiarity with it. Since the event was going to include many folks I had
never played with, I wanted that familiarity and reliability. I squeaked into
the finals with 1GW5, earning my game win in round one, but faced Darby
Keeney's Temptation deck in rounds 2 and 3 plus the final (my deck stalled in
both directions). His deck is a solid counter to mine: Temptation, allies that
can steal blood (and life), and permacept in Bupe and Saatet-Ta.

For me the day revolves around battling that same Temptation deck over and over
and over, but there was more to the final that just our two decks.

1st seed Dave Litwin Dmitra Breed/Boon 0.5 VP ->
3rd seed Bill Troxel Mordecai Ben-Nun Anarch Legionnaires 0.5 VP ->
5th seed Kevin Mitcham Arika with G2/3 Ventrue 0.5 VP ->
4th seed Me 1.5 VP ->
2nd seed Darby Keeney Temptation 0 VP

I had no seating choice and am not sure where I would have sat had I been given
a choice. I am pretty sure that Darby chose to sit in front of me because in
our two previous encounters that day I did not manage to oust him. The latter
encounter ended with us being heads up and he was about 2 minutes from ousting
me. I think it was his best seating choice given our previous interactions.

I went fourth and had Fabrizia, so I was able to get the baby-making going
early. I had some extra time without interference, since Kevin's first vampire
was Arika. Darby brought Bupe up early so I was spending more stealth than I
wanted to do normal things like hunting. Bill was dumping large portions of his
library with Liquidation and Kevin was rightly concerned. He tried to Entrance
the first Legionnaire, but 2 Detect Authorities and 3 intercept later, he was
caught losing a lot of blood in the process. This left the window open for
Darby to Tempt Arika. With Dave putting Dmitra in play, Darby needed to
use Arika to help him oust, since stealing his prey's vampires was not as
effective. That being said, Dmitra was trying to help Arika get blood back.

The game shifted to everyone hanging on. Bill kept getting more Legionnaires
and had The Unamsking and FBI in play. Kevin got up two more large Ventrue.
I was up to around 8 minions with Fabrizia Tempted and 2 Creation Rites in
torpor. Darby was making the most headway using Arika effectively and getting
Dave's pool to single digits.

Then the game state changed. Neither Dave nor Kevin liked The Unmasking and I
had drawn The Uncoiling. I made a deal with the table to have them pass a Con
Boon !Malk (for 7) and I would put The Uncoiling in play. Darby was making
solid progress and put the Fear of Mekhet on Arika to reduce her high blood
total to make it easier to grab her with the Temptation. Occasionally Dave was
making a baby and Bill was still churning out Legionnaires. Bill made a first
push against Kevin. Kevin was feeling the pressure and also irked by Darby
partially controlling Arika. Kevin calls Anarchist Uprising to really put the
hurt on Bill (and me), but Dave was up to six minions and Darby had enough that
it was voted down because I would have been in position to get a quick 2 VPs.

After that, I decided to make a move. I played Dream World and get Darby down to
3 pool. I wasn't able to finish him. Darby is in a no-win position and has
Dave, Kevin, and me working on him. After some forward action, he transfers
out. This both hurts and helps me later in the game. Dave makes little
progress against Bill. With a VP on the table, Bill makes a big push against
Kevin. Kevin is really low on his turn and makes some progress on me as he
gains pool. With Darby gone, the Fear of Mekhet kept on of Kevin's vampires in
the game, which I had not counted on. I took a decent amount of damage.

I decide that survival is more important than going forward against Dave, since
I didn't have a Dream World to play. Instead I farm my Blood Dolls and call a
Con Boon. The Boon passes as Dave figures, I may need to survive Bill and he
can't take Bill heads-up (even if he has the tie-breaker). Bill makes another
push and after some valiant defense, Kevin survives by playing Majesty with the
formerly Feared Lucinde. So, while Lucinde put a hurt on me the previous turn,
her presence keeps Kevin in the game, which in the end allows me to win. With
almost no time left, Arika bleeds for 7, which I take, leaving me at 4 pool
when time is called.

Based on Otso Saariluoma's from Finnish NC 2018, Girls post Anthelios. Changed

Sébastien Ragache
https://www.vekn.net/event-calendar/event/9398

-- 1GW4 + 5VP in final

Deck Name: Emerald crusher

Description: PRECONSTRUCTED DECK “Reign of Stanislava”. Made some changes.

Nice tournament with lots of new players.

Final Seating was:

Vincent Dormois (!Ventrue grinder) -> Christophe Baltazar (Emerald Legionnaire) -> Alain Greiner (Emerald Legionnaire) -> Sébastien Ragache (Stanislava) -> Thomas Hautecouverture (Emerald Legionnaire)

The final includes 3 “Emerald legionnaire” decks. Alain, Thomas and Christophe were playing same crypts with emeralds. The 3 emeralds players have to share the vampires to avoid the contest. Quickly they develop their game. An early unmasking prevents Vincent from passing his equipments / Govern / hunt. The game crystallizes between Thomas and Vincent who plays a !ventrue grinder deck. Vincent temporarily resist with sticks, prevents and much bounce bleed. Gradually, Thomas exhausts Vincent’s vamps. Christophe and Alain ditto. So Sébastien, with his deck stanislava, makes his game without real predator. He passes his prey in stealth. When the situation is unblocked with the death of Thomas, the table is so fragile that Sébastien has only to pick up the crumbs.

Deck Name: Anson’s beautifull Tongue

Here is my Aching Beauty deck.

The below deck is an adaptation a deck from Armen Khachikyan who won the
Russian EC of 2016 with it. He has an intresting angle for playing aching
beauty so I wanted to try it. Look it up on www.vekn.fr/decks/twd.htm

I decided to use group 1/2 instead of 3/4. I think it is better if you don't
use OBF. Also Ashur fits so well in this kind of deck.

So in advance some changes to the below deck.
 -5 Telepathic Misdirection, +5 Deflection: Oh boy I was defenceless a lot of the times and I got away with it. Anson without superior Auspex is a problem.
 -1 Flurry of Actions, +1 Powerbase: Montreal or Voter Captivation
 -1 Political Stranglehold, +1 Ancient Influence
 +1 Aire of Elations: I thought it was already in the deck but I guess I forgot to include it.
 -1 Masika, +1 Francois Villon: Masika was never on the table, but it feels like Francois is stronger in this type of deck. His ability emptied a Dominate vampire and caused an oust.

Lasse Pöyry
https://www.vekn.net/event-calendar/event/9397

-- 2GW8.5 + 3VP in final

Deck Name: Xendil multirush with baby-snakes

Finals seating was:

Lasse Pöyry (Hatch the Viper rush)
-> Petri Wessman (Illegalism Anarch bleed)
-> Pauli Tuomiluoma (Ravnos Animalism combat)
-> Matias Frosterus (Anarch for + dom toolbox)
-> Jyri Puhakka (Dementation bleed toolbox)

First round was 4 players, everything went smoothly. My predator was Montano
Purge, prey was Lasombra (toolboxy). I had to allow one point to cross table,
but was happy to get 1+3 from first round.

Second round was difficult. It was obvious from the start that the table would
time out. Didn't do a single action backwards and I was able to get 1,5 point
in the end. Prey was a wall, kind of - Tzimmie starter played by Esku. I had
some difficulties getting snakes to Xendil, but early temptation but forward
helped. Predator was Nana+Nangila, but I was lucky I guess, that grandprey was
able to torporize them every now and then.

Third round went really well. My predator was MMPA deck that didn't bring any
minions for many many rounds. I was able to go forward from the beginning and
torporized every minion my prey had. Also I was able to equip Xendil with
goggles before standing next to grandpreys Howler. Didn't have difficulties in
combat then, and in the end table was clean from minions other than mine. Oh,
and I did get to use book of going forth by night to steal Rock Cat, which was
cool but didn't really contribute to victory. 1+4 for me.

I decided to have same prey than round 3 in the finals and sit in front of
Jyris Dementation bleed. I thought that I could let Petri bleed some and then
get rid of his minions, hopefully getting 2 points. Didn't go as planned - had
some difficulties finding rushes, had to defend my own pool and Petri ousted
his prey relly quickly. When there was only half an hour left, I figured that I
should help Matias oust Jyri. That would make it more difficult to Petri to get
a second point, it would't change anything for me - I still needed to get Petri
out. I had one good round which did the trick - four rushes forward torporizing
at least 3 (maybe 4, not sure) Tension was in the table and then bleeding with
Codex was enough to oust Petri. Matias made one more effort against me and then
raised his hands.

About the deck: I made the deck day before tournament so it wasn't tested. It was surprisingly solid. I didn't use Heidelberg in any rounds. Possible changes would be removing Dreams and Heidelberg, adding wall street maybe (Dreams is too easily contested and card flow is quite ok). Fleetnes was actually important so maybe another one. Under Siege and Mantle of Bestial Majesty are other key cards.

Deck Name: Montano PURGE

Thanks to Otto & Jura for arranging the tournament!

Finalists:
Jari (Lutz vote+bleed) → Marko (Purge) → Pauli (Ventrue sticks, 2nd trads & daring the dawn bleeds) → Jaakko (Vignes bleed) → Pasi (Kiasyd SB with combat surprise)

Description: Traditional Baltimore Purge deck built around Montano. Inspiration was taken from Akseli Jalava's similar deck. After struggling in the previous tournament against Scourge, I switched crypt's 2 caps to be a generation or two older. This made the deck a bit slower to start but allowed me to include Scourge card to burn other weenies like Tupdogs that are a constant headache in Finnish meta. As a post-Pentex-nerf update, I tested to take two Pentex cards away, and replace one of them with Blind Spot. I would consider adding a 5th Graverobbing as it sparks joy among fellow methuselahs.

Deck Name: Swedish Legionnaires

This deck is based on a deck by Erik Mossberg (SWE). Made some changes, not all
for the better, nevertheless the deck worked like a charme, especially in the
finals. GW3 in the final, which ended in an epic heads-up. Thanks
go to: Erik and the whole Stockholm playgroup, for their kindness in general

Deck Name: Dogleash

After soldiering through the whole Paris Week of Nightmares with one single
deck (The unnamed), it was high time to change into something else for the
Swedish Nationals trip. I didn't land very far away, though, because the deck I
chose wasn't only based on my old signature deck but also emplyed quite a few
Baali friends.

One of my motives was to try and make the most of the last chances to play
Parity Shift in its old form. I was expecting violent metas (and was right), so
I decided to improve the combat defense by including Unleashes. The previous
versions had included Scout Youngwood, and Arishat as the only Baali, but I
decided the other Baalis would do just fine, and their specials would come
handy (I used all of them, too).

The preliminary rounds of the tournament were very difficult with rush decks
all around. In the second round, I brought up my first minion after an hour and
50 minutes, just to be immediately rushed and eaten. Luckily though, I had
somehow managed to win the first game and squeezed into the final as the last
seed.

In the final, more or less everything went my way. Khursid behind me wasn't
drawing his Legionnaires and the weenie Auspex in front of me couldn't match my
consistent five-stealth actions. I was in no danger whatsoever during the whole
game and just rolled into a completely unexpected sweep.

-- 1GW5 + 3VP in final

Deck Name: Full Shift while you can

Our friendly player from Mikkeli organized again tournament at his home in
Mikkeli, Extra thanks to Lasse for having amazing place, in middle drive from
Joensuu, Helsinki and also easy to access from Tampere and Jyväskylä

We had amazing number of players 15, 6 from Joensuu, 5 from Helsinki area, 2
from Jyväskylä and 1 from Tampere, and obviously our host Lasse from Mikkeli.

Personally I haven't had such great games in a long while, and the final was
extremely exciting and close one between me and Esku, new Swedish Champion.

finals seating was:
Esa-Matti (Stanislava 25th anniversary starter) - Simo(Sha-Ennu Reaction denial) - Pasi (Tzimisce toolbox) - Lauri (Alonso/Gabrielle/Fanchon/Orlando vote) - Lasse (Khurshid Emerald)

i was third seed, so I decided to go infront of Tzimisce instead of Sha-Ennu,
cause I knew what that was, and then Esku decided to go infront of me, and
finaly Lasse decided to sit between me and Esku.

I had really fast start, playing Dreams and then 2 Zillah's Valleys to get
Alonso and Mistress Fanchon up

I played Alastor to get Helicopter on Alsonso and also played Signet of King
Saul, to make my preys and predators life hard. They had at first only big caps
and couldn't block Alonso.

The game turned out hard though Sha-Ennu did help a little by giving pressure
to my predator, but my prey the Legionnaires had too much pool and didn't get
many Legionnaires up first, but luckily he did not know his loaned deck well
enough for me atleast.

Eventually Esku ousted Sha-Ennu with Stanislava and we had only four players
left, but since both my predator had gotten lower caps in, I was no longer
unblockable and didn't draw enough stealth I thought I was in trouble, so I
told Esku to go forwards that I will help him oust his second prey, if I get
like 1 turn peace after that. Finaly just 14 minutes left in time he ousted
Pasi, and that was point when Lasse started to play, getting plenty of
Legionnaires and so on.

Lucky for me, Esku did Parity Shift backwards, gaining 3 pool, and allowing me
to cast Anarchist Uprising to out Lasse, and then I played Ancilla Empowerment
to lower Eskus pool to 1, and then it was easy enough to anounce bleed for 1,
and stealth it through, since I had drawn finaly my stealth cards, by the help
of Heart of cheating. When I did my last oust from Esku to gain 3VP in final
there was only 1 and about 20 seconds left in clock. So I secured a victory
with 3VP in the final

The deck was too big, and after the tournament I removed 15 cards from it making it 75 card deck.

Aapo Järvelin

-- 1GW5.5 + 1.5VP in final

Deck Name: Girls will find Liquidity

Seating order was:
 Aapo (Girls will find Liquidity) ->
 Alain (Giovanni g23 Shambling Hordes) ->
 Rudolf (Harbinger of Skulls Wallish Emerald Legionnaires) ->
 Magnus (Presence Weenies) ->
 Marius (Giovanni g23 Shambling Hordes)

I do not remember who was starting player.

Nothing new here, pretty basic Girls deck. This variant is based on the deck by
Otso Saariluoma, which he used to win the Finnish NC 2018. Removed some cards
to get the deck size down, and added a couple of Mirror Walks, to allow Aksinya
to act a bit better if necessary, and to spread out the stealth package more.
Could have used Mistress Fanchon instead of Rafael or Adana, but I opted out of
it as she is lacking Presence.

I also had a bit heavier investment on the Baali stuff, added a second Unleash
Hell's Fury as I expected a lot of combat, Contagion to help with wearing down
the opponents, and couple of I am Legions, because the ability to cancel Auspex
is really good, and I like the ability to use it like instant speed "blood
doll" to gain some pool, or to pay the Infernal tax in advance.

Deck Name: Guillaume's Real Estate Agency

I have been playing and tweaking this deck basically since I started playing,
a year and a half ago, and I'm very happy that it is finally in the TWDA, after
missing two opportunities in the 2018 French National Championship.

This is a toolbox bleed deck, with tons of install and lategame power thanks to
all the permanent locations, that aims to keep good tempo, by playing Nocturn
and not actually wasting actions for install effects.

It's very fun to play and it can clearly be tweaked to one's liking, although I
feel now that the core of the list is pretty much set in stone.

Deck Name: Äitini on mäyrä (My mother is a badger)

Huge tournament this time around! Thanks to everyone for taking the time to come to Joensuu!

Games were super hard this time. A lot of wall and combat decks. And the few aggressive decks were super nasty and super punishing type.

We were not using the alternative time limit in the finals this time around, as most of us wanted to play things normally. Finals game timed out. Finalists can say something about the game if they want to. I don't want to get too deeply into it, as I was not playing. The game seemed like a really tough one in any case.

Finals Seating:

Lasse Pöyry (Tupdog Fiendish Tongue Bleed) -->
Reetta Rautiainen (Giovanni Shambling Hordes) -->
Antti Penttilä (Nana Animalism + Aksinya) -->
Tero Aalto (Unnamed) -->
Esa-Matti Smolander (Huitzilopochtli + Baali bleed)

I totally wasn't expecting to win two tournaments in a row, especially with the same deck. I was going to play something completely different but it turned out I wasn't happy enough with anything else I was brewing.

Even though a lot of people who play regularly in the capital region attended, the eastern meta game is still always quite different. Somehow, the deck felt more consistent than ever, producing a GW3 each preliminary round, and 1.5VP in the final.

Very slight changes compared to the previous version. The most interesting one I would say is getting rid of Veneficti who, in the current ally-steal heavy meta is more of a liability (and can even end up stealing my own Servitors).

Milos Krstic
https://www.vekn.net/event-calendar/event/9280

-- 0GW2.5 + 3VP in final

Deck Name: Spanish Ladies AV

Final round was:
Visnja Ilic (Weenies bleed) ->
Milos Krstic (Kiasyd/Lasombra stealth and bleed) ->
Nikola Zmiro (Tzimisce wall) ->
Petar Zivkovic (Tremere toolbox) ->
Milutin Melka (Fakir with Akunanse block and rush)

A finely tuned version of established stealth and bleed deck archetype,
improved by additional Crypt acceleration and Crypt filtration using Anarch
Converts to avoid duplicate vampires and make use of transfers to the fullest.
This deck won in the Finals with 3VPs despite having Tzimisce wall as Prey and
Computer Hacking weenies as a Predator, no Crypt acceleration, multiple Master
cards getting canceled in the same turn by Sudden Reversals and a Life Boon
played for 5 on its Prey to prevent first oust. I think that removal of Pentex
Subversion and Parity Shift, that was recently announced, will just make this
deck stronger and a definite part of the Top 3 Tier one decks. And in the end,
a message to all the Walls sitting for 1hr 50mins and doing nothing - You're
gonna need a bigger bloat!

Deck Name: Just another nasty bleeddeck

This is the very focused bleeddeck with a few very simple principles.
1 Hand management: have minimum amout of cards that can clog, and cards that increase card options. Low amount of masters also helps.
2 blood management: other masters are to keep the machine rolling.
3 bleed management: Well Duh! all the other cards are for bleeding

Deck Name: MMPA Stealth bleed/vote

I tried out girls a lot but felt like it was missing something. Losing Aksinya was a big hurdle but there are a lot of good vamps in group 1-2 with titles and Dominate. Getting to vote more consistently and bounce occasionally makes me a bit happier. This is the refined version of the deck I won with in Newark OH a few months ago. I made some adjustments for Origins that I probably shouldn't have, namely that I took out Archon Investigation in favor of a Not to Be. I hate Unmasking/Veil of Darkness/Rising and saw 2/3 of them but didn't have the not-to-be to stop them anyways.

I go back and forth on Voter cap at 1-2. Parity Shift may come out as I discard it most often in favor of an Ancilla Empowerment. I'm not sold on Sarrasine/Kephamos other than it's nice to have other minions to bring up. Other than that the deck has proven to be pretty tight.

Deck Name: Mean Mister Master

Joined the tournament in round 2 and squeaked into the final with 1GW3.
Won final with 4VP; finishing move was playing Curse of Nitocris and passing the turn. Played Gambit Accepted in both games.

This is not a terribly interesting deck. It’s just another example of Kindred Spirits being conducive to pairing with just about any master package you could want. In this case, I focused on masters that do pool damage, hence the title, “Mean Mister Master.”

Deck Name: MMPA Stealth bleed/vote

I tried out girls a lot but felt like it was missing something. Losing Aksinya was a big hurdle but there are a lot of good vamps in group 1-2 with titles and Dominate. Getting to vote more consistently and bounce occasionally makes me a bit happier. This is the refined version of the deck I won with in Newark OH a few months ago. I made some adjustments for Origins that I probably shouldn't have, namely that I took out Archon Investigation in favor of a Not to Be. I hate Unmasking/Veil of Darkness/Rising and saw 2/3 of them but didn't have the not-to-be to stop them anyways.

I go back and forth on Voter cap at 1-2. Parity Shift may come out as I discard it most often in favor of an Ancilla Empowerment. I'm not sold on Sarrasine/Kephamos other than it's nice to have other minions to bring up. Other than that the deck has proven to be pretty tight.

Deck Name: (Death) Stars of the Stage

Description: Daughters Death Star variant.

Update of the classic Matthew Morgan Death Star with newer Anarch cards and a
switch to Daughters of Cacophony. I played an earlier version of this deck last
Week of Nightmares and squeaked into a final with it, but the deck was not
nearly resilient enough. Darby Keeney suggested adding more Conductors and the
sect change for Embraces allowed me to ditch Seattle Committee and Twilight
Camp for better Masters.

In Round 1, I was sandwiched in between Alex and Mark. I had a brief window
where Alex was a 10 pool and I drew my first Revolutionary Council. With Alex's
prey at 1 pool, I had to go for the vote. Mark was showing sporadic intercept
and managed to catch me. My game went downhill quickly as they teamed-up to
bounce Alonso Petrodon to me.

Round 2 was much better, but a slow game with 3 vote decks, so there was lots
of talking. My prey had a Legendary, Cardinal-Benedicted Isouda get
decapitated, so I was mostly in a good position, but with very little card
movement, I was mostly a horde-bleed deck. First Tradition hit the table and
locked quite a few Methuselahs. I was able to work successfully because I had
an un-Converted Yseult, calling my prey's Black Forest Base vote. The game
somewhat devolved from there and I ended with 4 VPs.

Alex Romano (Group 4/5 Nos Royalty) ->
Mark Loughman (Emerald Legionnaire) ->
Kelly Schultz (The unnamed w/Maleficia) ->
Me ->
Ben Peal (Black Hand toolbox)

I chose to sit as Kelly's prey not remembering what he was playing. The good
thing about The unnamed was that it took him several turns to get it in play. I
had a good opening crypt draw and got Yseult and Angela Preston early. The
Embraces came up quickly.

Mark got Erlik and Erebus, a few Legionnaires and some guns, but spent way too
much. Alex scored an early VP. I never blocked The unnamed and fortunately it
never got the Enkil Cog. I tried to keep my pool total high enough via Con Boon
and for the most part was in good shape. I called my first Revolutionary
Council vote for 14, all pool damage to my prey. Then, using Firebrand unlocked
and call two Con Boons. Unfortunately each ended via Evil Eye, resulting in no
pool gain.

On my next turn, I started with 4 pool. Losing 1 to Contagion and paying 1 more
pool to recycle Revolutionary Council via Garibaldi-Meucci Museum, leaving me
at 2 pool. Ben was at 7 and the vote should have been easy to pass with
Conductor, 2 Barons, 3 Firebrands, and Bastielle Opera House (22 votes), but I
stupidly put The Coven in play on my previous turn, which meant that Kelly's
Horde with Malificia gained blood without having to lock.

I stymied my own oust, as the Horde Evil-Eyed the vote. I spent the next few
actions trying to cycle into some kind of oust, including running Angela
through several different Baron titles, bleeding, calling other votes, but my
math always came up 1 pool short. So, I looked backwards and Kelly was within
range of the the Dominate. A quick deal with Alex was hatched and I called a
Lily Prelude at inferior putting all 4 points on my predator.

Ben gets up to 10 pool and then Alex lunges. He hits Unleash Hell's Fury first,
but manages to finish him off with the other two vampires. I'm sure if another
action were available to him, I would have been off the table as well. Instead,
I start my turn with 2 pool, paying 1 to recur Revolutionary Council again and
call it to oust Ben. I send an Embrace over to burn the vampire in torpor, but
instead burn Warsaw Station. I send a bleed of 1 over to grab the Edge.

Alex plays another Station (his pool is around 20 at this point). He sends in a
bleed with Alonso Petrodon, boosting it to 5 and gets Archoned. He takes a
couple of tool up actions, including Heroic Might. After rushing one of my
Barons into torpor, he passes the turn back to me. Edge pays to grab the
Revolutionary Council again and I easily pass it, leaving Alex at 6 or 7 pool.

Alex plays Pentex on my remaining Baron (Angela) and rushes my only other
"real" Daughter. She survives via Majesty and he attempts to leave defenders.
Alex told me after that he was cycling, looking for a Sudden as he expected me
to play Pentex. I start my turn with 4 pool and all of my remaining cards in my
hand. I play Pentex and there's no Sudden, so we're contesting. I call my other
Revolutionary Council vote, hitting 3 stealth as I bypass his standing vampire.
I had the Daring the Dawn in hand at this point, but in case something went
wrong I wanted her out-of-torpor. The last vote succeeds and I take the table
3-2.

Deck Name: Propaganda Moves
Created by: Karl Schaefer & Ke Carlton

Description: Night Moves + Propaganda.

I played this online several times and liked the basic concept. Big thanks to Ke
for helping tune this deck. It worked beautifully today until the finals. Round 1
finshed in 37:30 with a sweep at a four-player table. Round 2 gave me an additional
VP, which tied me for second-place. Both rounds were helped immensely by a first
turn Information Highway. As usual, I lost the die roll, so I was third seed going
into the finals.

Seating:
Me ->
Conner Bell (Legacy of Pander) ->
Mark Loughman (KS Stealth Bleed) ->
John Pattie (Tremere with Potence toolbox) ->
Alex Romano (Henry Taylor Twister)

I ended up exactly where I wanted. I knew if Alex could get set up that none of the
decks at the table would be able to oust him. So, I was hoping to let Mark get John
off the table and out-race the eventual Smiling Jack to get 2 VPs and win on seeding.

My opening crypt draw was awful, containing no Anarch Converts. I had to dig twice
just to find the first one. So, there was a lot of early discarding of unplayable
cards. Fortunately, the Legacy deck never got one into play, which would have made
my victory impossible. Mark made somewhat quick work of John. In the four-player,
Alex allowed me to call two Diversity, which gave me 12 pool and Alex 8, with Mark
and Conner only gaining 2 pool each. I think it was a mistake for Alex to allow these
votes to go through.

The rest of the game was me crashing into Conner's vampires sometimes with stealth,
sometimes slap fighting. Eventually I oust Conner and continue against Mark in the
same way. Alex tried to deal with Mark to oust me and go heads up, but Alex was
already set up. Mark kept trying to make forward progress, even getting Alex to 3 pool.
Eventually, I got Mark next and conceded my VP to Alex, since I had no way of getting by
Henry Taylor.

I won on seeding in a 2-2-1 result.

-- 1GW5 (3rd seed) + 4VP in final

Deck Name: Hybrid Legionnaire 4.2

Most proud of this deck for the synergy between Mina, Thomasso,
Jake Washington, Shambler rush and Tye Cooper. Mina gets blood
when Tye eats vamps that the Shamblers torporize. She can push
blood to Thomasso with his special. If you push Mina's last
blood to him, you can pop Jake for her in the same phase.

This deck swarms fairly quickly with Shamblers and Legionnaires.
Called "Hybrid" because it uses burn-option cards in addition to
Specialization/Liquidation for dumping cards to power Legionnaires.
If I were to play it again, I might remove the Specializations in
exchange for a couple more Liquidations and a few Funeral Wakes.
That said, Specialization did save me from being ousted by Fame
in torpor in the final round, so it's hard to hate it.

Deck Name: (Sem título) (Manse awakens)
Description:
My second tournament win came about with a deck that I had been prepping for a
few months with very consistent results. The meta was very combat-heavy, which
I thought would be bad for me but somehow I survived. I guess playing
cautiously and trying not to do too much in early game is the secret to this
archetype.

Very minor changes to previous versions. It seems to be particularly important
for this deck to be as slim as possible, so I try to always keep it at 65

-- 1GW4 + 2.5VP in final

Deck Name: The Walking Dead
Created by: Delmar

Description: Samedi Trap + reanimated corpse
A very agressive deck, with a combination of rush and bleed 2 with zumbies.

Last table: Me > Maurão's multi rush Lorrie > Henrique's typhonic beast rush > Fabi's Goratrix Wall > Desso's low cap AUS.
A very very long game, with me beeing the bad guy. I got 2 VPs before my deck finished and somehow survived the rest of
the game (Fabi would get the table in the long run).

Goodies: Comparing with bleed actions, the reanimated corpse does the same damage per action, with the
same blood cost, and less cards (bleed + Govern + Conditioning = 6 pool dmg, costing 2 blood; the zumbies
do the same pool damage for the same cost and only 1 card). Because you spend a lot less slots to do the pool dmg,
you can use them in the form of combat cards that both zumbies and samedies can use, making this deck much harder
to deal with rush and intercept.

Badies: 1- No bleed Deflection! Must have Baroque to rush your predator if he/she is S&B; 2- S&B decks only need
to deal 15 or less damage to oust your first prey, before geting your first VP it is very possible that the entire table is
working against you and everybody can rescue vampires in torpor.

Changes: My deck ended in most my games, so more cards. The 8 and 9 cap vamps only slowed me down, so more of the
low cap ones. A version with anarch convert and revolt could be tested.

Deck made of 2 new Lasombra starters + about 10 cards. I mainly wanted to add
votes that punish big boards + some utility masters.
Deck made of 2 new Lasombra starters + about 10 cards. I mainly wanted to add votes that punish big boards + some utility masters. Small tournament recap.

First round: Gargoyles were behind me and Lasombra bleed in front. Many bleeds for 6 were deflected around the table. I was able to get one vp before defeat.

Second round: I was between Enkidu and Matasuntha:lol: .Girls deck luckily got Matasunthas attention and Enkidu was busy with legionaires. I was able to oust Matasuntha. Enkidu got himself to regent and did random rush to my poor Charles Delmare, one Entombment and diableri later Charles was the Regent. Game went to time with Girls deck ousting legionaires and former Enkidu.

Round three: I was bit worried when Maris Streck and Mathias with Heidelberg behind me. Luckily none of my vampires were stolen. I was able to oust Kiasyd shamblars in front of me with Ancilla Empowerement after they had ousted Animalism anarchs. I won heads up with !Nosferatu with zero relevant cards left in my hand or deck.

Final was weird game.
Game was me -> Setites -> GirlsDeck -> Louhi toolbox -> Capuching tremere bleed multiaction wall ->

I felt like after dealing 15 pool damage to the Setites they were still at 31 pool:(. I had to give table 9+9+6+6+6 pool with political Stranglehold to stay alive. Entombment shown earlier rounds kept Capuchin from bleeding few times. I drawed really nice sequence of bleed, stealth and votes after deflecting Enkil Cog bleed for 6 during my turn and was able to get oust. Game timed out bit later with me being most likely to drop next. We were playing with the rule of 10 min extra time/oust. That caused weird interaction since Tommi with the Girls deck could have gone after me to get one more turn to play even though he himself would not get oust since Louhi was in 10+ pool. Luckily for me he said no to shananigans

Some notes to added cards
Melinda should have been another Anton de Concepcion,
Ancient Influence and Reins power felt bit weak with 9 cap being usually biggest
Added ally hate felt good

Deck was fun and resilient. If I were to play it again, I would include one more anti-location card (either Unnatural Disaster or a second Dominate Kine) and one or two bits of intercept (maybe KRCG and an Eyes of the Night). Oh, and a Great Symposium would be a nice add as well.

-- 2GW5 + 4VP in final

Deck Name: Lions and Tigers and Legionnaires, Oh My!

Description: Grinder-style Emerald Legionnaire deck

When building this deck, I wanted to take the traditional Ventrue/!Ventrue grinder, replace the
Ventrue/!Ventrue with Harbingers and the Dominate with Emerald Legionnaires. There's not an even
math in that conversion, however. There's no good answer to Deflection, since all of the Auspex
bounce locks your vampires. Weighted Walking Sticks don't provide enough permanence nor enough
safety for your vampires lacking Fortitude. Furthermore, space has to be made for Spectral
Divination and Breath of Thanatos for their versatility. While I like the result, in the end, this
is probably just a fightier version of Martin Weinmayer's Emerald Dream.

I wasn't sure what people would play today, but I wanted good defense. I finished up the deck about
2 hours before the event, and found the right mix for today. The final had two fast bleed decks
that I knew about and two decks that I hadn't seen all day.

John M. (Toreador/!Toreador Anarch Toolbox) 0 VP ->
John E. (Dem Breed with Madman's Quill) 0 VP ->
Me 4 VP ->
Mark (Nocturn Bleed) 0 VP ->
Will (+Bleeders with AUS/OBF) 1 VP

I knew both Mark and Will were strong bleeders, having survived as prey to each deck, I didn't want
to risk that again. I was unsure of the other decks, so decided to be Mark's predator because I
hoped to be able to wear him down during his undirected Nocturn recruitments. I felt that was still
a risky choice. I don't have a lot of Eagle's Sight, so it was possible that Mark could have taken
3 VPs before I could get him under control.

Going third was perfect for me and I had a great crypt with four different vampires. I got Erebus
in play on turn 2 and on the next turn gave him a Guardian Angel and a Bowl of Convergence. I got
Maldavis in play next. Mark was only taking forward actions early and Will's Cornelius Ottavio had
standing 3 bleed vs. every deck on the table. My predator hit Erebus with a Pentex Subversion,
played Sibyl's Tongue to find a Conceal and immediately tried to burn the Bowl. Maldavis was barely
able to block it. Maldavis took an action to remove the Pentex and drew a block. Mark was going
forward very effectively and I had little to say about it. Will was trying to outrace his predator.
John M, my grand-predator, took two actions to remove the Pentex (Change of Target on the first),
then sunk a big bleed on John E. Erebus was able to block again and tried to do so with almost
every action my predator took. After a few feints, John E got a Creation Rites in play. At this
point, I got my first Legionnaire and then brought out Zygodat. Then knocked off the Creation Rites
with Scourge of the Enochians. Mark started to take undirected actions, as the Nocturns came up. I
wore down his vampires' blood totals (Obtenebration is expensive), but he made really good
progress. When it came to my turn again, I played another Legionnaire normally and mostly held off.
The pool totals are very low for both Will and John M. When a bleed of three gets bounced to me, I
decided that sending it to John M instead of my prey is the better long term move. If Will can get
a VP and I'm the last man standing, I'd win on seeding (or better). John M blocked, but that took
critical resources. On my turn, I Pentexed Mark's fourth vampire and sent my Legionnaires after The
Path of Night. Mark needs to take a lot of Nocturn actions and I lock every minion to keep Mark
from going forward. Will survives and is able to oust John M. John E hits me with a bleed that I
can't block, but doesn't have enough to really hurt me. I ousted Mark with Legionnaires and the
next turn got Will. John E's bloat machine was working well, but his minions were low on blood. I
had The Unmasking and four vampires and three Legionnaires. When I dropped Smiling Jack, John E
conceded with ~30 minutes left in the final.

The critical play, in my mind, was recognizing that I needed to throw John M off the island and let
Will have a VP and the extra pool that comes with it.

Deck Name: The Capitalist are coming!

Background: So, originally was going to play a Harbinger deck, but there were several at the tournament. Contesting is an easy way to lose, so swap to Kiasyd.

This is simply my power bleed Kiasyd (there many on TWDA). I doubled up on the group 4-5 Kiasyd to make Song of Pan more potent.

Note: Could be less, but I was worried about running out of steam on bloat machines.

Note: No pool gain, you need all the blood on the vampires to pay for cards, thus The Coven and Capitalist.

Note: This is all bleed, you never Govern down unless it nets you +1 Vampire.

Note: Combat could happen, but really this is for Song of Pan.

Deck Name: Die By The Blade

My latest iteration of !Salubri. I had never even tried !Salubris before the
release of Castiel, which is the main vampire I want in this deck. Combat
grinder, flaming blades of Bellona and you can be sure that your cause is
Righteous. Ps. Deck name comes from the new song from Beast in Black.

Deck Name: Valkyries with Veles Hunt

Final Table: Alex Orzulak (Goratrix and Kazimir Savostin Black Hand toolbox) -> Brandon Haas (Tupdogs Bruise bleed) -> Ian Lee (!Malk stealth bleed with EMPs) -> Mark Jasper (G5-6 Samedi rush combat) -> David Anderson (Brunhilde and Valkyrie Anarch Vote)


Valkyries vote spam, with some bleed. Light stealth. I think I got really lucky
to win with this. It's mostly a pile of cards I threw together the night
before. It really could use a LOT more tuning. The votes that are in there are
a smattering of stuff I wanted to try out. It could use a bit more combat
defense (maybe S:CE and agg hands), and a couple fewer Master cards. Firebrand
is great! Ennoia's Theater is fantastic since Dreams always gets contested.

Deck Name: the Hoody Gang

Basically every game is like being in a tunnel with the light at the very end.
Survive and let others die while u build up permacept and try to influence your
second puncher; let them underestimate the blocking capacities of the deck
and kill whatever is left on the table, preferably gaining pool with mata special.

removed the dragonbound for a wash (vs Pentex) but it needs to go in again.
bleeding on a prey with 12 pool and 6 minions in torpor is kinda annoying slow.

Deck Name: The Devils Dogs

The deck is based around the deck "Bad Dreams" by Noora Hirvonen. Huge thanks to her for inspiration and for making me to want to play the deck after witnessing it in action at the Berlin EC 2017.

Made some changes to the deck list to better suit my play style and personal preference. Also there were some card availability issues, which is why there is no Contagion and there is some Aire of Elations, as I did not have enough Sense the Sins. Although I got one oust because of that, as I had Aire to play after one Sense got DI'd.

Big thanks to Jyri Puhakka too, for selling me the idea of playing New Blood. It was key to the victory during finals!

Marked Terriories and Abbot are in the deck to basically be "Unleash Hell's Fury" number 4 and 5. And the synergy between Alex Camille and Abbot is super nice. Making the deck a bit more resilient with the larger amount of S:CEs

Deck Name: !Ventrue waiting game

"- You're mighty close about this affair, Mr. Holmes. What's the game now?
- A waiting game."
The Hound of the Baskervilles - Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

This is a !ventrue grinder deck. I have made some minor modifications to have
the right tools to current meta (lots of anarchs, allys, revolts etc.). With
Retribution on your hand, you can trick your predator and not bounce instead
take the bleed in and torporize the bleeder later on your master phase.

Deck Name: Girls will find... Liquidity

With Martin's and Bram's success with the Black Jack deck, I wanted to build my own (post-Anthelios) Girls deck to try out the archetype. The way I see it, with Anthelios gone, you'll probably want more than the traditional 9 Ashurs to ensure that you won't be milling your last set. But with too many Ashurs you'll never get to the point where you can really alter your deck composition in a meaningful way with your recursion. So my answer was to go up in Liquidations. The pool gain is also helpful especially considering the nerfing of Villein.
I ended up trying out several silver bullet kind of cards that I knew would be only marginally useful, but with the idea being to mill them to the ash heap and only bring them back if needed, I thought the opportunity cost was pretty low. None of them were really critical and if I play the deck again I'll probably try to cut the deck size down to 80-ish.

This is the very focused bleeddeck with a few very simple principles.
1 Hand management: have minimum amout of cards that can clog, and cards that increase card options. low amount of masters also helps.
2 Blood management: other masters are to keep the machine rolling.
3 Bleed management: Well Duh! all the other cards are for bleeding

The idea is to defend and play cards so that more and more legionnaires can come into play. Enough stealth to also bring them into play normally, which adds to the total number of legionnaires one can play in the game. In my rush I forgot to add Vagabound mystic and FBI Special Affairs Division

Deck Name: GoraTRIX

The deck is ancient and I have no idea the original author is! I would be more
than happy to credit him/her.

My version has a couple more enhanced senses than usual. Less eyes of argus->
more sense the savage way(I just love the card) and some read the winds,
because they are awesome with Goratrix. Goratrix loves his untaps, so I have
26+Mylan. Also in my opinion Anastasz di Zagreb is too expensive for what it
does and Devin is awesome, so a little switch-a-roo there.

Deck Name: Anarch Diary (Firesale Remix)
Description: Anarch Khazar's Diary Deck

Updated from my Origins version, where I missed the finals on tournament points. I added more
cards, dropping most of my stealth for Liquadation and Sudario Refraction. The minimal stealth
worked well today, but the key to both rounds that the deck performed well in was to get a
Khazar's into play before my predator or prey had any minions to block with.

As I expected it was an ally heavy day with the final having 3 ally decks:
Alex (Garou) 1.5 VP ->
Mariya (Anneke/Anson toolbox) 0 VP ->
Me 1.5 VP ->
Mark (Shamblers and Hookers) 0 VP ->
Jeff (Gargoyle Razor Bat wall) 0.5 VP

I actually didn't play The Unmasking in the final because of Mark's allies, though he played it a
turn later. Alex had the first oust, but the Diary was primed by that point. I kept whittling Mark
down to 1 pool and putting more wraiths into play, hoping to lunge and get both Mark and Jeff in a
single turn. As time wound down, I got Mark, but on 5 actions I couldn't get a single wraith bleed
to succeed against Jeff. Realizing the with little time remaining my best bet was to turtle up as
both my predator and prey ganged up on me and I could do very little against 4 minions with
standing intercept. I could have probably lasted only a few more turns, but timed was called.

Thanks to Orpheus for a few tips on the deck.

For certain decks I've upped my Converts from 5/13 to 6/13; proved useful for this deck.

Deck Name: Anu's Legion

Final: Mark Jasper (Anu and Legionairres)
 -> Lev Jasper (Unnamed Barrenness Twister)
 -> Kenneth Davenport (Camarilla Followers of Set stealth vote)
 -> David Anderson (Nergal Force of Will Bleedzooka)
 -> Rick Phillips (G2-3 Anarch Tremere/Tremere Anti Toolbox)

Description: A more bleedy version of the Legion of Skulls deck I won with in June. That deck was a bit slow so this one is trying to get faster ousts by using Anu Dipnitatpa's special ability. Bring out a Harbinger or two, some Legionairres and then Anu to make all of their bleeds for 2. Soul Feasting and some other blood gain stuff to refill Anu. Didn't draw Anu in the final, but I had the top seed and managed to oust my brother with 1 minute to spare. I actually think the version I won with in June is better, since it is less threatening and more versatile. Legionairres are awesome. Very strong, but not overpowered.

Deck Name: Ennustaja

Based on Goratrix EC 2015 Day 2: Goratrix Anarch build by Marcin
Watras (wargrim) which in turn is based on Goratrix builds created by
Tomasz Kowalewski and Alain Greiner.

Slight modifications were made to suit the Ropecon tournament
environment, mainly some combat added:P

Devin Bisley was replaced by Anton because of +1 intercept and the
ability to play Sense the Savage Way.

Also, why 88 cards? Well, I bought 100 lucky shields from Mallorca ->
put 12 to a crypt -> lost the crypt somewhere -> still, they are lucky
shields so..

And finally, thanks to Tuukka for borrowing some cards for me!:D Go V:tES!!

Deck Name: Anson Gunz

-- 2GW7.5 + 2.5VP in final.

switched a little bit the crypt after the last tournament to include more
weenies and seems to work better. The problem of the deck is that you strongly
rely on bleeds for 1, so you need to be a little bit opportunistic with the
kills and do not hesitate to deal the points on the table with someone capable
to help you. If there is some deck that bloats much, do not hesitate to do
whatever is needed to avoid him from bloating. Bloat = you loose.

Deck Name: Haamujengi - Always the right answer.
Description:
As already discused in Deck clinic. Alafin is what makes the deck go.
The ability has to be used to it's fullest, so don't give out free discards to others when they need them. You have to be smart about it...
You will be milling yourself so much that you don't get to play every card in the deck.
But you will be able to use the right cards at the right time, so don't get distracted with things that are "good".
Focus on the cards that will actually win you the game.
Also plan ahead, you have enough recursion to get the things you need, but most of the time you need a turn or 2 to get there, so plan your actions correctly and don't get caught on the critical one.
Overly simplified: If you are thinking: Should I discard to Alafin? The answer is yes... it will get you more Legionnaires and you can get everything back if you really need it...

Deck Name: Crows and Bats

As I don't like tweaking good solid decks before playing them, and since it's
the first time I was playing it, it is the list Orian gave me of the deck he
played on the French NC day 1, give or take 3 cards. I did the following
changes: - 1 Pentex +1 Lifeboon and- 2 Underbridge Sray +2 Canine Horde. I know
that Orian adores his little puppies, but I don't. My changes were minor...
Pentex for Lifeboon is a matter of taste. For this tournament, Lifeboon was
useless and I would have prefered a Pentex. It's less versatile than Pentex but
it can always give an opportunistic GW. All the rest is the same, one could
slightly tweak the fight on 5 cards I'd say.

Deck Name: Legion of Skulls

Description: Legionnaires are awesome. You really just need to recruit one and
keep one alive. The rest can come from your ash heap as it grows. The first one
costs 1 pool, the rest only cost 7 cards from your ash heap each. Liquidation
is key, as it gives you 3 pool and pays the cost of Legionairres. Vengeful
Spirits are lovely too. Very fun deck. Hooray for new cards and a TWD featuring
Harbingers of Skulls!

Deck Name: Pictures at an Exhibition

Description: Based entirely around abusing Baba Yaga's untap special. Suffers from the star-syndrome, and is completely Pentex-sensitive.

This is way, way thicker a master package than I like to run, but at least 7 are trifles and I expect 5-6 to be clear discards or Heart fodder. But the acceleration is pretty important in getting the deck to function quickly enough to be a factor in the mid-game.
-- I've gone back and forth on Monastery of Shadows in this deck. I've omitted it for now, simply because of the 3-pool cost. The deck could also run a Smiling Jack, but I loathe the way that card makes me play when it's in front of me (or for that matter, anywhere else.)
-- I pulled a Bleeding the Vine for Wash just before heading to Origins. It usually sat in my hand because Pentex exists. Jake Washington was also a late addition, not useful in these 3 games, but low blood totals tend to hamstring this deck.

I thought there was a Flak Jacket in here, but it must have gotten culled for additional transient prevention and untaps.

The bleed retainers are the source of the real offense in the deck, adding to the 3 minions with +1 bleed. At least once per game, Baba Yaga will fire off an Archon-able bleed without any coverage from the Owl Companion. I just press the big red button and hope for the best.

Yes, I know the bounce package is pathetically weak. But Baba Yaga seems to prefer blocking. So I've focused instead on reactions that give both intercept and true untap. Baba Yaga standing tall with 1-3 intercept and 4-5 strength seems to be a significant deterrent to continuing actions.

Deck Name: A Question of When
Created by: Darby Keeney

Description: Starts slowly with some Anarch Revolt pressure and bleeds of 1-2, ramps output with permanents and increasingly dense combat in the late game (Ashur Tablet cycles).

Nana and/or Aksinya tend to drive defense and make opportunistic offensive moves. Smaller minions do most bleeding/rushing in the midgame.

-- Omitting Carlton Van Wyk was a grave error, rectified during this write-up.

Only expected to need 1-2 cycles of Tablets and I was concerned that 2 more would interrupt card flow early in the game. I couldn't go with more acceleration for the same reason, It's also necessary to jettison Masters early in most games, even at "only" 34 cards.
-- The pair of untap locations are mostly used if Aksinya shows in the opening crypt.

Unfortunately, this deck is almost exclusively 1 action per minion per turn with a light reaction package, I had to lean away from a loads of permacept. The Sport Bike above replaces one Raven Spy, because it can be moved and it leverages that tiny bit of untap following equip actions.

Red Question proved to be great. Nana converted mid-action and dropped Monkey Wrench on a Codex bleed in the final. It can also be played after combat on a blocked action, so it's easy to crank out a safety net for the Revolts. Clears the hand easily (burn option or Powerbase:LA) if not needed.

I'm pretty casual about blocking unless permacept AND an untap location come up early. Backrushing remains a control option if the defense angle isn't enough.

-- 1GW6 + 2VP in final

Deck Name: Cardinal BeneDICKtion

This deck was built around a conversation I saw on a group about how cardinal
benediction is an inferior card. I just felt that was asinine so I combined it
with some of the most heinous cards in the game to create this little
monstrosity. Fear of Mekhet, Pentex, Banishment, Conceal, Scalpel Tongue,
Disarming Presence and Derange can all be game breaking cards at the right
time. The deck is at its best with an aggressive prey as it can just play the
unassuming role and be at 20+ pool before doing anything of note.

The final was definitely this case as I had a Lasombra stealh bleed prey and a
Mambo Jeanne beat face cross table to scare everyone. I was able to get a
reverse win with my predator going first then his predator and so on. By time
the stealth bleed prey got his VP I was sitting comfortably at around 40 pool
after turns of black forest and capping with Armin's special.

The recursion from Waste Management Operation is essential as there aren't a ton
of offensive votes in the deck. Once in play it needs to be used every turn to
push offensive votes and the right modifiers back into your deck. Protected
resources slows the game down and often times discourages your prey from
attempting to bleed.

Gurchon Hall doesn't need to be in the deck as I never got any mileage out of it.
Probably better off being another Minion Tap or offensive vote. Probably Ancilla
Empowerment with the current Ally heavy climate.

Deck Name: Dream a Little Dream

Description: A Sabbat variant of my 'Vitel and Friends' deck.

This deck was played in an environment that almost never sees Ashur Tablets.
The goal is to have a complete set of Ashur Tablets by the mid-game, but the
second set (each coming with less than 3 cards left in my library) proved key
to each game win that I earned. My intent was mostly to recycle Dreams of the
Sphinx, Dream World, and stealth, which happened for the first set. The second
sets were all stealth as the environment had more intercept than I expected.

Sunset Strip, Hollywood was key to my Blood Doll farming in game two, but all
my Dolls were Vesseled away in the finals. I managed to have vote lock or with
Powerbase: Madrid enough votes to pass my Con Boons whenever I wanted them. In
the finals I had 14 minions. With the plus-bleed from Dream World, I managed to
get Procurers in on the bleed action, too, which is one reason I use them over
other tech.

Could probably be pruned to 80 cards. Should also consider another Gustaphe instead of one Anton as Gustaphe is downright amazing. Oh, and one Carrion Crows should really be Aid from Bats instead - I somehow counted the cards wrong when making the deck but this is what I won with.

Deck Name: Royal Kebab (sauce blanche)
Created by: Orpheus

Description: They make the best Kebab In Town !

Yes, the Assamites belong in the Camarilla and they can vote better than most ! ^^
I made many versions of this deck. It used to be Assamites only with Tegyrius merged also, but his absence of Obf is too dangerous in the current meta. So I mixed with some Malks and pumped up on the stealth.
I should probably get back to 4 Al-Ashrad advanced in 13 vamps, or maybe in 12 if I really want Maris too.
The reste of the deck worked liked a charm, maybe I could add a Telepathic Misdirection and / or an Eye of Argus, they can be cycled easily enough with Rebekah. I used to play Telepathic Vote Counting but with the locs I usually can pass or deal my votes.

Created by: Aki Puolakka



Bleed Big, Vote Big, Hit Big, So Many Oust Mechanisms!

Never used Josef von Bauren, might change him for Dieudonne/Brunelle/Benjamin.

Not sure about Army of Rats either, there seems to be always a “better” action
to make.

Currently it’s a tool box, it could be more bleedy or votery or combaty…

So many options, very versatile base for a deck. Also, the whole crypt has
really really good abilities.

Deck Name: The Tremere War Chantry

Oldschool, balanced fair deck. Slow & steady.
Bored of "Villein for 11, Giant's Blood, superior Govern,
Freak Drive, Scouting Mission, Freak, Mind Rape, Freak, Banishment on your deflecter+push+cap+Freak, bleed for 5+."-games?

This deck mainly bleeds for 1's, while acting like the Tremeres always do. They must be hiding something really scary,
as they don't seem to be doing much. Truth being, they just don't do much.

Deck Name: Royal with Cheese

Description: A deck built around the cheese-shaped discipline (Protean) and votes, hence the deck name. The deck relies on very versatile cards and is able to adapt to many situations.
It is a bit slow to build up, but it is not necessarily a bad thing as you don't want to be the bad guy too early. The deck has some hand jam problems, another Heart of Nizchetus could help.
Also, I spent 3 rounds wondering why I wasn't drawing any Pentex Subversion. I really don't know why there is not any in this deck.

Adana is the real star of the deck because she has everything needed. You must be careful with Hardestadt until he gets his Protean skill because he has access to 9 less S:CE.
// Aksinya helps surviving bleed decks and cycles the extra Zillah's Valley or Wider View you may draw. André is very nice when you can't afford another high-cap vampire,
// or if you can afford him in extra, and a 10 hand size (with the Monastery) is awesome.

Deck Name: Semi-Turbo Capuchin

Thanks to Martin Schumacker for playing a similar deck a couple of times on
Lackey and giving me the inspiration to make this deck. The core idea from
Martin is to use Coroner's Contact to pull out whatever Samedi (4 in deck) are
left in the crypt and use Soul Gem with 100% chance of drawing another
Capuchin. You give the Capuchin Obfuscate, the Soul Gem, and Villein down to 2.
Then do the classic Force of Will bleed with Daring the Dawn at inferior and
Conditioning to bleed for 7, unblockable by vampires, burn the Capuchin and get
a new unlocked Capuchin to Villein later. This deck can bloat a ton! Use Under
My Skin (on two actions each) to stealth past allies. Obviously, rushing
allies like Ossian and Garous are really bad news for this deck since Samedi
besides Baroque (Auspex!) have no intercept. The Capuchin is the star, so if
he goes to torpor you’re toast. Best strategy is to be patient, wait until all
Samedi are in uncontrolled region, blocking some actions with the Capuchin when
you have Obedience and bouncing bleeds while looking innocent and staying good
on pool. Then, when you’re prey gets down to 10 pool or so, Villein down to 3,
Magic out the Soul Gem, and have two left to pay for Force of Will and
Conditioning, get a new Capuchin and repeat, semi-turbo style. Fun deck to
play.
1.5VP in final (won tiebreaker as 2nd seed).

Deck Name: !Ventrue Toolbox

The classic !Ventrue grinder, but geared towards Under Siege. Fortitude to
deal with the occasional nasty combat deck, bounce for bleed or blocking,
and some permacept to wear down stealth decks. I chose to focus on using
more Governs over pool recursion in order to reliably get out more minions
and also have extra bleed. The Govern chain is optimized for multiple
Governs at DOM per turn, situation permitting.

Deck Name: Scout

Description: Stealth vote with tricks

My take on the archetype. I ditched Undele and Ashurs relatively early on as I
found them too slow and switched to a more Parity Shift focused style adding 2
extra princes (thanks for the tip on Karen Shan). Get lots of minions, keep the
pool lower so you can Zillah's to Parity Shift, and then Lily Prelude or
Reckless for the knock out.

Shatterings didn't really play that much of a part this weekend but they're a
great add on module. The two Heart of the City - thanks Julian - were also a
better bleed module than adding legal manipulations, with those and the
Legendary Vampires I usually had someone who could bleed for 3 at stealth - a
great plan since 94

Deck Name: The Dark Side of Politics

You normally need to bring out Giotto first, so that he can equip with the
Kaymakli Fragment, which will allow you to put titled vampires in play in a
cheaper way. Use Giotto's discard special ability in order to get the cards you
need, bearing in mind that you should be able to retrieve them later by means
of the Ashur Tablets. In case of a strong political opposition, discard some or
all political actions in your hand, and play Condemnation: Mute on the vampires
who deserve it, until you get the vote lock. The Textbook Damnation is in the
deck so that another vampire with Fortitude can also equip with the Kaymakli
Fragment and help Giotto move up to 6 blood down on a single turn.

Deck Name: The Tremere War Chantry

Oldschool, balanced fair deck. Slow&steady.
Bored of "Villein for 11, Giant's Blood, superior Govern,
Freak Drive, Scouting Mission, Freak, Mind Rape, Freak, Banishment on your deflecter+push+cap+Freak, bleed for 5+."-games?

This deck mainly bleeds for 1's, while acting like the Tremeres always do. They must be hiding something really scary,
as they don't seem to be doing much. Truth being, they just don't do much.

Deck Name: Mal's Wall of Fatties

Description: Use Malgorzata's special to get the Capuchin out, then Lord Tremere, wall up and make them obey. Use Magics to get the Capuchin the Erebus Mask, get somebody the Bowl of Convergence or Signet of King Saul if you need it and Heart of Nizchetus if not. Get a Sniper Rifle if there are big caps out there (since they don't obey). Block and bounce carefully. Act recklessly only if you have Mirror Walk in hand. Bloat as needed, tool up, and bleed/vote your prey to death. Allies are bad (they don't obey either), but there are two Far Mastery's, at least, and you have a 9 card hand (or more when you have a Dreams or the Monastery). Lord Tremere gives Mal an extra action and so do Rutor's Hands. Dedicated rush combat is obviously your biggest threat (though the Obediences stop that too as long as they are in your hand and it isn't Enkidu or another 11-cap rusher). I actually had a multi-rush Lazverinus, Thrall of Lambach, deck as my predator in the first round, but he was so busy rushing his stealth bleed predator and grand predator (after his predator was ousted), that he never had a chance to rush me. I actually bled out my prey (when it was down to the two of us) one second before the game timed out. Fun times.

Deck Name: Maris' Rivers of Blood (Years of Darkness)

Heavily based on VENI VIDI VICI (Malkavian Princes) by Danilo Torrisi
http://www.secretlibrary.info/index.php?deck=view&id=20267

Replaced a banned card with a Wash and added 2x No Trace for Berkeley's combat-heavy meta. The S:CE came in handy when mobile intercept trumped my “measly” stealth... Still didn't beat Rötschreck, which hit Maris AND Orlando in the final.
Maris, Lutz, and Mental Maze are great deterrents to keeping Madness Network on the table (yeah duh I know, but I seldom play with or against Maris OR Lutz, and seeing people's ire toward them was eye-opening).
I only used My Kin Against the world once (in game 1), with Lutz and Maris. Discarded the rest; would have been way better if I had more Malks, but hey an extra action is an extra action (plus prey burns 1 pool with Lutz out), right?

Deck Name: Guido Leatherface

Took 3GW+10VP in preliminary rounds in Ropecon EQC 2017, Finland Helsinki. Won finals with time as top seed, 0.5VP.

The Finnish title for every iteration is just 'Guido Kuolematon', no matter what's in there. Always remember to add one Guido in there to make it a Guido deck. The rest is pretty much irrelevant.

In here I was initially thinking of ways to deal with Weenie Animalism. Beast is pretty much a free minion for you when Governed down, and deals with 3 blood animalismers with a single Slam!. Put the guys in the freezer to keep up with the blood race.

Rest of the time? Remember all those times when the cross table Obfuscate voter goes to 1 blood with bloody everything after rescues, no one plays interaction and they win the game the next turn? They're not playing a single combat card. Neither does Beast have to.

For extra fun times Beast is always the one who drains Pentexes. You don't really have to worry about that. As long as it's not Angelica or Gratiano you're good to go. It's not that the deck suffers if you're not playing Beast. And you can always beg for removals from cross table... Anyways, you'll get to dodge Pentex with your REAL vampires (coughguidocough) and bleed with Govern.

The crypt around Beast could be whatever. 6 Slams and Beast is all you need. Just don't think you'll have to commit a game plan on him. Don't. This could just as well be Euro Brujah. Or Arika turbo. Or Huitzi MMPA.

Put the deck together in an evening and changed a lot of cards on a whim 15 minutes before the tournament. Should use more Obfuscate and there's some room for weird tinkerings.

Deck Name: Big Gangrel

My Gangrel IC deck has been a staple for a long time. My recent update was
influenced by Martin Weinmayer's NAC deck. Your kill combo is Parity Shift +
Govern the Unaligned + Conditioning. Several fun tricks in the deck. First game
in the tournament, my predator was a power bleed deck. He Pentex Subversioned
my first vampire and then hit me for multiple bleeds for 5. He got me down to 2
pool before I came back to take all the VPs and the Game Win. This deck
survives way better than I expected with considerable pool gain. In the Finals,
I got to choose my predator and prey which gave me an overwhelming advantage.
The deck is a little too dependent on strike: combat ends and I will probably
add a Secure Haven.

Notes:
 Jake Washington	 - The Combo is with Vessel, but generic blood gain is good.
 Metro Underground	 - Fun with Enkil Cog but good after bleeding to setup bleed bounce.
 Pentex Subversion	 - Not great, because you never want to block the (D) action.
 Perfectionist	 - Free Govern the Unaligned.
 Zoo Hunting Ground	 - Two hunting grounds in play is very nice.
 Carlton Van Wyk - One of your best defense cards against Combat rush.
 Form of Mist	 - My ratio of combat cards is something I stole from Martin W.
 Heart of Nizchetus	 - Good, but not necessary.
 Seal of Veddartha	 - Better than the Heart.
 Scourge of the Enochians - played but never mattered.
 Banishment	 - This gets rid of problems and can cause more pool loss than Parity Shift.
 Guard Dogs	 - Fun with Enkil Cog, can get you to long range, and works with bounce.

Deck Name: Necrospace

For the best results, alter mustache to all vampires. All of them.
The most important thing (after mustache) playing this deck is to not die.
Storage Annex just isn't worth it. Extra hand size isn't an effect, it's just utility, and should be taken as such.
Charigger is pretty nifty if you're seated next to another Nocturne deck, but that's not often. Could be something else.
Shroud of Night is good, but should probably be a third piece of Spectral Divination and Shroud of Absence - that it can't be used in bleeds is pretty devastating after all.
Even with so much boring Dominate, it's actually a lot of fun to play!

Deck Name: Ishtarri Need No Bounce! (2017 version)

This is the 2017 version of my deck. Minor tweaks to the 2016 version that made
finals of Day 2 NAC 2016. The theme of the deck is to abuse meta where there is
minimal intercept. Lesson Learned: Maybe a Storage Annex to hold master cards
(since doing so many actions) and Talbot's Chainsaw.

Deck Name: German ECQ 2017 (1st place): Matasuntha's unbound heart

This deck is a modified version of the one I played at the Grand-Prix in Budapest 2016 (https://www.secretlibrary.info/index.php?deck=view&id=22512).
It is very hard to force a GW (or sometimes even a VP) with it.
Wait for your chance, keep people guessing what your deck is able to do (and what not).
Heart of Nizchetus will help you waiting, Enkil Cog will increase your chances.

Deck Name: Good Old PRO-DOM

Entire crypt starts w/PRO; some have dom. Handful of dom skill cards, lots of
Govern. Decent bleeding, very decent blocking in the late game, some bouncing;
decent combat survivability. Iliana stars as prime actor; Caitlin supports as
primary blocker. This is a well-tested deck. The Weather Control is for Raptor
Decks, which are all too common in my local group, but it can double as stout
combat defense when coupled with a Flesh of Marble. Fun to play.

Deck Name: Ahrimanes Rule of Four

Description: My Ahrimanes take on my "Toreador Rule of Four" deck. Ahrimanes
lose bounce and titles but gain more stealth and more blocking. Lesson Learned:
The Claws of the Dead are a good surprise but should probably just be Force of
Personality. Lesson Learned: To give prey hard choices - Pentex Loves You could
replace Fear of Mekhet.

Alex Romano won the Last Chance Qualifier at Origins in 2015 with this deck and
I finally got a win with it myself. It abuses Malgorzata's special ability to
get out big vampires at a discount. It doesn't seek combat, but has a robust
'hit-back' module to discourage those who do.

Deck Name: Matasuntha & Enkidu, a true bromance.

Bring out Matasuntha asap and play a passive wall early and mid game, keep a low profile.
Block strategically, try to totally destroy at least 1 vampire of your predator as deterrent.
Bleed with Matasuntha when you can, he doesn't need to stay untapped.
When your prey's vampires are all in torpor, bring out a small cap vamp/Imbued to bleed.
Bring out Enkidu for the end game, if you bring him out too early, you lose your low profile and become a serious table threat.
Pool gain is slow, but defense is stable as long as you have Matasuntha ready, helps with keeping a low profile.
Table talk only when needed and don't be too aggressive in table talk, we're keeping a low profile.

Darby Keeney
https://www.vekn.net/event-calendar/event/8581

Deck Name: Farley Mowat
Created by: Darby Keeney, original design though not unlike Roberto Venturi's 2011 entry in the TWDA.

Finals seating: Saulot Hide the Heart (Faye, 4th) --> Scobax (Kelly, 1st) --> Khazar (Darby, 2nd) --> Turbo Baron (Fletcher, 5th) --> Daughers Lily Prelude (Raj, 3rd).

An immediate Pentex and bad opening draw shafted the Baron, gaining both Khazar's and Lily Prelude momentum for early VPs - also importantly removing one of the 2 decks that would re-actively screw with minion actions/blood totals.

The game devolved into never-ending Scobax vs lots of actions from 2 players. The Daughters were 1 turn from being ousted pretty much the whole endgame but I had no intention seeing Raj below 6 pool until a few Wraiths reached play or Kelly was ousted. Kelly felt it necessary to Scobax every Wraith attempt, so I was happy to fully occupy his attention and allow Raj's votes to keep Kelly in a defensive bloat/block posture - even when Charming Lobbies hit the table.

The Khazar's deck ended with with no Embraces, no Wraiths, a prey with no library and 5 pool, but holding 1.5 VP for the game win from 2nd seed. A postmortem suggested reversing my position with Kelly's might improved his situation, or that opting to bleed (hard) immediately on entering the 3 player game might have yielded a different result. Either way, I felt this was a very well--played final from all involved and enjoyed the game completely.

My copy of Lia Milliner somehow evaporated from the cypt (Graverobbed somewhere?). She's back after seeing omission.

Really needs Master trimming with inclusion of one Direct Intervention - but honestly it was the Liquidations and Embraces that transformed the deck into something worthy of tournament play. With the Liquidations came the need for more MPA, hence Parthenon. Getting to 15 Masters with DI would be optimal.

A mix of rush and defensive minions with a potent anti-equipment twist

Deck Name: Stick Men BUT with 0 surprises

This deck is the definition of unoriginal but a really good deck if you're
trying to learn a lot about the game with just one build. Ultra resilient and
only a couple of real weaknesses. The ability to consistently get 3-4 DOM
vampires with no real threat to your own pool can't be understated. Launching
3-4 bleeds of 6 a turn tends to be unstoppable as they can only archon one.

None of this is news and I don't think I need to give much analysis on the
ability of this deck as everyone has been ousted by it at some point or another
by now.

Deck Name: Eat the rich

The idea is to force the bleed of 1 to use Propaganda with the anarchs. Then
call the political action with the Propagandas if needed. The strong of the
deck is to oust others vote decks as soon as he can as they cant do much to
respond Eat the rich that make great use of the bleeds (2 votes when edge is
burned) and Propagandas. The deck uses only Obfuscate.

PT-BR - A ideia é forçar o bleed mesmo de apenas um para encher a mesa de
propaganda pelos anarchs. Logo, fazer votações pelas propagandas se necessário.
O ápice do deck é acabar com outros decks de votação o quanto antes, já que não
podem responder muito usando as eat the rich, a qual, também ganha força com a
vantagem do bleed, que além de permitir a queima do edge por 2 votos, coloca
propaganda. O deck usa apenas ofuscação, o que ajuda a passar as ações.

Deck Name: Montano Purge/Mind Rape
Created by: Akseli Jalava

Here's the list I played to get 3VP + 2.5VP in the prelims and glorious 0,5VP
in the finals to win the whole deal. The author of the deck is Akseli
Jalava; we switched decks prior to the tournament and I got the better end of
the deal, apparently.

The seating in the finals was:
Matti - weenie Malks with Madness Network and Talbot's Chainsaw (drawing no copies of either in the finals)
Petri - g5-6 Khazar's Diary with lots of Wraith-tech
me - Montano Purge/Mind Rape
Jukka - !Brujah anarch stealth bleed (Undue Influence+Power of One+Spoils of War)
Tommi - Eldest are Kholo breed/boon

2 hours, some passionate discussion and 2 Autarkis Persecutions later, no-one
got ousted, so I won as the highest seed. My game was basically ruined by
Petri's Calrton burning my Montano, but Petri didn't get to do the actions to
put out the wraiths to oust me because of weenie malks with permanent
intercept. Tommi was the closest to be ousted: constant pressure by Jukka's
!Bru bleeders plus 2 Delaying Tactics by Jukka during the same turn got Tommi
to 1 pool before he bounced back to healthy 20-ish pool total in one turn.

I'd suggest dropping Lucita for 3rd Moncada and adding probably at least one
Villein. Camarilla Vitae Slave is cute but not worth the effort. Monastery
should probably be in there, too.

Deck Name: Chealth Bleese

Kenneth had a commanding start to the final, ousting two preys before being seriously threatened.

Other qualifying finalists:
Mark Jasper
David Anderson
Brandon Haas
Alex Orzulak

Nothing new here, it's based on Alexander Båskman's Glöggturnering: "Don't stop me now" deck. It's really the same thing, but swapping a Great Symposium for a Sudden Reversal.

The Dreams really help you deck yourself, which I did in 2 of 3 games (incl the 5-person final). Noteworthy that each tournament round had only 4-player tables, while the Final table had 5 players.

Deck dubbed "Chealth Bleese" by Rick Phillips, "Because it's like cheesy stealth bleed!" Many thanks to the Undead Persistence of the V:tES community that provided the resources to steal my first tournament win!

Concept: Temptation is good in a meta where large vamps are quickly influenced and then nearly emptied with Minion Tap and Villein. The mega-political actions should be called while borrowing your neighbor's biggest vampire.

-- 3VP in final

Final table:
Marko (Lasombra Wormwood Baltimorepurge Toolbox) -->
Ilari (Giovanni Powerbleed) -->
Jukka (Dementation Anarch stealth bleed) -->
Jyri (Blackhand Dementation Bleed with Anu Diptinatpa -->
Lauri (me) (Lord Tremere Toolbox)


This was first tournament arrange in one of our new players (Tero Aalto, he
started playing last march, but was already playing at the EC in Genoa) home at
Töölö, Helsinki. Nice residence and works for a small tournaments, with 2-3
tables top. We got 11 players turning up, but one opted to leave before the
start and see the new Star Wars instead, so Thanks to HG for that. We played
two rounds and Final then with 10 players.

Preliminary rounds only had 1 GW, in those four games, and that was by Jukka
with 2vp eventhough he was ousted in that game, so all the tables went Time.
Marko won his place in final by coin toss (dice roll) over Henna-Riikka(one of
the two tournament first timers). And Jyri won third seed agianst me in coin
toss (dice Roll). Ilari was second seed (another tournament first timer) and
Jukka with only GW of course was the first seed.

So me and Marko sat at the table, and Jyri opted to bleed me, then Ilari opted
to bleed Jyri and finaly Jukka went between Ilari and Jyri. Marko was diced to
be the starter.

I had personally really bad start and didn’t get Malgorzata on starting crypt,
and actually opted to buy new vampire twice before even getting her, and well
so it was turn 5 when I finaly got my first vampire, everyone else had 3-5
minions by that time, and my predator had bled me twice by bleeds of four, so I
really didn’t expect to win.

However my predator got enough pressure by his predator that I manage to get
Malgorzata up and Villein, then start using her special ability to bring Lord
Tremere up and Villein him too, even with Wormwood by my prey lowering capacity
down to 7-8.

Even then the Giovanni with four vampires including Le Dinh Tho, manage to oust
his prey and even next one, while my prey with the Lasombra gave a little
pressure to him, finaly allowing me to do timely oust with bleeds and Anarchist
Uprising.

If I had not manage to oust Marko then, I propably would not have survived his
and Ilaris turn, but with that timely oust, I did have the upper hand, and
manage to put all of Ilaris vampires into Torpor and win the came about 10
minutes before time, earning me Tournament win, and my first TWDA entry without
Nana Buruku featured in my decklist.

Winners decklist:

This deck is similar to EC Genoa winners Pau Vilars, so thanks to him and others who had played similar decks before

Description: Go fast, go hard. Unless Dreams help you get a new minion it is used to draw cards to help you draw payload and allow you to multi act with your minions. In a more combat heavy meta I wouldnt play the pb: Montreal. Scalpel tongue and force of personality are good additions if the meta is vote/ally heavy.

Deck Name: What We Do In the Shadows

Description: Black Hand tap-and-bleed. In this tournament, I rarely drew any of the tapping tech (except Nocturn Theater, but see below), and so it ended up playing as bleed-and-bleed instead. I got 13 of the 14 possible VPs available to me, though, so I can't complain too much.

Theoretically good tech which I didn't get to use includes using Tattoo Signal and the bleed equipment to do some light Darby Dancing, using Tangle Atropos' Hand with the bleed equipment to safely eliminate bleed bounce and then bleed again with the same vampire, and being able to boast that you played a Lasombra bleed deck without ever adding stealth to a bleed action.

Thanks to Darby and Hugh for transcontinental and trans-Atlantic deck advice, to Karl Schaefer for lending me the Shrouds of Absence, and to Mark Loughman for breaking down the local metagame before the tournament.

could use a Wider View or two and some Sudden Reversals, but I didn't know what to cull for them

Deck Name: Barrenness Twister

Description: Deck has 24 burn option cards out of 66 library cards. Burn the burn option cards to cull your deck until you get combinations set up, then use Ashur Tablets to put the burned cards back in the deck once you have your Maleficias in place. Best play in finals was using The Unnamed and two Hordes, each with 1 Maleficia on them, to put three Barrenness cards on my prey's Scout Youngwood and then burn her by playing Scourge. Ouch. Other than the Maleficia cards (which are very strong), it's a typical Unnamed deck - Enkil Cog The Unnamed, bleed on your turn, bleed on someone else's turn. This deck generates mucho table hate.

Deck Name: Rose of the Devil's Garden

Description: Ropecon 2016 Finnish ECQ winner.

Due to having zero time to actually build anything new I had to resort to using an old deck
that had scored me one win previously (Justicar Retribution XXII on Jan 26th 2014), just added
the two missing Instantaneous Transformations (and forgot about the 3rd Dreams...).

The deck is Otso Saariluoma's winning deck (Praxis Seizure XLV from Nov 30th 2008) with just
few very minor tweaks so praise should go in his direction.

The finals was a weird one, starting off with accidental Anarch Convert contesting, which probably ended up
hampering Mikko ever so slightly and probably slowing Lasse down a bit, although not as much as missing
Nizzam in the opening crypt though. With Muazizotronic Mikko ran through his deck merely acquiring my
Chandler and Nora's Unnamed -the latter took the pressure off my back. I don't recall even Mikko protesting
me ousting him and thus removing Pain in the Rearside #1 (aka Tablethreat) from the table soon after Timo
Banished Muaziz. At this point Lasse and Noora were in more or less damaged goods while Timo also was in the
same situation as I was; a player with hardly any or no pressure. Soon Noora was ousted. I was a bit worried
for a while about losing vote battle to Timo but the arrival of Genevieve (and removal of Noora's Arishat with
her mistress) fixed that. Then it was, luckily, just the matter of bleeding/voting in consistent manner with
enough stealth all the while avoiding the temptation of going to Archonable range. Mainly I have Mikko to
thank for my victory, he built the runway from himself and Lasse and also secured my rear by tripping Noora.

Deck Name: Feminazis

Muricia or Effie must be the first ones in play. Work together cross table to put some pressure on your Predator. Attempt to block every pool gain action of your Prey. Try to gain some, on every turn, with Enchant Kindred, Montreal/Dreams or Rack/Zombie/Vessel, besides Barranquilla. Be careful til the first one is ousted cause the deck can be depleted really fast! Survive this first stage of the game and you'll see it working WAY better, with 3 to 4 players on the table.

Took 10/13 potential VPs. 4VPs and 1GW at the final round.

Deck Name: [2016 Origins] Six Demon Bag

-- GW2.5 + 0 + GW2.5 + 3VP in final

Description: Deceivingly robust unnamed bleed deck. Plinks away while maintaining a decent pool buffer, then tends to have unexpectedly large turns (often with a pair of Infernal Servitors back-to-back). I'm still shocked at how well this deck holds up in tournament play.
Finalists: Mark Loughman (Lasombra Nocturn Bleed) --> Sonam Adinolf (Spirit Marionette + DOM Tap/Bleed) --> Will Kristoff (Alonzo Petrodon Toolbox) --> Adam Hulse (Ishtarri Multiaction) -- Darby Keeney (unnamed Bleed)

If one wanted to make modifications to the library, the Coven would be a very worthwhile inclusion and 1-2 Forms of Mist might be worth considering. Other than that, it seems to handle pretty consistently..

Deck Name: The Crypt That Should Not Be

-- 1 + 2 + 4VP in final

Description: Little bit of this, little bit of that leveraging a crypt that I've previously suggested might be reasonably strong. A good case could be made for running Gustaphe as the sole lead, but I wanted one minion with both +1 bleed and [OBF].

This version is vulnerable against political decks, but fairly well rounded otherwise. It is entirely coincidence that the number of actions, modifiers, masters and combat cards are pretty much equivalent. These ratios just seemed to flow correctly in casual playtesting.

Another compact module, but deep enough to be effective with 2-4 cap vampires untapped to bounce

A light combat package that remains just effective enough with prevalent Villeins. Easy to dump with Gustaphe.

-- 3VP in final

Deck Name: Full pool

I asked to winner player, and he doesn't use Villen just because he doesn't have. He try to compensate using cards that give to him more MPAs.
He was using the Golconda only against his prey, forcing to burn vampire with rush or making burn pool.
I saw that was not a equilibrate deck, however he got to go to final in first place and the positions were favorable to him. His first prey was an imnbued,
so the intercept was enough and he had his second prey (Lasombra) with just three pool and used Pentex Subversion.
The last players were Gangrel with Auspex (Wall) and he use Life Boon to got his last VP.
It was more strategy than effective cards.

Final table: Lauri (Vlad Tepes Toolbox) -> Tero (Ravnos Week of Nightmares) -> Teemu (Deck list under) -> Mikko (Muaziz combo) -> Jari (Ventrue AT stealth bleed)

Teemu 3VP
Jari 1VP
Lauri 1VP

Again very nice attendance, we decided before tournament to play only 2 rounds and Final. Very nice weather out and Finland was playing WC Ice Hockey semi-finals agaisnt Russia, so with just 10 players we took just 2 preliminary rounds and then finals.

The finals started that I (Lauri) played crosstable Banishment on Muaziz and then next turn Chameleon steal on it, to get the table threat of that basically ruined my game on second round, luckily I did get to the finals with just 2vps from first round, though with dice against Matti, who had same vps and also same tp. As fifth seed I had to go aggressively after that ahead, but Teemu managed to oust both me and Jari on same turn after he had already ousted Mikko, rather easy prey without Muaziz, and won the tournament then with his 3 vps. Congrats to Teemu for returning from torpor and again winning tournament..

Deck Name: You don't need Villeins to play high caps

Description: Here in Russia we got serious card availability problem, so to not discourage few new players we have,
I decided to limit use of "rare" cards in a decks. It is hard, we have to do something with it:)
So obviously to maximize performance you have to switch crypt for AAA, minion taps for Villeins, fun trifles for acceleration
and add one politic, Flurry of Action, Croc Tongue and Majesty.
NB - in general you have to play FoA on inferior.

-- 0.5VP in final

Deck Name: Northwest Qualifier 2016: Woke

Description: Weenie Animalism wall with a splash of Deflection and Conditioning for the oust.

Final table: Kelly (Baali, Striga, mmpa) > John (weenie Animalism wall) > Kevin (Brandywine Madness Network) > Darby (reply value: large cap vote and bleed) > Brian (large cap Lasombra vote and bleed).

The qualifier went as well as it could have taking into account that most games went to time and only 2 players had a GW going into the final round. We spent some time discussing the cause of this after the tournament and this is what we determined.
-A few players were running lots of votes (Darby and Brian particularly) and butting heads on each referendum. We saw vote cancelling and multiplying tech and several players were using multiple copies of Delaying Tactics.
-Scobax and bleed reduction both had a hand in keeping counters on the table.
-Most players were holding Deflections and the most aggressive decks had huge bleed potential at stealth, so everyone was playing very cautiously while trying to find an opportunity to go forward.

In the end, we had a lot of fun and pick-up games on Friday and Sunday.
Thank you to everyone that came out for this and especially to those that traveled from out of state.

-- 3VP in final

Deck Name: Velvet vote

Description: A deck that I made in 2015 inspired by the new set. Played it first time at
Finnish ECQ 2015 (Ropecon) and made a few tweaks based on that tournament for this second go.

Final table: Henri (Animalism bleed/bock toolbox?) > Lauri (Nergal Powerbleed) > Timo (Arika votes + bleed) > Mikko H. (Arika Mind Rape + bleed + vote) > Niina (New Setite Voter)
Niina 3vp
Lauri 2vp
Nice games overall.. The Finals went so that Timo and Mikko contested Arika, and I managed to oust TImo, after that Mikko's Arika played Mind Rape on my Nergal, but I stil managed to oust him, and after that Henri rushed and torporized my nergal with aggro poke, and then diaplerized, after that we played a long waiting game, where Niina tried to oust Henri and he tried to oust me... finaly about 10 minutes left in game Niina got the upperhand and managed to oust both of us just five mintues to the time. Congrats to Niina on her first tournament win.

Mark Jasper

-- 5VP in final

Deck Name: Saulot and Nergal: Beauty and the Beast
Created by: Mark Jasper (modified version of deck created by Roberto Mautone, Jr.)

Final table: David Corson-Knowles (Weenie Potence Thrown Gate) > Kate Hanley (Malk 94) > Brett Schofield (Ventrue Anti Obtenebration Vote) > Mark Jasper (Nergal, Saulot and the Great Beast) > Ian Lee (Mid-cap Assamite toolbox?)
Tipping Point: The turn after ousting Ian about 1 hour in I had 3 pool, Unleash Hell's Fury in play,
Saulot with 1 blood and Repulsion, merged Nergal with 3 blood and Call the Great Beast on him already.
Brett (my predator) had 3 ready titled !Ventrue with Obtenebration, vote lock and would surely have ousted me
on his next turn. Dave had 10 pool, 3 tapped weenies (3-5 caps), Carlton untapped and Fame on his prey's vamp
in torpor (Kate had 4-6 pool and Gilbert Duane untapped). After paying 1 pool for Fame and 1 to untap Nergal,
I had 1 pool left. I had Nergal bleed for 3, using his ADV special and the only stealth card in my hand (Mirror Walk)
to get past Carlton. Freak drive. Top decked a Gift of Sleep replacing Freak Drive! Then Saulot Spirit Marionette
bled for 3 with just enough stealth (the Gift of Sleep from hand, repulsion on Saulot) to get past Carlton
and tap him. I had only one Mirror Walk left in my hand, so without the tapping component of Spirit Marionette,
The Great Beast couldn't get past Carlton. Then I popped the Beast on Nergal and bled for 3 to get him to 1.
Dave's own Fame finished him off. With Dave ousted, I had no more fear of getting rushed to death. I had just
enough pool (Brett pressured me hard with KRCs and bounced bleeds from Kate at me the whole game) and the Fury
left to survive another turn of KRCs from Brett and another bounced bleed for 6 from Kate (she stealthed it
by the Fury), to oust Kate and then Brett soon after, completing the table sweep. This was after getting
only 1.5VP in the preliminary rounds and just barely making the final table as the 5th seed. Incredibly
close tournament and my first win!!

-- 2VP in final

Deck Name: Princess Pitch

Description: After going back and forth between versions with or without Dominate, with or without Villein+Perfectionist,
I finally tried the highly aggressive way of doing things: no Deflection, 2 more Shattering Crescendos and Daring the Dawn
to ensure the delivery. The deck is a bit like a weenie Potence when having an aggressive predator, but with
even less defense considering the intercept problems of the Daughters. Backousting IS an option because there is
very little pool gain (Legal, Wider View and Powerbase if you're lucky to draw it).
The "stealth" module (Daring the Dawn, Missing Voice, Siren's Lure, Paris Opera House and Virtuosa) works extremely well,
even against heavy blocker. Just be sure to use the Daring wisely so you send the blocking minions to torpor.

Tiago Brum

Deck Name: Tzimmy Wall

Description: What if Brum did a Tzimmy Wall?
Typical Tzimisce Wall with my own analysis from the concept, that was created while writing a blog post about errors I see in wall building.

I have no idea why people don't use Vykos ADV as the main vampire in any tzimmy wall. He gives you so many options, like being able to use more Master cards, having one or two silver bullets, etc.

Maybe one less Dreams and one more Guardian Angel. It's fun to have multiple Lodins. And saving blood on Tzimmies is a good thing.
-- Papillon is great here. It clearly was a though on the building of the crypt, since I already would have Vykos Adv.
-- Oddly enough I don't think I need Pentex.

Non arrogant wall.

Ivory Bow is going to leave if I increase Guardian Angels. It is only a win more card.

Odd pick of cards, yes?
-- I don't need Enhanced Senses. Deflecting or canceling referendums is more card effective and beneficial.
-- Everything else is built to protect Smiling Jacks.
-- Wall without ousting power are one of the evils of this World.

Vykos allows for extras in some places.
-- Blood of Acid is good against many things. This pack is perfect for me.

Deck Name: Nergal Dream Team

Nergal s&b with some Infernal Servitors and Dream Worlds to spread out the bleeds. In one of the prelims Nergal was the sixth vampire down my crypt,
in the other two Nergal was rushed to torpor and graverobbed. I managed to squeeze out a GW in one of the games nevertheless and got to the finals
to race against Adam's Kiasyd bleed around the table. In the heads-up against Kim's wallish !Gangrel I managed to get just enough stealth to win the finals.
MVP cards of the tournament were: Veneficti, Learjet, Infernal Servitors and ADV-Nergal's special.

-- 5VP in final

Deck Name: Avalon Incorporated

The tournament winning deck is based on Alexander Båskmans “Don't stop me now” (www.secretlibrary.info/index.php?deck=view&id=11210), but I choose a bit older vamps (I like superior!)
and switched 2 Information Highway for 2 Pentex Subvertion. So it's slower, but maybe more efficient. Also, I could not find/do not own a fourth Shroud of Absence, so I played
with a Shroud of Night instead – risky, but it worked:)

Deck Name: [KIA] Kiasyd 66 cards

The deck is just big enough to get you through the table.
1st game: 3vp. My third VP was just when I decked out with 6 minutes left on the clock. Most of my minions were torpored, witouth cards my last one soon joined them and all 4 got eaten.
2nd game: 0vp. Beast rush deck in my back. My deck can't cope with rush Potence Torn Grapple Blur.
3rd game: 3vp. A crucial seduction on anneke allowed my first oust. My prey and predator were contesting a Pentex for the whole game. Martin's Presence bleeder got through the wakes of anneke anson after which I took the table.

Final: Setite corrupt vote -> Nosferatu vote -> Gangrel royalty -> me Kiasyd sb -> Presence bleed.
My opening crypt at this table was perfect. I had Pherydima (8 bishop) and Omme (7 priscus) 4 transfers to start with and a Govern.
Me and the Nosferatu had votelock over my predator which allowed me to keep the Gangrel alive but severely damaged and a little threat. I got through the Presence deck, at which point the table started to collapse. The Nosferatu died soon after. Giving me, the stealth bleed deck votelock over the table. I went from 14 to 4 pool in a single turn, allowing myself to get Parity Shifted for my predators benefit, pentexing xaviar(who downgraded to prince) influencing a new minion and paying Pherydima to get an untapped minion.

I delayed the Reckless Agitation from the setites who were about to backoust me.
Then my predator did a bleed of 1 with form of mist (3 pool left) he tried to cycle hard to find his kine resources contested , luckily he failed to find it.
My prey had 3 pool left, my predator 7.
My prey bounces the first Govern, bounces the second Govern. I go for a third and luckily that's all he had. Bleed for 1 with a seduction to win the game.

Deck Name: Three Girls and their Masters

Shout goes out to Randalf Rudsdam (aka. the loud, drunken Swede) who played a Talbot/Aksinya deck about 3 years ago at Gothcon in Sweden. I don't know the content of his deck, but it got me started on this one.
The deck has some pretty crazy card flow which is why it has so many cards. I decked myself 3 times at this weekend's two tournaments even after triggering Ashur's, and generally end every game with very few cards left.

EC 2015 - Last Chance Qualifier
Warsaw, Poland
August 28th 2015
74 players
Otso Saariluoma

I believe this is the list I won Last Chance with. Maybe someone from the EC organizers can check that the
tournament details and the decklist are correct (as I already disassembled the deck back in the EC and
there's no list other than the one I gave to judges)?

The deck itself has the usual suspects with AUS PRE. It is inspired by a similiar deck popularized by
Martin Weinmeyer's EC win back in 2009 - although with higher caps, more Auspex and lacking Fortitude and
Daring the Dawns. This version has problems with dedicated blockers and stealth vote, but otherwise has
proven to be quite resilient with lots of reactions and combat ends, which gives the flexibility to alter
your tempo and possibly wait for an opportunity to present itself.

In the preliminary rounds I really would have needed Darings against my ani pro prey. In the second round
I got lucky as Kim was one card short of running away with the game, which would have costed me the spot
in the finals. And I got lucky again in the finals drawing half of my combat ends in the first quarter of
the library against Pascal's Enkidu - but some luck is obviously needed in this game. In the heads-up
against Noora's Unnamed the deck transformed into a half-decent block deck.

Deck Name: Laying the Foundation

Bring out Batsheva, Founders of the Ebony Kingdom and tool up, then bleed out your prey. Spending only about 10 pool on minions helps provide the buffer that you need to survive against bleeds or votes that you can't yet block. The Deep Song is mainly used for bleed, but you can rush and drunk someone or rush/tap and Majesty to send in bleeds.

He who has not first laid his foundations may be able with great ability to lay them afterwards, but they will be laid with trouble to the architect and danger to the building.

Deck Name: Guillaume's Surprise

Description: Guillaume Giovanni gets a bunch of Storage Annexes, in which he stores a killer hand
of cryptic-rider-chained political actions that can destroy the table in a single turn, to be kicked
off by Día de los Muertos. Wait for the right moment, then... surprise!

This is a first-draft, untested deck that got lucky in a small qualifier. It successfully blew up
a table in one preliminary round, and scraped a last-minute oust in the final for a win with 1.5VP.
That said, it might eventually make a viable deck.

Changes to make: See Updated Kiasyd Version at www.secretlibrary.info/index.php?deck=view&id=20636 . It includes better vamps, better stealth and some vote defense, which were the major aspects needed.

- added Ponticulus to handle local combat-heavy meta

- replaced one Tangle to Jake

Deck Name: Bibliodèque [9] He-who-shall-not-be-named (Baali stealth/bleed)
Created by: Orian TTC Gissler with help from Derjudge, Alkardil, Tim on a decklist from Thomas Gibson

The Bibliodèque (http://www.vekn.fr/viewforum.php?f=49) is a French project made of 99 decklists (and designed to welcome more in the future hopefully) based on Tournament winning Decklists or Archetypes,
to help people building decks for their casual play or tournaments, and ultimately print those decks in proxy to have a library of decks available for their playgroup.
Tweaks for the tournament were made only to adapt my playstyle and the time limit finals.
-1 Secure haven +1 Perfectionist
-1 Lost in crowds +1 Life boon
During all the tournament, I was thinking I should have played more Flurry of action. For the rest, everything is probably fine as it is. Many good tricks in the deck.

Deck Name: Women in chains

Description: An evolution of my Gangrel Dominate deck, mixed with my Gang of Fur deck (with no Dominate at all)
and a big deal of inspiration from Martin Weinmayer's deck. Ingrid Rossler is very important since it's probably
the first vampire you'll bring out in order to play Parity Shift and to accelerate the influence of the other vampires.

Description: Original design intended to leverage The unnamed, morphed from a previous version inspired
by Ferenc's impressive Gate-Shatter deck. This simplified version allows steadier bleed pressure with capability
to surge from time to time. Surprisingly robust even without primary acceleration.

Deck Name: VENI VIDI VICI (Malkavian Princes)

Description: The event turned out to be a very nice one, with many players attending (for current standards) thanks to a big Italian delegation, who came, saw, and conquered
The final was a quick and dirty affair, with Martin's fearsome Dracon deck quickly annihilated by a Saturday Night Special / Dragon Breath Rounds combo pulled out by Bram.
After Martin was ousted in about 20 minutes, the situation looked quite unstable, until Danilo killed everyone else at the table with an Ancilla Empowerment, winning the tournament with 2VP in final (with 1VP for Bram, Tom and Bart).

-- 1GW4 (5th seed) + 4VP in final

I walked into the tournament knowing I was playing for someone else that day - my dear friend Robyn. Get well soon girl, David is frantic with worry for you.

1x Anthelios, The Red Star -- yeah, I played the same Pentex 5 times in the finals.
1x Rising, The -- screws the big cap Villein game, really hard.
1x Bleeding the Vine -- another way to screw late game pool gain
4x Information Highway -- mandatory for horizontal growth
1x Joseph Pander -- might benefit from 2 copies.
1x Kaymakli Nightmares -- marginal in highly accelerated metas
1x Last Stand -- not used across 4 games
1x Not to Be -- No Scourge, Cycle or Unmasking seen in 4 rounds this week.
2x Rumors of Gehenna -- probably should be 1 copy

Deck Name: The feel of the rod

Description: Based on David Durans "I Have a Stick" from Camarilla Conclave 2014. I wanted to play princes with sticks, but not my usual one, so I took David's deck and made some random tweaks. I switched 2 Vessel for 2 Villein, 4 Public Trust for Governs, 1 Parity Shift for 1 Anarchist Uprising, 1 Foreshadowing for 1 Conditioning, 2 Redirection for 2 Deflectioning, 2 WWEF for 2 Second Traditions, 4 Taste of Vitae for 2 Soak and 2 Weighted Walking Stick. Switched Joseph D for extra Mustafa. I see now that the alternations can be discussed, and there are still much room for improvement, but it worked out fine at the tournament:)

Deck Name: Blacken the Cursed Sun!

Description: Raise Guillaume (or convert and Jake) for a setup, then locations to increase hand size as usual.
Govern down until 4-5 minions in table, deflecting/delaying to control table situation. Then bleed with Kiasyds/Lasombras and Sudario for needed support.
Converts were added due to heavy Anarch Revolt metagame.
Cristobal Ghiberti very useful for Sudario, and Scourge and Anthelios discarded on most of the games.
Not an easy deck to play, but very crafty (and deadly) one!

Deck Name: Payload

Description: This deck originally had one Monastery of Shadows, but I must have moved it to another deck or something. Basically what you have here is an Edward Vignes deck where everybody costs 4 extra pool. The nice thing about all those titles is you can try to shut down bloat vote. Adding pool to the table is bad. I made this deck because I hadn't won a tournament with Ventrue yet (never had an Arika phase) and because I've lost my fear of being ousted and now just play a lot of offense. Haven't had a game go to time in quite a while.

Anyway, the deck took 15 of 19 potential VPs all day, which might be a personal best. I let two get away in the first round because Peteo used some kind of mind control on me and convinced me he had wakes when he didn't. I then took 4 VPs on a pair of 5 player tables and swept the final, mostly by letting bad things happen to people who weren't me. All three of my preliminary rounds finished first and the final took around an hour.

13 cards makes me feel better about not being crypt screwed and empirical evidence has supported that, but there's no real math behind it.

Daring the Dawn was key in the final. Seduction is also very important. I got Enkil Cog out every time I drew it.

Haven't gotten this card to do anything useful for me.

Ephor is really just there for flavor, but has helped a little from time to time.

I kept outsmarting myself and not being able to Parity Shift but having the most pool is a pretty good problem to have. I could see swapping a Parity Shift for Banishment. Great for dealing with the untapped bouncer.

Deck Name: Jen Friday TempleCon 2015

The deck worked well when it got going, but getting going from the #2 position at a table was tough. After playing it more, I'd put in a second Secure Haven, remove Honor the Elders for another damaging vote (not enough big vamps out to make it worth while) and change out at least one True Love's Face for Voter Captivation - the deck needs bloat and that (and Villein) are all it has. Mundane was really helpful when I drew it, and I'd probably swap one of the Telepathic Misdirection or Counters for another Majesty. Finally, Drozodny is amazing, if I didn't need votes, he beat Stavros every time.

Description: During the tournament someone pointed out to me that this is like
a Malk 94 deck but with a different crypt. Which is rather correct but I didn't
realize it when building it (I don't own old Malks, so the whole Aus Dom Obf
thing isn't something I've done before). Mental Maze can worth it over Obedience
during these days of ally aggression so I went with a mix.

Lex Pike

Deck Name: Giovanni mini powerbleed with goods.

Lex Pike wins the gold star for putting Funeral Wake into the TWDA in a tournament by the same name! I don't know if that has ever been done before, especially within days of the cards becoming tournament legal.

Also new to the TWDA: Enzo Adv, Soul Feasting


Giovanni is one of my favorite clans. A little bits of goods for different things. Been playing the “Shroud Mastery” angle a bit. Shroud Mastery Card is cool, but not good enough in the sense that it becomes a dead card in your hand if you do not have a wraith card in your hand or in play. Toolboxish mini powerbleed with some vote defense tech.

Wish there is another stealth package, maybe anarch rail road tech. I keep having visions of one card vs my stealth package like the Bowl of Convergence, Eyes of Argus, ect…would stop/slow down this deck.
Do need to remove/replace Talbot's Chainsaw - all three rounds Ambrosius or Tye Cooper either got stolen or destroyed. I did have the pleasure to see Ambrosius got Pentex Subversion for the first time.

Deck Name: Chapel Hard By

Not a designated tournament deck. Unlike my designated tournament decks,
actually takes actions. For a tournament, would have junked it up with
good cards, like six Conceals. There is a required local name for this
deck, but I'm not one to stir controversy. This deck could have had a
variety of cool names. It's really all a matter of the key cards. Take
away the Creation Rites, Obfuscate, and Computer Hackings and what do
you have? Death to unbelievers. Once upon a time, once when you rhyme,
there were those who lacked faith. True, truth is not an issue. Fleeing,
though, accomplishes nothing. Health comes from drinking.

Description: Bring out the ICs and aim for the vote control. Use Banishments to deal with potential rushers and hostile voters. ICs enable you to emphasize between bleed and vote. Combat section will give you limited protection against enemy strikes and especially grapples. If you encounter a lot of intercept, try to hoard stealth cards for finishing blows.

Winning Deck List: Two trick pony
This deck uses Pariah as a thug, with PRO pot combat and a tiny splash of Anarch tech.
Since that is such a terrible idea, it also has a Henry Twister module grafted on, so it can actually win games.
These two synergise very well, with Pariah also working to cycle through masters, (even after he gets smashed into torpor).

NOTE: I'd prefer 4/4/4 with Anarch Convert (or 6/6/6 for flavour), but I do not own any.

Note: these are all Sudden Reversal magnets. I never got more than 2 media locations into play.

NOTE: out of 4 games, I only got Mr Winthrop once, and no Sport Bike ever. Everyone knows Henry too well, and saves their intercept. A wise player would rather be grappled and punched for 5 than let Henry get set up.

Deck Name: Night of the 13 Living Dead
Description:
A classical Shambleed deck, but as I hadn't played for a very long time I stuck to what I knew (and liked) best.

Guilhem Marranes had to drop from the finals, he had destroyed everything in rounds with his Assamite Black Hand so I was very happy not to see him there lol. He would probably have won.

Description: It's a vote deck with a lot of toolbox, defense, and agg strikes.
Notes:
I originally had built a tournament-level Terrifisto deck, and I also had a
Lambach deck in my casual deck supply (which used goofy stuff like Deploy the Hand).
I played the Terrifisto deck at the LCQ #1, and I found it to be quite
underwhelming. So I started a deck retrofit the morning of the tournament,
using the Lambach crypt, and the Terrifisto library. Removing ~8 Fortitude cards from
the Terrifisto deck gave me some creative space to work with.

Even for a crypt that has great access to untap and intercept
effects, putting an Under Siege on the table is really powerful. I simply get
the freedom to tap out and my predator knows I have untap/intercept sitting on
the table. Add Lambach's agg threat on top of that.

If he gets stolen, he can trash the Black Forest Base. I know
it's a bit corner case, but you do have to watch out for it. Otherwise you're
going to endure some serious gloating when someone actually pulls it off.

It's been said before, but it's worth repeating:
This card is amazingly good and other players don't even see how you're building
the perfect hand at the start of your turn. This card directly got me the winning
VP, as I drew into two Changelings at just the right time.

I like this card, but it's very hard to remember to use it
in every untap phase (including your own) For some reason I had particular trouble
remembering to use it in my prey's untap phase.

This is a great card, but I'm always hesitant to add it
to decks because it adds table chatter. If you use it, be prepared for the
cross-table begging and have a ready yes/no answer prepared so it doesn't
stall the game.

Deck Name: (2014) Replay Value

Description: This deck is about as toolboxy as I get.
Minion text offers on-demand bleed and Orlando almost ensures votelock,
so the deck is often able make opportunistic moves.

The finals saw 4 of the 5 players in potentially winning positions as the clock wore down.
This created incentive for an unusual number of cross-table rescues, allowing me to survive
Hugh's relentless Ahrimane and Ossian rushing. I got a lucky VP in the end for a win as high seed.

I got Rafael in my opening crypt 3 of the 4 games, which had to contribute to success. The crypt might benefit from one more copy, dropping Victor.

Deck Name: Steve Coombs Memorial

Egothha has always been one of my favorite vampires. When I learned that the model for his portrait passed away, I built this deck in his honor.

How to play: Villein, Perfectionist, and Restoration to keep your pool total high. Tap and bleed when the time is right! Jar the Soul, Telepathic Misdirection, and plain old "get blocked, S:CE, Freak Drive" all provide plenty of opportunities to lunge.

The incidental titles help get the support of political decks on the table. The 9-caps have each have +1 bleed which is good but not required. Note that Under my Skin is playable by most of the vampires in the crypt, and is quite a surprise!

Deck Name: Rule of Four

Description: An AUS CEL PRE "four-card limit" deck (Obviously the name of the deck
ruins the surprise). While that may be considering limiting, I liked that the deck
seemed to flow well and always had a lot of options. Annabelle Triabell is a new
addition to this deck, worked out well and made me win the first round.

Deck Name: It's a friendly deck, don't trust the setites
Created by: Randal Rudstam

When the Unaligned set was release I was very interested in some of the new FoS cards, I wanted to play reckless and Parity Shift in the same deck.
After some time and much work on the deck, me and my good friend Stefan Karlsson, who also was working on a similar deck, built this deck, minor differences,
this became me latest version. Some changes are about to happen.
Kemintiris abilities led to two big things in the final. One she was able to rush Lucinde, Alastor and Arika and use Serpents numbing kiss to "mind numb" them.
Also in the heads up with the same deck the so called "venture Justicar" used the extra bleed she gets against Venture to great effect.

Deck Name: Wildwood Sorceres

This deck is sort of an evolution of my !Nos Deck centered around Cailean
where I have big vampires that fight really well and have a good defense
but had problems with consistently getting gamewins due to the slow build up
(few crypt acceleration) and lack of multi-act. I cut back on the fight
consistency and fixed those two problems.
The master section is completely focused on crypt acceleration and pool gain.
There are lots of obvious and helpful additions like Fame, but really there
is no way to fit them without sacrificing something.
The Biothauma Experiments are really strong and the mini equipment module
works well. I thought about going for more fancy silver bullets, but in the
end the basic stuff is far more useful. Never used the Dog Pack, good in
theory against Majesty heavy preys.
Enkil Cog is a no brainer and I usually use at least two or none, the six
Freak Drives are just right, more will easily be too much. Don't need to
constantly multi-act, rather in a few strategic places (like putting on an
experiment and then Deep Song).
The combat is diverse on purpose to keep people guessing, especially since
the discipline spread of the vamps is scary. It is also focused around not
spending blood, none of the cards cost, and there is multiple synergies in
there. I can't consistenly win against combat heavy decks but I can survive
the one or two critical combats and have some hitback and I can usually
obliterate anything that doesn't fight at all.

Ventrue Stickmen
This one is based on Hugh's winning deck, he convinced me that the Ventrue Stickmen
were stronger than the !Ventrue Grinder. Added a few ally specific cards,
never needed the force of personality other than 1 game when I never drew either,
the entrancement was gold though. Glad Hugh put forth a compelling case for the Ventrue
since Neighbour John was everywhere and I would have been contesting in every game if I
had gone that way!

Deck Name: Just Say NO
Created by: Stefan Ferenci, slightly modified by Miguel A. Ripoll

Description: I wanted to remember old times, so I tried to keep the deck as similar
as possible with Stefan's deck to see how it could work nowadays (the only additions
are Eyes of Argus and Read the Winds). In this deck, you should almost never use
Eyes of Argus for intercept, but as extra untaps. The deck has some problems, mainly
it's very master heavy, and lacks permanent intercept. Sometimes it's difficult to
combine Breath of the Dragon and they can clog your hand. But it is still a sturdy deck,
good against fatties and with enough ousting power.

Deck Name: Memantine Therapy (2014)

Description: The second concept from the Art of Memory deck series. I had optimized
the library a week before the tournament, but I musy have mashed the culls back in with
the keepers by mistake. The deck still functioned acceptably, but it would benefit from
squeezing out 6-8 cards to get the 1-offs more frequently.

A good case could be made to remove the 2 weenies in favor of additional copies of Appius and Saul.

I saw either ally-based or location-rich opponents in every round. Having access to such efficient recursion for the theft cards was a real advantage.

The Seductions should probably be removed.

Title: Grumpy Cat
Otso Saariluoma's deck with minor modifications (without checking I think
I just added two Wider Views). Heh, I thought I had replaced two
Freak Drives/Forced Marches with Instantaneous Transformations but noticed
just prior to the tournament that I had only set the removed cards aside but
hasn't added the prints to the sleeves and since I didn't have color prints
with me decided to skip this modification. Silly me... Also, I think I've probably
loaned a Dreams of the Sphinx (=third) from the deck to another one and haven't replaced it.

Deck Name: Khazar's Diary deck ripped from TWDA
Created by: Not Chris Shorb

Played at the San Jose Qualifier Dec 28, 2013.
I discarded Sudario without ever playing it. For my playstyle, I couldn't
ever see discarding 3 cards from my hand at random...
I'd probably sub in 1 Call Hungry Dead, 1 Shroudsight, 1 Shroud Mastery,
2 Spiritual Intervention. But that's because I'm a toolbox-head at heart.
Khazar's never kicked off - sitting between two wall decks my first game and
one of the 2 walls again my 2nd game hosed me pretty hard.
Anarch Converts saved me in both preliminary games - one of the walls was using
Anarch Revolt to do pool damage...

Finals - I used my predator's lunge to deflect to my prey and wear his defenses down.
A Pentex on his remaining vampire allowed me to oust. We timed out 2 minutes 15 seconds
later. That gave me the only VP at the table...

Deck Name: The Quiet Achiever 2013

Description: A 2013 incarnation of the deck I used to
win the 2005 Australian Championships. This deck never
seems to do much, but is very effective. Table play is
critical, especially early on. Most VP's scored by "lunging"
(with Pentex Subversion) or by combat late in the game. Very
difficult to oust, especially if allowed to set up. The absolute
key is to use Magic of the Smith to bring out the Heart as
early in the game as possible. From there you have most tables
covered.

Deck Name: Mozambiqué

I'm not sure that's the shilmulo tarot is usefull. It could be
replaced by a last stand, but I'm not sure it won't create flow
problems. The rumors is here to get a better flow and also to
play something like a Pentex Subversion before playing Week of
Nigthmares. Consanguinous condemnation is here to tap some minions
your prey keeps untapped to block but also and firstly to deflect.
It could also be defensive by calling it just before a consanguinous
boon if you know that's someone is keeping an untapped vampire to
play delaying tactics. And it's also good to call a domain challenge
just after. If everything is ok, you should be able to put week of
nightmares in turn 6-7 with nearly 12-16 minions.

Deck Name: Unnamed cruising at Baltic Sea

Description: Unnamed deck using Maleficia; Greater Curses for
gaining more pool and slowing down combat decks, evil eyes
canceling and psalms to get bleeds in right address. Deck needs
some slimming down and maybe some Villeins as vampires where in
near full capacity in many games I played in boat and EC. Thanks
for building tips (and few borrowed cards) for Toni Karjalainen.

Deck Name: 419 911

1GW4 + 1.5 in final

Since most of the times your prey and grandprey make deals for bleeds of one
and it's impossible to eagle's sight everything, I thought it might be worthwhile
to try and prevent your prey from playing at all... so Brainwash, Pentex for something
that comes out, a bit of defense and an occasional eagle's sight. Ashur to recover
removed 419, intercept and the small amount of combat. And a last stand that I pulled
off to play in the second game, so your grandprey doesn't get the pool you have on the 419s.

Deck Name: Guillaume for rent
Created by: thelonius_reloaded

Description: It's a toolbox recursive deck, with some situational strong
defense and a light necrobleed module to oust. Extremely valuable had been
the 2 Trochomancy to take care of other recursive decks, and the combo
Revelations/Precision to get rid of a double Deflection in my prey's hand.
Sacre Coeur never been much useful due to the lack of ally deck, but I will
keep it. Nicomedes is AMAZING when you have 11/12 cards in hand, and
Sennadurek skill has often been underestimated, giving me full acces to
almost all table's hand.

Deck Name: Guedado Ghouls

Description: This deck is designed to bring out War Ghouls at extra
speed - cutting the deck size to 50 and using D'habi Revenants does
the trick nicely, plus the revenants make perfect "meat" for corrupt
constructs later on. Ideally you should have 3-4 minions on turn 3,
which is not uncommon. Guedado is a true star here, giving you access
to the Powerbase, Forgotten Labyrinths and of course the Strange day,
which literally saved the day many times. Some credit goes to Szewski
for his advices before playing my 1st tournament with this deck. Thanks mate.

Deck Name: Imbued nerds no longer worship Satan

Description: I've been playing variations of this same deck
since my 2007 "Twist with Conviction".

Tournaments are Serious Business, so my Imbued have ditched
their wacky infernal friends (with their Maleficia/Evil Eye
or Striga/Scobax module). They still love to hack computers
though, since that seriously speeds up their stealth bleeding.

Things I would change:
- Remove all but one On the Qui Vive.
- Wendell Delburton was useless. I forgot to take him out
after reducing the number of Weighted Walking Sticks by a lot.
- Suddens or Washes would be nice.

Deck Name: Mata Hari Is the Founder
Created by: Adam Hulse and Sonam Adinolf

Description: A Mata Hari + kholo deck (created by Adam Hulse and
Sonam Adinolf). Sonam tried a version of this deck in 2012 Origins
and it was determined that there was not enough payload. So I made
the deck 90 cards and upped the KRC by a lot. The Mask of 1000 Faces
are in there to get around no stealth for the weenie Laibon. Mata masks
and then plays faceless. I didn't make it work so well so that combo
needs some more play to see if worth it.

Deck Name: Owain's Grindhouse

This deck was based on Mathieu Rivero's TWD, limited by my access to cards
(one more copy of the HoN should really be here) and slightly optimised
with other cards I thought would play nicely. Performance inspired by the
tips on the grinder decks from the Cause and Effect show on YT. Many thanks
to all of you guys!

Deck Name: DOM, +1 stealth, what else?

An old deck slightly tweaked after looking at Kakarot and Lönkka's TWDs.
DOM and permanent +1 Stealth is amazing, and an early Heart of Nizchetus
allows to run a huge Wash + reactions package without sacrificing the
offensive cardflow. So you can afford to take it slowly, Govern your
whole uncontrolled region out, tool up and wait for the opening.

Deck Name: Cybele's Curse v2

Inspired by "Snakes on the Plane" by Ivan Marin-Rivas.
This deck, however, relies more on Maleficia for defensive
purpuses as well. Rather slow to build up but can be very
effective with time. What I discovered during the games that
putting one Barrenness on one or two key vampires can very
much slow down other decks by limiting their capability to
Govern out company, play Enkil Cog, etc.
Went up to 90 library cards to include two copies of sense the
sin for solid ousting power and three Dreams for better cards
flow. Both turned out to be a good idea - thanx to Martin Major.

Deck Name: Cybele's Curse

Inspired by "Snakes on the Plane" by Ivan Marin-Rivas. This deck, however,
relies more on Maleficia for defensive purposes as well. Rather slow to
build up but can be very effective with time. What I discovered during the
games that putting one Barrenness on one or two key vampires can very much
slow down other decks by limiting their capability to Govern out company,
play Enkil Cog, etc.

Steve Van Nus

Deck Name: Brujah Mass Debate

Description: Deck designed to get weenies princes out quick, parity's for
pool damage/gain which also gives strong deal making power. Brujah Debates
for defence/offence, hopefully making prey/predator thinking twice before
blocking. Has a some combat so you hopefully don't get totally pole-axed
when table starts working together to remove Debates (which happens).
Immortal Grapples are there to keep other decks that pack strike combat/dodge
decks (and no prevention) nervous about blocking, & Blood Dolls in there to
reduce your pool if prey is staying under Parity Shift range, and for
blood/pool management. Carthage Remembered + computer hacking worked well
in one game. Second Tradition for block defence worked well.

Card's I'd take out: Well-Aimed Car (placed in there for shits & giggles,
never got to use), would replace for Stunt Cycle or Sew Lid. Would take out
1 Pulled Fang and replace with 1 Disarm (grappled and disarmed Anneke after
she blocked cross table as she kept voted down most of what I did-which
is understandable).

Possible additions: Another Dreams of the Sphinx, Smiling Jack,
Specialization, Parthenon (I could not find any I owned otherwise
on the day I would have had 3-4 in deck).

Andreas Nusser

Deck Name: "Tai Chi Walking Stick Form" by Miller & his students

Winner of the German ECQ 2013. So far I have played this deck for 6 games.
3 Game Wins and some VPs in the other games. Seems pretty solid deck
construction to me and the cards are very balanced. Miller is important
but not a key vampire that you have to rely uopn.

Fleetness are great in combination with Palla Grande. Always had enough
forward pressure. Art Scams were extremelly important for blood gain and
saved me a lot of times.

Deck Name: Girls in the Pentex(TM) boardroom

Description: I got the original idea from Anders Löf. He was running it
with Nana and Ashur rush combat without reaction cards. I decided that I
wanted to run it with Aksinya with reactions instead. The decks are quite
different but the idea with high amount of Pentex(TM) works kinda the same.

Description: Matthew makes the Master selection a lot cheaper
making it easy to live with the Scarce penalty. Having your prey
tap out every turn is nice at which point you can just bleed while
juggling your permanents with the Heidelberg. The Dreams and the
Aura Readings prevent hand jams.

Deck Name: Bad Medicine

Description: It's bad medicine because leeches and Molotov cocktails
are bad for you and will not make you well.

Goal: Antonio and one other guy. There's no reason to get more than two
vampires. Extra pool is for Nephandi.

Two Havens are not enough. Needs at least four. The Rack was probably
stolen from some other deck at some point.

I really like Leech. Only blocked once all day and it was by Jake.

One Conditioning?!? Uh, yeah missing cards. Should be around four.

A few times before when I played this deck I found myself in the
odd position of having enough pool but being out of Nephandi.
Didn't happen this time though.

Delaying Tactics needed!

The cool trick of the deck is to use the play of a Heaven's Gate
to reset the Trap counters and continue the combat (the minions

Deck Name: Draba Jack

Based on Ference Vasadi's Ravnos Deck
Resilient Deck that just refused to die. In the finals I
had to play the Week of Nightmares much earlier than I would
have liked. Ousted my prey but within a few turns the Week
of Nightmares counters would all expire and slam my vamps.
Took the opportunity to rearrange my blood a bit via Vessel
and then blew up the Week on my own turn so that I could
control things a bit. By ordering those effects I saved one
vamp and was able to hold on for the victory.

Deck Name: Terrifying Politics

Description: New York City Qualifier Tournament Deck Winner 2013
A Tzimisce Vote deck. A nice thing is that when going against them,
you never know what you are facing. Bounce? Combat? Bleed? I knew
that i would be seeing some Cam vote decks in there so Private
Audience and Fear of Mekhet were a must. Purchase Pact barely
made the cut but I figured with Radu I should try it. It even
works in torpor! And instead of a variety of combat, I went back
to good ole' agg + Rötschreck.

David Litwin

-- 5VP in final

Deck Name: All of a Sudden

Description: After getting obliterated in the first tournament by
voting decks I broke out one of mine I had been trying on JOL with
on and off success. After a fair showing in R1&2 the deck took
advantage of a great series of turns late in the final. Early on
it got rushed into the ground by Deep Song and spent midgame rescuing
and hunting, while taking a shot at its prey when able. After the ANI
rush had to go upstream the deck got a turn and ousted the next 3 preys
with 3 consecutive KRCs, with the ANI not able to dunk enough vampires
in the all but meaningless last few turns. The deck has trouble with
any real intercept and the Sacrifice was used twice by Kyle Strathcona
to kill a Neighbor John.

Dan Apholz

-- 4VP in final

Deck Name: Mr Clean
Created by: Dan Apholz feat Pagan

Modified from an early deck borrowed from David it provides
enough stealth to beat light intercept and voting power to
get votes though. During each round the deck ran into little
in the way of strong intercept or opposing voters. Each game
the initial prey and predator were unable to produce enough
intercept and opposing voters too few to overcome votes or
handle Scalpel Tongues or vote push. Would reconsider adding
Klaus back in as a 4th minion as the deck can easily get a
4th minion into play if given the time.

Deck Name: Eternal Abuse

Description: Switched Legal's to Intimidation for blood management,
also added 1x Coven and Jake - reduced Lilith's to 1x copy as not
really needed now. Deck is quite low on stealth, but permastealth
and corruption counters offset that. Cagliostro is awesome when paired
with Nakhhorheb and the extra discard phase is great to avoid hand jams.
Minimal bounce, but having Keith untapped generally discourages big bleeds.
Added extra Majesties and Mental Mazes for UK meta. Could do with 1x Golconda.

Deck Name: Goodbye Lilith's Blessings

Basically, I just wanted to abuse Lilith's Blessing before it
got banned in VEKN sanctioned tournaments. Also, G2-3 Ventrue
are really really cool and I had never played them before.
I'd rather have a second Arika instead of a third Marcus Vitel,
but I didn't own any.

-- 2.5VP in final

Deck Name: Piper Ghoul
Created by: Lukasz Saczek

A deck put up two years ago by Lukasz Saczek for my appearence in Lublin as well.
Since that very event, I had the opportunity to play with it on several occasions.
I decided to use it again for the lack of time required to come up with a new
construction. Personally, I find it mediocre. Or, what is more probable, I simply
cannot drive it the way proper. It was like the fifth tourney I tried War Ghouls,
and this one yielded their very first Game Win. Luckily, in the momentum prim.

Deck Name: Tribute to Denis "Richter" who ousted me with a similar deck.

Finished during the evening before the event, at 2AM.
I realized it was missing some key cards during the rounds.

Crypt comments: With no crypt acceleration, Murat is
likely to be the best vampire of the crypt. That Tusk
could become a Murat.

There is no crypt accelerator. Well, there should probably, but not as master cards

That's where the crypt acceleration should be. Some Fourth trads could only help. ShreckNET is also sort of mandatory here...

Perhaps one or two Freak Drives?

A couple of extra Parity Shifts and some better votes would simply make the deck better. Neonate Breach, Banishment,

Aaron Clark

Deck Name: Angelica Ascendant

Description: It won a tournament, but can it win a game?
Angelica's special means that Ascendances can be used for
intercept as well as pool gain. She gets Eternal Vigilance
and a .44 Magnum and blocks. Anson provides support, cycling
masters faster and providing Angelica with blood from the
Fifth Tradition. Fish for weenies, stealth bleed or bruise
bleed for the VP.

I felt perpetually short on bleed during the tournament,
and after having written out the decklist, I see that I
had fewer bleed cards than I thought. At minimum, one
Shroud of Night should be switched for a Threats. One of
the Ascendances probably should be changed to a Pentex
Subversion for contesting or lunging, but Pentex is less
prevalent in L.A. than in other places.

Deck Name: The 7th Tradition: Parity Shift

This was one hairy final. I was down to 1 pool like 3 times.
I ended up killing my prey with a shift and finished off my grand
prey by Justicar Retributioning his main vamp. If I ran this
again, I'd definitely run 4 shifts and 4 boons instead.
Keep on bleedin.

Deck Name: the unaligned revolutionaries

Tap-and-bleed deck that uses CrimethInc. at tha to take actions before bleeding.
The key to the final was to sit away from the aus-weenies and to start moving forwards at
the right moment, ie. when I could oust my prey and the aus-weenies in one turn. I've had
this deck assembled since Twilight Rebellion came out. It's been tweaked and played every
once in a while, and at the moment I'm pretty happy with it.

Deck Name: Cock Robin Espionage Network

(Special thanks to Drace Zhan for introducing me to Alonzo
Guillen as an addition to the crypt)
The purpose of this Cock Robin/Deep Song/Enkil Cog iteration is
to greatly boost that deck archetype's versatility by taking
advantage of the powerful support abilities of Shahid and Alonzo
Guillen. Extra hand size/hand building combined with being able
to see predator/prey hands is the reason I call it the espionage
network because like good secret service networks in the world the
deck can see exactly what its target is doing and act accordingly.
It can be played in a variety of ways depending on the table.

Deck Name: Miller Time

This is one of the first decks I made. It was very rewarding to finally
win a tournament with it. As the Boston VTES group will tell you, I'm
the Miller guy. This deck has undergone an evolution from a committed
intercept combat deck, to a bleed deck emphasizing Palla Grande and a
combat package to discourage blocking. Focus on high efficiency permanents
allows the deck to mostly focus on reactions and combat. If you replicate
this deck make sure to spread the damage masters and bow amongst your
minions so other players don't want to block them. Punching with Miller
for 4 is fun, but doesn't get you GWs.

Deck Name: This Isn't That Kind of a Deck, Honest!

No Mytherceria other than the 5 Gremlins this deck relies on simply
Obtenebration and Dominate. No way of taking blood off of Vampires
since they tend to use it for playing the cards. Nocturns help against
rush and allowed for a high amount of On the Qui Vive and therefore
Redirections compared to Deflections. The name comes from me when
people expected the deck to be full of mytherceria cards.

Deck Name: Extremely Silent and Incredibly Far Away

This is a modification of an old deck idea where I tried to have
Tariq "atone" and block everything. This version is much more
balanced and simply tries to use Tariq's abilities with the possiblity
of an Atonement. I can already see a few flaws in the design.
I think I'll dump the Necromancy and Anima Gathering angles and
just put in more reactions and action mods.

I was very fortunate to win the tourney. It was a really fun final
and very competitive. David Anderson as my prey looked like he had
it until Brett "archoned" his Mu-aziz. I lost Tariq to Brett's Carlton
but was able to bleed out David with what I had left and hold on until
the game timed out.

Latest additions are Haven Uncovered, which is gold as the action to
remove the haven is basically another rush. Finally replaced Walk of
Flame with Flames of the Netherworld, which is also a good thing.
And yes, you do need 2 Hearts, because if u draw it and can't use
Magic, it will almost certainly get blocked.

Tiago Brum

Deck Name: Better Gents, Same Sticks, No Parity Shifts. Ever.

Description: Govern Superior as much as possible.
Most times, people don't see this deck as the table threat, even after 4 minions.
I think it's because players have irrational fears of stealth, big cap vampires,
players with vote lock, pure rush, walls...
I'm happy with list. Almost the same list that I took to the Final of EC 2012.

Crypt is fine.
Mary Anne Blaire is bad in this deck. Takes a long time to influence and would
require Freak Drives to use properly. Rather have 2 vampires by the same time
I would have Mary.

Consciously not using Scourge of the Enochians in the EC was probably
one of my worse mistakes in VtES ever.

14 is the new 10

Great card here. 90% of the time, used for bleed, but even more useful
those 10% of times you need to bounce a Giovanni or Kiasyd mega bleeder.

The quantity of bounce allows for the combat to be more offensive.
Second Tradition and Lodin are even more awesome together.
Might add an 8th Second Tradition.

Heikki Palomäki

-- 5VP in final

Deck Name: Heavy duty

Description: Shameless obf dom S&B. A lot of titles for table control
and vote protection. There is also a sizable reaction package for bleed
defence. Using Murmur of the False Will as main defence gives this deck
a great advantage, not only because it can be used for bleeding and
bouncing, but because it is free. Vampires can be Villeined to very
little blood as Governs are almost only ways of losing blood.
This deck is obviously very vulnerable to rushes but votes work pretty
well as protection against diableries as well. Secure Haven, Golconda,
Reins of Power and Obediences would be great additions to this deck but
it would require taking something else out.

Deck Name: EC 2012 Day 1: Unmada and Lutz

I won the EC day one in 2012 with this deck, it is a version of the
deck I used to win the NAC day one but with even more crypt acceleration
as I have seen more wash in my home meta (to counter crypt acceleration).
So I decided to use even more Zillah's and a few distraction.

Deck Name: Enkidu PRO CEL

I got some inspiration from Aleksi Nuora's TWD to build this one.
Protean and Celerity are great costless polyvalent combat disciplines
(there are only 3 Claws that cost blood amongst the 60 combat cards).
I playtested and tweaked it lots of time during our weekly session
(thanks to my patient victims) and I'm quite happy about it.

Enkidu in 5 copies sometimes didn't show up. I added one copy (with a 13-crypt card to draw more side-kicks)

Master come quite quickly because you cycle lots of cards. You can even
-- jam with master even there are only 12 of them, but it's quite rare.

Master (12; 3 trifle)
4x Blood Doll -- slow pool gain and blood management to feed Enkidu.
1x Guardian Angel -- the permanent "prevent 1" is a real life saver.
1x Monster -- permanent untap
1x Pentex(TM) Subversion -- for contest or to lock an annoying minion (Ponticulus or the guy with the gun). Can also slow down your predator when you don't have Enkidu yet)
2x Sudden Reversal -- To be kept against Pentex, Temptation of Greater Power etc.
3x Wider View

Action (8)
1x Aranthebes, The Immortal -- as always, to contest or to give me some protection against weenie decks (or even intercept... it's a great card)
1x Bum's Rush
1x Deep Song
1x Heroic Might -- makes some combat easier, but is not vital
2x Rumble
1x Sense Death
1x Taunt the Caged Beast

Equipment (1)
1x Gran Madre di Dio, Italy -- against Tupdogs, Nocturns...

Retainer (2)
1x Homunculus -- not vital, but useful once you have Enkil Cog
1x Raven Spy -- helpful, but not vital.

Action Modifier (2)
2x Enkil Cog -- allows permanent multirush and can give the edge during's your predator's turn. The +1 bleed is great also. Really a key card.

Reaction (6)
6x Sense the Savage Way -- to block of course, but protects also against Rötschreck/Mind Numb/Sensory Deprivation

Combat (59)
3x Canine Horde -- why play Drawing when you can get rid of that Ivory Bow/.44 Magnum or Heart of Nizchetus?
3x Claws of the Dead -- should always be used to burn vampires. Can get rid of Ponticulus/Tye/Ambrosius
9x Earth Meld -- defensive, untap, works well with Psyche! and is free. Can't ask for more
2x Flesh of Marble -- cycles easily, handles War Ghoul/Carrion/.44 blur etc.
16x Psyche! -- key card, even 16 are sometimes not enough
11x Pursuit
2x Skin of Steel
4x Stutter-Step -- saves slots, can be used by the sidekicks to dodge
9x Taste of Vitae

-- 3VP in final

Deck Name: Undele's Bag of Dicks

Description: Bring out big guys with Zillah's to secure a fast vote lock,
proceed to win with Undele. For defending and breaking stalemates, pull dick
moves like recycling Banishment, DI, Entrancement or Pentex. Very difficult
to stop by the time it gets a third minion out.
The burn option cards are a mix of whatever I had within arm's reach at the
time I built the deck. Ideally, they would all be masters to feed Anthelios.
The deck needs a sixth Villein in order to draw one reliably and early,
probably in place of Golconda or Giant's Blood. If I was expecting heavy
bleeding I would also add a second Protected Resources.

-- 3GW10 + 1.5VP in final

Deck Name: Torelando
Created by: Matthew Morgan and Kevin J. Mergen

Description: Won DC qualifier September 22, 2012.

Never saw the Ventrue at all in four rounds but otherwise
had good crypt draws.

Villein always clumped but otherwise enabled the deck.
I Pacted Orlando for Presence a couple of times and
voter capped with him for about 15 once. I wouldn't
consider it an integral component though.

Could have played a couple Entrancements,
but they wouldn't have helped.

Anything missing? I don't think so.
This all worked really well.

Could have had more stealth but I didn't ever face
heavy intercept as my prey. I had a wall in the
predator position round 2 and got blocked a bit,
but I basically just took the table by bleeding
forward.

Maybe too much. Bloat and payload is what this deck is about.

Torrent was never played. Probably not a good choice
for this deck as there isn't enough CEL.

Didn't have a lot of use for these. I love Scalpel Tongue
but didn't need it often. REG is a great card for Toreador,
but unplayable by Orlando.

Deck Name: True Brujah Wall

The deck is fairly resilient. It's some kind of Una mono-vampire
machine, with intercept provided by the Anima Gatherings (so, yes,
it IS a True Brujah Wall deck). Enkil Cog is pretty much a GW-insurance.
During the rounds, a few points were important:
- Powerbase Zurich would be an extremely nice addition.
- Summon History could be added (up to 3 copies)
- Perfect Paragon isn't as good as Tangle Atropo's Hand.

Deck Name: Mummies with style
Created by: Jyrkkä

This is a modified version of Izaak Havelaar's Mummy deck.
I agree with points made by Izaak but keeping the local
meta game (eg. no single allies are safe without a heavy
intercept) and my card selections in mind I ended up with
this version. I would change Anachronism to DI for the
sake of simplicity.

-- 3VP in final

Deck Name: Enkidu PRO CEL

I got some inspiration from Aleksi Nuora's TWD to build this one.
Protean and Celerity are great costless polyvalent combat
disciplines (there are only 3 Claws that cost blood amongst
the 60 combat cards). I playtested and tweaked it lots of
time during our weekly session (thanks to my patient victims)
and I'm quite happy about it.

Enkidu in 5 copies sometimes didn't show up. I added one copy (with a 13-crypt card to draw more side-kicks)

Master come quite quickly because you cycle lots of cards.
--You can even jam with master even there are only 11 of them, but it's quite rare.

Library (90 cards)
Master (11; 2 trifle)
4x Blood Doll -- slow pool gain and blood management to feed Enkidu.
1x Guardian Angel -- the permanent "prevent 1" is a real life saver.
1x Monster -- permanent untap
1x Pentex(TM) Subversion -- for contest or to lock an annoying minion (Ponticulus or the guy with the gun). Can also slow down your predator when you don't have Enkidu yet)
2x Sudden Reversal -- To be kept against Pentex, Temptation of Greater Power etc.
2x Wider View

Action (8)
1x Aranthebes, The Immortal -- as always, to contest or to give me some protection against weenie decks (or even intercept... it's a great card)
1x Bum's Rush
1x Deep Song
1x Heroic Might -- makes some combat easier, but is not vital
2x Rumble
1x Sense Death
1x Taunt the Caged Beast

Equipment (1)
1x Gran Madre di Dio, Italy -- against Tupdogs, Nocturns...

Retainer (2)
1x Homunculus -- not vital, but useful once you have Enkil Cog
1x Raven Spy -- helpful, but not vital.

Action Modifier (2)
2x Enkil Cog -- allows permanent multirush and can give the edge during's your predator's turn. The +1 bleed is great also. Really a key card.

Reaction (6)
6x Sense the Savage Way -- to block of course, but protects also against Rötschreck/Mind Numb/Sensory Deprivation

Combat (60)
3x Canine Horde -- why play Drawing when you can get rid of that Ivory Bow/.44 Magnum or Heart of Nizchetus?
3x Claws of the Dead -- should always be used to burn vampires. Can get rid of Ponticulus/Tye/Ambrosius
9x Earth Meld -- defensive, untap, works well with Psyche! and is free. Can't ask for more
2x Flesh of Marble -- cycles easily, handles War Ghoul/Carrion/.44 blur etc.
1x Infernal Pursuit -- useful when you need to draw some key cards or discard master that clog the hand
16x Psyche! -- key card, even 16 are sometimes not enough
11x Pursuit
2x Skin of Steel
4x Stutter-Step -- saves slots, can be used by the sidekicks to dodge
9x Taste of Vitae

Deck Name: DEM bleed
Created by: Idea by Donk, corrected by Randyman

-- GW5 + 1 + 5VP in final

Description: "The idea is that in our current meta there are many
slow decks that relies on Zillah's, and when I always have a Sudden
Reversal to counter it they are too slow to stop me. It's also very
nice to counter the, seemingly, endless pool gain/deck optimization
from Ashur Tablets. Any changes would probably be to switch Dreams
for another Touch of clarity, if I had it."

Matias Frosterus

Deck Name: Mora AKA Princes Outsource Their Stealth

Description: The idea is to be able to consistently bleed for
four at three stealth and then I added the ridiculously good
defense module of Second Tradition. You need one vampire with
superior Obfuscate and then preferably a different vampire
with the Prince title and Presence since veiling and playing
Second Tradition and Majesty takes blood. Parity Shift because
why not - the easiest vote to negotiate through.

Deck Name: The Gospel According To Set

Description: This deck can be rather difficult to play, but
is pretty fun. With self Temptations, Firebrands and
Abdelsobek a lot of Multi-acting nonsense ensues. One of the
Obfuscate cards should be a Serpentis, Carlton Van Wyk should
probably just replace the Set's Curse and The Uncoiling was
in here, dammit, it even fits thematically.

Brett Schofield

Deck Name: Third Party Politics - Velya for President

A somewhat traditional "tap and cap" deck backed up with
the stealth offered by Vicissitude. I was pretty fortunate
in that I didn't face a real wall deck, and I was the only
political deck in the finals. But it is pretty ridiculous
how much pool this deck can acquire.

Crypt Selection: Velya and Lambach are the stars. Obviously
it is best for Velya to use Voter Cap, but refilling Lambach
for future Minion Taps is pretty good. I think there are a
couple of modifications that could be made to this deck.
More copies of Sascha Vykos (adv) could be added - she has
an amazingly good ability, but it is frustrating that she
can't use Mind of the Wilds for stealth. Sames goes for
Matteus, Flesh Sculptor (!Toreador) who could replace Meshenka.

Library: Over all, I was pleased with the amount of defense
(combat and bounce), stealth, and vote push this deck packs.
I only saw early crypt acceleration in one game, but it seems
hard to justify adding any more. On hind sight, I would
definitely drop the Crusade. I was surprised how often I
ended using Changeling to bleed.

Deck Name: The Spanish Tornado
Created by: Soufiane Bouzouf, modifications by Jorge Delgado

Qualified last for the final (with only 2VP and no GWs). I think I had
very bad luck with table positions in the whole tournament in general,
where I tried desperately to maximize my VPs, but was victim of multiple
rushes in 2/3 tables. In the final I think I had really good luck with
the positions (since I entered last). That, plus my patience, plus
Guilhem's kamikaze gameplay gave me the GW.

Didn't have any Jackie, so in fact it should be -1 Eddie Gaines and
+1 Jackie. I'm actually thinking of taking out 1 Misdirection and
1 Tribute to the Master to include 1 Sudden Reversal. The deck works
quite ok in General.

Deck Name: Brad's Angry Dragon

Description: Deck idea shamelessly stolen from a deck Mattias
played at last year's NAC. I made some alterations mainly in
the bloat/blood gain mechanisms for the deck as well as wanting
to remain firmly at 60 cards maximum (with Ashur Tablets). Some
changes would be ensure The Unmasking was included as well as a
Direct Intervention and perhaps 2 Freak Drives - I often found
myself with the difficult choice of playing Renewed Vigor on
Anu or a Spirit Marionette on my prey. Heidelberg Castle would
have also made a fine addition.

Deck Name: White Wedding

Description: This deck, even tho it looks like standard Spirit
Marionette hijacker, is in fact stealth & bleed deck that uses
people's fear of Marionette+Heidelberg Castle to make them tap
thus shutting down block/bleed redirection defense of prey (also
it stops predator from blocking undirected actions easely).
Paying 3 pool in order to have a team of Salubris is not so bad
since their texts generate way more pool then that, and AUS
smallcaps make good and cheap support/defense. The dreaded
German castle is of course used to strip marionetted vampires
off their blood, but since most of the time people will be tapped
its main use is to make lunge attacks with bleed retainers.
In retrospect i would add some 5-10 cards since this deck burns
alot of cards each turn, which resulted in me being decked out
3 out of 4 rounds i played. I had 2GW8 pre-finals, 2GW10 total.

Deck Name: Ghouls Occupy Wall Street version 2

Even the ghouls have begun to protest! The ring leader
is a very charismatic Smiling Jack. Very peacefully mind you.
But when you get them riled up they go to your home and assault
your corporations with sticks and bats!

[This is version 2, version 1 won the 2012 Boston TempleCon Qualifier,
which can be found at http://www.vekn.fr/decks/twd.htm#2012ctqwri]

Version 3 was played for Day 2 NAC, but couldn't beat
the mighty Martin (congrats btw!). Some interesting
discussion how to give it a little more forward power)

Deck Name: Valley of the Shadows of Death

Description: A rearrangement of my Nocturn/Shadow Twin no repeat
crypt deck that always fared well. I decided to make Isanwayen
more important and explore his special. Not as no-brainer obvious
as the other 3 multi-master phase action vamps, I decided to try
and exploit him anyway since I hadn't seen any decent non-straight
up stealth bleed versions. Could use some tweaking but I only put
it together a few days before the tournament.

Deck Name: Euro Brujah

We've all seen it before. Conditioning/Deflection and Torn
Signpost/Immortal Grapple. Has an assortment of Celerity and
Taste of Vitae for combat and the bare minimum of master cards.

My own flavor was a couple of political actions and Judgement:
Camarilla Segregation. I chose Flurry of Action for its dual use.

Deck Name: Tremere 1.5

Description: I gave the deck that name because it earned me 1.5VP
in each game I played in the tournament. Apparently that is good
enough to win some tournaments - who knew? It is Tremere bruise
and bleed with a strong reactive component. The Sport Bike was
the star player of the deck.

gotten by Pentexing my prey's untapped blocker at the right time,

Then bloat until you are ready to crush your opponents for the
win. When an Hermana Hambrienta Menor enters play, she burns

Deck Name: The Bleeding Vignes

A very slightly tweaked version of Ruben Feldman's original "The Bleeding
Vignes" deck. Added Owain Evans for increased table talk, bargaining power
and blood management. Archon Investigation and Direct Intervention for added
defence against uncontrollable heavy bleeders and for protection directly
after lunging.

Deck Name: Tribute to Jay 2

Jay Kristoff has inspired previous decks of mine (http://thelasombra.com/decks/twd.htm#2k7ctw1),
and this deck was also inspired by him, hence the name. You can read all about his deck here:

With some research from Mephistopheles, Jay outlined 6 design goals for his deck:
1) 9-12 different vampires without a star
2) Many pool generating cards
3) Cards that move vamps from crypt to uncontrolled
4) 60 cards
5) Doesn't appear frightening
6) Unusual

I started by thinking about what +2 Pool action I could take. It's hard to get that many Art Scams,
so I settled on Dark Mirror of the Mind. Then I had to figure out how to get a bunch of 8+ caps.
Eternals of Sirius was the best answer I could find, and it also solved #3 since I could use Mesu
Bedshet. I think I succeeded on all the design goals except #5, since it's really hard to convince
people that you're not frightening when you have 5 or more 8+ caps.

Deck Name: The Ghosts of Your Loss

My first Harbinger deck. Everything worked like a dream.
Card cycle was awesome with all the vampire specials, Maabara, Fragment,
Gear Ups and Dreams. Anarch Converts are there mainly because I don't own
any more Harbingers than that.
In the future I would drop the Murder of Crows, reduce Trochomancy by 2,
add a Kiss of Ra and maybe 1 Gear Up or 2 Carrion Crows. The deck itself
is too big. I'd try to reduce the decksize to 80.

Deck Name: Geezers will find powerbleed

Description: Inspired by Stefan Karlssons Geezers will find deck
and of course the Girls will find deck by Teemu Sainomaa.
As you all can see this deck is quite straight forward,
the keyword is bleed.

To the deck itself, there should be at least one copy of Mind Rape
and an additional Giant's Blood. It should be one less copy of
Lilith's Blessing since I never used it and never wanted to.

Deck Name: Animal Trackers

Description: This was a rather old deck that had been updated
with newer cards for kicks. I hardly played it, however, because
of the popularity of Animalism. When the tournament was about to
begin all of my decks were kind of in pieces, so I grabbed this one
- miscounted how many cards were in it (should have left it as
it was) - and proceeded to add in 4 Ashur's and an HoN. Well,
3 of the Tablets and an Anton (there were 4 originally) fell
under a table. I noticed the crypt shortage and tossed in another
Taylor from a different deck but did not notice the fallen Lbrary
cards, thankfully, since that would have made it 92 cards and
illegal. I did have to contend with one useless Ashur's and a
card ratio I would want to tweak but the deck drew well all
tournament. It is focused on dealing with S:CE and did a
commendable job. Anton and The Taylor came out every round
and at least one other, would change it to 4 and 4 and add
another Wider View or 2.

Deck Name: The Princess and her Mistress
Created by: Mark Loughman (slightly modified by John Bell)

When I came back to VTES about 2 years ago, I built Mark Loughman's
"Traditional Princess" deck www.vekn.fr/decks/twd.htm#2k9glrqco
and played it a few times casually. It really changed the way I looked at
the game and deck construction in general. I give him (and this deck)
a big credit to my successes since then. I did make some changes for
the tournament - mostly adding Mistress Fanchon and Villeins.
Fanchon's ability is so good for this kind of toolboxy deck,
I may even add more of her the next time I update it.

Deck Name: What the... Ravnos?

Vaclav Petalengro showed up in my crypt draw every single round,
and every single round, my response was 'What the heck are you
doing in this deck?' He's got ANI and fort, but there has got to
be something better to replace him with, even an Anarch Convert
would probably be an improvement. I'd be seriously tempted to try
replacing him with a second Ingrid if I play this again. The game
I got her out, she was a huge benefit, mostly due to her +2 transfers.
All the other vampires in my crypt draw were always preferable
to Vaclav, which really says something.

I'd probably also try to put in more Freak Drives, and definitely
more Deep Songs, I only own one, thus the lack of them in the deck.
Other than that, it's a Gangrel deck that does Gangrel things.

Deck Name: The Terrible Two's

Description: The burn option mechanic really helps to get the
permanents into play quickly while not having to stack multiple
copies of several cards. The deck works really well in a low
intercept environment and it doesn't particularly like combat
either. The main defenses are to have numbers, bloat and use
the Hungry Coyote to keep rescuing or embracing. The Waste
Management Op is really strong once the library is depleted -
in the finals I was able to retrieve Delaying Tactics to
repeatedly stymie Anarchist Uprising which would have hit me
for 22 pool.

Deck Name: Triple B (Bleed, Bruise & Block)

Description: Did some of the changes I talked
about after Arnheim last week. Ditched the Governs
for more Conditionig, which worked very well. Added
another Valerius ADV cause I expected S&B (I was wrong).
Added 1 Magic/ 1 IR Goggles, had no impact. Still played
Walk of Flame, was useless again, need to get my hands on
some Flames of the Netherworld. Put in Smiling Jack, but
the deck is not blocky enough to defend it against more
than 1 player. Missed Chantry a whole lot this tourney,
might put it in instead of Jack. This deck could really
benefit from 2-3 Nose of the Hound to get rid of deflectors
before lunging, need to make room.

Deck Name: 1... 2... Skip a Few (turns)

Description: I had a deck like this back in 2001, added Papillion
and Lilith's Blessing, hoping to keep blood on the minions.
The deck is very fast and almost guarantees that a table will not
time out. It's difficult to not make a target of yourself early,
especially if the First Traditions come up. The deck runs well
without them, but they keep the pool/minion count low enough to
ensure an advantage in most cases. The Justicar Retribution was
the all-star heads-up in the finals, burning Stanislava when
I had complete vote control.

Deck Name: Glöggansiktet Gerald
Created by: Stefan Karlsson (with moral support by Isak Esbjörnsson Bjärmark)

Description: This is some sort of Freak Show but I can not
stress enough that this is no one-turn deck. Ankara Citadel
first of course and then tool up with 5-10 actions each turn,
one of them being a bleed as big as possible that needs to
end up at prey's pool. The recursable Command the Legion
and Revelations makes this deck shine, everything else is
situational.

-- 0VP + GW2 + GW2 (4 players) + 3VP in final (2VP to Grand Prey)

Deck Name: Triple B (Bleed, Bruise & Block)

Description: Govern is not that good here, since superior
can only be played on the 2 6-caps. Maybe 3 Govern
7 Conditioning is the way to go. Also I wanted to play
4 Flames of the Netherworld (but didnt't have any) and
6 Apportation, so I settled for 3 Walk of Flame and
7 Apportation. WoF was used once in 4 games so should
be cut, and Apportation should be upped to 8-10. Powerbase:
Barranquilla should go, I'd like to include 1 more Magic
of the Smith and a IR Goggles. Always!!! get Heart of
Cheating as fast as possible.

Deck Name: Mordechai Ben Nun & Friends HATE THE IMBUED!

Description: After snatching defeat from the jaws of victory one
too many times while facing the Imbued, I decided I wanted to make
a deck that could effectively deal with them.
Thus, the inspiration for this deck.
Mordechai is the super star. Want to:
- burn allies (Mercy of Seth)
- block actions (built in +1 int, plus AUS)
- burn ash heap power/conviction cards (Trochomancy)

Deck Name: Nobody expects the Shattering Crescendo.

Original deck by Otso Saariluoma. Tweaked to handle a little bit more
intercept. I saw the idea on TWDA and since it featured two of my
favorite vampires I decided to try it out and loved the concept.
The concept is to get both Unmada and Scout Youngwood out, then recruit
your allies and call Parity Shifts and Reckless Agitations on your prey
to get him/her to Villein/tap or otherwise empty his/her vampires. Then
you start playing your shattering crescendos. Slow to start, but gets
stronger as the game progresses. I used to have another Dreams of the
Sphinx in the deck but it seems I put it in another deck since I use
this primarily for fun. It turned out well, since it would have just
contested on every table. I also noticed that in three of the four games
I played I managed to slow the Ashur decks considerably since I always
offered to play Ashurs after my opponents finished their first cycle if
they would also do the same. However, I only have one master phase and
six ashurs to start with and if the opponents stick to the deal it hurts
them in the long run.

Deck Name: Judgment Columbus: Blocking is Pain

Description: I had a deck around 5 years ago that was played with
the "tap & cap" model - Villein, Papillon and Ashur's Tablets only
makes this better. The deck was conceived to punish many of the
wall-type decks, which are often in vogue around here. It's very
resilient, often difficult to oust, especially without having to
deal with Immortal Grapple.

Description: Este es el deck con el que pude ganar el nacional,
la verdad es que no me tocó ninguna mesa fácil y me tocó remar
muchísisisimo para llegar a la final. (Pico y piedra) Creo que
una de las claves de la final fue la mala elección de Ale sentándose
detrás mío con los Tupdogs, tuve que aguantar 16 visitas, pero
lo pude salvar. La verdad que excepto en la primera mesa, en todas
las demás me sobró el intercept, ya que me tocaron palos como panes
en toda y cada una de las partidas.

Deck Name: Nicole's Angry Dragon

Changed the Osebo starter I played a few weeks ago and seemed to do Ok...
mainly because no one had Superior Obfuscate at the tables I was in. Also,
thanks to Mark Loughman for suggesting and hooking me up with 2 more No
Secrets before the tournament. Definitely needed them, as Block Fail is
fairly common...

Deck Name: Vigilant Luc

Slow Darby-dance deck with some stealth.
Luc is key minion. His stealth and card cycling ability are crucial.
After tournament I would remove Parthenon and 1 Determine and 1 Rejuvenate.
Psychic veil was never played, but seems to be useful.
Would add "Not to be" or 1 more DI.

Deck Name: Nakhthorheb likes Angry Juice

Description: Old news, Mokole Blood is fantastic. Inspired by
a deck played by Tuomas Vuokko and many similar decks on the
internet. I was rarely blocked or bounced, so without Mokole
Bloods I probably would have jammed badly on stealth. Pentex
in the opening hand saved me from a rush predator in the finals.

Erol Hammer

-- 3VP in final

Deck Name: Destructo
Created by: Erol (Original Version by Ivan Marin-Rivas)

Original Version had 15 Ashurs, 8 Liquidation and 3 Heroic Mights.
I reduced the numbers and put some Villeins in. IMHO it helped
a lot, regarding survivability. Always had enough combat cards
and rushes. I would only try to add following things, another
Monster, a Golconda, an additional Taste of Vitae. Dragonbound
could be an option, who knows?!?

-- 2.5VP in final

Deck Name: Abusing the Public Trust is an Abomination

Zubeida leads the way, in his own Perfectionist manner, in righting the
wrongs done by those who are abusing the Public Trust. (Bleed, add
stealth, use the gained counter on an uncontrolled vampire, bring another
one into play that can do the same.) Frequently spent games with
2 vampires in torpor. Assembled in ~20 minutes the morning of the
tournament, it is missing the Freak Drives and Enticements and Wider
Views that surely could have made a difference in a few of the rounds.
Herbert Westin was nowhere to be found during the short time allowed
for assembly, so Robin Withers made it in instead.

Deck Name: Nergal's a Beast
Created by: Matt Wedge & Robert Scythe based on a TWD by Tomàs López Jiménez

Description: With the fragility of a combo deck such as this we decided
to make it smaller and utilize Luc, as opposed to fortitiude buddies, for
his handsize ability and Pentex removal with more Obfuscate, plus Sense The
Sin just invites Archon Investigation to further impede it's flow. Swalloweds
are decent combat defense (and offense if The Beast needs to visit somebody)
and Gramle gets the card you need right now. Also with the larger handsize
the inclusion of one Pentex seemed like a necessary evil, for another way to
deal with it or to just use it offensively.

Deck Name: Dirty Sinks

This was a rehash of an older deck I had dismantled before KOT that I redesigned
with some newer cards and the hope that it played enough S:CE to survive Deep Song.
The deck never got to play a S:CE the entire tournament as every time it was in
combat it lacked one in hand, making me think it either needs 5-6 more or should
just remove all the No Trace and take your chances.

The crypt could also be tightened more to make the deck more consistent, I'd drop
everyone under 8 cap and play a few more copies of the Ventrue so I have more valid
targets for Zillah's Valley as multiple times I had 7 caps left over in my uncontrolled
region and no way to cycle a Zillah's Valley to burn the 5 pool. It would also
allow an inclusion of Ventrue Headquarters/Ephor with a significantly higher chance of
being able to put it into play.

Robert Scythe

Deck Name: Marcus, Marc and the Funky Bunch

Description: This is my Faerie Guardian deck with a couple of changes.
I put in a Lilith's Blessing for one of the Master Disipline cards
(not Presence, of course) and replaced a Wake with an Eternal Vigilance
nicking an idea from John Bell's more defensive Faerie Wards wall deck.
I didn't mean to play this deck again in a tournament but I hadn't taken
it apart and it felt right to play at the time. I did forget to put in
the 2 Perfect Paragons that absolutely belong in it, luckily they didn't
cost me the game.

Deck Name: Brujah Debate 60 cards

Description: Deck based on Johannes Walch's Brujah Debate deck
he played during WoN in June. I added 3 cards to the original deck -
Jake, Carlton and Aranthebes. I would add Dreams of the Sphinx
instead of Cryptic Rider. Aranthebes wasn't useful but it would
help to contest it with my prey if he had played one.

This deck has some potencial, but in case your pred/prey is playing
a deck with fast setup if is very difficult to get VP's. If mid game
you should have 15+ pool and several minions striking for 3+. Smiling
Jack is a good option for late game when playing against two players.
Brujah Debate deck is very strong when played agains unexperienced
player who had never pleayed agains it before and there are lots of
them as Brujah Debate decks are not so common these days.

I will play that deck during a bigger tournament in the future.

Deck Name: Govern is Weak Sauce

Description: (Guruhi Brutal Influence)
First run though with adjustments after the Powerbase LA Win.
Eze still runs low on blood. I guess sitting next to the Beast
(twice) and Una (finals) might have contributed to that situation.

A first-turn No Secrets ended up being critical sitting downwind of Una.

Description: A fairly straightforward weenie stealth bleed deck,
easy and quick to play, you don't do anything on anyone else's turn
and on your turn just go full forward. Pool gain is completely from
kindred spirits and ousts, and is generally enough unless you have
a very aggressive predator.

Matthew Morgan

Deck Name: Salmon Fishstick
Created by: Matthew Morgan, based on Martin Major's deck

Description: It's rush combat with a strong master module. Master cards
are the best in the game. I'd always rather have too many than too few.
The name is because the final was won 2-1-1-1 and Fish and Stick lead the
way while Nana stayed hidden in my crypt. Fish is only in the deck to make
it count as a Guruhi deck for TWDA purposes.

One might wonder why only 4 Nana when she's the star? The answer is that
it's way better to have no Nana than all Nana. This deck needs a bunch of
minion actions to succeed

I really liked having AI here in the final, though I wound up not
playing it. Mbare Market probably isn't worth the slot. Should be a
2nd Fame, I think. Otherwise the masters worked out very well.

The Entrancement and Well-Marked didn't really earn their keep at any
point, though Well-Marked is typically a free action at least. I play
fewer Deep Songs than Martin's version because I'm not trying to rush
with every minion with every action. I bleed for 1 a little or stay up.
I want my prey to go forward. I don't want to simply squish him. Coming
out of the gate too fast is a mistake.

Very few reactions. Sense the Savage Way should probably go since only
Nana can play them. I had multiple situations where I would have liked to
block with somebody else but couldn't because of the restriction on that
card. Getting to 2 intercept is nice, but it isn't worth the cost.

Very consistent. Not a lot can survive repeated hits from this. Of course
it's not fun to run into other ANI decks, but them's the breaks.

Darby Keeney

Deck Name: Balls of Stihl
Created by: Darby Keeney, based on a John Eno design.

Description: (Imbued Chainsaw Rush)

A couple of years ago, John stitched the Chainsaw rush into
a Dancing Imbued deck and the two of us tuned the deck into
the current state over a couple of months.

It is a bit more fragile than some of the intermediate builds
but is consistent. I considered adding Veil of Darkness and
the Rising, but opted to leave them out for this run.

My favorite moment of the tourament win with this deck was
bleeding with the Vagabound Mystic, who had successfully
equipped a Laptop Computer, IR Goggles, Leather Jacket and
the Heart of Nizchetus.

Did some last changes, as one always does, removed one Archon Invetigation

but hey I did win all of my games.

Deck Name: Shamblingi dla Zygi (Shamblings for Zyga)

Description: I've made that deck for my friend Zyga, who has recently sold
his collection. Unfortunatelly he was unable to play with us, so I decided
to try this deck out. That was the first time I had played a Gio Shambling
deck. It is based on Isak Esbjörnsson Bjärmark's "Sudario Hordes" deck with
some minor changes. It's a nice - strong deck, but I'd add 2 x Adrea to bypass
+1 intercept blockers. Some Taget Vitals would be also vital in this deck.

Deck Name: Gio ft. Anu bleed

Note: I forgot to put 2 Archon Investigation back in, so I could only
threaten to burn vamps bleeding for 3. Late additions like Pentex,
Sudario, Obedience were jamming most of the time. I was always happy
to see Far Mastery.

Darby Keeney

Deck Name: Govern is Weak Sauce

Based on/Inspired by: Original deck design.

Description: This deck tries to exploit a card I believed grossly
overpowered as early as the first glimpse - Brutal Influence.

In this tournament I don't think I ever got above 6 Orun on a single
vampire for various reasons (predator-based rush, cross table Sense
Dep, Pentex, contestation). Even at that modest level it's a
double-strength superior Govern the Unaligned and almost triple-strength
Govern bleed. Seems pretty good to me, despite the overhead.

The Banishment/Exile module is intended to eliminate bleed deflectors.
It also provides a great deal of flexibility to deal with other situations,
including players at the table whose pool management is entirely
recursion-based (e.g., Villein + Lilith's Blessing) or handling
players running 11/12-cap minions.

Deck Name: Dutch ECQ 2011: Vendetta: !Ventrue Grinder

Based on the standard Stick Men deck with some modifications.
There isn't much I would change to the deck. Was thinking about
including some Nose of the Hound but got convinced by several
players that bleeding is better the nosing.

In all four games I have discarded the hunting ground. It is a great
card when you get it in the first 2-3 turns but after that there are
better ways to spend the pool. I am thinking about replacing the
Hunting Ground with an Uncoiling. Several Event cards will make
the game a lot harder for this deck (Unmasking, Blood Weakens,
The Slow Withering) and having an option to get rid of them could
help a lot.

-- 5VP in final

Deck Name: Samedi

My first 2 rounds were sub-standard as I made a few misplays. Pressing
the Flesh of a Muddled Vampire Hunter in round 3 and the final really
sealed it for me. The Guardian Angel can come out as well as the
Conceal. Inferior Obfuscate on all my guys was kind of annoying. It
may need a try with the 2/3 crowd.

Deck Name: Imbued - "Inspire the World"

Description: Deck based on Felipe Fiuza's "Cascaduuuuuura".
Once set up, very difficult to stop. Needs to be played slowly
at the beginning. Nice experience anyway - that was my first
tournament where I played with Imbued deck. The first and the
last time.

Deck Name: Tzimisce bleed with Asanbonsam Ghouls

Description: Great deck to play - other players are always
guessing if I have aggro cards in my hand. Smiling Jack is
very effective especially when played very early in the game.
Big disagvantege of this deck is it's speed - it's simply too
slow. Advanteges - played 6 tournament games - never won less
then 0.5VP . I would exchange some cards for more T.Vitals or
Rötschrecks.

Deck Name: Pancake Mix

Description: Ever since cards like Reunion Kamut and Art of Memory
were printed, I have been wanting to build a deck with all these
Black Hand toys. I recently traded for enough Seraph's Seconds to
build a competitive Black Hand deck and try and get the most out
of them. I experimented with !Tremere and Lasombra for a bit at
first, before ending up with Assamites. Of course it should have
been obvious all along Assamites are the best pick for such a deck,
since they are the only clan that has two Seraphs in the same
grouping and get five different Black Hand crypt cards in that
same grouping.

This deck is a bloat/multiact deck at its core and, but with so
many actions a turn, it allows you keep pressure on your prey while
still bloating enough to survive even the most aggressive bleed
predators. It's especially important to build up a solid ready
region with at least a Seraph with a Tattoo Signal plus two other
vampires before you start throwing multiple Losses a turn at your
prey. Once the Watchtower comes into play even the most dedicated
wall decks will have trouble blocking every critical action and
you can oust everyone at your leisure.

It seems master-heavy at first, but with 6 trifles and four copies
of Information Highway it works out just fine. There should probably
go an Archon Investigation in there instead of one of the Info Highways
or maybe the Yoruba Shrine. The three Ashur Tablets are kinda critical
as well, because in every game I played with this deck, I ran out of
cards in the endgame. If one gets cancelled it's not a big deal, because
you can just retrieve it with the Sargon Fragment.

Fourth Cycle is in there to make sure the Watchtower's upkeep stays
at one pool per turn when other people play Unmasking or Anthelios.
As a bonus it also gets rid of them. In the end I never needed it,
but I still think it's a good idea.

This section is perfect. I always had a Loss when I needed one and
in every game I played so far I have managed to bring out 4 or 5 different
minions. Reunion Kamut is really good, especially since it works on older
vampires as well.

It's mostly there so I can retrieve a cancelled Ashur Tablet, but
it's also quite handy to recycle a Loss or a Haqim's Law. I should
probably add a single copy of Trochomancy to the deck to mess with
Ashur/Liquidation based decks.

Art of Memory is amazing. I used them to recycle an Elder Impersonation
to oust a particularly troublesome Henry Taylor twister deck, I used them
to recycle Haqim's Laws to stay alive against a !Ventrue bleeder without
a predator and I used them to get lot of mileage out of a single copy of
Loss. On top of it, you get to flush an unwanted card (say, extra
Information Highways or Gehenna Events) out of your hand. If I were
to play it again, I'd swap a Seraph's Second for a fifth Art of Memory.

Deck Name: Homeland Recurred

Description: The deck was a lot of fun, but it really needed
a lot of cycling. The Recure the Homeland was the all start
with Burst of Sunlight and Target Vitals, it really did lots
of damage. The trick of this deck is to tool up while bounding
bleeds forwards and backwards around the table, the My Enemies
Enemy are quite intentional, as this deck doesn't go forward
too hard, which means my prey gets going, taking table pressure
off my grand predator, I try to fix that here. The allies and
Terrell Harding (wider view needs to be here) suck some blood off
as a means to stop Deflections when you do lunge forward.
In round one after having 2 allies burned and my first vampire
with a Vessel, Blood Doll, Ivory Bow and Rutor's Hand on turn 4,
I managed to lunge for 12 undeflected 4 turns later with the
Heidelberg, all the time just bouncing and tweaking blood off
vampires. Society of Leopold takes a very close 2nd to all
star card, it really allowed me to stop other methheads as
needed. This deck was something I tooled with on JOL, it
never did well and I rebuilt it the morning of the event,
it does have flow problems, so note if you play it, you will
be discarding every turn if you want a chance in hell. Truth
be told, my win came from luck, and my ability to capitalize
on it. The last bit of advice, ditch the harvest rites, trust
me, they suck here. Thanks to Jay for getting such a large
showing from Columbus and to the Newark crew for making it out!

Deck Name: Ira
Created by: Matt Guinn, modified by David Tatu

Matt Guinn gave me this deck that he won Guide and Mentor: Atlanta
with last month. I made a few changes but the cards I put in never
saw play or did not make any difference during the event. So his
original version is probably better. It is a very good deck, much
stronger than what I typically build and play and it was a lot of fun
to run. Thanks Matt for the deck and thanks to Kevin for another great
event in Las Vegas. Wish we did not have to wait another year for the
next one.

-- 4VP in final

Deck Name: Armin Hammer

The deck plays generally the same as any stealth/vote deck with a more
interesting stealth module. Ideally Armin Brenner is your first
minion and should always be first unless he isn't in your opening
crypt. He is the only minion in the crypt that can maximize the use
of all cards in the crypt and his 1 pool/vote adds up over the course
of the game. The deck will play quite a few cards each turn and
maximizing cards like Forced March for stealth and untap is key.

The deck can generally bloat fast enough to handle a moderately fast
bleeding predator and Majesty or Resist Earth's Grasp will slow down
Animalism rush significantly while accepting that a Grappling foe will
kill the deck. Undele is key for late game antics to make sure your
two other actions/turn are exactly what you want them to be.

While it never showed, gaining potentially 5 pool calling a Black
Forest Base action is rather nice. The changes I would make after
playing it outside of the local playgroup would be two fewer KRCs and
another Neonate Breach and then some other damage vote or maybe even
a utility vote like Snipe Hunt/Permanent Vacation to take out late
threats that can be brought back. Delaying Tactics recycled in the
finals against me slowed down my offense several turns.

Deck Name: Saulot and Nergal dating
Created by: Isak Esbjörnsson Bjärmark

This deck is based on a deck constructed by Marko Lindroos.
Marko plays his deck with Possesion and Sargon fragment to
get Nergal back after Call the Great Beast. The really brilliant
thing Marko discovered with Saulot and Nergal dating is that
they are really stealthy and when outferiors comes in to account
there's alot of stealth available. Of course this deck will
not break a dedicated blocker, neutral guard helps though.

This deck is really defensive, or should be played that way
anyways. Saulot should go first to help out with getting the
other guys. Magic of the Smith should go on Heart first and
Magic of the Smith should be played as soon as posssible.
To keep the pressure up, bleeding with Saulot and Nergal
every turn is essential. Enkil Cog should go on Saulot.

Dave Knowles

Deck Name: Bitey Wizards
Created by: Dave Knowles // Shockwave @ #vtes

Thanks to #vtes on SorceryNet for critiqueing this
deck a million times for me, and Hugh & John for
putting up with oddball ideas when I should be
playing something more sensible.

Beatrice is *golden*. Leech, burn the Second Sight when
announced, untap, bleed with pot options that worry people.
I'm tempted to have an extra one. Keith and Esoara have never
seen play.

Seems to flow just about right, maybe needs another Intercept location.

Veil of Darkness kills tables. Everyone will hate you
for it (and with good reason), but it's pretty much a key
card to drop via Fortschritt if necessary. It saves me
repeatedly, including killing the Stealth on the Ancilla
Empowerment that would have killed me in the final.

Probably needs 1-2 more Actions, no idea what to lose to manage it, though.

I have no idea why the more common Nephandus deck runs 10.
I never see 10, I never can afford 10, and I run out of turns
before I'd get 10. Young Bloods and Carlton can also Leech.

Once again, a smidge too light, really.

The kicker. Nobody expects a Nephandus to Disarm you,
and nobody expects a Nephandus to survive a Torn Signpost
*and* Disarm you.

Deck Name: He Has To Run Out Sometime...

2GW8 (1st seed)

Description: The deck is so named because every game I have played it, someone at the table
has commented that I would have to run out of Faerie Wards at some point. Until
it's seen in action, it is hard to describe just how effective a wall this deck
can be without blocking at all. The deck is extremely slow, but relies on
locking down its predator to get itself entrenched. Eternal Vigilance really
makes the deck obnoxious - it does require you to block, but judicious usage can
truly sap your predator's will - attempt to block a hunt or vote without
intercept or ensure that you have an Obedience in hand for 0-stealth actions.
The Rack and Papillion for Marconius assure that you can Faerie Wards to your
heart's content and Smiling Jack to end games. The major challenge for the deck
is increasing Marconius' capacity to ensure everyone is a legal target for
Faerie Wards/Banishment.

Both actions are just awesome for the deck. Depending on the table, I used
Goblinism to either get Papillion or Secure Haven most often. There should also
probably be some Govern's in this deck to utilize all the wonderful superior
Dominate, but for some reason that always scares people.

Mylan can either bleed or be another way to keep the Marconius-machine
untapped and running. The other two are there to try and ensure that my prey is
losing maximum pool to Smiling Jack in the endgame, but can also be helpful
keeping a predator in a hunt-loop.

Always nice for a deck that likes to sit around and wait for opportunities.

Huge against breeder decks and other weenies.

Virtually ensures I will never run out of Faerie Wards, offers pool gain,
and the ability to retrieve early discards - can't say enough good about them.

Most recent addition to the deck in an attempt to keep my prey from running
away from me; excellent synergy with making Marconius older anyway and often
times this deck just happens to be the political power at a table.

To test whether this card was worth playing, I wanted to ensure I always had
a few in hand. It might be a bit much, but the card is so very good when only
paying 1 blood. It is also nice to be able to play it at basic [myt] on a
bounced bleed to keep the pressure on my predator.

Probably should include a few Deflections in the deck, but the idea was to
really try and abuse Faerie Wards. I may try to drop 2-3 in the future and
replace them with Deflection.

Crypt (12 cards, min=30, max=38, avg=8.67)
------------------------------------------
5x Marconius	      9	 DOM MYT OBT pot      archbishop  Kiasyd:2	       -- Paying 1 less for Faerie Wards is what makes the deck viable in the first place.
2x Marcus Vitel	     10	 DOM FOR OBF OBT PRE  prince	  Ventrue:3	       -- Conditional +bleed for everyone else in the crypt, but I rarely have more than 2 vampires out. His inclusion is a bit questionable to me at this point.
2x Quentin	      9	 AUS DOM FOR cel obt  bishop	  Ventrue antitribu:2  -- I've considered adding more of Quentin since voting is one of the weaknesses of the deck (Faerie Wards only usable on [D] actions). His ability to cancel votes has been critical several games.
2x Gratiano	      8	 DOM OBT obf pot      priscus	  Lasombra:2	       -- He's just good for this deck in every way.
1x Béatrice L'Angou   5	 MYT aus dom nec		  Kiasyd:2	       -- probably should change her to someone more useful.

I guess you could call this an Edward Vignes deck without Edward Vignes.
Anson for extra masters and a nice little vote module. Second tournament,
second final table with first seed. The deck doesn't really bloat too much
but it can outlast quite a many threats. I'd change few cards but nothing
big. Secure Haven saved Anson's sweet *** in two games out of three when
facing Grapple rush or blood suckers like Gabrielle di Righetti & Francois
Villon (played by prey and predator).

Deck Name: Para Bailar la Bamba

Description: A breed and vote deck with Bamba and Amaravati,
taking advantage of a good laibon spread into the Assamite clan.
The main idea is to breed enough Bambas, bleed occasionally to
charge Alamut, bloat with Haquim's Law and Boon, then go for the
killing with Khabar: Community and Veil the Leigion for bleed and
big votes like Reckless

Deck Name: Toreador Power Bleed

Description: Use Enkidu for block denial and defense, monster
bleed with Andre, other weenies and the Codex once the coast is
clear. The combat module is based on the theory that if you have
enough Psyche! and Pursuit you can just dump combat cards until
you run into an Earth Meld and another rush card.

Casual observations:
the longest game I played in the tournament lasted for about 1h 15min
I still managed to deplete my library in every single game

John Bell

Deck Name: Sudden Reversal Monstrosity

Probably one of more vicious and aggressive decks I have built.
The idea is denying opponents key resources in the form of their
Masters. The obvious choices are prey's pool gain and predator's
offensive cards, but it becomes more difficult to decide what
permanents to allow in play across table. The stealth-bleed module
works quite well without a single master, but the deck funcitons
under the assumption that many decks are crippled without their
master phases.The deck physically can not bleed for greater than
3, which means I have no worries for Archon Investigation and
bounce isn't as crippling as when a bleed of 6 is redirected.
The pool generation in the deck mostly comes from Kindred Spirits,
ousting my prey, or The Call in a pinch.

Deck Name: Faerie Guardian

Description: I've always disliked Archon Investigation because,
though it takes a big bleeder off you, it hurts my predator too much
(unless he's just a heavy stealth bleeder) and Faerie Wards does
exactly what I like, stopping the bleeds and holding them down. Also
great for all other D actions. Shroud of Absence and Stone Travel help
to not need any combat at all, though I suppose a couple of Majesty's
could help but it was cool like this. Trick is to have Marconius
become the biggest vampire on the table, too bad he doesn't come with
Protean.

Deck Name: Ishtarri No Ayo

Description: Most of the decks I've seen with the Ishtarri
revolve around Ayo and voting, I wanted to go a different
angle with this deck. The original concept was to have multiple
informants out so that I could have an idea of what everyone
held in their hand. It was built as a combat/wall deck and
spends a lot of time sitting around trying to build up.
The No Secrets can often get burned, but isn't a disaster
since there are more to be had.

Should remove Shasa and Honorine for 2x Ayo Igoli,
I didn't want to invest that much into a single minion
with this deck, but she's really good for it.

Enchants should be changed to Entrancement

I would consider dropping the hunting ground for Carlton van Wyk, who should have been in here to start with.

Both Wakes should be changed for On the Qui Vive which would allow me to throw a Procurer in the way of a rush-action.

Christian Nislev

-- 3VP in final

Deck Name: A Twist of Madness
Created by: Christian Nislev (all credit goes to to Ben Peal and Keith Page of course...)

Description: The classic Henry Taylor-twister deck where Henry ends up
blocking everything and ousting with Smiling Jack. I felt the deck was
a bit too passive, so added Clan Impersonation and Madness Network
which allows for some serious end game bleed punch with Anima
Gathering and Earth Control stealth. Bleeding at the end of your
predator's turn gives you the edge and a pool which pays for Jack. 31
cards is too much, but there's some nifty mechanics that adds
flexibility to the classic deck.

Deck Name: We Are the Land

Description: A breed-and-boon deck which revolves around Guruhi Are
the Land: a free, versatile card which can provide situational untap,
extra blood when hunting, or +bleed. Dream World was ridiculously good,
but in two games getting No Secrets with the Kevlar Vest was the
game-breaker. For a future build, I would be tempted to include more
vests and No Secrets after the success it brought me, but the original
intent was for that to be a side feature of the deck.

Tend the Flocks for either speed or pool generation.
The Ashur Tablets give me freedom to move cards quickly
while allowing me to retrieve them for later when I need
to tune my hand. The idea is to be able to have permanent
+bleed on as many minions as possible, lay as low as possible
and bloat to live.

Ivan Marin-Rivas

Deck Name: Der Räuber und der Prinz

Description: First combat is to cycle in to necessary cards, both in
graveyard and in hand. After that play Ashurs and recycle the necessary
cards back into library and deck. Always keep in mind the amount of
ashurs in the deck so that you don't choke on masters.

Soulscan for Agaitas if needed for added flavor and utility.

Deck Name: Obey Redux

Vote and bleed down prey, and reassign pool via Parity Shifts to keep
others from being ousted; bounce with Deflections and reduce combat
with Obedience and Read Intentions; slow to start up and weak against
Grapples and heavy combat, but tends to keep things interesting, as
passing votes is rarely a problem.

Deck Name: Fairies Wear Boots

Description: This deck is definitely more along the "toolbox" style
than prefer to run but I wanted to try something a little different.
The two votes are there mainly for vote protection, but can also allow
me to play Eternal Vigilance if the stars properly align. The
Pandora's Whispers often help fine tune a hand, I may consider adding
more although I'm not sure what I'd drop.

Deck Name: Better Gentlemen, Same Sticks

Description: After the EC in 2009 I thought about the decks that
impressed me the most and Hugh's Gentlemen with Sticks was one of
them. At the time Grinders weren't all that known in Portugal.
Being the fan of Ventrue that I am, I thought the KoT vampires would
bring advantages that the Sabbat vampires don't have, like 2nd
Tradition, inherent votes for defense and other goodies.
Played with deck in tournaments for a year and went to every Final
with it. Except the EC:(

Deck Name: All You Need Is Oust

The deck is straight forward offense. The only action in the deck that
doesn't have any offensive potential is Carlton Van Wyck which I threw
in last minute. Get out 2 vampires and try to bleed, vote and recruit
with them each turn. The first action is usually the most important
and has the Uncontrolled Impulse to push it through. Majesty and
change of target gets through and defenders until you can get your
actions through. Decent pool gain to slow down your predator. If you
are in a really bad spot, bloat and vote upstream. Don't bother
leaving any vampires for blocking unless you don't have any actions
left, or you are looking at static intercept combat with no modifiers
to push your actions through.

Deck Name: mINIMAL sTYLE

Fast and aggressive rush combat. Make 1st vp asap and decide who to
stay 1 on 1 with. Follow the basic combat doctrine to backrush first
and then play without a predator.

/could need more copies of Animalism skill card. Fear of Mekhet was a
metagame choice and burned a Legendary Unmada. Wider View never showed
up when needed. Frontal Assault is pure gold!/

/my version is really not about blocking. Random intercept is good to
keep people guessing and blocking deflected bleeds/

/very solid combat package, Target Vitals and Terror Frenzy are
extremely useful/

/discarded when drawn to early and taken back into hand after a
completed Ashur Cycle in the midgame. Awesome bonus to your ousting power/

Deck Name: Hannibalism

The main strategy of the deck is to get the best use out of
Hannibal(A)'s untap ability to act twice on my own turn, then be able
to untap later for defense if needed. There is a clear vote strategy
in the deck, but I also put in a good amount of toolbox.

Deck Name: Chameleon Snakes

Description: Credit where credit is due. I had built a Chamelon module
into a Ayo-Anarch deck a while back, and as such was familiar with the
mechanics of it, but Matt Wedge took it to a new level. He proposed a
mono-Snake deck accelerated by Eternals of Sirius. I've spent the last
8 months learning to build and play 60 card decks, more in the style of
Jay. I went Group 4 for this, because Nakhthorheb's inherent multi-acting
is so strong. Thanks also to Darby for some tweaks in the Master mix. I
would probably delete one of the support snakes in favor of a second
Cagliostro... Synergy between him and Nak is huge.

Description: à l'origine, un !Ventrue avec un module Concealed / Desert Eagle /
Magazine / Scattershot, testé une fois en amicale et 4 fois lors d'un tournoi à 5.
Que des time limit, alors le module fut retiré et euh... remplacé par des trucs qui bourrent,
quoi. Ca avait donné un sweep en amicale à T2J le mardi précédent le tournoi. Dans l'état,
c'est un truc sans prétention, un genre de tap'n'bleed déguisé. Le kinder Orgy of Blood,
le wet dream Last Stand et les kill sous-marin Slaughtering the Herd n'ont jamais été
joués pendant le tournoi

Deck Name: Kiasyd Fastball

Just wind up and throw the high cheese! Gremlins and Bonding for 3
bleed at 2 stealth. Nocturns to get in the way of rushers. Sudden
Reversals to shut down Villein and other shenanigans. It probably
wants a couple more On the Qui Vive (instead of a couple Wakes) and
Delaying Tactics (instead of a couple Deflections). Foreshadowing
Destruction should probably be another Song of Pan. Scourge of the
Enochians should probably go in there, and perhaps The Uncoiling.

other ravnos with dom should be added, as CHI isn't as mandatory as I

Deck Name: Tryphosa Stealth/Defense

Description: The inherit (but sometimes costly) +1 Stealth for all
bleed actions via Tryphosa, allows you to have less stealth cards and
more space for heavy defense module. It allows you to block your preys
poolgaining actions and tapping him out in the process. So bleeding
and gaining pool via bleeding is teh way to win. Deck has a hard time
to sweep, but stays alive long enough to make the table.

Deck Name: AD&D (Advanced Derange & Dementia)

Description: The same deck I played before, this time with slight
alterations, as I found Unmada too important to miss in the opening
crypt. Temptation of Greater Power was actually an excellent addition.
If you want to use the combo in every single game (which I didn't),
I'd suggest playing more copies of the key cards: Derange, Dementia and
Enkil Cog.

-- 3VP in final

Deck Name: The new A

Description: Classic Triple A concept enhanced with the new big A, Ashur Tablets.

The only change I would make in this deck is to add an Anarchist Uprising
and an Archon (look, more A's!) and cut out a Perpetual Care and a Psyche.
I had not realized Alastor doesn't allow you to rush allies and that was
mighty annoying in two of the four games.

The two cards that got my the win today were Metro Underground (having
an untapped Assault Rifle is *huge*) and the Entrancement, that I could
play unblockable in the finals to steal a Nephandus, bring it back to
my hand with Ashur's the next turn and steal another Nephandus.

3 MPA recursion shenanigans are close to indomitable in most end game
showdowns. Anneke was MVP, although Delilah Easton got me the oust on
the finals table.

Deck Name: Mistress Fanchion doesn't have a Heart!
Created by: Matt Wedge & Michael Courtois

Description: The deck SHOULD have a Heart of Cheating but it was in
another deck and I forgot to add it before the tourney. Mistress must
get a Rutor's Hand first thing, then Alastor, then Helicopter, then
Magic the Ankara Citadel. From there, there is enough in the deck to go in
and look for the answer that is needed to attack or defend the game state.
Orlando is always your second minion to help grab the political reins at
the table. If all goes well, you'll be the last one standing.

Robert Scythe

Deck Name: The Quick and the Dead

Description: Infernal Pursuits, Aura Readings and the Barrens to get
your guns on, Ashurs to get back all those necessary discards. In the
tournament I drew the Barrens in my opening hand all three games, too
good. All the Forceds would be Eyes if I owned that many, though I did
use a Forced on a Mind Raped, Pulsed Kallista with only one blood to
fail a block. There's usually another Quicken, 2 DI's and another
intercept location (really missed the DI's). This really wants at
least 1 Aire even if Marcellus cannot use it, and he needs to be the
main. Rather have a Jake than the Hunting Grounds.

Deck Name: [2010 TW] The World's Biggest Small Multirushers

Comments: Many thanks to Fred Scott for lending me 2 Tupdogs for this
tournament. Generally, I have found a 2.5:1 Tupdog-to-!Tremere ratio
to work out pretty well, though a long string of Dogs at the top pf
one's crypt is frustrating.

The objective for this deck is to get additional mileage from the
Tupdogs... decreasing their effective cost from 1 pool per action to
0.5 pool per action and further leveraging both the rush and the slave
option (rush first, untap, available for slave clause, take an action
of the slave clause is not needed).

The deck is supposed to carry 1 more Ashur Tablet, but I seem to own
only 5 at this time. 4, 6 or 7 seem like the right numbers to me,
depending on your risk tolerance and recycling needs.

Synergies:
Carver's + Dragonbound and Carver's + Vessel are pretty clear.
Carver's + Raw Recruit is an indefinate hold on a Recruit target (that
could not be Graverobbed). Carver's not affecting Tupdogs is a bonus.

Heidleburg can save master vampires from dangerous hunting
requirements, can empty a Tupdog of before it explodes and allows 2
Hand of Conrad actions per turn.

A "good" combat ran "set close and agg hands, Grapple, prevent and
untap".

Deck Name: Eldest are Ravnos

Description: Bring out little Ravnos, who in turn bring out littler
Ravnos. Cycle Mozambique Allures easily by going Laibon and the
calling votes using Eldest are Kholo. Vote defense is also Eldest are
KHOLO!

A few comments on the deck:
Turns out the events were mostly useless, destroying my handsize. The
only time someone played the Uncoiling, I was glad to see it!
First time i try heart of Nizchetus: disapointing, i would have
prefered a Tarot or another trinket...
Archon Investigation was, once again, completely useless - being a
dead card for all the time i ever had it in hand.
Probably too many things going on in this deck, jammed a lot. Need to
cut down to 60-66 cards, notably the events, some masters and still
not convinced about the Eldest are Kholo vote mechanism...

Deck Name: Suddenly - vampires and faeries, oh my!

Kiasyd s/b deck. It needs to be slow played at the beginning,
Governing down. Stone travel is an amazing card, if you fail to
stealth past a blocker, you don't need to worry about getting your
face ripped off. Fae Contortion + Oubliette to cancel a Grapple and
S:CE saved me twice on the day. Most useful vamp of the deck is
definitely Arcadian, his special is invaluable.

Deck Name: Govern the Gates

Description: IMHO G4/5 has an insanely good weenie to midcap crypt
for POT and DOM/POT. Inspired by Tuomas Nyberg's TWD "Dr. Sutphens
Dental Care" I used the new crypt, replaced Computer Hackings with
Govern and some cards for my personal taste. Didn't get to play the
deck before the qualifier and really only wanted to qualify, so I'm
very pleased with it's performance. Never used the whole library so
should probably go down to 80 or even 75 cards.

for the win. Came about from a discussion whether just going full head
on with trusts and Life in the City's would be even more effective.
They were.

Izaak Havelaar

-- 4VP in final

Deck Name: A Knight, a Crusader and an Artist

I had awful crypt draws in the preliminaries with me drawing all 5
Converts in the first 6 crypt cards in one game and only one Convert
in the first seven in the other two games. In the finals I actually
had a really good draw, so it can work. Some number tweaking is
probably in order.

I never needed Anarch Railroad, but the Free Press came in handy
quite a few times. I was considering to drop the Blood Dolls
altogether and in retrospect I should have. An extra Dreams and a few
Washes or Suddens would have helped greatly.

The Dutch meta has been loaded with allies for a while so I figured
Entrancement would be a safe bet. As it turned out, I didn't see a
single ally and mostly discarded them. 23 Undue Influence was a tad
bit too high. Should go down to 19 or 20.

This worked perfectly for me. My Enemy's Enemy was intended more as
intercept than as bounce and it did its job perfectly. Two or so more
wakes wouldn't be bad though, as I usually had to fully tap out
playing Undue Influence to keep pressure on my preys and get enough
"transfers" to be able to user my regular transfers to move crypt
cards to the uncontrolled region

Deck Name: Tatu Song

Description: This is a staple deck I've kept built, inspired
by one I watched Robyn Tatu play a number of years ago.
It's always performed well with enough actions, block and
combat damage. The versatility of Deep Song makes it a huge
addition to the deck.

-- 3GW9.5 + 1.5VP in final

Deck Name: Nephandi in Drop Pods

Designed by: Pawel Kukielczynski & Tomasz Pietkiewicz

Deck scored 3GW9.5 + 1.5VP in final, splitting it with Piper Ghouls and
thus winning due to being top seated. Pawel played 1.5 hour without vampires
(Antonio was stolen via Temptation of Greater Power with a bargain price of 12 pool ^^)
and still managed to oust his prey with 3 Nephandi and Carlton van Wyk
and last to the timeout.

Deck Name: Putting "The Dominate" in Indominatability

I played a similar deck a number of years ago at Origins. That deck revolved
more around the combat aspect itself, using Animalism for Drawing Out the Beast.
Camera Phone seems to be my new favorite card and I keep wanting to put them
in most of my decks.

The deck was definitely supposed to have 2 Graverobbing. It's a huge mistake,
since that was the inspiration for me to change the deck in the first place.
I'd probably drop a Superior Mettle and a Rapid Healing for them.

Deck Name: Lawyers, Guns and Money

This is my attempt to make a Ventrue version of the !Ventrue
intercept/combat deck I've been playing, because the new law firm has
such an excellent crypt. Most of the card choices here seem pretty
obvious, but I'll attempt some Morganesque deck commentary for those
that might seem odd or should be changed.

In theory, Mary Anne Blaire is great for this deck. In practice, I think she's
probably too big and should be changed into another Graham and a
smaller vampire. Emily Carson would be a good choice.

I really want his card to be good, and this would seem to be the
deck for it to shine. I don't think I've ever actually played it in
the year or so that I've been working on this deck, though, so that's
probably a pretty good sign that it could be usefully replaced.

Absolutely no idea why there isn't a Giant's Blood in here,
particularly since I put that card into just about every deck I make.
The Island will definitely be changed out for one in the future.

The idea here was that using Scouting Mission over more Governs
would save me blood. In practice, they should all be Governs.

This needs more bleed punch, and the free cards can probably be
safely changed into Conditioning without worrying about its blood
cost. During the tournament, I kept wondering why I was drawing so few
bleed modifiers. More evidence that you should be very familiar with a
deck before you play it in a rated event...

Too much damage prevention. During all four games of the tournament,
there were times when I found myself looking at three or four combat
cards and wishing that they were anything else. Matthew Hirsch took a
great picture of my hand during round three, in which you see six
damage prevention cards and a Walking Stick. Ouch. Some of this will
be taken out for more bleed mods.

If Mary Anne doesn't appear in the crypt any more, this card
obviously needs to be changed into a Sport Bike.

I still haven't figured out if Palatial Estate is ever worth the
action or card slot. I think math is against me on this one, but I'll
leave it here until I can decide definitively.

People will probably mock me for the Shotguns again, but they've
never done wrong by me.

Another "in theory this is great" card, particularly for lockdown
during the two-player game. Probably one or both should be more
straightforward offensive votes like Anarchist Uprising or KRC.

Enough wake tech to make Peal grumpy during the finals when he was
trying to oust me, so it must be just the right amount.

Deck Name: Facebook Stalker

A fairly self-explanatory crypt. My primary concern was to get POT on everybody
so that they can fling superior gates. Calebros is the one exception, but he is
well worth it for ANI and a prince title.

I've never been able to tap SchreckNET, but it's an easy action to cycle.
Some day, I'll probably get to use it.

These are often very useful as stealth for early game set up actions,
especially Casino's 0 stealth action to move blood. Given how often I
use them at basic, it might be wise to swap a couple for Lost in Crowds.

The beauty of this combat package is its consistency, coupled with the ability
to surprisingly divert from the playbook. I have been able to shut down some
very nasty combat decks simply by always having a gate to manuever and do some
damage, and then by surprisingly ending combat or dodging (there used to be some
Behind You, and it could go back in) when I got caught in a bind. Flesh Bond
is great for its flexibility, as it deals 3R damage with Casino's special.

These tend to go on the support minions, not on Casino. They really help
get the oust in once I've crippled my prey's minions

A previous version of this deck, which got me to a final at Origins,
spent a total of 0 pool on library card costs. I added a Pentex Subversion
because it is awesome, and to contest should one land on Casino. (I would
still prefer that it be banned.) Spending so little pool is a major part
of what makes this deck work. Casino and Nikolaus both help get Nosferatu
at reduced prices, and I never bring out more than 4 vampires. Usually I
stick with 3, or even 2 under severe pressure. I use the extra pool as a
buffer because at some point in the game I need to tap out against my prey,
and then wake several times to stop her recovery actions. A lot of wall deck
players seem to imagine that they can do this and magically cycle into the
right mix of combat and reactions. Usually that won't happen. However, by
keeping my pool as high as possible, I can afford to take some serious hits
from my predator while I turn my defense into offense.

I would certainly entertain the possibility of cutting some STSW
for more 2nd Traditions.

Deck Name: Ahrimane Assault

Description: Toolbox ahrimane. Lots of untap. Lots of Carrion,
but no Aid from Bats ! The point is not to destroy the vampire you are
blocking, but merely being able to block a lot, and to survive the
ensuing fight. You are going to oust with Smiling jack anyway. Some
precise rush, mainly to maim the fame. Mark V is here to settle it
against other long range fighters.

Desk: Beasts on the plains, twirling their canes
Description: This desk is inspired by Hugh Angseesing's
deck (and others) of similar name. I wanted to see if I
could make the Fortitude combat + WWS work for Akunanse.
Since the bleed offense is obviously weaker without dom,
and because I wanted to use Freak Drive and have 2 useful
actions for each minion, I added votes, which worked
pretty well. No Secrets is strong, but I was afraid of
Pentex, so I wanted to play a deck that had a reasonable
chance of getting out 2 Magaji. Also, using the Matt
Morgan school of thought, I wanted to have some good
non-threatening building actions early-game, while my prey
weakens my grand-prey. Wise Spider and Owl Companion are
great for that. This deck has limited untaps, but
canceling bounces with Terra Incognita requires only one
untapped minion, which was pretty easy given Wise Spider
or influencing out a new minion.

-- 3VP in final

Deck Name: Enkidu the Great

Description: Enter combat / block - torporize - burn with Nephandus.
Mages were magnificent in game 3 where they blocked several bum's
rushes / bleeds when I didn't have enough manouvers in my hand to
fight with Anson Cel/Gun deck. In the late game it is great to
have additional bleeders with 4 life and no minion in front of you:)
That deck would probably never survive a malk bleed deck.
That was supposed to be a fun deck but after several changes I would
find some potential there.

-- 3VP in final

Deck Name: Bitter and Sweet !Ventrue

This deck was conceived during my absence last September. I didn't
have had the time to assemble it or test it, but when i saw that
Vicent Ripoll won the EC 2009 Day 1 tournament, i decided to give it
a try. You might consider this deck as a mix between Vicent Ripoll EC
TWD and Ruben Feldman's "Vignes" deck. I decided to play with Auspex
to explore Aura Reading. It was a surprise to all players and a
good advantage to me, because i was able to look at their hands and
bled irresponsibly. Future improvements, remove "Recruiting Party",
change Fortitude prevention.

Deck Name: The Baobhan-sith, Kiasyd bleed deck

Description: The idea behind this deck is of course primarily stealth
bleed, with a secondary function of trying to choose one's battles.
Chanjelin Ward and Redcap Wilder pose undesirable consequences to other
Methuselah's vampires, while Shadow Twin and Riddle Phantastique
effectively single out targets and attempt to make them weaker. With
the powerful combat supplied by Mytherceria and Obtenebration, these
vampires can usually choose whether they want to strike hard or make a
quick getaway. Archon Investigations were added to dissuade others
from trying big bleeds, and Centralized Background Checks to make the
dreaded Poker a little more expensive to get out. The strongest
vampire in this deck is, arguably, Marconius since he is the only one
to possess all three disciplines at superior as well as paying 1 less
blood for Mytherceria cards, but this deck really does not focus on
any one vampire in particular. Rather it focuses on getting as many
vampires out as possible, starting out rather slowly to create a wall
of Faerie mischief late in the game.

Deck Name: Holiday Malkavians

I just arrived from my holiday and put this up fast. On our quite
heavy combat environment basic Dementation bleed deck usually gets
devastated and that is why there is some combat in deck. Another thing
is that the vampires are just too big to be sacrificed on a spot.
After the first tournament played with this I can say that there isn't
enough stealth to go through good old fashioned wall deck. But there
is some bounces to wait for a moment to come. Also stopping some key
actions here and there proved to be valuable asset. Maybe couple of
block fails would do good. There certainly is room for improvement.

I got the idea from a Johannes' deck he played in Last Chance of
French Championship 2007 in Paris. I loved the idea but I thought at
that time the deck needed some things to make it works well.

Deck Name: Cholinesterase Inhibition (Redux)

Mark Loughman selected this for me to play in the tournament. Blame
him.

Post game discussion lead to a couple of possible changes that may
have merit:
- substitution of Grooming the Protege for Minion Tap (Speed)
- addition of 1-2 Touch of Clarity (anti-Deflection)

-- 1GW3.5 (5th seed) + 4VP in final

Deck Name: mINIMAL sTYLE

Description: I wanted to build this deck the moment
I've seen Nana Buruku on the white-wolf website
(before the release). Since I didn't have the time
and energy to trade for or the money to buy 15 deep
songs, 9 Ashurs and 4 Target Vitals it took me until
now to get all the cards together (big thanks to
Gyula Erdõs who borrowed me 11 Deep Songs, 3 Ashurs
and 3 Vitals). After playing some friendly games and
this tournament I will replace two cards for another
cats guidance and on the qui vive. Otherwise I am
happy with all my choices.

I made it to the finals with 1GW3.5 as the fifth
finalist. The seating in the finals was actually really
cool for me. With some luck I made 4VP in final

Deck Name: Tutte bjuder till fest

Description: The deck is best slow-played, not to show off too much
Dominate to keep the table guessing at whether you play combat or
votes. Using Mirror Walk and Obedience to never get into a combat you
don't want to enter. Just wait the game out and take the last two VPs
before anyone knows what's happening (at least that's the idea ^_^).
Works really well in a combat environment, would probably be weak
against vote decks with stealth - but thankfully I never had to face
that.

Hugh Angseesing

Deck Name: It's Pronounced "HUG-huh"
Created by: Matthew Morgan

This was the only deck I could really put together for Ebony Kingdom
as I didn't have very many EK cards yet. It was meant to have 4
Quicken Sight, but I guess I accidentally put in an extra. 5 is too
many. The 5th should be Enhanced Senses or something. Also, some of
the cards in the deck (like Familial Bond) are junk, but I wanted to
try everything new. It was originally intended to have Aye, but they
didn't make the cut.

I played this untested in the US Championship and had a very
Goldilocks experience. The first table was too stealthy and I jammed
on combat. The second one was too fighty and I couldn't keep out of
torpor. The third table was just right and I won easily. Hugh
borrowed the deck for the Sunday tournament and made the final where
he won basically by being in the best shape after the table collapsed
(a fine way to win).

His only comment to me was the deck could use a couple of Camera
Phones. Probably a good plan.

Powerbase: Luanda is quite good. It's maybe the only thing here that
makes this deck something other than a poor Toreador gun deck without
the bleed potential.

I'm not sure which of the Newquists built the deck. (John or Danielle)
I just put together what I thought was in it and my own pet cards.
Thanks Newquists!! I remembered, too late, theirs had a Giant's Blood in it.

Deck: I love the Tremere
This deck is all about being flexible and tooling up with whatever the
game situation dictates. Constant pressure forward and bring out the
hordes of Tremere to overwhelm. Seems to work pretty well most of the
time, could maybe do with another Muaziz for her extra stealth for
forward motion but her disciplines aren't great.

Deck based on concepts I saw from Barnaby Dromgool and refined using
Steve Harris' deck from last years LCQ in Melbourne.

-- 4VP in final

Deck Name: Cogwork Brussels

Description: The deck is a Nosferatu multi-action toolbox with an
emphasis on bleeding. The foundation of the deck is Cock Robin's
special ability to untap after a successful action requiring
Animalism. Also Baron Dieudonne can untap after a successful action
(but only by paying a blood). Another untap possibility is provided by
Warsaw Station. With Tier of Souls, Deep Song and eventually Enkil Cog
the deck has considerable bleed potential. Thanks to Preternatural
Strength you only need to make room for few extra combat cards to be
very effective in combat, while being able to do "defensive rushing"
with Deep Song.
Maybe the deck's biggest advantage in a tournament is that other
players tend to underestimate its bleed potential and in general have
trouble assessing the deck's capabilities.

Chris Shorb

Deck Name: Lutz All Out

Description: Lutz is a very good vampire. Vote with Lutz, or bleed for
3 with your IC's. A sprinkling of combat and bounce. Suffers vs
dedicated combat or walls. Should probably include a DI just for things
like No Secrets. The Force of Personalities are mostly for allies,
although doubles as more SCE. I only use the Aire with a non-IC, I'm
very Archon Investigation averse... Ashurs are gold, and definitely won
me the final, and probably helped me win at least one other game.

Deck Name: Fear of the dard [A Marc Dorcel Production]

Description: Tweak from the famous "Fear of the dark" from Florian
Prosper, tournament finalist multiple times. The name comes from a
misspell from Florian, "dard" being a possible reference to manly
attributes in French, and Marc Dorcel is a famous porn movie producer.

The initial deck from Florian Prosper is 70 cards version and has been
finalist of, at least, and I am probably forgetting a lot of other
tournaments: last chance qualifier France 2008, FCQ Lyon 2009

Deck Name: Who needs Deep Song?

Comment: I really enjoy playing this type of straightforward deck.
While others play complicated decks, whine alot and try to make weird
deals to win, this just ousts it's prey. I took Tuomas Nybergs "Dr
Julius dental care" deck and switched Potence for Animalism (Gate for
Aid, Increased for Crows). I can only wonder how good the deck should
have been if I actually owned 14 Deep Song.

Deck Name: Traditional Princess

Description: I re-tooled my Carna deck after KoT came out.
Eyes of Argus is _SO_ efficient for this scheme that I was
able to slide in a touch more combat (Rego Mortus). I also
went to 4 Smiling Jacks. A first turn Jack means I don't have
to worry about a time out at the table. Ponticulus is also very cool.

-- 3VP in final

Deck Name: The Beautiful People

Description: Very reslient deck, but not really capable of fast ousts.
Need to do something to speed it up. Giant's Blood was gold all day.
Obediences were gold. Sniper Rifles were useless in ANI heavy meta.
Ashur Tablets weren't great either - if I got them up early, I didn't
really need to recur anything, and if I got them late, the game was
already over. Would be better off replacing them with some funk
(Millicent, From a Sinking Ship, etc).

Deck Name: "Tupdog's Diary"

Builder and Player: Iñaki Puigdollers, inspired by "Sudario Diary"
Orian Gissler' s deck

Note: most people ask why do I play Tupdog here, there are plenty of
reasons indeed: permits me not to repeat vampires which grants better
crypt cycling, once on table they can recruit a generic ally (w/o fear
of being blocked and sent to torpor) before vanishing, they give you
specific rush defense, may play delaying tactics, and in the ash-heap
they may turn into wraiths once KD is full... though it' s a pity
they are non-unique.

After the Tournament I would only add a Vox Domini, maybe instead of
Giant' s Blood

V.P. 3 + 2 + 0 + 3 (Final) = 8

Builder and Player: Iñaki Puigdollers

Note: the only change I' ll do after playing the tournament is the
Headquarters for a Dark Influence, since normally you have enough
political influence and the versatility DI provides could be priceless.

Deck Name: Jacob's Pack

Description: Radoslaw Staszewski's recent deck from the news group.
Little tweaks here and there, especially taking more out of Jacob's
special. I never used Frontal Assault but it has potential. Loki's
Gifts fit nicely here as you'll be hunting after Tribute. The deck can
bleed pretty well but Fame and Dragonbound were essential lunge cards.
Dark Influences could be replaced by a couple of Direct Interventions
to cancel Entrancements and such. Two Garous and Ossian were stolen
from me during the finals...

Deck Name: Team Africa

Description: Try to build up without looking like a huge threat, which
is tricky. Decrypt even while you have unique vampires in the
uncontrolled region, especially if you don't have Lumumba or all 4
clans yet. Cross-table oust if necessary to stablize the table. Use
the Abombwe's on 4-caps, so you can get them up to 5 for Ancestor
Spirit, or a bigger voter cap. Voter cap with Lumumba, since that's
the only vamp with PRE (if you get out 6 vamps, you have a ~76% chance
of getting Lumumba.)

Much based/stolen from Teemu Sainomaa's deck, so credit should go that

Deck Name: Neo-Lawfirm

Description: There are now 3 different lawfirm crypts and this one is
probably the weakest of the three. Something that makes people
underestimate the vampires you bring into play from time to time. The
deck is very versatile and features plenty of silver bullets which
helps you handle most situations you encounter.

huge, as was 'Kaymakli Fragment + Midget'. If your sitting next to a
Rush-Combat Deck, the game is over. Payload should be slightly
increased.

Johannes Walch

-- 4VP in final

Deck Name: Johannes Commands the Legion

Description: Basic idea was to use Command the Legion in any deck. I
made a G4/5 Ventrue, but was not too happy about it. Consulted the TWDA
and found Otto's G4/5 Ven, from where I borrowed a lot of ideas.

Crypt was nice, opted to double Johannes, well because it is
Johannes. Also I have Victor, never drew him, though. Most people have
DOM which is good.

Not too many surprises here. Monastery is cool, esp. when followed up
with a Parity Shift. I have 6 trifles there, master section is light
which is good because the deck cycles really fast.

Light on action cards since often your actions don't suceed, rather
have modifiers. Mind Rape are great doubling as defense and forward.
Command the Legion is really good when you can pull it off, disabling
blockers and deflecters and just Freak Drive afterwards.

Just enough payload to get the VPs. didnt have any seductions at
first, but this was very useful, just enough Freak Drives would have
missed every single one. Perfect Paragon is pretty good, versatility is
well worth the blood.

Light vote package to justify the Freak Drives and much needed
poolgain.

Just enough to keep people guessing

I was not sure at all about those cards, but both proved to be very
effective. Versatility really rules in this deck

card and designed to capitalize to the maximum the power of the
NEW CARTHAGE!!! Really a super-power card, especially in this

to play but strong enough to resist in almost all situations!

Humo or Gemini crank out Nocturns and Underbridge Strays. Hannah
Montana and "We Like the Moon" Guedado get War Ghouls. Use Agent of
Power to bump up disciplines (especially for getting superior Strays)
or to give a Tzimisce Obtenebration for fast Nocturn + War Ghoul
action. Remember to use the presses from the Strays to help your War
Ghouls (I often used them to bail out of ANI combat). Deploy Corrupt

-- 1GW6.5 (1st seed) + 3VP in final

Deck Name: No secrets 2009

Description: The classic Akunanse/Magaji

Last table: Ventrue 4-5 Votes; Toreador Grand Ball 1-2; Tremere 3-4
Control rusher; Akunanse; Ventrue 4-5 weenie votes/bleeder.

When Tremere puts in play Mistress Fanchion and the Akunanse puts in
play Nkule and Ugadja, nobody can play votes without "bribes" (no the card).
Akunanse plays No secrets, and the game was over for the Tremere and the
Ventrue winnie. Ventrue 4-5 played his 2 Daring with the dawn, and after
this, cannot pass any votes. With Conditioning can pass Toreador Grand Ball,
and without opportunities, said "Ousted".

Akunanse's deck never lose a table.

Vincent Ripoll

Deck Name: Aim and Chain

Description: An easy to play bruise'n'bleed deck. Get out the 5-caps,
Govern down on the small ones, you should quickly have 5 vamps out
with dom and for and plenty (about 20) pools left. Bleed steadily,
even for 1, and use the magic of the Target Vitals to maim the
blockers.
It resists quite well (surprisingly, but that's the magic of TV)
against real fight decks.
It entered the final at the third place and made GW4 during the final
between a palla embrace deck (predator) and a !Malk BS (prey).
There is an alternate crypt in group 4-5 but it uses higher caps and
is therefore too slow.

Deck Name: Circle of Madness

Description: Use Lutz and other IC to gain vote superiority, but don't
call politics to aggressively or you will get bashed, rather use
Lutz's text to damage your prey's pool and to keep him from helping
others vote if he has any votes and also if you're encountering wall
just let someone else's politics do your job.
Try to go combo bleed+true love's face+crock tongue+change of target
for max damage on your prey's minions.
Just play out slow and give everyone a chance to reduce their pool to
reasonable amounts before you start an offensive. Also calling
politics in predator's turn with Enkil Cog is nice:)

Deck Name: Nocturns turn the Cog

Appius Claudius Corvus loves to reveal his Enkil Cog to the world.
There are plenty of Nocturns to ensure that some bleeds of one get
thru before the lunge.
This deck took 1.5VP in the first round, swept up 5VP in the
second round, and squeaked in 3VP in final for the tournament win.

Deck Name: Foundation for the Win

Description: It's pretty straightforward. You kine, you con boon and
you bleed until you win. You'd better be good at looking weak because
it's hard to say you're not a threat when you got 7 minions bleeding
for two and having a vote. The deck is based on a foundation deck I
found on the web, retooled without the gehenna cards to get less table
hate.

Deck Name: Lasombra Mamba 2008

This is a variant of the Lasombra obt/dom stealth/bleed deck that I've
been playing for years. The primary function is stealth/bleed, but it
has a few non-stealth options like Anarch Troublemakers and
Seduction. The biggest change I made for this particular variant was
going for group 3/4 instead of group 2/3. The g3/4 crypt is
definitely weaker on votes but has a somewhat better selection of obt/
dom mid-caps.

a toolboxy throw-in

good for shattering hearts and sport bikes

Primarily used to avoid AI, or to scope out wakes or bounce.

Really not worth a blood or a card slot.

Obviously could use some On the Qui Vive

Description: I played with Matt playing his version, but I have no
idea what he's actually packing in the deck. This is what seemed
like it would work.

Izaak Havelaar

-- 3VP in final

Deck Name: The wall that is not really a wall

This deck originally started as mono Auspex deck with guns and Black
Hand-tech for bloating purposes, but evolved into something that can
actually oust players as well. The gameplan is to feign being a bleed
deck that's not drawing into its payload while bloating enough to bring
out a few minions and equip one or two Magnums. Once you feel you're
pretty safe from your predator, start actively blocking your prey's
minions with Eagle's Sight and bleed hard into him. Once you have
secured a VP just bloat and block some more and be the last man
standing for the 3VP game win.

Taste of Vitae is vital to keep your bloat going and the Target Vitals
act a nasty surprise that deters combat decks from picking a fight with
you. It can also be used to knock out a weakened minion or put a rather
painful dent into a War Ghoul or some other ally. Other than that it's
really just a wall with a healthy amount of stealth bleed to go with it.

Lasse Pöyry

Deck Name: Lasombra capitalists

Description: Trying to bleed without spending all the blood from
my vampires. It is good to be blocked every now and then so you
are not seen as a table threat.

/* I made this deck in 30 minutes and there are some second best
solutions just because of my unfortunate but self-inflicted time
constraint

Bottom heavy line of capacities. I'm quite happy with my
choices here

Could do without all the Lasombra-masters

I was suprised to not be able to actually use the
Graverobbing. I was expecting much more violent behavior.

Free dodge with additional strike is so strong. Actually I was
planning to get blocked every once in a while and thats why I
have more combat cards than stealth.

These were supposed to be cannon fodder but I dealt
differently with rush decks (in round 1 I gave Beast one hour to
go forward and get an oust before trying to oust its
controller. A deal that was worth it for both of us I think). But
they actually served as offence and in the final table Nocturns
finished both of my ousts in a single turn.

Card flow was decent and I was quite happy with the balance
between modifiers and combat cards. The deck in itself isn't very
clever or anything, but 38 Dominate cards seems to get the work
done. */

Deck Name: Weepy Bleed V4

Description: Fairly straightforward, archetypical weenie [pre] bleed
with 4-cylinder crypt engine.

Not as defensive as tap-n-bleed Mind Numb [PRE] versions, but
significantly faster to the oust.

Jost is a questionable investment, but +1 stealth has won enough games to merit continued inclusion.

Propaganda is hit or miss. It has won enough games to still occupy a couple of slots among the 48 bleed actions.
// Public Trust is pure gold here, frequently financing a 1-cap vampire early in the game.

From a Sinking Ship seems to get used in about half of the games played.
// Momentum's Edge is a bit questionable, but a few extra pool never hurts in the late game.
// Previous versions have toyed with Direct Intervention, which would still be a fine inclusion.

Deck Name: Amavarati et ses amis

Description: My take on what is becoming a classic breed-bleed/vote
archetype. Inspired largely by the latest TWDA version of Inaki
Jimenez but adapted to my taste of playing lots of masters plus the
inclusion of some staple cards designed to survive the harsh qualifier
environment and a reduced capacity crypt.

Deck Name: Arika Turbo

Comments: Well the run is you get Arika out, wait a turn
(hopefully no Pentex, smash, or her getting torped), next
you equip her with soul gem, Freak Drive to untap, then
call Praxis S whatever to increase her capacity +1 and to
make her prince of whatever, Awe it so you burn the blood
off Arika down to 2, pass the vote with 22 votes for, now
you are ready to bleed, Force of Will +2 bleed, daring the
dawn to make it unblockable at inferior, Conditioning for
a bleed of 8, taking 3 agg damage burning Arika and a new
ones comes into play. Play Praxis, Awe, Force of Will,
Daring the Dawn, Conditioning bleed of 8, if you get stuck
you can play distraction to not only get rid of the other
soul gems and rubbish from your hand but to get back on
track with the card combo: Freak Drive to then call PS

repeat until you have wiped everyone out

Matthew Morgan

-- 2GW8 + 2.5VP in final

Deck Name: DoC bleed

Description: The challenge I gave myself was to create a good
Daughters of Cacophony deck that wasn't a copy of
Ben Peal's NAC winning deck. This one is mostly
inspired by a deck of Forrest Nielsen's that won
a qualifier back in 2003 and made the NAC final the
same year. It adds !Toreador for bleed defense and
has a good chunk of combat defense. With another minute or two
left on the clock, I would've ousted my last prey for
a 3rd 4VP win (but I'm plenty satisfied with just a win).

Never saw Gael or Remilliard, who are probably the weakest crypt
choices here, so just as well. A couple other players have
insisted that this crypt needs Greta, but she wouldn't have
really helped this time. Sheila's +1 bleed and Fortitude were
just more useful.

Strangely, the Anarch Troublemakers never were that important
and I didn't draw them often. Could use another Pentex and
probably Direct Intervention. The Presence masters didn't
matter much since I mostly got out minions with PRE.

This seems like a lot, but I never discarded a bleed card and
often ran out. I probably had some chances to steal Hugh's
Carlton in the final, but he was really doing me more good
where he was, so I just bled with the Entrancements.

More Siren's Lure is a no-brainer, but this is all I own.
Oddly enough, most of my preys never tried to block me at
all, so again it didn't matter this time. Daring the Dawn
could certainly go here.

Only one Delaying Tactics? What was I thinking? It totally
saved me in round 1 and the final. Another copy should
certainly be here. Tourette's Voice was completely useless
and sadly misplayed a couple of times (sorry!). I thought it
might be good for saving grandpreys or for some unexpected
intercept, but the need never arose. Likewise, I think I
bounced one bleed in the entire tournament. That's something
you just can't plan for.

This worked out great. With all the other blood costs
in the deck, playing a Soak against hands for 1 is completely
worthwhile, which is mostly what I did with them.

-- 3VP in final

Deck Name: Dualism in America
Created by: Hugh Angseesing & Marko Lindroos

Description: Very flexible deck based upon Marko's Dualism deck.
Main changes are reducing the dual forms by three
as I was seeing far too much combat in the previous
week's games. 2x Powerbase Barranquilla were also
replaced for Chicago and a Blood Doll as I much prefer
Chicago. Meant to change the crypt for more Malabranca's
but never got around to it. Would then drop the Guarded
Rubrics, as I never seem to draw it when I have Ondine anyway.

Deck Name: Lots of Babies

Description: It's a little tricky to acquire 30 Trophy: Progeny irl
(thanks gNat and Ian!), but once you get them, this deck can be fun to
play. It reliably takes advantage of turns 1-3 master phases, which
are often wasted in most decks. Miller's special is incredibly good -
he is so perfect for this deck, and Anson compliments him
beautifully. My goal in designing this deck was to get a trophy deck
in the TWDA, and assuming I didn't make any stupid illegal deck
errors, I'm excited to post the first one. Trophy: Progeny is very
powerful in such large numbers, especially because it can act that
same turn. Choosing the right Red List target is tricky, because you
want something that you can burn, but other players can't. Whenever
possible, choose a target that your prey controls. Then, just sit
back and wait as long as possible, building the perfect combat hand,
holding the Palle Grande, playing 2-3 Trophies per turn. Try to
convince the table that you're not a threat (much easier when the
Palla Grande is in your hand, and not on the table.) If things are
flowing smoothly, you'll have 10+ Trophies on the table by turn ~8,
and then you can lunge when you're ready. If you have a fast
predator, bring up Anson first because he can Deflect, Parity Shift,
and 2nd Trad to keep you in the game. If you draw The Parthenon
early, you can consider bringing up Miller first. Without The
Parthenon, you'll hand jam on Masters. It's very rare that I discard
a Trophy: Progeny in this deck. Golconda was very helpful to keep me
(or an ally) in the game long enough for the combo to go off.

Deck Name: Two-Fisted Hand Tools

As I write this up I notice I have 88 cards instead of 90, and since I
was decked 2 of my 3 games I should probably address this! Blood
management can be an issue and getting off a well-timed Festivo 2 of
the 3 games was key. Mind Rape was less useful than I
anticipated... Probably better off with Scouting Missions to increase
my crypt-machine mechanism early in the game. Deep Cover Agent is
handy when I remember to actually use it! Card flow is handled with
Heart and the 3 Dreams, but there were a couple of times I had to play
through some ugly clumping. A few more permanents are probably in
order, particularly Guarded Rubrics and a weapon or two.

Deck Name: Along comes the spider

Description: This deck won the mini qualifier in Torun, a local
tournament in Warsaw, and managed to get into the final round during
the Polish ECQ. It's a very solid deck against most archetypes, card
flow is really impressive, and it does tend to be underestimated (not
too often, but it happens). It's also a very fun deck to play, in the
ideal setup you block out your predator while making constant pressure
on your prey.

Deck Name: Mummy Strength!

Description: Get mummies. Block, fight, rush, bleed, win!

The larger vampires are obviously not meant to be influenced out and
never were. They might as well have been Enkidu, Hazimel, Sha-Ennu,
Saulot, etc., but it never really mattered as I rarely had a mummy
burned by losing all its life. Two copies of Halim and 3x Effective
Management meant I got him out in every preliminary round. In the
final he showed up late and ended up having to join the ranks of the
mummies.

The media outlets helped a lot. I'm a firm believer in Unmasking +
media locations in an ally deck. It really gets the job done.
Centralized Background Check was in my starting hand in the first two
games, but I didn't see it in round 3 when I was killed by .44s. Ah
well. It's good in theory.

Set's Curse was originally Far Mastery, but more of my crypt can play
Set's Curse and there are more available targets. In round 1, I was a
little slow with it and Meno Ngari got a skill card before I could hit
him with it. In round 2, I turned Lupo into a snake, which was really
cool, even if it probably didn't cause me to win any more than I was
already winning. I died too quickly to make use of it in round 3, but
turning one of Ben Peal's War Ghouls into a snake would've been pretty
great. There were small vampires that would've made good targets for
this in the final, but sadly I had nobody with SER to play it, so it
had to be discarded.

10x Spell of Life was pretty good in a 61 card deck. I normally got
the Spell off around turn 7 or so, I think. I never tried to get it to
happen again and never needed it. Each game concluded a turn or two
after I completed the Spell (or in the case of round 3, the game
concluded for me the turn before I would've completed it).

Heavy intercept would've probably been a problem for me, but luckily
there was none. My first prey of the day was an Akunanse deck, but I
managed to block it tooling up with intercept permanents. Veils were
good to add stealth to mummies (since I never had anyone with OBF for
cloak). Conditioning, just because I'd be crazy not to.

Carlton made frequent appearances. I had Ossian in round 2, but he
really only served to cycle my prey's Swallowed by the Night maneuvers.
I got Qetu out in the first round and actually successfully bled my
prey twice, which I think is pretty good (she bleeds for 2). An early
Nephren-Ka probably gave me the final, because I rushed the dom/obf
deck a lot to keep it from having the steam to oust me. I sadly never
had the pool to get Kherebutu or Tutu. I'll have to keep playing the
deck until I make good use of them. Vagabond Mystic was the 61st card
in this deck (originally designed at 60), but I never drew him.

I believe the only one of these I ever played was FBI Special Affairs
Division, which was really useful when Carlton was blocking Matata at 1
blood. Matata couldn't take the risk of going to torpor and never
coming back, so Carlton got away with dodging three or four times.

the Preternatural Strength and Therbold Realty, both of which are very

Deck Name: Klaus but no cigar

Like most reactionary builds this deck is fairly slow moving. The idea
is to get the tag-team combo of Venere and Klaus out, block key
actions, grab a .44 and hole up until the table plays out. Once other
decks start losing their legs begin turning the screws with a few big
bleeds (Palla Grande/Aire of Elation), playing a Smiling Jack and
dropping a strategic Pentex Subversion. The lower cap vamps are there
purely for weenie support; playing the odd Art Scam and for the Palla
Grande bleed push. As always, I over did the master card count. ;)

Deck Name: "3/4 Shark"
(Or how Bob Marley Smoked a Bowl of Convergence on 4/20 FTW).

Mark's notes:
Into Thin Air did not impress me and will probably go back
to being Domain of Evernight. Going to the third Dreams meant
the Lupine Assault was mostly useless. 6 Wash cards made
Bleeding the Vine redundant.

Victor Kemp

Deck Name: Victor's Deck of Dominate

This was our national constructed tournament event held at Upcon 2008.
There was a good attendence at this tournament and the metagame was
dominated by bruise-bleed decks. The final table was swept up by Victor,
after some cunning tabletalk and strategic deal-breaking.

The final table looked like this:
Victor playing Sneak/Bleed Protean Dominate bleeding
Jacque playing Kiasyd Sneak/Bleed toolbox bleeding
Michael playing Tupdog and Friends rush deck bleeding
Jesse playing Setite are tempting and enticing deck bleeding
Alex Pardo playing Shambling Hordes deck

Description: Straight forward sneak and bleed deck with Dominate
and Protean. The general lack of intercept at the tournament certainly
helped this deck work, as well as Stanislava's repeat performances.

Deck Name: Sheldon & Co 2008

Description: Standard Ugly Princes. Was preyed on by
Jon Glas' Marcus Vitel & Hunters in 3 of the 4 rounds.
I back ousted him in the 1st round, then was one of
the victims of a sweep by them in the 2nd.

Is only able to stand up to Hunter Nega-Cept if both
bounces, both DI's, and 7 of 8 2nd Trads are drawn in
the 1st 40 cards. If you'd like to draw a Bowl Of
Convergence, then there should be more than one in your deck.

-- 5VP in final

Deck Name: La Cancion de la Patata Magica

Description: I suppose there's not a ton of strategy here except that
it's better to bleed for a lot with everyone than bleed for a lot with
only one or two minions.

Maybe 2 more Stone Travel and a couple Shroud of Absence would be good
here since Quincy and Dame Hollerton can't get stealth from the other
Mytherceria cards. My Shrouds were in another deck when I built this
one and I didn't have them with me when I decided to play this one.

Combat was practically irrelevant to this tournament. I could've
dropped all these cards. Never played the Entombment. It's mostly
only there for allies since most of my crypt only has obt.

I had high hopes for Blind Spot, but it was never useful. It would be
better to have a Jake Washington or two or maybe a Prophecies of
Gehenna. In fact, I tried to borrow one of those before the
tournament, but none were to be found.

Much better than Vessel in this deck. All those Dominate cards bleed
my vampires dry. Can't afford to delay gratification with Vessels.

Those Mexicans beat me to the punch in all four rounds!

See? No need for Vessel. I Suddened my predator's Vessel in the final
to keep a Blood Doll on Quincy.

A couple Delaying Tactics or even Covencraft wouldn't be a terrible
idea here.

Johannes Walch

-- 2GW7.5 + 1.5VP in final

Deck Name: AAAAA (Quintuple A)
Created by: Johannes Walch <- Florian Prosper <- Matthew Morgan

Anson, Alexandra, Anneke, Aching Beauty and Ambulance
I got the original idea from Matthew Morgan (called Love Doctor), Florian
"Blondin" Prosper did some heavy tweaking to it once I sent him the
list. So mad props go out to these two (really awesome) players. I made
some final adjustments on the morning before the tournament (normal) and
it worked pretty well.

Deck Name: Howling Anarchs

Description: Continuing in my quest to with a tournament with
every clan alphabetically, I had to put together an Ahrimanes
deck. I hadn't ever played them much and generally felt like
they were a decent clan, but Howler always goes to torpor, so
that's a pretty major liability. I asked for some advice on
the #vtes irc chat and eventually jhattara gave me the idea of
playing your traditional blocking felines with some Anarch Revolts
to speed the table up. Great idea! Still not having much experience
with Ahrmanes, I basically copied David Quinonero's famous deck
and shoehorned some Anarch Revolts. It turned out pretty well,
if a little slow. I won my first round by the skin of my teeth
and had to settle for a 2-2 split in the 2nd as my prey sort of
ran away with the table. The deck was ideal for the more
deliberately-played final and I won with 2.5VP.

I decided to throw a couple small guys in, but in general
they weren't super helpful. The deck is basically Howler
with maybe The Siamese or Cynthia filling in if Howler is
unwilling or unable to perform her duties.

Not free and doesn't provide a press. Can we get some
errata? The one time I tried to play this it was Suddened.

The Anarch Revolts and Fame were responsible for both my
game wins. I think I nailed a couple Blood Dolls with Vessels,
but I mostly included them over Blood Dolls because I was
worried about master hand jam.

Didn't need Aranthebes because of a lack of weenie predators.
I mostly played the Enchant Kindreds at inferior, so they might've
been better bleed cards (Legal, Social, Entrancement?). 4x Nose
of the Hound was pretty nice.

Okay, so I actually got my firsts ousts in the games I
won by bleeding for 2 at 1 stealth, but I like to think the
Anarch Revolts and Fame are what got me there. These were
pretty good for keeping things up close and personal with
Flash Harrison.

Never when I needed it. Sigh. Same with the Guardian Angel.

This was mostly only good for backousting Jesse when he
wouldn't let Howler out of a Pentex.

I nearly lost the first game because I just couldn't draw
any untap or intercept and my prey was getting away with murder
for it. It's weird because this looks like plenty to me.

The Murders are pretty good here in that they make up for
the fact that the support crew have inferior Animalism (not
too scary on its own) and let Howler save on blood by doing
a good amount of damage from long range.

Pretty light combat package, especially since 8 of those
cards don't actually do anything to hurt the opponent or
protect my minion. The deck obviously relies heavily on
Howler's natural abilities and whatever permanents it can
put together. Some Leapfrog or Majesty or something might've
been good, but I didn't feel like there was room for it
and it was more important to be able to hurt opposing minions.

Deck Name: Tembo!!

Description: Demdemeh makes a herd of elephant allies with 2 hand
damage and one bleed. Babalawo Alafin combines with Maabara to allow
you to craft the hand you need.

It didn't work the way it was intended to in the finals. In retrospect
I should have brought out Demdemeh instead of Wamukota as my second
vampire, but I thought his ability would be important for my retain
actions(it was never used). I never could get enough pool to bring
out Demdemeh afterwards. A herd of elephants would have greatly
increased my ousting ability.

It is nice to know that the deck can survive without all of the "A"
team in play.

Darby Keeney

Deck Name: Mergen's Quandry

Description: [CEL] gun

Built so that I could better understand the way [CEL] gun decks win
tables. Named in honor of my friend Kevin's critique of the 1st cut
deck design at the 2006 NAC.

I pay slightly more than the bare minimum for G1/2 vampires with
[CEL] to support Atonement and a touch of [pre].

One Waste Management Operations could fit in here.

It's rare to feel that I need more rushes to impact both predator and prey.
I think this is the right number, combined with the 3 Frontal Assaults.

Never seen impactful use - this would be my first cull.

The combat package is pretty bulky - but is resilient and pretty effective

I seldom count on equip actions for the .44, so the NRA PAC should be culled.

The 3-card vote package is the most consistent source of pool damage in this deck,
despite my vampires' lack of titles.

These should probably be "Eluding the Arms of Morpheus" for Yawp Court and Atonement.

Deck Name: Gio hand size bruise/bleed

Description: Get a giant hand size and win. It's fun! Cards I
intended to include but couldn't find before the tournament: Benedict
Giovanni, Esoara, Almodo Giovanni, and Earl in my crypt, and
Filchware's, Club Zombie, PB: Cape Verde, Parthenon, Brothers Grimm,
and Palatial Estate in my Library. At the tournament, I played
against Esoara, Earl, and Parthenon, so I'm glad I didn't end up
contesting them!

John Eno

Deck Name: Prostitute Laundry

Midget would be much better as The Colonel or Evan Klein. I discarded
the hunting ground during every game in which I saw it. I drew Kite
in every game, and his bonus intercept was so effective that I'd consider
adding a second copy, or a copy of Anatole. (Actually, given how much
I ended up paying for Midget in most of the games today, he might be
usefully replaced by either of them.)

only real problem comes if the prey is straight forward as he can go

my malk B&S prey with his own major boon thanks to the fragment
playing it on my predator to keep him alive just enough time for the

Deck Name: Imbued at Last

Description: The deck's goal is to setup as fast as you can by
depleting your library and to use Unity/Anthelios to cycle back
whatever master you need the most at the time.

It was enough. I never needed more than this.

Heart is no good when it shows up late, but this is a small price
to pay when compared to how good it is when I draw it early (it was
decisive in the final table).

I only packed the extremely necessary events, so I wouldn't draw
any extra table hate, and was lucky enough to put all 3 in play in
every game. The decks runs wonderfully with those 3 on the table.

-- 5VP in final

Deck Name: Mad Dancers

Description: Bring out the highest capacity vampire in your uncontrolled
region. Once he or she is in play, play Danse Macabre on him/her and have
him/her perform two actions per turn (The Call & bleed, most of the time,
or Revelations & bleed, etc.). Thus, you should be able to put a few
vampires in play at a low cost and quickly. The rest is easy: bleed your
preys to death:)

Daneel is correct - if a card is weak, I should stop playing it.
There should be one additional Flash Grenade in the deck - it's
entirely possible someone else from the event has it.

!toreador Obf vote/bleed
Greta is the star here (as always), use Minion Tap and voter cap to
gain pool. Get a cardinal as soon as you can, if its a heavy vote
table be patient and wait for a awe and be sure to have the edge.
Use Jost and jessica's extra stealth so you do your votes on 2 stealth
minimum. If you cant get any votes of for some reason play a palla and
just bleed.

Deck Name: Le fourbe et ses amis invisible

L'objectif est simple, sortir les nocturnes, les utiliser comme
bloqueur ou bleeder, et bien sûr stealth bleeder avec Govern/
Conditionning. Je n'ai pu tester le deck qu'une seule fois avant le
tournoi et des modification s'imposent. Ainsi, je remplacerais les
deux Entombments par un Path et un Nocturn, je remplacerais les
Charisma avec des Perfectionnist et j'ajouterais 2 Delaying Tactics.
Il est à noter que ce deck se révèle particulièrement efficace contre
les weenie Potence et autres Tupdogs de ce monde.

Deck Name: Fuzzface

Description: This deck has solid offense but obviously should drop the
Dual Forms for more stealth/Freak/whatever. Another take on the deck
might be to use Ogwon who has for/OBF/PRE and costs 1 less but also gives
you access to the Opium Den and some other good stuff like Enticement at
superior.

No real reason to use 13 vamps, but I couldn't decide which obf weenie
not to use here. Zubeida's conditional +1 bleed only came up once and
it didn't matter. Not much of an ability, if you ask me.

Note the Blood Dolls, not Vessels. Vessels were all over the place in
this tournament, but I'll swear by Blood Dolls in a deck like this.

Another Entrancement or three would be good. Never had an opportunity
to play Enchant Kindred at superior so those should be more plentiful
perhaps, or Social Charms. Six Dream World seems a little low, but I
didn't want to have them too early or the extent of the threat I
represented would be too apparent. It's a very powerful card.

This is kind of a middling amount of stealth in my book for a deck like
this. I think I would've had some trouble against heavy intercept
because none of my actions are that damaging individually. Spying
Missions were mostly used for extra bleed. No need to spy if I'm
bleeding my grandprey for 1.

Great card. Extremely useful in this deck.

I think I was the only person in the tournament running any events at
all, so I didn't play The Uncoiling. I played Narrow Minds in the
final and it helped me some, but it probably didn't alter the outcome.

Confusion of the Eye was only used on bleeds. Truth in Ink worked out
quite well. I wasn't sure it would because I tend to take a sort of
Murphy's Law view toward bleed reduction (4 reduction cards in your
hand? your predator calls KRC!), but they seemed good and I had no
trouble playing them on bleeds of more than 1.

Here's the other slightly embarrassing part of my deck. Bleeding under
Dream World and attempting to Form of Mist a blocker doesn't work. As
soon as the block is successful, Dream World goes away. All the same,
I didn't mind having a few s:ce when the Shambling Hordes rushed me.
In this case, Earth Meld would've been better, but I don't know if that
would be generally true. I had considered Unholy Penance as well, but
decided that free s:ce, when available, should always be used.

Obfuscate, farming* capability and exponential vote gain. Ousting power is
supplied by KRC, farming courtesy of Voter Cap/Minion Tap and a few ‘in case'
extras thrown in (e.g. The Secret must be Kept for the Imbued factor).

*Note: In South Africa we use the term 'farm' instead of 'bloat'.

Deck Name: Black Hand CEL

Description: The deck is yet another testament to my love for Black
Hand, even without using the neat new cards of wonderfulness for Black Hand.
This deck focuses on attrition using Zip Guns/Blur/Taste. Let's
be honest: Zip Guns are not the most wonderful weapon ever,
but the idea is to simply survive combat until the end game.
Then, maneuvers are extremely powerful, and selective torporing
will balance the table into a win. There is a subtle but
important blood denial strategy that I feel stays nicely under
the radar. Generally the tables were unaware of the danger
until it was too late. Thuggees, Vampiric Disease, Restricted
Vitae, Strained Vitae Supply, Vessel, and moderate combat all
work well together to present a solid package for that purpose.
My own worries are handled by Zip Guns (to avoid disease),
Weeping Stone, and Corporeal Reservoirs.

Special mention of Vampiric Disease: it was a key card to victory
in both the final and two rounds beforehand. I love Vessel; it
should have a big impact once people forget about Vessel and
play more Blood Dolls again.

The deck definitely carries weaknesses against Animalism combat
or bigger guns. You have to make sure that you handle these
decks by talking them off the table or targeting their weakness.
For larger guns, pool is often a problem. Hone in on that. For
decks with Animalism, there is a limit to how many times they
can repeat their schtick. Focus on killing one guy at a time.
With +2/+3 intercept plus permanents, you should be able to
manage it. Your "defense" against combat ends is that no one
is hurting you. That's benefit enough. Eventually they will run
out and they will be low on blood to boot. And if you get that
Vampiric Disease. . . . .

I would totally cut the single Art of Memory for a Reunion Kamut.
I just couldn't find one at the time.

Third of the cards in the deck I never managed to play to any

Ben Peal

-- 4VP in final

Deck Name: Angellore (Live In LA)

This is a modified version of the deck I used to win the 2007 Origins
qualifier. I chose this version of breed-boon for the 2007 NAC (and
EC) because of its anti-ally capabilities, its combat defense, its
surprise lunge capability, and its strong vote lock/push. I dropped
the 2 Enchant Kindred in favor of more Entrancements and another
Direct Intervention. I changed a Consanguineous Boon into an
Autarkis Persecution and 2 Kine Resources Contested into 2
Conservative Agitations as a defense against Delaying Tactics. I
dropped the 2 Change of Target and the 1 Crusade: Philadelphia
since I wasn't getting much use out of them. In their place, I added
an event package of Absimiliard's Army, Break the Code, and The
Uncoiling. Absimiliard's Army isn't in there for the synergy with
Entrancement (though it's nice), but is instead intended as a defense
against rush combat. This paid off in Round 2 of the 2007 NAC,
when I had Norm Brown's Basilia deck as a predator. Again, Siren's
Lure is a devastating card. It can change a run of the mill "bleed
for 1 to get the edge" turn into an ousting lunge. To answer a
frequently-asked question, I don't use Ensemble because it's just
asking to be bounced, leaving me to spend the next turn hunting with
everyone.

Jay Kristoff

-- 3VP in final

Deck Name: SoCalspex

This deck was designed to take advantage of the usual championship
day one desperation. I was disappointed when I had no stealth/bleed
predators in any of my preliminary rounds. I was able to bounce
some large, stealthy bleeds in the final. That allowed me to oust
my first prey. I then won a long, thought out, heads up duel against
Pete Oh's triple A deck. Thanks to those who organized, played in,
and judged this tournament.

Deck Name: Pale Panda Warriors

In theory, this fat Pander deck taps people with various
special abilities and Majesty's and supposedly does pool
damage. In practice, bounce is pretty good, especially
with evasion bleed as predator (prelim round), and hanging
around accidentally results in VPs (finals).

"This deck looks tame out of the gate and seemed to have
it's trouble aganst my AUS intercept deck. But I stood
corrected as I faced this menace in the final only to fall
helplessly as his predator to the floor. I was amazing at
the glorious victory he pulled out in the final seconds of
the match to crush the Lasombra." - Mike Courtois

Adventures in cup

I built the deck to try out Mytherceria cards for my first time.
I liked the versatility of Fae Contortion and many of the others.
Those cards proved to be great. The Darby dance works
especially well in this deck because of all my reaction cards.
Many thanks to Bob Joseph for running the event,
and to Darkwood Manor for hosting it.

Roberta Crumplin

Deck Name: The Slow Withering

When I built this deck I had in mind something that could righteously
stop vampires, that could interfere with their hunting in particular
and with their actions generally. The intercept generated by Second
Sight and by The Unmasking, coupled with Discern and Sport's Bike,
is generally enough to really hamper a Methuselah's plans. Add to that
Determine and Champion and you really start to piss other players off.
The trick is, though, to apply it all in such a fashion that you don't
end up turning the whole table against you - crucial when you're trying
to bring out a hefty ten event cards that restrict all other players on
the table, except of course yourself, and those few other Imbued players
out there. Once those event cards start hitting the table it is very hard
for Methuselah's to generate the same kind of staying power that an
Imbued deck can muster. Add to that some bleed, and some fight, and
the deck can pretty much wear down anything. It's not to say that the
deck doesn't have it's weaknesses, or that it can't be taken down, it
most certainly can, but they are weaknesses for other players to discover
and, in my favour, of course, is the fact that the Imbued still remain
relatively understudied by most.

Jarkko Suvela

-- 1GW7 + 3VP in final

Deckname: "Lone Biker and his Pup"
Concept: Bruise

Couple notes,
-Julius wants to prove himself to Wynn by defending the Pack and diablerizing
-Combat is based on enviromental damage, so allies and Memories of Mortality won't be too big of a problem (also helps with dodgy and maneuvering opponents)
-Shadow of the Beast was replaced with Hawg since equipping with Hawg provides +1 stealth and I don't need maneuvers in combat (Claws of the Dead can give maneuver in dire help)
-Pentex is for contest and ... well it's also a good card anyways

BloodBATH 2007: Fifth Tradition
Bath, England
July 14th 2007
17 players
Paul Reid-Bowen

Deck Name: The Alchemists (aka. the octarine killing machine)

This take on the Nephandi swarm bleed has evolved over a couple of
years (beginning in the pre-Antonio d'Erlette days with a Marino
Reymundo Vasquez, Giovanni, Nephandi and Shambling Hordes version)
and progressing to the very focused current version. It is quite
abusive against light and non-combat decks, pleasantly burning
Alexandra in the UKECQ with Molotovs, and typically with these type of
decks kills with weight of numbers. EtPK is an excellent oust
accelerator, particularly coupled with Computer Hacks, and the Life in
the City are essential for keeping vampires topped up due to the
attrition from deflects, Blood Dolls and EtPK. Clearly the deck has
problems with focused combat, stealth-bleed and stealth-politics, but
does very well in a neutral environment.

Constructively, I forgot to add two delaying tactics at the Bloodbath
2007 tournament (although two more DIs might be better) and this deck
is becoming an increasingly risky strategy when faced with high levels
of Entrancement and Far Mastery. Eight Molotovs is probably excessive
(six would be fine), an extra Deflect and On the Qui Vive would be
good replacements. Concealed Flash Grenades and the Life in the City
are pure gold. Some people prefer more Memories, but it hasn't proved
essential so far, particularly with the Flash Grenades; plus I seem to
keep forgetting to add a Vagabond Mystic.

Basically an effective and fun deck with fairly obvious weaknesses; it
is also strong against Imbued, having ousted them on three occasions
in the past, which can't be bad.

-- 4VP in final

Deck Name: Cybelotron

This deck was originally based on Erik Torstensson's Summon the Serpent
deck, which won a tournament in Gothenburg, Sweden in 2005. His deck
mixes in Settites, and includes Temptation and Form of Corruption. The
deck is a blast to play, but I felt the need to strip it down to its core:
Cybele, Great Beast, and Golconda. I took out the Serpentis actions,
replaced Vast Wealth with Magic of the Smith, added more stealth, dropped
some unneeded masters, dropped the Minion Taps down to 4, and increased
the Golcondas up to 4. I put the deck on the back burner for a while, as
I was working on intercept walls, but I saw that Johannes Walch happened
to make the finals of the 2007 Dutch Qualifier with a Cybele + Great
Beast, so, emboldened by Johannes' succes, I figured I'd get back to work
on my own version. Johannes' addition of Antediluvian Awakening was pure
genius, so I included it in my version.

The operation of the deck is as follows: you put a skill card on Cybele,
who then plays Magic of the Smith to get the Soul Gem of Etrius, untaps
via Truth of a Thousand Lies, then plays Call the Great Beast (OBF PRE
SER). Cybele explodes, bringing out a brand new Cybele. The Great Beast
bleeds, and the new Cybele bleeds with her special. On the next turn, you
Golconda your Great Beast and play a skill card on the new Cybele. Cybele
bleeds with her special, untaps via Truth of a Thousand Lies, then plays
Call the Great Beast, and the Great Beast and Cybele bleed again. When
you can (when you need to), you Minion Tap the Great Beast or play
Redeem the Lost soul to cash in one of your blown up Cybeles. You also
have some protection against Archon Investigation, as you're free to pump
up Cybele's bleeds due to the Soul Gem, If they play AI, then they've
paid 3 and given you a new vampire who can now bleed for 3 more.

I think Johannes is right to have 3 Soul Gems in his deck instead of the 2
that my version and Erik's version use. I nearly lost the finals due to
drawing both Soul Gems while sitting in between 2 intercept walls. I also
think that Johannes is right to have 5 Golconda and 3 Minion Tap instead
of the 4 and 4 that I use, since you'd rather get rid of the Great Beast
and make a new one instead of Minion Tapping it and leaving it around.
Antediluvian Awakening is an amazing card for this deck, as it gives you
the ability to blow up Cybele when you need to, such as when Cybele is
sitting in torpor, or if Pentex Subversion is played on her. Johannes'
version adds in some bleed cards -- Sense the Sin and True Love's Face --
as well as Ossian (he found the ability to rush to be helpful). My
version stays focussed on the combo, and is stealthier.

Deck Name: Angellore

This is yet another breed boon deck from me, inspired by a similar deck by
Wes Weston. You've got Bastille Opera House and Conductor to pass Con
Boons and KRCs. Note that Conductor is still effective while the vampire
is in torpor. Siren's Lure with Majesty and Soak to get actions to succeed
wound up being very effective. It's a pain in the neck that Siren's Lure
is rare, but it's an outstanding card that really does get the job done.
The Entrancements were money for me, and the DIs were lifesavers. It can
be a bit nerve-wracking playing without bounce, not to mention the looming
threat of Anarchist Uprising, but you're not spending a lot of pool on
minions, and you're gaining a lot from the Con Boons.

-- 4VP in final

Deck Name: Darby Dance of the Seven Veils

An adaptation of various Darby Dance decks, particularly John
Newquist's 12/17/06 Razorbat: Atlanta winner (at least, that was the
one that I saw a bunch of this tech in), modified to adapt to Boston's
heavy-intercept typical metagame - one-stealth actions just rarely cut
it, and 2 stealth sometimes isn't enough - by bolting in some OBF
vampires into the crypt for Cloaks, Veils, and some blood-doll bloat.
Also solves the problems of the classic Imbued vulnerability to
Smiling Jack, Reins of Power, Ancient Influence, etc., at the cost of
a little less reliability in the crypt, which bit me once badly in the
3rd round (all 4 vampires out of 5 crypt cards looked at).While I
can't claim credit for much of the deck-manipulating innovation, Luc
is just plain GOLD - the +3 hand-size action works great as an end-of-
the-turn action to set up your hand for next turn. I think I'm going
to switch out Jeffrey Mullins for a second Luc.

David Magri da Silva

Deck Name: Baratas'07 (In english: Roaches'07)

Description: Uses embraces to create a horde of weenies, gains tons of
pool with ConBoon + Foundation Exhibit and massive bleed with Palla
Grande. The deck doesn't use disciplines, so he can use many
discipline hoser Gehenna cards.

This is a very effective deck, which already won many other
tournaments in Brazil. In fact, David has gained the alias The Roach
King, for it. In this tournament, he ended the final table with more
than 40 pool and something around 16 minions, but I remember another
one where he ended with more than 120 pool and more than 20 minions. A
deck to be feared.

great flexibility without wasting ressources. Bleed under the Madness
Network to gain the edge at the end of your predator's minion phase,
then use Victoria's ability and Instability for an easy 5 pool bloat.

Deck Name: Back from Torpor

description: This deck won the "Hand Contract", 23 players, Paris,
May 26th 2007. Since Imbued aren't popular, might as well draw table
hate with Events and see what happens. Irresponsible deflecting on
grandpredator is nice too. The "hasty, untested tweaks in the morning"
were the Poison Pill/Vox Domini, Heart of Nizchetus, Forschritt
Library, Glancing Blow and were definitely useful. Don't leave home
without'em.

Matthew Morgan

Deck Name: Inspiring Innocents

Description: Get out a ton of Imbued and Strike with Conviction until
everyone is ousted. This deck is a real killer and surprisingly resilient
as well. I can't recall ever having been ousted while playing it,
although sometimes the table falls in unfortunate ways (see game 1 above).
Now that I've won a tournament with a basic Imbued deck like this, it's
only weird tricks and hybrid decks from here on out. I promise!

You might think I'd want more copies of Travis or Jennie here
but in some games, I really come close to emptying my crypt.
I've just found it useful to be able to get out as many as
11 Imbued.

I never really use Unity, but it seems like it should be here.
Brothers Grimm is very key. Nobody ever tries to take it. It's just
free pool! There are really a lot of masters here and I usually am
holding way more than I can expect to play. That's fine. Imbued decks
do not need to cycle cards the way vampire decks do thanks to the way
Convictions work. Transients really aren't needed. It is also
interesting to mention that I don't think I played a single Angel of
Berlin this tournament. There was once or twice I might have, but it
was more important to Sudden something earlier in the turn.

Totally useless. I don't think I've ever played Bond. If I were to
keep playing this deck, I'd drop these in an instant.

You really can't have too many Convictions. Considering how many
minions I tend to get out, this is a little light. But just having 8
or 9 minions usually makes you win anyway, so there's not any real need
to add more. I always go for React first since the worst thing someone
can do is steal my minion and use it against me.

I am notoriously lucky in drawing The Unmasking early. In fact, I
think I played it on the first or second turn (once thanks to
Fortschritt) in each round this tournament. Thirst is just there as an
enabler, but sometimes it helps to hurt other vampire decks. I'm not
that interested in playing a bunch of events that would hurt people
cross-table. This deck isn't intended to make any extra enemies until
the endgame.

The most important rule for Champion is to never use it. As soon as
you have Champion out, your predator makes it a top priority to get it
tapped or to burn/steal that minion. As long as that guy is just
sitting there untapped with his Champion, your predator will dispair.
Inspire is a very nice power because the individual effect is too small
to get that worked up over, but when used repeatedly by multiple
minions, it is devestating. Donate is very nice because people forget
about it. I think I've mostly just used it for extra bleed, but
could easily imagine wanting it for the other uses. I'm also a big fan
of Rejuvenate. It's really the only thing that makes Beatrice
playable. On the other hand, I've found very little use for Hide or
Project. Most of the time, I just don't want to spend the extra
convictions and gaining a little extra stealth or protection for one
minion doesn't really contribute to the swarming strategy.

I really haven't gotten much use out of these. I know some players
swear by them, but I don't like bouncing bleeds to the wrong place and
actions I have to stop are usually better handled by blocking or Direct
Intervention.

Deck Name: Tribute to Jay

Description: I used to think that !Ven sucked (how can
they oust with no stealth?!), but then I was inspired byJay Kristoff

here:

I've been playing a version of this deck since then. This
deck was also top seed going into the finals at the NAC
2006 Shadow Twin tournament. The Crocodile Tongues were
the MVP, getting by Carlton several times, and once by a
tooled up Joaquin Murietta with 1 blood. I intended to
include a Giant's Blood, but didn't find one before the
tournament. Govern at DOM + Freak Drive + Scouting at DOM = fun.

Deck Name: Guedado Where Are You?

Description: This is the deck I won the tournament with. The "correct"
version, (was missing the burn cards right before I left for the
tournament) is a 61 card deck, removing a Parthenon, adding Specialization
and Brothers Grimm, and turning all the burn cards into the same master card
burn card. I love the fact the Guadado is the "key" vampire, being both Tzimisce
and Laibon (and has obf). Ana Rita Montana and a Laibon will do in a pinch.
The Charisma/PB: Tshawane is great for allies, as well as reducing costs
for cards like Memories.

Deck Name: Salubri getting dirty
Created by: ResurrectioN

Notes on deck:
The main reason i've picked to play with this deck was that i was
pretty sure what every player is gonna play.
My predictions came true and of 10 participants only 3 didn't have for
or dom in their crypt (note that 5 players who didn't show up would
play dom or for).

The dack itself needs some tweaking and these are potential changes:
-Perefctionst/ +Secure Haven
-Renewed Vigor/ +Conditioning
-Kiss of Ra/ +Dawn Operation

I have never influenced Blanche and she will probably be replaced with
Samson and Lana Bucher.

Steve Holmer

Steve's Inner Circle Deck
Description: He used dirty dirty PTO to blow
up his initial prey's Persephone Tar-Annis before she got to take
an action in the finals, then slightly later, his grandprey's
Lady Zara Slatikov. Not bad for two actions and two blood.
Too bad he didn't get to use a really overpowered card like
Voter Captivation at the same time. :-)

Steve's comments: The key to making this stealth vote/bleed work is to
get two Inner Circle members in play. It is most vulnerable to rush
decks and decks where the prey has both lots of intercept and combat

Description: I've had several versions of this deck over the years
with Gangrel bloating plus Garous with Assault Rifles being the
consistent theme. Previous iterations used multiple large cap
Gangrel, but this time I went for a star + weenies deck and added
a couple of Alastor and PTO for that extra hardcore tournament goodness.

DECK NAME: "Call of Kooks"
I did indeed end up winning. Although I like to think of my deck as
less of a bleed deck and more of a toolboxy Minion factory, since I
use (4) Grooming the Protege and (15) The Call. My bleed package is
actually quite low with (3) Madman's Quill, (2) Confusion, and (4)
Eyes of Chaos. There is a decent amount of stealth, but not obscene
with (17) stealth cards (not including the Confusions and Random
Patterns in superior). The deck performed well all day, but there are
definately things I would tweak. I would remove a few (probably 3) of
The Call and add a few more bleed cards and/or votes.

Deck Name: Unacceptable Boon

Description: Yet another in my line of breed-boon decks. This one
was born from a conversation with Brian Moritz at the 2006 NAC, where
he mentioned using Unacceptable Appearance on your own !Nos. Legacy
of Pander is the clear use of this, so I adapted my breed-boon
template to !Nos-Pander. Greensleeves and Lukas (whose appearances on
their cards are already unacceptable) get UA, then make Creation Rites
babies. You eventually play Legacy of Pander for killer vote lock,
and call Consanguineous Boons and KRCs. I didn't notice until after
the fact that Lukas has inferior Serpentis, so throw in a couple
Temptations or a Form of Corruption for added fun. Thanks to Matt
Hirsch for running the event, and thanks to Grant, Ximon, and the
staff of TempleCon for having us!

Deck Name: We are the world

Description: This deck is a wake up call to the world to how powerful
the Guhuri are (hence the deck name) - people in our playgroup hardly
play this clan. The deck is very simple, it ignores the bad mix of
disciplines (I do not think Potence mixes well with the dominant
Laibon clan) and tries to correct the clan's weakness: the absence of
stealth (which is easily corrected with the addition of abombwe trifle
discipline). Uses all the best Laibon and Guhuri cards, cycles super
fast and bloats well.

The main advantage of this deck is the fact that it is not a clan with
a bad rep so you get away with powerful bleeds and votes without too
much retaliation. Could use a bit of permaintercept (like a shaman)
and more permanent titles. The crypt could do with less doubling of
certain vampires - you'll get 4 vampires out per game.

Basically forget Potence and discover abombwe... You'll fall in love
with this clan !

Deck Name: Imperial March

This is a kinda Power Tools deck. It's toolboxy with a bunch of power
cards with a focus on Celerity and Fortitude - combination with which
I am overly fond and have done to death at this point. It's got enough
combat to Dominate non-fighty decks and hold its own against very
fighty decks. It's a serious vote Presence at the table, lots of
intercept, and some "big" actions to try and throw down. And some
Imbued for pool mop-up and other duties as assigned.

Andrea Ravera

Deck Name: [Lasombra] Turbo Lucita

Description: Put the soul gem on Lucita ASAP, she's a 8 cap, untap
with Freak Drive (costs 1 blood). Employ Camarilla Vitae Slave (costs
2 blood, now Lucita is a 9 cap), untap with Freak Drive (costs 1 blood).
Perform Embrace (costs 2 blood). With 2 blood left on her, and tapped,
Lucita perfomrs Force of Will (cost 1 blood), and plays Conditioning
(cost 1 blood). Now Lucita has zero blood, and takes 2 aggravated damage,
which burn her, triggering Soul Gem. A new copy of Lucita enters play,
and inherits the gem. She is a pretty new and different vamp from the
one that has burned before, so she can bleed again, recruit another slave, etc...

Combo-breed-bleed.

Deadly, and hard to play.

Deck Name: Bitch Fight 3: the Return of the Bitch

Description:
This is the same deck that I made and played to victory in the
Nergal Bath 2005 storyline event, also this was played by Hugh
at the NAC and he took it to victory (changing a fame for a
Raven Spy) and then the UK nats.. So 3 tournies and 3 wins for
what is a pretty innocuous deck.. Probably one of the reasons it
does pretty well:)

Deck Name: Blast from the Past

EuroBrujah deck with a little spicy Beast. Not a strong actual
archetype but if well played you can manage TW and crawl your way to
the top. By the way Pentex rocks. This card gave me the vp needed to
make the final and win the tournament.

Deck Name: Ayo Stuffs the Ballot Box

Description: Gain massive vote dominance with Ayo's special. Vote at 5
stealth or more. Gain pool. Kill.

Good crypt draws all day. I think all my minions saw play at one point
or another. The cel/for is only for Forced March, so I don't need all
my minions to have that. The ones without obf can just sit around
giving me votes if I have intercept to contend with. Although Ubende
is really good in this deck, I only want one copy because I don't want
to have to double anyone other than Ayo.

Stole a Reanimated Corpse in round 1 and a Procurer in round 2. I
would've liked to have another and maybe some more bleed, but couldn't
find room.

The intention here is to get past casual intercept and occasionally
break a wall. I was imagining a Strange Day Banishment on Howler or
something like that, but I never actually had to deal with much
intercept. I lowballed the vote push because of the strength of
titles. Since Ayo has inferior Obfuscate, I play one of each obf
card, plus the Uncontrolled Impulses, Forgotten Labyrinths and Forced
Marches. That could add up to a lot of stealth.

I didn't get the Kholos all that often, but they aren't that important.
Scalpel Tongue is a great card. I didn't have to use it defensively,
but it's still nice to have. I originally had Telepathic Vote
Counting, but I think Scalpel Tongue is a stronger card here.

No room for strong combat defense. These were mostly in case I get
blocked, not if I got rushed.

Most of these cards were important at one point or another. I sort of
wanted to put in an Obfuscate skill card for Ayo, but couldn't think of
what to take out. I never played the Pentex. That was put in for
wall-busting only. I don't imagine this deck could defend it well.

Heavy payload here. Could probably drop one each of Eldest Command
Undeath and Secret Must be Kept. I haven't gotten a lot of use out of
those. Banishment was very important to my 2nd round victory.

Just enough bounce/intercept to keep my predator guessing.

Go ahead and block this!

This deck was inspired by a deck by Robert Scythe that I had seen on
the Vtes in L.A Website. I wondered if it was as strong as it seemed,
I tweaked it a bit and never played it, I was planning to play it in
casual play... I entered last minute in this tourney and decided to
try it... It obviously needs more tweeking but I had a blast playing
it!

Deck Name: Akunanse bleed and block v2

Description: Bleed forward and block backward. No Secrets From the
Magaji and Guardian Angel (or a gun of some sort) will stop many decks
dead in their tracks. This deck has an answer to most strategies and
bleeds very well besides. Its main weakness is if other decks can
block it tooling up. This was evidenced in this year's NERQ when all
my bleed permanents were blocked so even after I ran my prey out of
s:ce, I couldn't do much other than bleed for 1.

I think this deck is one of the best I've ever made. That is evidenced
by its performance in two tournaments against some of the top players
in the US (if not the world). Anyone who feels that Legacies of Blood
isn't a strong set, should try something like this. This version may
not be ideal for every metagame as it is built to withstand some serious
combat if necessary and it could have more stealth if that would be
helpful. Also, in an extremely stealthy environment, more permanent
intercept may be necessary. Delaying Tactics could certainly go in
here if you aren't confident of catching every vote. Some of the
Predator's Communion could be Forced Awakening, which would be crucial
verses a Giovanni powerbleed running The Sleeping Mind. The main idea
here is to have a wallish deck that can bleed forward well. I think
a deck with No Secrets From the Magaji is perfectly suited to such
a concept because I only block forward when it's necessary or
advantageous. I don't need to block my prey to kill him. First of all,
this lets my prey play his game and weaken his prey before I get him
(in a perfect world) and secondly this makes it less likely for me to
lose my No Secrets before my predator's turn, which could be fairly
disastrous.

This is a deck that I have been working on for a few years now...
I've played many version of it but I like this one... It obviously
revolves around Arika and Marcus, the Freak Drives make-up for the
size of the vamps and don't be shy to use the Governs for bloat or
to bring-up the support cast.

Deck Name: Hmm... Yeah I'll Block That (a.k.a. Ol' Big Eye)

I figured to see the Imbued at Origins, and of course being a qualifier,
figured to see a quite a lot of Stealth/Bleed and Stealth/Vote. This deck
gives me a ton of flexibility on which actions happen at the table. I was
able to negotiate some short-term deals by simply *not* Eagle's Sight
blocking a few times. I die horribly to combat, particularly the Animalism
variety - which two decks in the finals were running. My only hope was for
them to wreck each other, which eventually did happen.

Deck Name: Howler and Friends

Description: This is a fairly toolboxy wall deck, getting out assorted
allies and retainers, with Howler minding the fort. A few years ago,
Andreas Nusser clued me in to the power of Form of Corruption for keeping
your prey in check if you're a slowly developing deck, and it works to great
effect here, and the Neighborhood Watch Commanders can really take their toll.
Over the course of the tournament at Origins, I managed to steal Arika twice!

Deck Name: 2006_06_25_all_powerful

Here's the list as played - it was intended to be a 90-card deck
but one of the React with Convictions apparently fell out before
I started the tournament, so I played it at 89 cards that day.

This deck was inspired substantially by Matt Morgan's Defender-based
Imbued deck, with lots of blocking and, of course, Rejuvenate. This
version, though, came from the idea of putting in at least some of all
the cool-looking Powers to see which ones were really worth playing
with; those took the place of some other things that might have been
useful, like Sport Bikes...

Deck Name: Lasombra Creation Boon

Description: This deck was directly inspired by Jeff "The Lasombra"
Thompson's Lasombra decks that took advantage of breed, Power Structure, and Consanguineous Boon:

http://www.vekn.fr/decks/The_Lasombra_Embraces_the_Austrian_Nationals.htm

I built my own version quite some time ago, but while it did very well in casual games,
it never quite got it going in a tournament. After my tournament wins with a Ventrue
version (Buckets o' Money) and an Assamite version (Team Amaravati) of the same concept,
I came to the conclusion that I needed to get rid of the Obtenebration in the deck and
exclusively use Obfuscate for stealth, since Obfuscate stealth is free. Angelica,
Gratiano, and Guido have Obfuscate, making this a solid plan. The deck worked like
a charm, getting 4GW.

Deck Name: Troll Bridge Quiz

Description: Toreador Bleed deck.
My prey was an Inner Circle Deck in the final, played by Simeon Nagel.
So, I had a lot of good discards in the Croc's Tongues. The
Antediluvian Awakening played by James "Grimm" Nault and his 2 cap
weenie Sabbat with 46 Ascendance deck helped to keep the game to a
tidy hour of play. Jon Sushenski, a very welcome addition to Atlanta
these days, was playing an Intercepting Malk Croc tongue deck that was
having the same trouble with me that I was having with my Inner Circle
prey and figured it was best to back bleed and oust his weenie sabbat
pred, Grimm. Mike Perlman got James' VP with his
temptation-bleed-you-dead-Setites. Simeon got Mikes' VP a short time
later and I was able to clean up getting Sim and Jon. Lucky day.

Description: The package seemed to be perfect for the day.
Quincy came in very handy in the final rouns because of the Imbued.
In retrospect I would leave the library as is. I would tighten the
crypt with two Tupdogs though taking out Banjoko and one Roderick

Deck Name: Team Amaravati

Description: Looking at Amaravati, I was inspired by Lasombra Jeff's
Lasombra Creation Boon deck. Amaravati plays Governs to get out more
guys. Guys get out Web of Knives Recruits. Weenie bleeding and
Govern bleeding commence, backed up with KRCs via massive vote push
from Amaravati's special. Con Boons for either defense or more guys.
35 stealth might seem like a lot (ok, it's a lot), but currently
there's a lot of permanent intercept out there chewing up the stealth
of vamps with inferior Obfuscate. Alamut isn't critical due to
Amaravati's special, but it's a plus when you get it (same for Ventrue
Headquarters). This is also a good deck for a player on a budget, as
the only expensive card in there is Direct Intervention (and one could
replace it with a Yoruba Shrine or something).

Deck Name: "Xaviar's Meat Packing and Storage"

Concept: Xaviar multirush with Pander support

Deck could really use more Dog Packs and maybe 1 or 2 Shadow of the
Beast. After the tournament I realised that it had just enough cards so
that my library wouldn't exhaust itself in the end-game, so cutting the
library down wouldn't be such a good idea unless deck would be altered
to be more permanent-oriented (having more permanent intecept and
perhaps Metro Underground or the like)

Deck Name: Akunanse Safari Kingdom

A fairly defensive deck using Pack Alpha to tool up a Magaji with many
retainers, maybe tack on a Guardian Angel or Ivory Bow, and then put on
the No Secrets. The deck doesn't bleed very strongly, but it can win a
war of attrition (or make a quick finish with Anarchist Uprising).

Deck Name: Foul Play
Created by: Alex Ek, inspired by a Nosferatu deck made by Jay Kristoff

Description: Weenie malk voter. Use malk justicar and cryptic rider
to vote in a vote heavy environment. Adding Victoria and Greger Andersen
to make a 14 vamp crypt might be a good choice. Adding some extra stealth
and maybe a Malkavian rider clause might be good.

Deck Name: Godzilla

This deck is a mass bruise bleed deck. The secret is to threaten
your predator (even torporise a few of his minions) and keep him
out of your way right from the beginning (with you first hatchling):
you have enough ousting power. After that he'll leave you alone.
That's what the haven uncovered and bum's rush are for.

This deck attracts a lot of attention so don't get greedy. Split
table VPs as soon as you can otherwise the table will team against
you. Divide to better reign !

The core of this deck is the 42 combat cards. Do not go under !
As for the hatchlings, 14 is a good number... Especially with the added
thin-blooded seers. 13 masters and 5 trifles is a lot. . Fame and
Anarch troublemaker were very useful. Could remove some stealth and
add more rockhearts.

Ps: took the risks of being voted out by cards like anarchist uprising
but preferred the tributes instead of the DI s.

Deck Name: This is not a Hatchling deck

Description: It's basically a swarm deck that can fight. I even found
myself playing it like a swarm, i.e. Mustafa bleeds, gets blocked, I don't
bother to slave in, but bleed with a Gargoyle instead.

Crypt was just fine. I got Ublo-Satha in every round except the
final. I always had a decent mix of Tremere and Gargoyles in my
uncontrolled region.

Aranthebes would've saved me in round 3, but he declined to make an
appearance. Could've made even had more Create Gargoyles. Alas
for the Hatchlings. Defender of the Haven is strong. I got it
into play in rounds 1 and 3.

Probably should've been more but this was meant to be an
exploratory effort.

Raking Talons and Rockheart are both super good. Check out the
outferior of Rockheart. It totally saved me from Shambling Hordes
in round 2 and got me that vital .5VP I needed to make the final.
I didn't really feel like the Grapples were that necessary. The
could probably be cut for more of the other stuff. I mean, it's a
swarm deck that might agg you if you block. It's not like I need
to make every combat count. Roll is a great card and was also
good for frustrating Shambling Hordes. I originally had Tastes,
but cut them due to poor synergy with agg pokes. I should've had
Stone Quills in here. It's the only real answer to Sniper Rifle.

Never saw the hunting ground. I figured Arcane Library would be
killer, but I only drew it in the final and had no Tremere in my
uncontrolled region. Chantry was played but not used as there
were no rush decks to target my Tremere. The Potence master and
Havens Uncovered weren't useful. Six Blood Dolls was my way of
insuring the deck wouldn't be completely pathetic.

I wanted to try out Scry the Hearthstone. It's limitation to (D)
actions (similar limitation to Defender of the Haven) makes it
kind of bad because vote decks and other such things can act with
impunity. I mostly discarded them and probably would've rather
had Patrol. Delaying Tactics were really big for me in the final
and I was lucky to draw them both in my first 20 cards. I played
the first one to Delay Josh's Free States Rant which was to be 4
points on my guys. When he called the vote again the next turn,
he needed to put some of the points backward on Ethan. My other
use was mentioned above.

The Razor Bats were good when I got them. I probably should've had
four of them. The Stone Dog was always discarded. I was thinking
that permanent rush would be useful, but I just never wanted to
pay 3 pool for the privilege.

Slippery When Wet

This deck is an old friend of mine. It has been
heavily modified over the years, with the most recent
modification being the addition of Dominate to the
deck. The Gangrel were the first clan that I really
got to work in casual play, many years ago. I tried it
a few times in tournaments but it lacked the speed
necessary to win a table. After the addition of
Dominate for some added pressure it has been much more
effective, with several strong showings. While a good
position and some luck was key in winning the day,
this deck showed itself to be a strong competitor.

Deck Name: It's the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fine.

Description: A very fun and challenging deck to play. Expect to have
the whole table turn against you once you've dropped down a couple
Gehenna cards. Wins by painfully slow attrition. In the mid-game,
you should have gotten rid of all your vampires (eat them with Gregory,
or diablerize them yourself), so the nastiest events won't affect you.
Then you can play Dragonbound for the oust (initial bleeds by your
weenies, and then later Mylan and Gregory will help as well).

Deck Name: Amazing Belly Necklace

Straightforward Ventrue Law Firm. 16 Majesty instead of Freak Drive
and Fortitude Prevent Damage cards for better cardflow and better
combat defense against CEL (Idea shamelessly stolen from Josh Duffin).
Last minute changes were the addition of Carlton Van Wyk (killer!) and
D.I (saved my ass once more). Never underestimate the value of
Powerbase: Rome. esp. with Anson where you can add 2 counters per turn.

Mark Loughman

Sheldon 3.0 Newark Redux

Mark's comments:
The same basic combat monster I've been running with a few new twists.
Archon and Alastor votes for permanent rush worked well, same with the
weapons, either with the Alastor or without. Nightmare upon nightmare
was put in as a 'screw' vs breeder decks but was never an issue and
may be replaced. The lone telepathic misdirection is for that third
point of unexpected intercept of that surprise bounce of a big bleed,
but is rarely of much use and could probably become another rush or
Second. The standing votes the crypt provides, and Nikolaus's special
to get them out quicker and cheaper are two of the most important
elements of the deck. If nothing else, the combat module allows one
to make one's presence felt at a table.

Deck Name: Pesadilla Vudú (Woodoo Nightmare)

Description: Bring out Shambling Hordes, play Temptations on vampires
controlled by another Methuselah, and keep alive until you have a
decent setup. This deck is very weak if your predator is very aggressive from
the beginning of the game. If you successfully set up, then you get an interesting
control of the table. The Khobar Towers allow you to gain 3 pool when your
Shambling Hordes have 1 life left. It is also interesting to use the Towers
when you also have the Heidelberg Castle in play and you put a vampire in play,
since it allows you to move all his blood to another vampire you control and
remove him from the game afterward for pool gain.

Deck Description: The idea of the deck is to use the Escaped Mental
Patients with Flash Grenades for tapping, Revelations and Change of
Targets to get rid of Wakes and permanent bleed enhancers with some
Dementation support for ousting. The EMPs are also great at slowing
down too aggressive predators (or any players, for that matter) and
defending against rushes and such.

Peter Charnley

The North American Championship was won by Peter Charnley of
Ann Arbor, Michigan with his Arika and Friends deck that got
him to the finals last year as well. The Final was very
exciting to watch and went all the way to the time limit.

"The deck is designed to run in spurts. Whether off the bat or later
in the game some turns will be spent doing nothing, waiting for the
opportunity to cycle reactions and combat cards, other turns will
consist of vote, Freak, bleed, Freak, etc. One advantage of the deck
that some people have keyed on is the lack of permanents to make the
deck appear frightening. With three vampires out, most people are only
afraid of Arika, and then only because of her text, PTO ability and +2
bleed. Very rarely do people worry about the cloaks, or the extra
actions with Freak Drives and Majesty. I've been playing and tweaking
this deck since I started seriously playing Vampire, almost 3 years
now, so this deck is as good as it gets. Modifications consist only of
2-4 card swap outs based on metagame, more or less combat, stealth,
vote bump cards depending. I went with 12 combat and 8 stealth instead
of a previous 10 and 6 because of KMW's combat, and the number of times
intercept has kicked my butt. The 8 stealth card setup is probably going
to stay, but in a less combat-heavy environment, 1 Majesty and 1 rolling
would get swapped for other cards. Oh also, I like the lack of wakes.
People often times will behave as though I have a wake in my hands for
Deflections when I don't. Thanks to all those 'responsible' bleeders
out there:)" - Peter Charnley

Deck Name: Your Block Fails

Notes:
Crocodile's Tongue prevents a player from blocking, not just a minion, so the
trick is to ensure that your Prey is forced to attempt a block with a minion
with only one blood. There are 3 other Block Fails/Can't Block cards in the
deck to make this easy. Use Aristotle's Permanent Stealth to commit them to one
blocker and run them dry of blood. Use Leandro's Permanent Bleed to bleed them
out.

True Love and Loyalty

Just an attempt to do block denial while avoiding Necrobleed.
Originally used Kahina and Khaytall with added Pulse and Seduction but
found it too slow off the mark. As with all block denial speed helps
enormously as most damage is done early. Possible advantages over
standard Necrobleed include tapping with Faceless Night and a chance
to cancel bounce with Approximation. True Love's Face followed by
Elder Impersonation is always fun !

Ventrue Power!

This deck is geared around Arika and Marcus Vitel. It is quite slow to
start but once it gets going it is hard to stop. Since Dramatic
Upheaval and Kindred Restructure were made illegal in tournaments the
deck has weakened but it is still quite powerful. It is quite
vulnerable to combat decks and those who start quickly such as B/S and
weenie decks. The Freak Drives make-up for the size of the vamps by
allowing for many actions per turn.This deck deals quite well with
intercept decks.

Deck Name: Henry Twister

BEN'S DECK NOTES:
Around the time I was contemplating the EconoGhoul deck, I got into a
conversation on the #vtes irc channel (irc.sorcery.net) with David
Cherryholmes and others about Henry Taylor, and how obnoxious it can
be to put a Protean skill card on him and playing Earth Meld to protect
a Smiling Jack. This seemed like a great application of the Pochtli
Twister tech, so I decided to build the deck. I used Dirty Contracts
instead of Tracker's Marks, and included a Brothers Grimm, as the Dirty
Contracts could be used to protect the Brothers Grimm. Ruins of Villers
Abbey, Belgium and Quick Meld are in there for combat defense, as they're
extremely card-efficient sources of maneuvers (and the maneuvers from the
Ruins can be paid for with The Rack). Millicent Smith is there to slow
the rate of table progression down, while speeding up the rate of turns,
helping to buy clock time for the Smiling Jack to work. I don't recommend
using such a deck in a casual game. As much as there are assorted ways of
defeating this deck (Pentex Subersion, Immortal Grapple, Kiss of Ra, etc.),
if the table doesn't have a way of getting past Henry, you'll be wasting
2 hours of their time as they get to sit there and do nothing. That's fine
for a tournament, but not fine for a friendly game. Props again to Keith
Page, a former Boston player who built the original Pochtli Twister deck,
of which my Pochtli Twister deck is its namesake, and Henry Twister is
similarly named in its honor.

Deck Name: EconoGhoul

BEN'S DECK NOTES:
I'd been thinking about building a War Ghoul deck for a while, but
acquiring the 10 of them that one needs for the usual 60-card version
looked to be a pain in the neck. So, I thought about applying the
tech developed with the Pochtli Twister deck, building a version that
was 30 or so cards, with half the War Ghouls, and padding out the deck
with burn option cards. This would save me from having to get more
War Ghouls, and I figured that it'd be extremely rare that an ally
rush decks would bring out 6 or more such allies anyway. When Mata
Hari was printed, I decided to build the deck, as she could take easy
advantage of Waste Management Operation and I liked the superior
Obfuscate. Josh Feuerstein then clued me into the fact that the
burn option cards could be D'habi Revenants, as they can be discarded
via burn option, and Mata Hari could employ them for use in creating
War Ghouls (though not for the bleed bonus). I ran with the idea
and included a variety of other burn option cards, such as Riddle
Phantastique and Chanjelin Ward. The deck proved to be highly
effective, the only worry being that Mata Hari might get immediately
rushed via Red List when she comes out, before a Secure Haven or
Chanjelin Ward could be put on her. As such I recommend dropping
a couple Obfuscate stealth cards and including a couple copies of
Mirror Image. Another discovery was how solid it was to bring back
Jake Washington via the Waste Management Operation, as it allows
you to stop one rushing minion cold every turn. Props to Josh
Feuerstein for the D'habi Revenant idea, and to Ruben Vidana Ramos
and Stephane Lavrut whose War Ghoul decks I used as references
(and to Lasombra Jeff for the TWD Archive!).

Deck Name: Now For the Main Event - Zombies!!!

Description: Overwhelm the table with your need for tasty brains.

Pretty obvious choices here. Le Dinh Tho was a last-minute
substitution for a 3rd Isabel. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have won
without him.

Yet again I make my deck too big. This should've been in the 70-80 card range.
I never came close to running out of cards and there were certainly
some key cards I wanted to draw.

Pretty standard "don't block me" package. Could've been more cards,
but since the action starts at 1 stealth (2 with Andrea), this was
sufficient. I used the Spectral Divinations for intercept more than
once.

These events worked out very well. I was lucky in drawing them early
every round. Dragonbound helped me gain almost every VP all day. Six
cards in hand is plenty for a Horde deck since I don't rely on any
combat combos. Unmasking was discarded in round 3, but was critical in
round 2 and the final. FBI Special Affairs Division is just huge. It
makes a Horde with 1 life very useful indeed. I actually didn't Rack
up very many counters on it. It mostly served as a deterrant.

I had meant to replace 3 Deflections with Redirections to save blood,
but I forgot. Don't know if that would've made a difference. The
bounce was crucial in round 2 and the final but useless in rounds 1 and
3. Only played Poison Pill once and it didn't change the outcome of
the referendum. I keep trying with this card, but I've yet to have any
positive outcome. The only nice thing is the Hordes can play it.

2x Acquired Ventrue Assets -- Great card for this deck.
1x Barrens, The -- Got it early in almost every round.
2x Blood Doll -- I'm something of a Blood Doll addict, so it was kind of scary playing with only two of them. Worked out well, though.
1x Charisma
1x Creepshow Casino -- Never really needed it, but I didn't face heavy intercept.
1x Dreams of the Sphinx -- Gave me a turn 2 Andrea twice.
2x Fame -- Can't live without it.
1x Giant's Blood -- Played it right before Oscar was going to play his in the finals.
1x Jake Washington -- Great with Unmasking + FBI or just eat him for the blood.
1x KRCG News Radio -- Never needed it.
1x Morgue Hunting Ground
1x Path of Bone, The -- This was nice, but not crucial.
1x Perfectionist
1x Specialization -- I was surprised, but I hardly got any use out of this at all. I figured in a deck with 18 of the same card, this would be a killer. It ended up being practically useless.

Action (8)
1x Far Mastery -- Stole a Procurer in the 3rd round.
7x Govern the Unaligned -- Used both ways. This ended up being a good number.

Matthew Morgan

Deck Name: Maureen and Heralds

Description: Use Maureen to get Heralds of Topheth at reduced cost.
Rush, bleed and deflect to victory. I would not have won, but it seems
everyone else decided to also go for "fun" decks over "good" decks.

This deck is a little at odds with my play style in that I normally
like to give my prey enough rope to hang himself with. When I get a
couple Heralds out, I really can't afford to sit around waiting for the
game to develop to my liking, but I still tend to try to play that way
anyway. I think I got lucky in that my predators in the first two
rounds and the final simply weren't able to do a lot to me.

Six copies of Maureen and I didn't draw her in my opening crypt in
the finals! I played six copies because I only expected to get out two
vampires due to the high cost of maintaining Heralds. Never got out
Assad or Black Lotus, but Catherine, Robin and Cristos did an admirable
job bouncing bleeds and bleeding.

I normally build 90 card decks just because I like to play a lot of
cards. This one probably could've gone down to 70 without any
problems. I never came close to decking myself at 78 cards. Obviously,
I didn't build this one at 90 because I wanted to draw the Heralds reliably.

I went for Legals over Conditionings because the Heralds can play
them. I don't think I ever had them play these as they were too busy
rushing. Contagion was key in round 1 for weakening the table to the
point where I could win with limited bleed power.

No superior obf in the crypt so I got blocked a few times.
Fortunately, I didn't face any heavy intercept except in round 2 when
my predator had Jaroslav with a Sport Bike and two intercept locations.
Lucky for me he couldn't draw enough Wakes to stop me from getting out
Heralds and also defend against his predator.

Didn't get much use out of Carlton or the Mystic, but they're good
in theory. The Heralds were great, even against the heavy combat other
decks were playing. The fact that they regenerate and can always hit
for 3 (plus play Conflagration!) meant I could wear down the opposition.
When one died, I'd just have Maureen get another. It's not the initial
cost that is prohibitive, it's the infernal tax.

Grapples were only important in round 1 when I preyed on a Majesty
deck. Otherwise, all the decks I faced were pretty dedicated to
dealing out pain rather than avoiding it. The Conflagrations were very
good, especially since Maureen can play them too. I might've added Disarms,
but didn't really need them. Hitting for 3 or 5 per combat is usually
sufficient.

Saved me in round 1 when my prey called an Ancilla Empowerment. If
I hadn't won that game, I wouldn't have had my choice of seat in the
finals. I had considered adding Dragonbound, but decided against it
because of how defenseless my vampires are in this deck. After the way
Josh's Dragonbound worked for me in the finals, I might reconsider
that.

I had luck with Giant's Blood, getting mine first most of the time.
Jake helped a lot as a free blocker (with Unmasking!). I don't think I ever
ate him. Fames gave me the table in round 2. Ruins was played
once, but I didn't get any use out of it. Mob Connections goes well
with Heralds, but I put a little too much effort into defending it in
round 3 and lost a Heralds to Lazverinus' mighty strike.

I was expecting heavy stealth bleed, so I jammed 10 Deflections into a 78
card deck. Instead I found heavy combat and so these weren't actually that
much use. Still, at the rate this deck hemmorages pool, bouncing bleeds of
1 is even worthwhile.

Deck Name: Tragic, fast and beautiful (2005)
Description:
A variation of the Cel-Gun theme: Relatively strong forward power and combining gun combat with Majesty untap. So the signature move was to shoot, use Majesty as an additional strike in order to untap, ideally taste, then Psyche! to finish the victim off. Good times.

John Alston-Campbell

Deck Name: Bleed Like Me, Responsibly

Not quite weenie OBF AUS DEM. Concept was to bleed for 2 or 3 each turn and
avoid stealth jam but still have enough of it if need be; thus most of the
stealth served a dual purpose. Reality was never enough DEM in the opening
crypt and rarely enough AUS for the counters to work effectively. By the time
I got to the finals I knew that I had to go digging for the AUS or I was toast
against my Malk! predator. I had to cycle like a bastard to oust Claudio to win
and learned that Misdirection is worth its weight in gold (hang on, a single
library card doesnt weigh very much), ok more. Midget was my vampire of choice
on the day as my prey in both the third game and the finals was packing raven spies.
Nor did I regret packing 16 Telepathic Counters as they are eminently cyclable
and manage to consistently frustrate, with only one card, my predator.
My sympathies to Salem who because of his irresponsible bleeding ultimately
gave me the game win in game 3 due to a pass the parcel bleed for 5 at 3 stealth!
Cheers Telepathic Misdirection.

Michel-Étienne Fortin

Deck Name: Mage Power

Description: Weenie ally swarm using one of the most versatile ally in
the game. Put out a couple vamps, recruit like crazy and start the
onslaught. Once the recruiting is done, the vamps are here mostly to
hunt and bloat with the Blood Dolls or bounce bleeds and block
unharmful vampires. The rest is all done by the nephandi and Ossian
(who can be a real beast with Memories + Trap). Since you only have to
spend about 8-10 pools for vamps, you can afford to recruit about 4 or
5 allies and still have a decent pool cushion. The deck fears
intercept and the Creepshow is often not enough, but you can bait them
out if you have multiple Nephandus in your hand and try to slip one
by. Heavy combat is bad as well, which the Québec metagame is full of,
but the Memories help a lot here, hence the high number of
them in the deck; just remember that Carrion Crows are your worst
enemy (about 1 deck out of 3 played those during the tournament, so
I'm surprised I managed to do that well).

The idea is to appear non-threatening, shut down power-setup decks
early, have staying power, and slowly build for the swarm bleed.
The non-threatening part is fairly easy to see; the deck has no
power combos nor dangerous-looking vampires whatsoever, and all of
the anarch revolts have been phased out.

The absence of oft-repeating cards becomes apparent to seasoned
opponents fairly quickly, allowing for surprise while at the same
time appearing non-relentless and thus not scary. Shutting down
cheesy power-setups is something in which I take great delight,
especially in tournaments, and nothing is better for that than
to bring out a first-turn vamp with intercept and combat capability.
This aspect of the deck was particularly useful in this tournament,
allowing me to stop Adam from getting his allies out (in a deck that's
frightfully powerful when it gets going) and keeping me from getting
rolled over by a Presence-weenie bleed deck, which, I've heard, had
dealt 14 pool damage in a previous round before its prey ever got
out a vamp.

As for staying power, most of the vampires are small enough that the
deck's pool gain can almost keep pace with the cost of its minions
past the first few -- plus, it's an intercept deck, with blockers to
spare. What gives the deck its teeth (other than swarm potential) is
that in combat, the Auspex weenies almost always deal a little more
damage than is expected. Weighted walking sticks, lucky blows and pulled
fangs may seem newbie-ish, but how often do you anticipate Franciscus
to deal four damage in a single round? That surprise factor is what
motivated this version of the deck, along with a cost-benefit theory:
if your vampires are dealing out more damage than their capacity,
you're probably winning.

Deck Name: Corine has a changeling tongue

Simple toolbox tzimisce, clearly oriented toward bleed thanks to
Fiendish Tongue (marvellous card for the clan) and changeling.
The bleed potential of the deck is often under-estimated and the
fear of the War Ghoul (that will never appear:-)) can be exploited.
The femur is ideal for Corin, which is the star of the deck (it can
run without her but its +1 strength is really valuable).
For the rest, intercept and Rötshreck cleverly.
[Private note]: in the final, Horatio proved again that he's really
a incredible vampire as its revenant and its Ivory Bow used to be
the terror for my prey. Feel the power of Horatio!!

Deck Name: Calling Demented Voters

Description: Combat defense? Who needs combat defense? Vote push?
That's for wimps. Stealth? That's for people who want successful
actions. I built this one in the hopes that the amount of stealth
could handle even heavy intercept decks (Forgotten/Elder being the main way
to do so). I was also obviously hoping not to be rushed. I got really
lucky in that regard as I never sat next to a rush deck, but many times I had
a predator who couldn't go forward due to a lack of minions. In fact,
in both the first round and the final I rescued my predator from torpor
several times to keep the ol' meatshield alive (I'm lucky nobody ever
decided to cut the middle man and rush me directly).

Looking at the deck, one might wonder how this or that card worked out.
Most of the time, I couldn't tell you. I've recently developed this
extremely minimalist playing style where I'll play like 20 cards all
game. The deck is 90 cards by force of habit, but I never even came close to
playing that many. I guess it worked out okay this time, but it
would've been nice to see the Jake, Gambit Accepted, Momentum's Edge, etc.
Never got a chance to play any of those.

This tournament was two preliminary rounds and a final. I got 4VP at
the first table as I couldn't prop my predator up long enough to get the
sweep. Then I swept my second table to get top seed on the finals. I
made the obvious choice to sit away from the combat decks at the table.
I spent much of the game trying to keep my predator alive so I wouldn't
get rushed by Euro-Brujah. Then I drew the 3 KRCs I needed to oust my prey
just after the Euro-Brujah ran out of steam and died. My new prey, a
!Nos rush deck, very nearly got his second VP for the win, but I was saved
by the two hour time limit.

Deck Name: Bugs Bunny

The trick of this deck is the Bugs Bunny maneuver; do you remember when
Bugs go through the earth to kick the ass of Sam or Daffy duck? This
deck does the same; bleed, bleed, and more bleed, and if someone tries
to stop you or comes to hit you; you'll have the Protean to protect
yourself. Use "Flesh of Marble" to defeat Immortal Grapple, or the
simple and excellent Bugs's maneuver: dig and use "Earth Meld".

Notes:
I have no idea why I did not have Erciyes Fragments, but I will
definately put them in for future use. I also think Matthias could
benefit from a Rack. The deck is a little tricky, since Matthias runs
out of blood too quickly which makes your minion taps on your other
minions harder to do more effectively,

Deck Name: Brujahlicous

Description: This deck won the February monthly tournament in
Gothenburg. The point of the deck is to dish out more damage then you
take, even if you take a lot of damage yourself, which you do.
However, enough Blood Dolls and the Hungry Coyote as well as perhaps a
stolen weapon and these guys are up there with the best.

Basic strategy is to use Enchant Kindred at superior and get the Blood
Dolls out to make your pool grow. Get out at least three vampires and
then you're good to go.

This deck should probably lose two vampires in favour of one more Theo
Bell and his Advanced copy.

Deck Name: Dangerously Cheesy

Description: Weenies seize Praxis and call damaging votes. Hilarity ensues.

The deck could be 60 cards, but I was worried about Nightmare Upon
Nightmares, so padded it.

In blessed perfection, you seize praxis with as many minions as possible
on turn 2, and then lay into the damaging votes, continuing to seize
praxis with new minions as the oppurtunity presents itself. You can
never have too many princes, since they tend to live very, very short lives.

Deck Name: Nevermore

Description: This deck started as an experiment in defending against
stealth-bleed decks without the aid of bleed bounce. The idea is to
get out obf-ani weenies, who then employ lots of Raven Spies. You
can't expect to block everything (especially early on, when you're
most vulnerable), but your predator will end up having to spend a lot
of stealth cards to get each action to succeed, to the point where
their hand will be stripped of sufficient stealth after one action
and they'll have to wait until they draw more stealth before making
another run. In the meantime, you can recoup any pool lost by
farming from Blood Dolls. You're also looking to get bleed retainers
and Sniper Rifles, as well as additional weenies. You eventually oust
your prey with weenie bleeds.

Deck Name: One, Two (As in "one, two princes stand before you, that's

what I said now." Spin Doctors song.)

So I think this proves that the Euro Brujah are strong even in the hands
of someone who does not know what they are doing. The deck currently has
too many votes and too much Dominate. In this tournament it definitely
needed more Immortal Grapple. People just kept running away. The flow of
the deck is pretty poor as it is written. I may try more combat. I also
could not get in as many fights as I would like so maybe a haven or
additional bums rushes would be nice.

Sven Helmer

Deck Name: Anarch Diversion
Created by: Sven Helmer (inspired by Kevin Scribner's Anarchs Deck)

Description: Toolboxy Anarch Deck with lots of Diversions

When I visited the Boston playgroup in spring 2004 and played a game
with Kevin Scribner, I was impressed by his Anarch deck featuring
lots of diversions and decided to build one myself. The deck is a
little bit slow, but once it gets going it's really fun to play.

Powerbase:LA is a strong addition to this deck. Discarding your
surplus Galaric's Legacies and untapping vampires by doing so is
really nice. In my attempt to get down the number of cards I threw
out too many Weighted Walking Sticks (should have been more),
especially after replacing some with Zip guns (I had some trouble with
ranged combat decks before adding Zip guns, as my Magnums were always
blocked). Reformation wasn't too great (only played it once,
unsuccessfully). I also had trouble drawing into my Blood Dolls, maybe
I should add one more (and/or throw out some more cards).

-- 5VP in final

Deck Name: The White House

Description: Created by Alex Ek and Erik Torstensson.
Won the tournament in Gothenburg on the 8 January, 2005. It took 1GW,
The idea is to lock down the table with your first traditions, then
pay for your turns and try to get a lower pool than your prey. Then
Parity Shift the pool back. If you can't get lower, then just use
your other damage dealing votes to oust.

Deck Name: Buckets o' Money

Description: Basically a Group 3-4 Ventrue version of the Lasombra
Creation Boon deck, using 3rd Trads instead of Creation Rites and
Ventrue Headquarters instead of Power Structure. Marcus Vitel's
retainer-burning ability was invaluable in the tournament. This
is now the second tournament I've won with a deck that was the
result of a conversation with Sten During (the previous deck was
Pochtli Twister).

Deck Name: Erase Me (V4.0)

Here is my winning deck. In this tournament, I've met more political decks than
I've ever seen in a single tourney and most of them were built using big-cap vamps.
This, of course, was to my advantage, since killing a big-cap cripples someone terribly.

Description: Derange vamps, give them some much-needed Dementia and have them climb the Social Ladder.

Jeffrey Thompson

Deck Name: A Sudden Anarch Troublemaker

Jeffrey Thompson won using this deck with 4 victory points in every
round, including the finals. Only 1 victory point was acquired via
Dramatic Upheaval, this happened in the first round. This was the
same deck he played at the North American Continental Championship
where he also took 1 game win.

Description: Get the Anarch Troublemaker in play early. Use it on the
turn you expect to finish your prey, or on a turn where it will make a
big enough difference that you can afford to have it used by your
prey. Optimally, you will play another one on the turn you give it to
your prey to prevent them from using it should they survive your
attack. Sudden Reversal is key to preventing other decks from
destroying you or your strategy. Successful Sudden targets included
Minion Taps, Blood Dolls, Fame, and Ventrue Headquarters.

Vote Nos 2004
Jay Kristoff won this tournament handily with 4VP in the final. I
believe that he had 2 game wins going in.

(90)

There are too many masters thanks to some last minute card additions.
The Rampage really ought to be an Arson, but Rampage is so much
cooler. I never got to use Destructive Secrets, but I think it would
be quite good in an end game. The deck can wrestle for vote control
with the "I (re)vote my Nos Justicar, it passes easily, Cryptic Rider,
Praxis Seizure" trick. I had fun stealing Living Manse and Palatial
Estate with Disputed Territory. Club Zombie's intercept is meant to be
given to Embraces to block nasty actions, or it's just an expensive
hunting ground. When the deck is up and running well, it tends to lots
of vamps and pool. Special thanks to Will Kristoff, Nick Smith, and
Mark Loughman for loaning me cards to complete my deck.

Deck Name: Kamut Krisp

Begin Ankur's comments]

The deck name is from an unusually terrifying cereal of the same name.
A version of this deck was in the !Nosferatu newsletter from
March 2004. Peter Bajika and I must share a brain, as he independently
and simultaneously posted another very similar version of this deck in
the Nosferatu newsletter in the same month. (This is probably bad, since
it means I'm vulnerable to employing the Bajika Gambit. . . .) The deck
is essentially a strong mix of intercept deterrent combat and bleeding
at stealth. The mid/end game is strongly affected by the presence of
the Thuggees, who exist to torpor key minions with low blood (which will
be the case in the mid/end game). All of a sudden, the hit for three with
the lid is extremely relevant for any deck without prevention. The deck
truly locks into high gear with a Sabbat prey. A Sabbat predator isn't
bad either.

Here are some comments on deck construction:

Of the vampires in the crypt I least like Tarbaby Jack, as his special
isn't of great use to me. I have considered doubling up (or tripling up)
on virtually every vampire in the crypt aside from Piotr and Ingram, but
ultimately made no change in order to minimize bad crypt draw. . . . .
Probably the best choice to replace him is another Kazimir, though Mariano
Pomposo and Soldat aren't horrible choices either (but you lose the use
of the Nosferatu Kingdom and the Information Network for these swaps).
Usually, everyone thinks Ingram is the best vampire in the crypt, but
they just happen to all be wrong. Piotr consistently gains about 16-20
pool for the deck before he bites it. He is the hoss of all that is
good and holy, but not worth three copies. You may notice that Peter
and I share the same crypt. I originally had Korah in place of Quira,
but once I saw his version of the deck, I decided that Peter made good
sense on the choice and switched.

I tried to make it an 80 card deck, but in most games, I do a good job
of using most of the deck, so 90 cards seems to be the lesser of two
evils -- I'd rather flow cards slightly more poorly than not have cards
to flow. (Though, incidentally, this logic only works if you're decking
yourself quite often.) Kaymakli Nightmares and Info Highway were included
to handle a problem that I often seemed to face with this deck: too much
free pool in my uncontrolled region. I wanted to access that pool faster
with these cards. If I happen to draw an early Kaymakli (instead of the
late draw I'm hoping for), it can really slow down other decks and
increases the value of the less enabled vampires in the crypt -- Piotr,
Roger, and the Colonel.

Remover is the most golden card ever. It effectively serves as stealth
for the Thuggees without using the precious little stealth I have, as
well as forcing my prey to use wakes. Weeping Stone was the best
decision I made among the masters. Not sure about the Nosferatu Kingdom,
though it's probably solid math to keep it. I often have to fish to see
my second !Nosferatu, but then again, I fish quite often anyway.
I guess it makes good use of the extra Ingrams. I'd like to fit in an
extra Corporeal Reservoir if possible. I considered Perfectionist, but
this is a deck that not only doesn't necessarily need it, but really
*really* doesn't want it. I don't want to give anyone any incentive to
block/deflect anything I do. It's critical that they take the small
bleeds and let the small bloat through. Momentum's Edge, on the other
hand, *is* a card that would go quite well in this deck. Perhaps it
is the swap for Nosferatu Kingdom. Dunno, though, since if the deck
has ousted, it's probably doing just fine, but if it's not, you can
still gain pool from Nosferatu Kingdom.

I have exactly one Stunt Cycle in the deck, primarily as anti-Ivory
Bow tech. Never saw the dratted thing all day, and I really really
wanted it the final -- it would have saved me a trip to torpor.
Probably not worth a second copy, though, as I'd rather have dependable
damage most of the time. Aura Reading saved my butt at both levels
in many games.

Art of Memory is the best card in the whole freaking deck. I ousted
several times only as a result of this card. It's stealth, combat,
or actions -- whatever you need most -- that you decide *after* you
draw into your replacements and see how the attempted action played
out. Hell, you can even slap them on a bleed for one. They probably
won't even attempt to block, because they figure you have stealth in
your hand that you'll just take back and use on the next action. An
outstanding card. I toyed with adding more, but they might be wasted
slots. (Jamming on them is unlikely as you can cycle them on anything.)
I basically want one in my hand, and I pre-emptively use it before my
hand turns into utter crap and needs to be flushed with Aura Reading
/ Admonitions. Incidentally, the timing of getting back Admonitions
around the table synchs up well with the Arts. I royally screwed up
the use of the Admonitions in the final, though. (Sorry Will!)

I struggled a lot with the choice of intercept. Six Ministries is
usually about one too many, but I always want to have one in my hand;
six Misdirections irritates me, as I feel all sleazy and gooey when I
bounce. But it's there nonetheless. Ideally, I'd almost like another
Spirit's Touch for the maneuver, but I can't imagine what I'd drop
for it. Ministry isn't a good trade, since any chump can use it (today,
Chump = Teresita or Tarbaby), and is a whole lot of intercept at once.
I forgot to swap out two Wakes for two Forced Awakenings, which I think
would have helped me out a couple of times.

Also, I really wanted more stealth in the deck for those situations
when I'm bleeding a non-Sabbat prey. Adding another Cloak and
another Swallowed (or maybe two Swalloweds to also address the
Spirit's Touch problem) would satisfy me, I think. Dunno what I
would/could drop for it. Maybe one Kamut for one Swallowed to start
with, but then the deck would be less capable of bloating
mindlessly and being named after a cereal. ;)

Another interesting solution to my lack of stealth was suggested by
R. Brian Smith and I think might just work if done well --
Derange your prey to make them Sabbat. I have enough Malk Antis in
the crypt to support such an idea, and it's probably worth it
to slot in 2-3 Deranges in total. The trick is just to find a small
enough target, since Derange only works on younger vampires.
(Ironically enough, this might justify swapping back to Korah.)
Even if you can't use it on your immediate prey, if someone is
deranged down the line, it'll be good for you in the end. It has the
side benefits of:
a) introducing a (D) action that might be directed at you to block,
b) either forcing them to have wakes or burning blood off of vampires
(which give the Thuggees more tasty targets), and
c) eliminating dangerous votes from the table.

"My Deck is Cooler Than Yours!"
Weenie Obfuscate Cooler Bloat

A Blood Doll/Cooler bloat deck I have been working on for a while (and
failed to get anywhere significant at the NE Reigonals this past
February with) that Jon Darbro convinced me to play at this
tournament. The Perfectionists turned out to be incredibly useful (who
woulda thought...), but the last minute inclusion of Specialization
didn't really help much--it would have been better off as, well,
pretty much anything (maybe a Zoning Board to get rid of locations?)

Deck: Malk/Anti Stealth-Bleed

The deck is really straightforward: it bleeds it's prey, hopes to
avoid being killed in combat, and uses some telepathic cards to try to
defend itself. There are some things I will change about this deck,
namely the two hunting grounds weren't so useful (Minion Tap / blood
doll probably better in at least one of those slots) and some other
stuff like finicking with ratios of certain cards.

Beast Want Hug

The deck is going to pretty much stay the same as above, although I'm
probably going to take out the Undead Strengths. They usually wind up
being superfluous as I'm already doing 3+ hand damage with Signpost
and 1-2 points from Crows. The Decapitate is usually just in there as
icing, too, so it might move out for something better.

Weaknesses: If my prey is exceedingly ranged-based, then I'm screwed.
I was considering putting in three or four Stunt Cycles to help deal
with decks that prefer to fight from a distance. However, a ranged
deck as my predator is not so bad considering Guard Dogs give me 6
more Maneuvers.

Up-stream Play: A lot of people frown at me when I go upstream in the
early game, but I've found it's key to playing this deck effectively.
One turn spent crippling my predator means I have nearly one oust's-
worth of mostly forward action I can apply to my prey. I've been
trying to teach myself "when enough is enough" but sometimes I've
punched somebody into torpor when I should've just left them at 0
blood. Fight decks aren't just mindless obliteration - rather than a
messy dirty bomb, you have to be a precision tactical nuke.

Anyway, enjoy.

Deck Name: Settite Legal V4.0
Created by: Lance Shope

When I went in to the tourney, I was looking for something that would
take advantage of the Boston metagame. I borrowed a deck idea from
Lance Shope, and we discussed how to modify it to make it work in the
environment we anticipated. The delaying tactics and archon
investigation were vital for dealing with the plethora of vote and
bleed decks that day. The deck also had enough bloat that could
survive without any bounce.

Description: Obf bleed with Legal Manipulation. Majesty if you get
intercepted. Use the temptations on your own vampires if they run
low on blood. They can Legal Manipulate (cost one blood) then Tempt
self to hunt and gain the blood back. Or Tempt opponent's vampires
(standard).

Deck Name: The Blockinator

Description: Group 1-2 AUS-CEL Toreador Princes with Concealed
.44's and a big pile of intercept, untap, and Celerity cards.
All the Princes (save for Volker) have +1 bleed, so there's
built-in ousting power once you've gotten your prey's vampires
smushed. The Rack, Art Museum, Hunting Ground, and a wad of
Blood Dolls provide a solid pool-gaining infrastructure.

Deck Name: the Trickstars

Judge: Ginés Quiñonero (Damnans)

Description: This deck was inspired by not a few comments on this newsgroup
about how Anthelios can be abused. Decided to build and paly this deck on
saturday at friday's evening, and built it at 6 in the morning once I
arrived home after a few drinks with some friends. Some cards were missing,
somehow I lost the Art of Love and not a few events should go in, but I
wanted to play it in order to see if, for one time, the theory matches
reality. Will rewrite it this week, as definitely some form of permanent
bleed is necessary.

the point is: with Anthelios in play, you can add casual but definitive
master cards that won't be needed each game but that will be a nice addition
in an attrition deck like this. Cards that forgot to include (but obviously
are a must) are Cultivated Blood Shortage, a Sudden, a Direct Intervention
and Vox Domini, and obviously downgrade the number of card to 75. Some other
events are to go in, like The Slow Withering and Blood Weakens, just to
increase the effect of Wormwood.

Beefcake Blocks!

The deck was designed for a more bleedy atmoshpere than this
tournament turned out to be. Even so, it held up well. Lots of cool,
permanent resources, and a nice assortment of previously proven
cards. Nothing ground-breaking here. We already knew that the
Erciyes Fragment is good; add the fact that Beefcake can play many
of the most popular tournament skills, and it gets really strong.
I think this is my first tournament winning deck to use Dominate.
It took several showers before I felt clean following this win:)

Deck Name: Call me Julio

Description: POT/DOM is always good. Let's add permanent rush, +strength,
Nosferatu Kingdom and a bad attitude!

You can see from the crypt that an important part of playing this deck
is being incredibly lucky. I drew Beast in three out of four games and
I drew Julio in every one. How'd I get so lucky? Dunno, I got a horrible
crypt draw in a casual game on Friday.

I've discussed some of the combat above and in other threads.
In many ways, it's your basic Potence package. The key is the guys with
+strength. The first time they beat someone down, they'll need a few
cards (or a lot of cards) to do so. After that, a Grapple might not
even be necessary. Pure goodness.

An earlier version of the deck used Guardian Angels to avoid agg pokes
and similar, but I took them out of the final version reasoning that most
of the combat I see in tournaments is Potence combat or guns and also that
considering the expense of my minions, my masters should gain me pool, not
cost pool. I also had some Gang Tactics in an earlier version just because
I think the art on them is hysterical and they're kind of useful.
They were ultimately dropped for maneuvers because it seems more useful to
me to be able to hold the maneuvers and play them in combat as needed than
it is to assume I'll want close range on a certain action. Now that I've
won a tournament with this deck, I might put them back in just for fun.

Muaziz's Emancipation Proclamation

(90)


highlights:
-Moving the retainers around with Heidelberg Castle.
It can provide multiple plus bleeds, and multiple rushes
with Stone Dog and Razor Bats.
-Darning the Dawn and not going to torpor with Armor of Terra.
-Multiple Blood Dolls on Muaziz + Disarm/Bow Gargoyle combat
+ Muaziz unchecked Diablerie = pool.
-Evoking the Slave rule when Muaziz gets blocked.
-Saying "Ublo-Satha" in Jabba the Hut voice all day long.


Thanks to Corey Brindley for some deck testing advice.
Charnas the Imp should have been in the deck, but I forgot about him.
Also, when Gehenna becomes legal, some of the damage prevention
will change to Soak because of its synergy with Armor of Terra.

For those interested: I didn't PTO a single vampire in any of me 4
games:D

It plays fairly simple. Get out a justicar quickly, Parity Shift to
recover, bring out Arika or Leandro. Tap him, and start bleeding. In
essention it kills by bleeding, but the votes allow you an enourmous
impact on the table. I never got more then 3 points with this deck, so
in the future I would add more ousting power.

Deck Name: Thrown Junk & Sexy Tricks (TM)

This deck doesn't really need a lot of description; it's full forward
motion CEL/pot combat with a few sexy tricks (credit goes to Peter
Bakija). It has decent bloat and small minions, so having 4 or 5 out
is not uncommon. Bleeding for 4-5 a turn is something very few decks
can deal with, so it ousts fairly fast as well.

Since some people asked why I added that last part to the name, so here it is:
Sexy Trick #1: The Waste Management Operation / Al's Army Apparatus shuffle tech
Sexy Trick #2: The lone Contract
Sexy Trick #3: The Fast Hands

Deck Name: Gratiano's Prima Donna

Description: Lasombra S&B for the tournament in Pittsburgh, 3/27/04

Anyway, here's the decklist. There's not much new tech in here but for some
concerted effort to keep blood on my vampires. I've found that the Hungry
Coyote is close to miraculous for keeping alive if you feel you have to
turtle up for a little while, and it's usually a turn well spent hunting
with the HC around to recoup some blood spent on Dominate bleeds.

Possible improvements:

Drop one Kassiym from an extra copy of Banjoko, add an extra Path
and reduce the number of Stone Travels for some extra combat defence.
Maybe drop the prayer cards (Dramatic Upheaval, Graverobbing) and try
to find some more Shroud of Absence... As it is, though, the deck
performs well and cycles beautifully. True combat as a predator will
likely crunch it, but true combat has to go upstream heavily or it won't
survive, so you may be able to just sit it out for a while until
the coast is clear.

Deck Name: Moncada's Army

Description: Lasombra votey-bleedy stuff. Always get your
biggest vampire first (yes, that's usually Moncada) and use
superior Governs to hoist the rest of the crypt up. You can
get away with having no wakes because of the Creation Rites
babies who sit around untapped with Dominate and Moncada's
special ability. The Fortitude masters are for the real
vampires, not the babies (I don't actually expect to make
more than 4 babies tops so that's why only 4 Dom masters)
but they could probably be replaced by Bewitching Orations
or Voter Captivations or anything else useful. Maybe D.I.
for those cursed Protect Thine Owns.

Little Sister

Description: This deck is actually not my own. I forgot to bring
a deck to a tournament and borrowed this one. The primary creator is
my little sister, Keiko Düring, and after that the deck has been heavily
modified by her boyfriend, Max Widen, Beatrice Düring, my wife, and myself.

Bleed, rush, beat the crap out of anything that stands in the way and
pray that you don't encounter aggravated damage.

The deck has a surprisingly powerful bloat-engine as well - something
that is much needed as it intercepts very little and bounces not at all.

Deck Name: Feminine Magic v1.3

Description: Rather straightforward Thaumaturgy bruise & Dominate
bleed. One last minute change proved to be immensely beneficial,
I'd actually tribute my two out of three GW's in last tournament
solely to the decision on adding the Pentex Subversion to the deck.
The deck still contains some 'testing material', like single
Graverobbing, Blood to Water and Obedience cards which probably will
be changed in the next revision.

Deck Name: Pochtli Twister

Description: I was wondering about building a deck that was less than
60 cards - and padding it out with burn option cards - to see if there
was potential for abuse (withdrawal excepted). At least from this
experiment, there's no abuse to be found, but it's a fun deck to play.
The Tracker's Marks were specifically chosen because they're red and
thereby easy to spot in your hand, helping you to not forget to
discard during other players' untap phases. I strongly suggest
making room for a third Telepathic Counter. The idea for the deck
comes from a deck (called Pochtli Twister) built by one of our local
guys - Keith Page - a couple years ago, before Bloodlines was
released. He stopped playing a while back, but I figured I'd revive
the idea.

Jonathan Mason

Deck Name: Semi-Responsible Bleed

the basic idea is somewhat responsible sneak and bleed with slightly
more defense than an all out S&B deck might have, since they're all
mid-cap vampires. Le Dinh Tho (i'd add a third of him if i owned
another) takes the first action every turn to get rid of Deflections,
wake, intercept and other nastiness. Get at least little obf on him if
you can to make sure he can get his inherent action off. Additionally,
the change of targets and Spying Missions are there to make sure you
don't bleed your grandprey too much. CoT is also good for drawing out
wakes from your prey. I'd replace the dodges with absorb the minds if
i owned them, since everyone in the crypt has dom. I'd also
consider putting in a fragment of the book of nod. i stole one during
one game and it really helped card flow. The kindred restructure is a
prayer card and might be better as a dramatic upheaval so anyone could play it.

that's mostly it. Govern down for pool gain and more minions,
especially early. The more actions you can take, the better. Have fun!

-- 1GW7.5 + 3VP in final

Deck Name: Ruptura Interior

Description: A derange deck that has been in my mind since the new
reword on derange. I finally got all the deranges I needed and I put
it together and played it on our february tourney here in gothenburg.

Combating Cailean: block/kill, Giovanni: pot/rush, Setite:
sb/Enticement and Etrius: powerbleed.

The idea is to take it easy, try to be friendly even if you put
Leandro in play. Play deranges and wait for the right movement. When
a majority of the table is turning malk. Then steal the vamps. Minion
tap them, Golconda them, Burn them with PTO and prevent them from
killing you with Obedience. Use all the broken cards you can think of
and win. It requires a great deal of thinking and some dealing but
it always takes vp and it usually takes gw's too.

Description: Tournament winning deck for
You Ain't My Baby's Daddy: Columbus

!Torries and start breeding. Once you have between 5-9 minions,
start bleeding with Palla Grande out. Bloat and Greta + bounce for
defence. Only works in low intercept environments.

Deck Name: Uglier Jack

Comments: A very slight tweak to my Ugly Jack deck featured in the
!Nos newsletter a few months back. I swapped out Calebos for a second
Teresita and Unburdening the Bestial Soul for Anachronism, which went
in mainly to deal with the pair of players (if not more) I correctly
guessed would be playing with Assault Rifles. Never played it, but I
was gratified that I had guessed the meta-game correctly. I had meant
to swap out Tock for Nigel the Shunned and forgot to. Picked up 3GW9,
then won the finals with a lot of luck in the timing.

Deck Name: (she's got the) east side blues

Description: Doesn't like weenies or rushes, but when Arika performs
4+ actions on her first turn, the table swings to your advantage.
Hidden strength is good vs Aid/Carrion, Trap, Grapple and can even be
used offensivly in late game. Cloaks are good for stolen minions. PTO
worked fine, but wasn't gamewinning. You can get votes by robbing
other titles, if needed.

Deck Name: Rachel Brandyclaws

Description: Stealth bleed with Protean for combat defense/offense.
Bleed for 2 or 3 at stealth. Use Form of Mist to minimize bounce
potential. Rötschreck rushers and odds are they won't rush again
soon.

Never saw Kite or Dolphin Black, but Tony showed up in every game, I
think. I originally had only 3 Rachels and 1 Imogen (the only other
Malk/!Malk with Protean & Dementation), but ultimately decided to drop
the crappy Imogen for a 4th Rachel, improving my chances of drawing
her.

Never used the hunting grounds. My Blood Dolls always clumped (had
them all early in the first round, but never saw them in the finals).
The skill cards came in handy, Sudden less so. I managed a Giant's
Blood on empty Rachel in round 1, but wasn't able to use it in later
rounds (usually because someone else beat me to it).

I Rötschrecked Tzimisce a few times, which gave me a real sense of
satisfaction.:)

The Dreams are absolutely essential. Combined with Rachel's ability,
they're just amazing. I also got them early enough the final to have
Rachel on turn two. If I hadn't had that many Dreams, I would've
probably not gotten a single VP all day as I would've been hand-jammed
nearly all the time.

Blessing of Chaos and Restructure were prayer cards, but Blessing
enabled me to oust Josh very early in the finals as he couldn't play
Voter Captivation. I managed to Restructure a War Ghoul in round 3.
That ended up being the round I lost, but the War Ghoul was
instrumental in helping me oust my first prey.

The utility of Kindred Spirits goes without saying. The pool gain
from them kept me alive as I was almost never blocked. I considered
adding more The Call, but four of them turned out very well as I
consistently drew them when I wanted them.

The three Deranges (all I own) ended up being only a minor annoyance
as there weren't an titled vamps for me to change sects on and most
people didn't bother trying to move the Deranges around.

Six Eyes of Chaos proved to be a very good number and gave me fairly
consistent good bleed without jamming my hand on modifiers. The rest
of the stealth (18 cards counting the Swalloweds) were pretty good. I
was able to sneak past wall decks on occasion. I never used Spying
Mission for "responsible bleeding" because most of the time when I was
bounced, I ended up ousting my prey soon enough anyway and it was good
to have my next prey softened up.

Never had a good opportunity for it, but I think it's good in theory.

Seems like it might not be enough, considering my vampires are huge,
but the Dreams cycling and Kindred Spirits pool gain compensates well
enough.

I was expecting more combat and this proved to be too much, but again
the Dreams cycling saved me again. The Forms of Mist were great for
getting past Eternally Vigilant Cailean or just for tapping a blocker.
Better than pain "responsible bleeding", this card helped my bleeds
hit their target.

The Flesh of Marble helped out a lot when I was getting rushed by a
War Ghoul in round two.

Mostly used for stealth. I maneuvered a couple times just to cycle them.

Deck Name: Gangrel

Wanting to play a deck without bounce, my eye fell on Gangrel royalty.
This is what i made of it. After the tournament I would scratch the
Raven Spies, Succubus Club, Fifth Traditions, Fourth Traditions, and
add in a few more Restorations. Legendary vampire is really a great
card for this deck.

'All your beast are belong to us'

The whole vote deck module thing seems to be working. The Gathers
worked well, the Zillah's were quite bad in this deck due to Ingrid's
special ability. They would be better as Dreams to give a bit of
acceleration in the early game and see more of the deck as the game
progresses.

"little brother is watching you"

there are some minor flaws and this deck needs to be tweaked a little:

this deck is currently 75 cards it should be tuned down
to 60-65 cards or increase the number of Blood Dolls.
play style be patient gain pool influence minions and
stay in the background there has to be always a bigger
threat on the table. Try to burn vamps with the society
play them when the vamp is on one or 2 blood.

Description: This deck is all about our dear prophet Anatole
becoming a police officer, and trying to advance in the ranks.

Anatole is up with the top ten vampires, along with Anneke,

and gets an Assault Rifle and Flak Jacket, he has loads of
make sure that the one's he busts stays calm.

A nice table control deck with eight Eagle's Sight can't be wrong...
All you need to do is to decide which players you can afford to lose
and which you can give VP's to. Then just look at your top five cards,
shuffle them and play.

1x Hungry Coyote, The -- after the tournament I have decided that the Jakes are enough for this and that my minions have always better actions to do rather than hunt. I would change it for a Pentex "anti helena/Lucas halton/..." Subversion

5x Summoning, The -- key, essential, If you summon a WG and the action is blocked you don't lose the Meat machine so you could try it later, and it also multiplies the number of getting a WG from my library

Deck Name: The Stay-Puft Marshmallow Deck

Description: Based on Ethan Burrow's prototype, which used Hungry Coyote and
the Sabbat trifle, except that I didn't have any Hungry Coyotes, so I choose
the Anarch route. Hesha is the deck's star player, helping you bloat for 2
or 3 per turn. Greta and Jost Enchant down and handle the bulk of the Auspex
defense. Try to give Kyoko the Unlicensed Taxicab if you can so that she can
hunt for extra blood (via Hospital Food) at +2 stealth. Important: save the
Direct Interventions for Dramatic Upheaval, Kindred Restructure, and Protect
Thine Own. Props to Andreas Nusser for suggeting Form of Corruption -
it causes your prey to slow down and not get away from you while you're
building up.

Chris Kellahan

Deck Name: Created Dominion v1.1

This won me a 12 player tournament on the 9th of August 2003 (AP League
round 1), held in Blacktown, Sydney. 3 rounds plus final. 1GW and 6
vps had me ranked 2nd going into the finals. I'd only seen 2 of the
other 4 decks during the prelims, and so i chose to sit between the
two unknowns (well, i sat as the predator of the deck i had heard was
a Setite Dominate stealth bleed, so it wasn't totally unknown). Marty
(1st going into the finals with a Kiasyd bleed deck) sat as my grand
predator. In the final i got 4VP and the GW. Marty got the other VP.

Deck Name: Yojimbo

Description: Get out a couple of minis and Karsh then go to town. Hit
predator hard if needed then watch the table carefully and pick your
targets, use your rushes wisely and get a cannon as soon as possible
to give you options and to conserve combat cards if you need to. Save
Beast Meld to get a Rifle or to guarantee downing a primary target if
you already have one.

Deck gets trucking on only 12-13 expenditure and really kicks-off
after you have a piece. Use Karsh's in-built rush to cycle into
essential cards and don't worry too much about losing the one point
buddies. Bleeding the Vine won me a round and Secure Haven the final,
they are essential tech. Bleeding the Vine is an amazingly powerful

I think in hindsight I might try and find room for one more rush and
one more Freak, deck is tight though. Built first to take down other
combat decks, it seems to handle tourneys quite nicely as well. I had
a great time torporing waves of minions with it. Karsh is a madman.
That is all.

This deck originally contained an Erichtho instead of Kij, a Rumor Mill
instead of the 2nd Pentex Subversion, and a Redirection instead of the
2nd Magic of the Smith. Each of these was changed the night before the
tournament, and each was important in one game or another. I came to
PRAISE Pentex throughout the tournament--especially in the finals when
I used it as a 2 pool Misdirection to screw my prey's Sheila Mezarin and
unload a hand full of bleed on poor Forrest for the oust. My strategy in
seating was to sit opposite Jay, because experience has shown him to be
a good cross table ally, and indeed without his help (read: Powerbase)
I would very likely have been ousted.

Since Jay and I had identical records going into the final round
(8vp 2tw 2nd place), LSJ had to flip a coin to determine our rank--so,
I am this year's winner because I called "heads". Clearly Jay Kristoff
is an excellent player and deserves this title every bit as much as I.

"The Nosferatu Is Your Friend!"
(aka. Nosferatu- A Gate Too Far)

Since the library has practically no cards that give additional votes
(except the Elysium) it is essential to get as many votes into play as
possible - with big Minion Taps it's not uncommon at all to have 8-9
votes in the late game (Harrod, Nikolaus, Sheldon, e.g.), which is
usually enough to pass a referendum. In combat, the deck relies
heavily on maneuvers gained from Thrown Gates and Swallowed by the
Nights. In case the opponent seems to be able to handle long-range
combat as well, the deck has some light damage-prevention. In general,
though, it is best not to block actions/bleeds from combat-heavy
decks, but rather to try to bloat quickly with Minion Taps and Parity
Shifts.

The deck placed second in Crusade: Helsinki IV, and first in Crusade:
Helsinki V

Gerald Claycomb III

Deck Name: Bleeding Fags

Well, the cards were chosen out of neccessity, since I do not have the
extensive card collections SOME people have *Glares at Brian*. The
basic strategy was to intercept as many actions from my prey as I
could, then bleed the snot out of them when he is tapped out,
preferably using someone with Pulse of the Canaille on them. Should
my prey still have blockers when it happens to be my turn, that is
were the Strike: Combat Ends combat cards help out, as well as when
everybody decides I need to leave the table, and start salmon swimming
towards me. If I had the cards that I would have prefered in the
deck, I would have swapped out the Putreficatioins for Majesties, but
I only had 4 of them, and Putrefications did work (I guess no one uses
them for the Presence ability but me). I would have also added Eagle's
Sight, to intercept annoying votes that wasn't called by my Pred/Prey.

I had alot of luck during the Tournament, being able to get Jost in
the 1st four on three of the four matches, so he happened to be my big
bad bleeder, as well as having a combat deck as my predator the
majority of times, which helped me out since I was able to draw my
S:CE cards as they drew Rushes and the like. All in all, I really do
not have many complaints about my own deck, since it did work
according to my plans. I guess I could complain about the fact that
the crypt capacity average was higher than I wished it to be, but
looking at the Elder Library database, there wasn't many I wished to
add. Sometimes the deck wasn't cycling cards fast enough, but that is
something that could have been remedied at the time.

Deck Name: Fairies 'R Us

This is basically an all-around sneak & bleed but bash 'em if they block you
deck. On the first round, I worked all the way through my cards two turns
before the end of the game, so it's a good thing I decided to throw in enough
cards to bring the deck to 90. The final saw me entombing the majority of my
predator's vamps and sneaking through the defenses of my prey to eventually
pump a bleed and take him out. One thing I'd do to make it more effective
would be to put in another Tension or two, and to figure out some way to handle
the Immortal Grapple decks a wee bit better.

"Gentleness"

The deck is called "Gentleness" based on my Jyhad philosophy that
goes, "The gentle Methuselah is the successful Methuselah". The deck
is "gentle" because it comes out slowly and lets the game develop
around it. Much like Jay plays most of the time. Combat is based
around Silvia blowing beads off of less-combat capable vampires. Zack
and Chester are backups who provide crypt-draw variety. It "cheats"
in terms of combat in that it uses Skin of Steel for protection only
in the basic. This is bad for two reasons. One, I normally am weak
against Celerity combat. Two, I can't use SoS when Silvia or others
are empty. Hence, the Giant's Blood and Tastes.

Deck Name: So Long, and Thanks For all the Fish

Timing is key for this deck. Park the Week under a Storage Annex until
the time is right. Bleed lightly but consistently during the early and
midgame. I tend to play recklessly and get out the fourth minion the turn
before I plan to pop the Week. By then, you ought to have a few +1 bleed
toys in play, and I have reliably hit one-turn bleeds of 12-16. Gabrin's
"other white meat" special, Nightmare Curses, and Red Herrings are very
useful for getting your prey's minions all tapped out just prior to the
wave of death. There's no hit back to the deck, but most people expect it
from the Ravnos, so work this early game on tables that don't know your
deck. You do have thirteen cards of "you can't touch this", though, so
don't be too afraid of blocking or being rushed (Grapple is, of course, a
bitch).

Deck Name: Spying Mission

Description: Obfuscate bleeder based on Spying Mission with some
bleed and combatdefence.
A rather hefty bloatenginge for this type of deck.
Play this and get rushed. A bleeder is a bleeder even if it looks
a bit different from the standard ones, and as such it is really
awfully boring to play. Tap out with everything unless a Deflection
isn't paired with a wake.

Deck Name: Brick in a sock

Description: Ummmm... Pretty obvious bleed or rush with lots of Pot
minions. Use Computer Hacks to force blocks or bleed for steady twos.
Bring back diab'ed minions with Hand of Conrad. Use Tributes as soon
as you get them, don't be afraid to Tribute to empty cos most of
minions can use Hungry Coyote when you get it to fill back up. Change
of Targets draw out wakes etc and make the deck a tiny bit faster and
much more annoying by adding to the total number of actions possible.
Ivory Bow is in mainly to contest because its about the most common
'worst single thing' you can come across and is pretty useful on its
own. Two non-pot Sabbat weenies are there to make up numbers, would do
without and go down to twelve but have run out of crypt a few times
which is no fun.

Also was a bit of an experiment on a few different levels. Has put my
mind to rest that a weenie pot Sabbat Embrace is indeed missed deck
opportunity #23 **sigh**

Wanted to try a version with a lot of solid masters and it worked
pretty well - what you lose in cycling you more than make up for in
pool gain so that works for me. A lot of the masters (18 assuming a
minion is out) are playable 'out of the box' so you don't often have
them sat in your hand... Which is nice.

A goodly amount of pool gen for a Pot deck and two AI's coupled with
numbers backrushTM makes for a pretty resilient Pot horde that keeps
on coming.

Anyway enough crap here is 'Brick in a sock'

Deck Name: Anarch Revolt (Mixed Clans)

Description: This Anarch Revolt deck is extremely nasty and
aggressive. The key to its success is to get The Parthenon, Anson,
and Rumors of Gehenna into play as soon as possible. With them in
play, you will have 3 master phase actions and be able to quickly use
the many master cards that are in this deck. This deck will make all
players lose pool every turn. And with the many Dominate bleed cards,
along with Misdirection, Seduction, and The Sleeping Mind, you will be
able to bleed your prey and ensure that he or she is the first player
to be ousted.

Orgy of Flesh - Breathe Harder Remix
Description: This deck is a modification to the Orgy of Flesh Palla
Grande/Vic deck. This adds the combat module used in Bow Down Before
Matteus, specifically the Breath of the Dragon and Rötschreck. Ideally
you focus on creating Creation Rites vampires with vic, and then they
either bleed when the Palla Grande is out, or Art Scam when it's not.
Non vic vampires do maintenence actions or get bleed defense duty.
Newly created Creation Rites can use Breath/Rötschreck to deter pesky
actions against you. Always influence out a titled vampire first, as
without the additional minions this deck might stall. With a titled
vampire out, the deck starts to roll almost immediately if the
Creation Rites are not blocked.

Here's the deck. It started out as an exact duplicate of one of "The
Lasombra's" decks called "In the Presence of the Lasombra" but was
quite a bit different after some last-minute tweaks. And it could use
a lot more frankly. I still contend that this deck is not that
fantastic. I welcome any comments, and if people are interested, I
will reveal what changes I think should be made based on all the hand
jam I was getting all day.

Deck Name: Lasombra Governing

Description: This deck won the War Party: Charleston, South Carolina
tournament on April 26th, 2003. There were 14 players, two rounds and
a final. This deck took game wins all three rounds.

The deck was designed to get out a larger Lasombra with superior
Dominate, who would then use Govern the Unaligned and Scouting Mission
to bring out the other vampires in the crypt. I always got at least
one vampire for free this way.

This deck was the Lasombra Commons deck that I won a tournament in Los
Angeles with a few years ago, but that got bumped up to 89 cards where
the original was 73 cards. There was also supposed to be a hunting
ground in the deck, but I forgot to add it in.

In the Charleston event, I took 4vp, 2.5VP, and then 3VP in the
finals.

Deck Name: Lies and Obfuscations (aka Your Government)

Description: Use the PRE obf vamps to call charming lobbies with
bewitching orations and voter caps. Use the obf vamps to call the
next vote, or piggyback another charming lobby with a pre obf vamp.
Get permanent votes as quickly as possible. Generally don't bother
blocking, as you shouldl be gaining a lot during your turn.

The Protected Resources should help a lot, however I found I often
had to burn them to get the edge or to bleed because I didn't have
votes or my votes wouldn't have passed. So obviously the deck needs
some work, particularly with the new voting system of the Anarch set.

"Camille & Raven's Royal Bash"

This deck is based upon a deck I used to play before NRA rules were
introduced. When DS was first released Force of Will added to Freak
Drive, Day Operation, Movement of the Slow Body & a Rapid Healing or
two, was just insane. To compensate for the "limited" number of bleed
actions being performed, some of the Rapid Healing/Force of Wills
have been replaced by Dominate cards.

together. Here's the actual tweak I played at the tournament. I've
renamed the deck in my head as "Twenty Around the Table", but it just

Deck Name: Garou by Night

Description: Anyone who says Garou are not worth 5 pool haven't seen
this deck. This deck has played in tournaments all over North
America, its earliest viable version can be found on Seattle's
Qualifier page for 2002. A constant work in progress that began to
show people that memories was broken, but it isn't as I have proven
to myself. Drop the suddens, put in DI, add more delaying, Ancilla
Empowerment can do 15 damage to you no problem in this deck so
BEWARE!! Good luck, if you play the deck or want advice on how to,
let me know, it isn't as easy as it looks, you can kill yourself very
very quickly. Great Lakes Qualifier was 45 people. doros@umich.edu

Deck Name: Call 666 B-E-A-S-T

Description: Call up the Great Beast, give him VICISSITUDE TEMPORIS and
OBEAH and let the good times roll. Ideal opening hand is Minion tap,
Vicissitude skill card a call the great beast and lost in crowds/Domain
of Evernight. Bring out Huitzopochtli use his special to gain another
master phase so you can Minion Tap and put a skill card on him and hope
theres not massive intercept around...

... this was an evolution of the mid 70 card version i included in the
Great Beast *ahem* newsletter but found that i kept running out of
cards. Boosted the defence and bloat side of the deck and it seemed to
flow well in the 2nd and 3rd rounds, only stuttering in the final and
the first round (when bleeding James and his Mobile Intercept
Vehicle...:)
Still managed 3GW11 in total on the day, so not tooooo shabby for
a Baali deck...(chortle)

Deck Name: Crazy Weenie Bloat

Description: Inspiration for the deck comes from Oscar Garza. We figured
out the card list for this deck on paper before I touched a single card.
Pretty much just bloat with the kindred spirits. Let your prey work
themselves into striking distance, drop a madman's quill and explode.

Deck Name: Die Kuchenfrau goes mad

Description: someone has stolen rachel's sneakers (or something).
Probably your prey. She wants it back. By killing. Bleed, oust, win.
Victoria is "great" with the network, which is broken. Earth meld is
broken too. Add some candy just for fun like Sniper Rifle, Ivory Bow
and Aarons Feeding Razor. You don't need the Madness Network /
homonolucus combo to win, though it make things more easy. Cards that
also would fit in are probably gigants blood and Curse of Nitocris.
Muddled vampire hunter is great to make players leave the network
alone, one more would be good. The only problem for this deck is
Immortal Grapple, but no one ever plays it around here so... in an
more grappling environment I would add Claws of the Dead and
Rötschreck. Or some more Sniper Rifles.

Deck Name: The !Tremere Make Their Presence Known

Description: A !Tremere vote deck that
utilizes Presence. Alfred, Ayelea, and Bryan already
have Presence. Ian can play Presence cards. Otherwise,
use a combination of Infernal Pact, Presence skill
cards, and Created Gargoyles (cute Pokemon proxies).
Once you manage to secure political domination,
outplay, outwit, and outlast your opponents!

time, via charisma and soul of the earth, the rock cats hit the table for
free. Armor of terra-daring the dawn also grants a fair posibility to put
them in play.

"Mr. Majestic"

A horde of small cap vampires with PRE relentlessly bleed and vote,
taking multiple actions in the same turn. Charming lobby, awe and
bewitching orations provide huge amount of votes, and voter
captivations replenish your vampires, so allowing unlimited use of
superior Majesty. Expect everybody at the table to turn against you:
which is good, since you will cycle even faster through your library!
This deck will be completely shut down by Atonement, so use your
Hostile Takeover judiciously (a second one will be necessary, when
this list will be made public).

Deck Name: Laz-Man Standing

Lazverinus is the star of the show. His job is to take out opposing
minions using multi-rush/Freak Drive to do multiple actions per turn
for lots of damage and rapid card cycling. This clears the way for the
support team to bleed my prey.

With Laz's +2 Strength I can have a combat deck with very few
do-damage cards (only 7) and focus more on picking fights, surviving
them, and beating combat defense. Lazverinus isn't stopped by
Obedience and Grapple-punch for 3-press-punch for 3 again takes most
minions down.

The deck had great flow and played very well on Sat.

Another things I like about this deck is that I finally found a way to
get Political Ally to work.

Dan Keller

Deck Name: Guns Don't Kill People, Vampires Do

Dan Keller of Washington, DC was declared the winner with 1.5 victory
points in the Finals of the Baltimore Purge VTES Tournament February 8,
2003. The game went to time after 16-turns. Survivors of the final
(in order) with 0.5VP each, were: Jason Babbit of Manassas, VA; Greg
Williams of Elkton, MD; and Blake Stewart of Hanover, MD. Josh Duffin
of Bethesda, MD made an early exit (ouch!) in the finals after
finishing the preliminaries with the highest ranking.

The tournament was held at Games and Comics and Stuff in Beautiful
Downtown Glen Burnie, MD. Fifteen Methuselahs came from Virginia,
Maryland, Pennsylvania, and Washington, D.C. to play and grab a copy of
the Wind Dance promo card.

Description: Nosferatu Anti-Gun Combat/Toolbox

Comments: I created this deck in response to the growing regularity of
guns in our local (Washington, DC) play environment. The Thrown Gates
were a recent addition to the deck, and I found during the course of
play that the DOtBs were pretty much useless when I could strike at
long range. So I will probably dump the DOtB's. Patagia will probably
go too.

The full discription of the final and Glen Burnie event may be found at

MOTTO: Coming soon to a school board near you.

Notes:

DO NOT SCARE THE TABLE... if at all convenient.

Get out Arika... burn people for fun and profit.
Profit is Minion Tap/Voter Cap. Use the Governs
to bring out friends for Arika. Relies on Zillah's
to outrun Combat Decks to a vampire, who can then be
burned with PTO, and fails utterly to weenie combat,
fast big combat, Camarilla combat, and any of the same
if it's bleed.

This deck came into being preNERFing of 5th Tradition.
I put it together to see if I could still get big
vamp bloat to work. I managed to guess the local
metagame to a T on the sect issues required to play
the deck. Only one deck I saw was all Camarilla.

Changes: Some GtU to Mind Rape, 3 Lucinde 2 Vitel
lots more combat D/bleed D depending on metagame.
I've added all the Awe's I own, more may be good.

Second Guess Corral

It's hardly the most original deck - it's based on Colin Riggs'
winning deck from a recent DC tournament. I just didn't like
the fact that its only defensive option is to go upstream, so
I dropped a few Bum's Rushes and the Computer Hackings and
Arsons, and put in some wakes, bleed bounce/reduction, and light
intercept. It didn't run very consistently, and I think 9 or 10
guns and 9 or 10 Concealed Weapons may be the way to go, as I
had some difficulty getting a gun early on in a couple games.
Some of the consistency problems were likely the result of the
increased number of fight decks and reduced number of bleed decks,
reducing the effectiveness of the defense. The intercept did
prove to be quite handy.

Here's Colin Riggs' deck, for comparison:

Thank to all who showed up! It was great to see the turnout!

Deck Name: CE Firepower

Description: Camarilla Edition version of an older tournament winner
based on Toreadors with Obfuscate.

Disguise out big guns, block and torporize while tasting back blood
for later bloat. The deck is very expensive to play so Parity Shift
with a couple of token stealth-cards is there to help you get back in
business. There's just enough rush to keep players wary of you, but
count on having to spend at least three turns doing nothing while
bloating.

Deck Name: Break Stuff - 1st place Columbus, OH 1-11-03

Description: Switched out a bit of the combat and some of the
reactions for more Computer Hackings. It gave the deck more teeth as
far as pool reduction, however there were too many combats where I had
to exchange "hands for 1" with my opponent.

Description: A simple to use bleed deck, usually bleeds for 2 or 3 and
bloats with Kindred spirits and Blood of the sabbat. The key to
winning is Secure haven. With only one active protected vampire, the

Crusade: Pittsburgh

Jay Kristoff

On 12/14/2002 Ira Fay hosted Crusade: Pittsburgh. Ten methusulaths
participated (Twice the number of participants in Ira's June 2001
tournament). Most of the players were locals, with travelers John
and Tom Mickle (from central PA), and myself (Jay from Columbus OH).
After two rounds and a final, my weenie Auspex deck came out on top.
If anyone who was there wants to recap some of the events of the day;
please do. For now I'll just post the deck.

Jay's weenie Auspex

This deck is based on Jason Dawson's (of Seattle) weenie Auspex deck.
It has been Jay-ified, however. This deck won a four player tournament
in Lansing MI in late October of 2002. I waited to post it until it won
at a larger (10 player) event:) The Sniper Rifles are great against close
combat. I oust people with a hoard of one bleeds or with Fame/Sniper Riffle.
I can afford Club Zombie because my vamps are cheap, and because it's hard
to oust me with all of the reaction cards and blockers.

PS: The day after the tournament my girlfriend and I flew from Pittsburgh to
New Orleans for vacation. Six days later Trent Rezner (of Nine Inch Nails)
was on our flight back to Pittsburgh. I wanted to give him a copy of Majesty
with the Nine Inch Nails quote on it. Unfortunately all I had on me were Cam.
edition Majesties (from the cool prize support from the Pittsburgh tourney)
with the bible quote. So, no Majesty for Trent.

Deck Name: The Best of Both Worlds

Description: What can I say? It's a Malkavian/!Malkavian
Stealth Bleed deck, utilising (in my opinion) the best vampires from
each Clan in terms of bleed potential, without being too large in
it's Crypt capacity. It's not terribly harsh in it's bleed capacity,
only bleeding for 4 at most without any static bleed modifiers. It
also has quite a large capacity for blood gain (although not
excessivly so). Not as much defence as I would normally like in a
bleed deck (which tend to come under combat fire regularly) but the
Lunatics are not known for their combat evasion.

I had a Gargoyles deck in development that had won 4 of 4 casual games,
including one where I lent it to someone, so I figured it was ready for
prime time. It consists of weenie Tremere 12, with Tremere Slaves
operating like the offensive line of an American football team, clearing
the way for the Tremere. As such, I've called it The O-Line. :)
The Tremere are just there for weenie bleeds, with the occasional
Conditioning or J.S. Simmons/Tasha Morgan, as well as Deflections.
The Gargoyles are Pot/For/Flight monsters, and they also handle the
bulk of the defense, with Razor Bats (which have proved surprisingly
handy) and Defenders of the Haven.

Deck Name: Master Madness

Description: Getting as many master-phase-actions as possible. Empty
your vamps and don't be shy to use Rosslers speacial and Information
Highway together. Tap Anson, Golconda Anson (using his special to do so)
and bring a new Anson in play. The Baali can help with additional
master-phase actions.

Try avoiding trickling out your revolts as you'll need two or three in
one go to finish the game.

Golconda is also an offensive card. You're the only one who need large
vampires - the rest of the table can use the pool, especially your predator.

You win with the revolts and you need the massive bloat to make your
Life Boons count.

Even though it will eat on your nerves, to chose when to play without
any vampires at all is definitely what changes a loss to a win. On
average I'll sit close to a third of any given game without any
controlled minions.

Votes are a problem, as is any weenie-predator.

68 Mastercards is a bit low, and I think one each of Obedience,
Wake and Deflection could go. I'd also remove Legendary Vampire.
Replace with three Archon Investigation and one Tension in the
Ranks. Maybe also replace one Information Highway and one The
Barrens with two Dreams of the Sphinx.

Deck Name: When Keebler Elves go bad.

Was supposed to be a bruise and bleed but worked better as a
opportunity power stealth bleed with casual intercept combat.
Reason being is that at almost every table I sat at had more
intimidating combat such as, Grant's Animalism combat deck
and Ulysses' Assamite deck.

Deck Name: Masking the Unblockable

Description: Combining Aching Beauty and Toreador Grand Ball may look
like a strange strategy. Add in Mask of a thousand Faces and it makes
more sense.
Declare non-bleed actions with your unblockable vampire. Play Mask and
finish the action in order to get another unblockable action.
Try playing bleed-modifiers and Aching Beauty/Camarilla Exemplary on
different vampires. Declare bleeds for lots. If blocked, Mask in some
pool-punishment. If bounced, Mask in a lower amount of bleed.
Expensive mastercards go hand in hand with Parity Shift.

Doing this deck again I'd throw out all equipment and add another three
Majesty.

Martin Cubberly

Deck Name: Gunslinging Varmints
Created by: Martin Cubberly, with help from 'The Boyz'

Description: Shoot things. A lot.

Having now played it, I reckon a few things should probably change.
Didn't see any use for the IR Goggles or the Waste Management (the
latter presumably because all the games were so quick, no one got near
the bottom of their library) but I did realise I didn't have enough
Rush. Often I was stuck with no way of getting into combat...
The intercept always came in handy, but without Wakes it meant it
effectively cost me a minion... Wonder if it could stand to loose
these as well...

God Bless the new Concealed Weapon though. What a beauty...

Deck Name: Jacks Back Part 1

Description: Let the anarchy spread...

Completely untested (prior to the tournament), i would remove the
cats guidance and probably change the temptations to two more forms
of corruption. They were great with jack hitting your preys vampires
blood and then burning it when they were down to zero. An
interesting strategy, to just sit there, build up and then whack
jack on the table and just defend. Slightly random IE. Someone across
the table usually bought it from jacks effect, and is definitely
better to wait until your down a player as defending it against 4
other meths is NO FUN(tm).

Derek S. Ray

Deck Name: Yer Mom Don't Block

No real play notes -- this is a relatively stock Giovanni powerbleed.
The AVA was very convenient as nobody ever bothered to take the action to burn
it -- I'd have rather had a second one in the deck than the Mausoleum, which
got discarded a lot. Same with the Venetian Conference, as I was able to play
at least one to good effect in each round, including the final (to torporize a
hunting Suhailah). Many people are familiar with the +1 intercept from superior
Spectral Divination and will plan around it, so being able to have the +2 intercept
coming from Francesca was excellent. (This also let me save the Spectral Divination
for extra stealth.)

Description: Giovanni Seductive Telemarketer filth, tweaked up for an expected
Camarilla-heavy tournament with Venetian Conferences and Gillespi -- also shifted
around to be more Deflection-proof with no Conditionings and mostly
Scouting Mission/Bondings.

Deck Name: Rutor's Followers

Some bleed, some bloat and plenty of stealth. If things are going well
summon Qufur or Samat and Rutor them. If not, summon Hesha, load up
with Blood Dolls, the razor and a secure haven and survive until
things get better. Amam and Jake are great to throw in front of rush
combat. Plus it's ok if a few vamps go to torpor because you can
bring them out easily with humanitas and catacombs. Nice if you can
get either on a secured vamp early. Bloat is pretty much the only
defence against votes and bleed but with a small library the deck
moves quickly and you can be gaining 3-4 pool a turn before other
players become threatening.

Gabrin's Paradox
Description: Use Sense Dep on your predator to buy you breathing room.
If you prey's actions gain him pool (votes + voter captivation, fifth
tradition) or he rushes backwards, then sense dep him too if you can.
Try to wait until someone is ousted before you play Week of Nightmares
(Store it in an Annex until then). Playing the waiting game can be
effective. Oh yeah, always get Lazar first if you draw him in your
opening crypt. If your prey is playing big vampires he will definitely
be worth it. (Once, on turn 2, I had Lazar bleed with computer hacking,
Freak Drive, and steal one from my prey's big vampire)

Would drop Red Herring, Ignis Fatuus, Rapid Healing. Maybe could use
another Draba, another Sensory Deprivation. Clan Impersonation or Golconda
would be useful/funny ways to save or sacrifice Gabrin before the last
Nightmare counter is placed. Secure Haven might be a good addition to
protect Gabrin from rushes.

Well my luck continued on Friday at Origins this year. My other
Gangrel deck won that tournament. This deck is a beefed up version
of my Can I Wear This Jacket? deck that I used to win the Newark OH
storyline event www.geocities.com/vtesresults/semsith/newarkOH.htm)
I guess that the new beef comes from more combat options and more
damaging votes. Because the Gangrel are no longer in the Cam., I am
not sure how much longer I will be allowed to play decks like these.
It certainly was fun to play on Friday.

I just got home from an amazing first day at Origins. I was able to
eak out a tournament victory with my Mirembe Rides Again deck. 25
meths played in this event. 4 of the 5 finalists were from Ohio, the
other was Halcyan2 who is from somewhere in Illinois.
I'm sure details on this and the other events will follow. It's

Deck Name: "The Gun is My Brush, Your Face is My Canvas"

Description: Bloat up and build a horde of low-caps
plus Anneke or Anson. Give guns to the ones with Celerity.
Swarm and destroy.

The offense isn't as fast as other tourney decks, but
once it gets rolling it has pretty strong momentum.
Small caps with guns and superior Auspex can run a
tight defense to allow time for that longer build-up.

Deck Name: This deck will self destruct in 4 seconds...
Created by: Jon Cooper - jon.cooper@damovo.com

I would probably drop the strained vitae supply, a hunting ground
(maybe both), the arcane library and possibly the Info Highway.
Maybe replace with 1-2 more cryptic missions or bit more bleed.
Possibly another embrace or two? Have tried using Rastafarian ghoul
but is too pricy and too fragile.

Deck: Monster's Ball

I've had a very good record with this deck in casual games, and now in a
tournament. Its fairly straightforward, but a good bit of R&D went into
testing and tuning it. Intercept combat. A nice layered defense of solid
intercept (with an option to KO), light bounce, and Greta, mostly keeps
you out of trouble.

The Palla Grandes, with maybe help from Fame, give you a kicker to swoop
in on your prey, and oust (maybe with Aire as the closer). The deck has
enough juice to do this twice, but kind of runs out of ousting power after
that. But, typically, its just enough to win the table.

I started thinking about this deck after having my sneaky decks shut down
by intercept monsters in a few tournaments. Kind of -- If you can't beat
them, join them. Then give them a beating.

Tony Smith

Deck Name: You die, we win.
Created by: Tony 'literary Thug' Smith, with a bit of creative inspiration from Jon Cooper.

Didn't have too many problems on the day and the combination of bone
crunching combat and 2nd tradition seemed to handle most things. A
little slow getting the first point in the final, which nearly
scuppered my plans.

The first version of this had 4 Don Cruez. I later decided that using
a smaller crypt and another Protean master was probably the way to go.
I may even drop the Dons to 2 and add a second Beast. I usually went
for either Theo or Volker first, on the basis that the Don was just
too big. Although, to be fair, his maneuver did save me a couple of
times against the Wookie's assamites.

Not much in the way of subtlety, but hey, burning vampires is fun.

Remember kids, don't do drugs.

"Never smile at a crocodile"

supposed to refill for Tap/Doll with Heidelberg, though the threat of that existed more than the reality...

I've been playing a lot more 80-card decks than 90 lately; none of
my non-rush-combat decks seem to run out of cards very often at all
even at 80.

Form of Corruption is great, especially if it makes your prey
afraid to bleed too much and keeps him from ousting. It seems to
be often better to hang on to your Form until after your initial
prey is ousted and then steal one of your (former) grandprey's
vamps with it; it's a big boost on your way to (trying to) get
that second oust.

This deck is actually exactly how I designed it on paper before
ever playing it, except that I switched a Hesha Ruhadze for a
second Kephamos after writing it down (but still before playing
it). Funny because my whole goal in the two weeks before the
tournament was to come up with a decent deck and have time to
tweak it before the event, but the one I ended up wanting to
play didn't need any tweaking (at least from the couple games
I'd tried it in beforehand).

John Bell

Deck Name: Bell's Bruise, Bleed, and Bloat Brujah

Description: I played nearly an identical version of this deck in the
storyline tournament at Anderson, IN. Major change from that deck was
I replaced Francois Villion with Anneke, with the idea of being able
to 2nd Tradition anywhere, she was too appealing to include in this

This deck is more along the "toolbox"-ish build than I usually prefer,
but it mainly relies on other Methuselahs thinking it is a dedicated
combat deck. For that reason alone I threw in a solitary Immortal
Grapple to assure people that I *might* have more in there.

Other than the Deflections, probably the game breaking card in the
deck is the Judgement: Camarilla Segregation. It never hit the table
during this tournament, but has proven in the past to be the
difference for me several times, especially when the table comes down
to 2 Methuselahs.

Deck Name: The Turd

A real abomination of a deck, constructed initially taking advantage
of Anneke's brilliant special to control the table but evolving into
something much nastier. Interestingly I only had to use her special
twice on the day and both of those times were in the final and saved
VP's from dropping to someone else (not an acceptable situation:o).
A evil VP sniper of a deck that puts the table under constant
pressure and drops atom bombs with alarming regularity. The sleazy
2nd trad / Obedience (hmmm I do like the picture on Sabbat
Obedience:o))) / Majesty combo allows you to stay untapped and
block loads of actions. In the second round I was under serious
pressure from Matt Stockton's weenie Pre deck and was pleased with the
constant ability to block 5/6/7 weenies a turn whilst laying down the
master phase bombs.

Not a fantastic deck by any means. This was the first time I had
played with it, though it was partly based on Bernie B's successful
Origins deck last year. Take out the Freak Drives, Extortions, Bleed
permanents for a better cycling deck I think...

Go-Go-Goratrix

Description: Rush combat/intercept combat hybrid, taking advantage of
Goratrix's built-in strike, and superior Animalism and Dominate.
Payload comes from Goratrix's +1 bleed, and some Governs (used
typically for bringing out more minions). Cheap supporting minions
provide heavy Auspex defense and extra bleeding, and the 5-caps help
with both defense and protecting Goratrix.

Winning Deck Name: Of Ghastly Dreams (best safety lies in fear)
Description: Clearly toolbox, the core is "intercept". This deck had
been doing well in our casual games, so with some tuning, I thought it
might be an interesting candidate for playing in a tournament. After
tuning, I goldfished a bit and realized just how many of the actions
are at zero stealth. The lack of stealth remains a problem. Should
pull Fleecing, an Overload, and probably the Patshivs.
Pseudo-Blindness was a metagame guess that didn't work particularly
well (in that I discarded all of them). The MVP was Mass Reality;
should be more than one.

Rush'n'crush for offense; Rush'n'crush for defense. The name of this
deck comes from the fact that Pete Venters and L.A. Williams designed
the majority of the artwork contained herein. Oh, and I mustn't

Deck Name: I Block, You Die:)

Central Comic Headquarters (CCHQ) was the site where 30 players
gathered to battle it out for High Stakes supremacy. After 3 grueling
rounds of preliminary bloodshed, 5 methuselahs came out on top:

1. Nikos (9VP, 3VP in final) - Gangrel Intercept
2. Kensai (9VP, 1VP in final) - Setite Politics
3. Danz (8VP, 1VP in final) - Weenie Animalism Bleed+Combat
4. Johann (6.5VP) - Ahrimanes Intercept
5. Jhun (6VP) - Lasombra Toolbox

After the dust has settled from a most exciting final round, it was
Nikos' Gangrels who came out victorious. Here's his deck:

The Nosferatu Hate You! (version 6.0)

The Delaying Tactics was my total prayer card, put in to hopefully avoid
getting Dramatic Upheavaled and having my VP stolen, but I never actually
played it this tournament. The Computer Hackings were a fairly recent
addition, and they were nothing but good--they sped up my ability to bleed,
often doubled as a Rush action, and could always be cycled. I'm thinking
about taking out the last two Decapitates for 2 more Hackings. And the Paul
DeCarlo? Yeah, sure he is just another 2 cap with pot, but between the hot
chick, cool suit, and looking like John Cale, he added nothing but class to
my deck.

This is the exact deck I used during the tourny, there were some
changes from the normal version as I'm experimenting with it some.
The beauty of this deck is you can bleed anyone(gaining pool) and
reverse alot, thus even with little or no votes(5 max) or combat you
can still have a say in whats going on. In this Tournament, the
second qualifing round and the final round I back bled almost the
whole time.

"Unwholesome"

Was supposed to have 4 Effective Managements making 90
but I accidentally put them in the wrong deck. I think
it would've been *much* better with them in - they make
the Bonds work a lot better. Still worked just well
enough, I guess.

hrmm...*grin* i had a great time at the tourney. getting revenge on
Cameron's slaughterhouse deck was keen. actually, the most fun was
seeing how many times a game i could get away with saying Reg Driscol,
Malkavian Bitch *grin* that and the abundant snacks, oh and the
packers losing, and well... it was just a lot of fun.

ahh... hrmm... i've never posted a deck here before, so... right.
comments are welcome and appriciated, except about the double Korah,
that is in no way my fault... she cloned herself when i wasn't lookin'.

I put this deck together seven years ago. Its pure cheese.
I've tweaked it over the years, but I haven't played it.
Looking you will notice that there is no blood production.
Your prey IS your blood production.
It's balls to the wall stealth bleed at it's finest.

"tzimisce - go: counterspell deck"

special thanks to jay kristoff, for his deck on thelasombra's site,
which was the inspiration for this one, and to david d'avila-anderson,
for his incredible articles on the subject of intercept-combat decks...
-- i've been playing this deck for over a year now, in various forms,
but it wasn't until bloodlines and 'read the winds' that i was able to
really get it off the ground... the raw power and efficiency of that
one card opened up so many card slots, which i was able to dedicate to
forward pressure, without compromising my ability to fend off 4-on-1
onslaughts turn after turn...
-- in light of the lessons i learned at this tournament, i think i'll
need to change the 2 anarch revolt to either 2 more smiling jack, or 2
war ghoul... the anarch revolts organize the table against me too much,
and turn my cross-table buddies into enemies... with smiling jack, they
at least think twice before coming at me... removing 2 revolts also
allows me to drop 2 of the eagle's sight, so maybe i'd go with 3 smiling
jack, 3 war ghoul, and exchange the femur of toomler for one more
revenant...
-- i'm seriously considering swapping out the duplicate caliban in the
crypt for either goratrix, matteus, omaya, or [most likely] jost
werner... the duplicate crypt draw doesn't really hurt me much, but
having jost's inherent stealth might make a big difference in some
games...

Force of Will/Daring the Dawn your prey out of existence. Use the many
Minion Taps for pool gain and refill vamps with Fifth Traditions - which make
for a great pre-Force of Will action. The Second Traditions are there to
try and protect the Hearts, but it's not desperate if they go, just tool up
with another one.

Crypt worked well, I don't think I'd change anything. Corine was one of the mainstays, the +1 strength is really useful.

Masters were ok as well. Heidelburg was not as useful as I'd thought
it would be, but I rarely got it out before endgame. Pb: Montreal gave
me 15+ pool in final (played it on first turn, it was successfully
fetched only once by other players and I got it back immediately).

Meat Hooks were not as useful as I'd imagined; quite a bit of
IGs/maneuvers/S:CEs/dodges in the games. Perhaps replace one
with another Femur (never saw the one in time to equip with it)
and the other with Aid from Bats or something... Sixth intercept
retainer would be nice (in place of Crows), but I don't have it.

Quite nice, except that I once fed my only source of permanent
intercept to one and missed it quite a bit. Also opposing decks
unfairly did not stay still to be hit; some more Traps would
have been useful.

Discarded Malleable Visage all the times I drew it, so it might
be a candidate for replacement. Changelings were useful every
time I drew them.

Reactions worked well. No serious hand jams and even cross-table
vote decks did listen to my comments on acceptable voting
parameters.:-) Comment from prey: "Just _how_ much of that deck
is reaction cards?"

Middling to good. Inner Essences and BoA could perhaps be replaced
with something more useful; some presses would be nice. Got a less-than-
nice lesson on that by 1st round prey, who played a Tremere second
round combat deck...

Caleb said his goal is simple. Get 7 Raptors and Eternal Vigilance on Lambach,
and then grind everything into the dirt. Blood recursion keeps him and Lambach
alive while Smiling Jack wrecks house. It helped that the final was untimed.
It lasted 3 hours 15 minutes (yeesh!). Caleb said he would improve the
deck by adding another Lambach (in place of Anson) and some Eagle Sights.

Deck Name: Omaya

Description: Your aim is to get last 3VP on the table , agitate the
table to slow things down so you can build up your force , bring out
at least four minions and try to avoid pool loss. Be nice to your
predator and only block him , do not kill his vampires unless it's
necessary, doing so you can avoid his last spite when he will be dying.
Don't let your prey gain pool if it is possible and bleed for a lot.
Use eagle's sights only as an emergency intercept, otherwise
reserve it for cross table threats (or ousting bleed of your prey).

I had seen on Lasombra's tournament winning decks page Johnny Tullner's
deck that won Fleecing the Gaje, held in Washington, D.C. I really like his
use of four Anarch Troublemaker. In Johnny's comments on the deck he wrote
"* Using an Anarch Troublemaker and then playing one is an excellent
tactic." Yes Johnny, it is. I decided to try to make room for my four
A.T.s. I was only able to fit three in, and in doing so I ended up with too
many master cards in the deck. Well, I wouldn't be writing this if I
didn't win, so I guess it couldn't have been that bad.

Deck Name: The Eurobrujah know what you did last summer...

Description: Long range cel / pot workout with Thoughts Betrayed
stopping any nastiness...

Sucks against damage prevention, and dies vs Drawing out the Beast. It
also has limited blood gen - but once you have 2 vampires up, you are
usually safe. Other than that, it has great card flow, superb handling
and really does the business. Not a great deck, or original, but my
best effort in the last few months.

Notes:

1) Trioles Revenge is in there just because I have been against a lot
of Ventrue decks lately. I did have Graverobbing in there, which I
will probably revert to at some stage.

2) The 44s are key permenants in the endame - as borne out earlier.

3) NO HUNTING GROUND! You don't need it - steal the ineveitable Rack.
Interesting that I hunted only once with one vampire all day!

4) Best card for flow... ever - Infernal Pursuit (sup)! Can be played
any time in combat and really clears a hand jam.

5) Only 2 rares in the deck! You don't need a horde of pricey rares to
win.

Crusade: Lisbon

Deck Name: Gangrel say goodbye to the Camarilla!

Type: Vote/Bloat

The deck strength resides on the vampires titles. The big ones can be
brought faster boosted by Ingrid's ability, Dreams of the Sphinx, Powerbase:Montreal and
especially Zillah's Valley. Ramona's ability is very useful especially if she runs out of
blood after playing some Protean action modifiers.

- Zillah's Valley is very useful to control faster big vampires and in the mid-game it makes a great combo with Parity Shift. ;)
- Creepshow Casino is very useful to political actions, to hunt, ...
- Powerbase:Montreal is a good way to place an additional blood on an uncontrolled vampire with nmo cost. The Second Traditions never get jammed on hand for long periods... and it can be combined with Ecoterrorists for a blood cow!
- Elysium:Palace of Versailles helps adding some votes.
- Visit From The Capuchin is very very good, and it has a similar effect as Dreams of the Sphynx on card advantage.
- Fifth Traditions are a great blood source combined with Minion Tap for bloat.
- Judgement:Camarilla Segregation are useful and most of the times other players burn vampires in torpor.
- Masochisms help paying some cards costs like Earth Control and Rapid Change. It can be combined with Flesh of Marble.
- Ablative Skin is a add-on, just in case, to prevent some extra damage.
- Rapid Change sometimes is useful to end combat.
- Closed Session helps against the Lasombra and other Sabbat votes against.
- Parity Shifts help control the table. Can be combined with Zillah's Valley to meet the pool requirements during the turn it is played.
- Banishments are easy to play on most vampires since the titled Gangrels are high capacity.
- Corruption's Purge are playable on all Setite at once, burning 2 blood and sending them to torpor if they don't have 2 blood to burn. Useful it your predator has plenty of Followers of Set.
- Protect Thine Own helps burning some weenie non-Camarilla vampires.
- Flesh of Marble almost kill Potence decks, and if the damage is aggravated it can be combined with Skin of Night. The single point of damage "feeds" the Masochism.
- Second Tradition are a good example how a card justifies the use of bigger titled Camarilla vampires. Wake, untap, with +2 intercept is very good on a single card. Without this card, this deck almost got no real effective defense without changing other cards and its proportions.

Deck Name: Jack's War Ghoul Protection Service

Description: Fairly standard Tzimischeese intercept deck with long-term goals in
mind. Jack's War Ghoul protection service is your key to victory.
Props to Jay Kristoff for helping me master the Tzimisce

In retrospect, I think I would change this crypt by removing the 2 Dragos for 2
more Little Tailor. Even when I saw Dragos, I never *wanted* to bring him out,
and Little Tailor bringing out Tatu for a total of 2 pool (a free Revenant and a
2-pool Tatu) is simply ridiculous. (Another variant would be 4 Little Tailor, 4
Meshenka, 4 Sascha, although I don't know how this would work. I'm sure it
would be fine.)

Note that if you're going to play AoR in a deck like this, you must have 3 (or
more in a larger deck) as you will probably be forced to let it be removed
eventually, but you want to have one around constantly as it and Jack are your
primary sources of damage.

I would probably take out 2 Eagle's Sight for an extra Cat's and an extra FA,
since they are so critical to the deck. The power of Big Eye is simply amazing.

After I played the first BotD, people kept asking me *every combat* if I had
another BotD. I always told them "Yes, but it doesn't need to be played right
now" and just smiled. When this deck was larger, it had more BotD, but when I
decided the Atlanta deck-building philosophy was the correct and true path, I
had to cut SOMETHING to get to 75, and 6 BotD went bye-bye. You really only
need these for decks like Dave's S&B, who rely on getting away via maneuvers, so
you don't need more than a couple.

I used to think Nephandus or the Renegade Garou was the best ally. I was
mistaken. Tatu wins games.

As you can see, the deck really does only one thing -- get out Smiling Jack, and
protect him until it doesn't matter any more. This is about the 4th version of
this deck I have made, and the first one to almost entirely abandon pool gain.
Several people have made what I call the "pool gain" version of this deck, as
did James Hamblin and I last year after Sabbat War came out. The Gangrel are
also easily played with a deck of this type. Jay Kristoff won an Ohio
tournament with his version (http://www.vekn.fr/decks/twd.htm#jaykic),
which is more or less a master-heavy "pool gain" version.

Scourge of El Segundo

"The Waiting"

This is the first time I've ever run this deck or anything like it. I
attempted to build a deck that could survive long enough in a tournament
environment in order to make a deal or two and then finish off my prey
and maybe my grand prey in one huge flurry. Based on my
previous tournament experience I figured I'd face alot of bleed and vote
and not much rush/combat that didn't feature IG (in which case
I'd be screwed anyway), hence the lack of combat cards. The idea is to
generate enough blood to keep your pool away from any huge
votes or bleeds, Sudden or DI anything that's gonna hurt you real bad,
try not to piss off the D-attackers, let your predator bleed your
prey and wait for the moment to strike.

The crypt features 7 votes and plenty of Dominate for those
Deflections. Plus with 42 master cards out of 90 total, Anson is a MUST.
Ulugh and Cardano are the Day Op finishers and Muaziz is versatility.
You must be VERY patient playing this deck, you can't really go
forward until you're ready to commit everything for the kill. I tried
to rifle through the deck as quickly as possible (Storage
Annex/Ulugh/Parthenon) and get the cards I need for the finisher locked
in the annexes. All you're looking for is to get your prey down
to 7 pool, then send Muaziz in to knock out any stoppers with a
Revelations and then go for it! Ultimately this is proof that a deck
doesn't have to be some kind of "nasty creature" to win a tourney.

At long last, the deck that won at Fleecing the Gaje,
held in Washington, D.C. on October 20, 2001,
presented in its entirety and with comments from the
winning player, Mr. Johnny Tullner of Hampton, VA:

Weenies That Bleed

(22)



* I spent long hours tuning this deck to mathematical perfection.
* Using an Anarch Troublemaker and then playing one is an excellent tactic.
* Hand jam is the biggest problem, but usually the only thing to discard is
locations you already have out.
* Tribute to the Master is almost never used. It's there for emergencies.
* There are 4 rares, 21 uncommons, and 56 commons. I love the balance of
Jyhad that does not rely on rarity.
* The deck will usually sweep. Expect the whole table to come after you.
* My friends don't let me play this against them, and I don't blame them.

Rémy Auclair

Deck Name: Shadowrun

The strength of the deck is the Spying Mission, even if it does only 3
with 2 actions. Temptation were very useful and so was the Enticement.
I used Enticement 2 times to oust my preys who thought that I was only
going to bleed them for 1. I was lucky not to meet too many combat
decks but I manage to oust my prey even with 2 Gangrel decks against
me at the table. I played my first succesful Dismemberment of Osiris
on Ambrosio Luis Moncada, it's a very strong card (to put in every
Setite deck). Maybe more Marked Path and less MotF. The "reduce
bleed" side of the deck was "very" useful ; with Lalitha and Julius.

Scourge of El Segundo
"A" vote deck

This is a modification of my earlier deck that featured Anson and Rake with
Natasha. I figured too many people would use Anson in a tournament setting,
so I switched. Actually, Arika is simply better for my purposes.
The idea is rather simple, limit the blood supply, then wait until you can
kill your prey with a couple of stealthy votes and whack the rest of the
table at the same time. This is principally a weenie stomper.
There is precious little defense, save the Redirections and Obedience. I
figured if I was facing rush combat then IG would wipe out my Majesties
anyway. I was right! But in hindsight I do regret not including some
Rolling with the Punches. Not a single intercept card and I don't think
that's a problem. Unless you're stealthily D-attacking me, I don't care what
you do, just bring out more minions please.
Big time blood recursion with the Taps and Caps.
The main problem with getting the votes off is cancellation and Delaying
Tactics. Shrug. Three "finisher" cards with the Day Ops and the Air.

Tournament Notes
Robert Acevedo was my bane all day. He was playing
Ventrue Ante with Quinton AND Demonstration. Ugh!

Game #1, Robert was my prey and he got his combo out
quick, shutting down my votes. Marcos was my predator with a Beast/Rush
deck. He killed Arika the turn after I brought her out and that was about
that. I held on to outlive Marcos; moral victory. Robert swept.

Game #2 and now Robert is my predator and Marcos is
my prey. Sigh! Here we go again. Luckily I made a deal with Marcos that I
wouldn't bleed him if he didn't attack me. (Not bleeding your prey? Talk
about suicide!) I figured I'd have my hands full with Robert's bleeds anyway.
Fortunately Larry's weenie bleeder took Robert out with a stealthy 7
bleed, Go Peter Blaine! That got Quinton off of my back and the next turn I
called an Ancilla and Banished the Beast. Marcos attacked me, breaking
our deal, so I deflected Larry's next big bleed and then bled out Marcos.
Two Ancillas later, Larry's weenies had betrayed him and what was left of his
pool.

Final: I was seeded 4th and Julien chose me as his
prey. I don't know if he knew what my deck did, but he was playing Dramatic
Upheaval, so it didn't matter much anyway. I think he mostly chose to have
Cary for his predator because he was the only non-bleeder at the table.
Larry ousted Cary very quickly and I was at Robert's mercy even though he was
my prey, because that accursed Quinton was out again. Larry made a deal to
back off of Julien until Robert and I were dead. Oops. Robert and I then
conspired to vote Larry out and I figured I'd get second if Robert could
bleed out Julien and then roll for me. Surprise, surprise. Julien was not
only resilient, he outgained Robert and Hostiled Quinton. Robert was getting
low on pool, so he had to let him go. I hadn't gone below 15 that game so I
jumped in and bid 8 for Quinton. That kinda cinched it. Robert couldn't
kill Julien with only two minions so I agreed to let Julien withdraw if he
backed off me until I killed Robert. (I HATE when these deals switch
around!) Anyway, Robert got down to 3 pool with one minion and I had to
resort to calling three Anarchist Uprisings to kill him so he couldn't
deflect a bleed. Julien withdrew and took second, Robert took third. When
was the last time someone won a final as the only guy with 2VP? Weird
tourney, where were the Malks?

Deck Name: 'What I learned at the National Championship'...

or 'Yes I can block every action'

Play anarch revolt. Block all actions that damage anyone, you want to
make sure that the anarch's do their damage in order so everyone is
ousted in sequence. Always bring out Anneke for her built in eagle
sight, then 2nd Tradition/Obedience everyone. Also 1st Tradition so
people have to pay even more to take a turn..you don't need them just
block. Minion tap/5th Tradition for pool gain.

Deck idea came from my first round at the nationals where Bernie B.
was playing his ultra sucky "All 6 traditions" deck. The 1st
tradition he played combined with someone elses anarch revolt killed
everyone on the table. Usually makes for a fast game, you kill or die
quickly.

Aisling and Hannigan

the idea of the deck is to build up and prevent pool loss. due to magic of
the smith it is fairly versatile and i can usually get the ressources i need
at the moment. after a while i have 4 or 5 vampires in play and my prey is
an easy kill because she could not build up.

Deck: Rough Night at the Palla Grande

Playing the deck: Never discard any of the 12 kill cards. Counter
Blood gain with the Suddens. Use Revelations to remove Deflections or
blood gain from your prey's hand as the first action per turn if
possible. Depending on the deck use a Revelations about 1 in 3 turns.
Get someone with superior Obfuscate quite quickly to cloak actions.
Remember that, largely, you suck at combat. Kill Mr. Winthrop or
Spys/Revenants at range if possible.

Could probably do with a Bomb instead of a Patronage, if I was to play
it again.

Rob Treasure

Deck Name: EuroBrujah 2001

It's a reworked version of the old classic, built to handle most
threats but a field of pure focus would not be the best. Other than
my various Ventrue creations and the retired LoP. deck it is probably
the one that I have spent most time over the years tweaking and analysing.
Interestingly it is also the deck that I have scored the least VP's (1)
with in a tourney with ? Metagames hey !!

It tackles most common ‘tourney standard' decks very well and slugs it
out with all but pure Gangrel Potence and Tzimisce Scorpion Sting/Blood
of Acid. Got to be wary of Kiss of Ra and Hostile Takeover, they are
really the only two things that really worry it consistently.

I did have another Sudden Reversal and 2 Leathers in up to a few minutes
before the tourney but traded them out for the Guardian Angel,
another Disarm and a 7th Second Tradition.

The Guardian Angel was amazingly useful and came out in most of the rounds,
the 7th Second was exactly the right amount on the day. Very happy with the
decks performance, it had enough whack to take out Beast and friends in a
pure combat deck and was ‘focussed' enough to apply consistent pressure on
my prey all the time.

Deck Name: Whole Lotta Faces

Description: The deck was created rather quickly to take advantage of the
"multiple action modifiers of the same type" loophole found in Mask 1k. The
idea was to use Mask 1k to be able to play multiple Command of the Beast on the
same action. Also, Mask is easy enough to cycle if they decide not to block me
so I can cycle readily.

I think the concept is strong but the execution really isn't good at all. The
deck was never playtested and wasn't finished until a few minutes before the
event started. It is missing Master Cards and has too few Govern bleeds and a
number of other things I'd tweak. The deck also jams massively on stealth. In
the prelims I had Anarch decks at my tables and the 4 cap vampires and some
quick bleeds helped me oust my preys. In the finals, I was fortunate enough to
have the end-game come down to Jason Dawson and myself. Jason was playing a
heavy heavy Auspex intercept deck. Jason's hearty block attempts at 4-6
intercept were just what my over-stealthed deck needed to cycle for the bleed
cards. It was fate.

https://groups.google.com/g/rec.games.trading-cards.jyhad/c/ZLzYoNmk3k0

The prelims were pretty nasty. I abused the crap out of the Succubus
Club. The first table I ended up using it to save myself from dying 3
different times. After paying my predator 1 pool to "borrow" her
rats, I had the set up to oust Steve Bucy with a Perfect
Clarity/Daring Dawn bleed. This burned Spiro and left me with no
minions. I worked a deal with Nat Hammond to help oust my predator.
The Succubus Club came in really handy letting me offer Nat and myself
unlimited card cycling using Succubus to trade the Elder Library back
and forth.

I don't remember much from the second round, except that Succubus came
in abusively helpful once again by being able to constantly trade
Milicent Smith back to myself at the begining of every turn. This
time Nat Hammond got to be on the recieving end of that horrible
succubus club card.

The Final had the following seating order:

#1 Brad Ward - Spiridonas Soul Gem/Perfect Clarity/Daring Dawn
#2 John Amato - Black Cat, Celerity Equipment !Brujah/Brujah
#3 Paul Johnson - ???
#4 Jason Dawson - Anarch Revolt Weenie Dominate/Bleed/Bleed Bouncer
#5 ??? -

Attention first went to Jason who had the Anarch heavy bleed
Deflection deck. Paul and Jason's prey (don't recall who)
really tried to put the hurt on Jason. I was the only one with votes
on the table. Jason, seeing his demise offered to help me however he
could if I would vote to keep his Anarchs in play while he ousts his
prey. My prey (John) was putty in my hands, having neither bleed
bounce, intercept nor stealth. Jason's prey fell first followed
by Paul Johnson. I then ousted John Amato and Jason followed through
with his deal and rolled over. The game was over in about an hour or
less thanks to the Anarch Revolts.

Note: The deck is only less than 90 cards because I had limited
number of Perfect Clarity. I plan to increase it to 90 as I acquire
more.

Deck Name: Dragon Con 2001 Ventrue

Description: I built this deck the morning of the tournament because
I had not seen any Ventrue decks the night before and I wanted to play
one. I think that the Ventrue are (just by a small margin) the strongest
clan in the game but I hate to contest Vampires all day so I avoid
playing them too much. The deck is pretty basic. I do not normally
use Queen Anne unless I am working the Dominate angle. I also really
wanted to use Kiss of Ra and Seduction to screw with the intercept
decks. It really worked. I got to Kiss Meshenka with a Revenant and
then Seduce Dragos when I grave robbed. I also got to grave rob Ulugh
Beg and an one-armed Basil (It was a card cycle thing). I had Jan out
in two games, which I think screwed with a lot of people's minds. He
was also able to bleed for 2 most every turn due to my prey being scared
of his Kiss of Ra. The deck got 4, 2.5 and 4 (a sweep) VPs and then 2.5VP
in the Finals. I never got near the end of my library so I would cut out
15 cards (Deflect, Con Ag, Club Z, Closed Session, Bonding, B.O. WwEF,
2 x Voter Cap, SoS, Majesty, Obedience, Govern and Freak Drive) and I
would swap the Queen for a second Emerson. A valuable lesson I learned
playing in this tourney is that Emerson can tell that mad rusher, Theo
Bell, to have a seat and try again next turn. There was a Theo deck at
two of the table I played at. This deck is not that strong in offence so
I had to play careful and do a lot of table talking. The only deals I made
regarding VPs took place in the finals and I only had to follow through on
one of them. The other one was a "I will let you oust him if you then roll
over" deal but my prey was unable to complete his end of the deal so he
had to go and I had to do the oust myself.

Deck Name: All ahead full...

Description: Stealth Bleed

Keep it simple. Get out a bleeder as quick as you can and keep bleeding.
If you bring out a vampire and you are bleed, bounce the bleed.
If you get bounced and you are going to take out someone elses prey play
Spying Mission. Suddens are for minion taps or very bad for you masters.
Pranks are to keep other prey in the game by giving them pool or to slow the
game/gain pool on early turns. Fear of mekhet was tossed in moments before I
left for gencon as I thought there might be some big bad bloat decks.

well... that was the idea... things went sour when Robyn put out a war ghoul
turn 3 in the first round and I had to gain pool like mad for many turns as
I made the deal not to bleed her if she just didn't come my way with the war
ghoul over and over. Govern back and suck it off/prank saved me from the 4+
bleed a turn I was taking till I thought I might be able to take her out in
one turn and didn't make the deal. I think I got my max stealth action of 7
to get the bleed in and I actually felt bad about it. Robyn should have won
that game in my opinion if she had wanted to pound on the poor guy who had
only played 2 games in his life that was her prey.

The final was pure seating as Jeff (the Lasombra) knows. All in all luck
won the day for me more than anything. Took 19VP thursday and 0 friday
mostly due to bad play by me and a bit of bad luck as well.

Tournament
Watford, England
July 28th 2001
Tony Smith

Deck: Notaweeniedominatedeck version III

The idea is to hit the ground running. Either use
superior Govern to pull out your vamps for 1 pool, and
assault once a huge force is amassed. Or bleed like
shit off a shovel from the first turn. Either way it
often takes out multiply preys in a turn. If it's
running well, and your prey has no Deflections, it
should clean then out in about 4 turns.
Little combat defense but letting a few die to get
through with the one 6 point bleed is often the way to
go
Cheesy as hell, but funny as fuck.

Ivory Bow (didn't see it all day, may need to come
out)

The 2 vamps in the crypt with superior Dominate were a
last minute thing. They can't use the Governs at
superior, but the inclusion allowed me to cut the
number of dom masters and makes it run a little
quicker if they are in the opening crypt. I found that
by using 4 caps as opposed to the normal dom weenies,
I got all the benefits of a weenie deck, but with a
few less disadvantages.

This is *my* Toolbox
by Ethan Burrow

The idea was to vote/bloat with Voter Captivations acting as 5th Traditions,
since the Sabbat can't obviously play 5th Tradition. Most other cards in the
deck were either single shot utilitarian or very versatile in keeping with my
current trend of toolboxing. You may note that a lot of the cards have
multiple uses.

Enchant Kindred can serve 3 purposes; speed up influencing, bleed, or pool
gain. All the intercept cards doubled as bleed bounce, so I could defend
against many deck types.

I also wanted to include enough combat defense that I might be able to survive
a rush deck long enough to grab 1VP.

The fact that there are only 12 masters was purely coincidental, and had
nothing to do with Atlanta <g>.

Deck Name: 2k1.6.03 v0.6 (Edit)


The idea behind the deck is simple:
keep yourself alive, almost indefinitely, by bloating like crazy
from the Blood Dolls / Hungry Coyote combination, supplemented by
Govern the Unaligned and Scouting Mission at superior. After you
have a suitable number of minions up and your prey is low enough
in pool (less than twelve, heh), steamroll your prey with stealthed
+2/+1 bleeds from your four or five minions. Machiavelli sums it
up nicely: "And here we must observe that men must either be
flattered or crushed; for they will revenge themselves for slight
wrongs; whilst for grave ones they cannot. The injury, therefore,
that you do a man should be such that you need not fear for revenge."

The weak spots of this deck, as with most focused decks, are numerous.
The lack of intercept, with the exception of Angelica, is a major sore
spot, which actually cost me two victory points in the final. Should
anyone seek to replicate this deck, I suggest substituting a number
of intercept cards in for the Redirections. A heavy-duty rush-combat
deck with Immortal Grapple would tear this deck to shreds, as the
maneuvers are light. Depending on your local metagame, replacement
of a number of Shadow Step for Arms of the Abyss may be in order.
The addition of a Power Structure, to defend against vote-based decks,
would also benefit the deck greatly as it will often finish the game
with four-plus minions.

Bloodsiege: Mannheim
Mannheim, Germany
March 11th 2001
Christoph Hardebusch

The deck won the 'Blood-Siege Mannheim' on the 11.03.2001. There were about
20 participants from all over germany. Unfortunately, the VteS-Coordinator
made some mistake with the renting of the room, so we had to leave too early
to do 3 preliminary rounds, which forced us to go for 2 instead. I am not
quite sure, but I think the tournament results did not go into the ranking
because of that. Which is quite bad, because the deck won the first table,
only one other deck got a victory point. It swept the second table and went
into the final with 9 victory points from 2 games. The final hang on a
thread for a round or two, but then the game went my way and my deck swept
that table, too.

Carpe Jugulum.

The Laptops, AI, Sudden and Rumor Mill were late additions to the
deck, the AI and Sudden mainly from my last meeting with Barney. The
Rumor Mill was the most valuable though. It made several bleeders
think twice over the day as well as giving me something nice to offer
other people apart from heads being kicked in.

Deck Name: WeePee Bleed 101

Description: Concept and playstyle are simple, BLEEEEED!

Process: Try to influence 3-4 vampires out in the
same turn, unless you're being no-stealth bleed for
a bunch early. Pentex that big vampire your prey
first influences after you've got your critters in a
line. Attempt to bleed with enhancement. Use S:CE to
tap out any Wakey blockers. Repeat process lots of times,
using Propaganda & Anarch Troublemaker only when you think
you can bleed your prey out.

Hint: If you don't have S:CE in hand, consider bleeding
anyway. Use Media Influence (sup) to refill anyone in torpor
(it works on all controlled vampires), then rescue them and
begin bleeding again. If you have too much S:CE, bleed anyway
and hope for combat to clear your hand.

Pool management is mostly from rapid ousting and can
cause high stomach acid levels. Social Charm (sup), Enchant
Kindred (sup) and Tribute to the Master followed by Media
Influence (sup) can supplement when Tums(r) are insufficient.
Deck is weakest against vote, steath bleed and weenie bleed decks.

Possible offensive improvements/variants, depending
on metagame:
Pump bleed by using 4-8 Legal Manipulation replacing
Social Charm and/or Tribute to the Master.
Get slightly more deceitful - and nominally faster,
by adding 1-4 more Aire of Elation, in place of Enchant Kindred.
Add more tap effects with 1-2 Propaganda in place of Enchant Kindred or

Possible defensive improvements/variants, depending on metagame:
Substitute 1-2 Archon Investigation for Tribute to the Master.
Consider 1-4 Delaying Tactics in place of Social Charm and/or Enchant Kindred.

I was often content with not taking any actions and letting the master
cards and my wall of intercept do the work. The reaction cards are there to
protect the master cards that are already in play. Aggravated damage (with
or with out Rötschreck) made vamps pay for trying to mess with my stuff.
Multiple master phases were required because I ran through minion cards
quickly and would occasionally see a very gray hand.

Gangrel Wall of Untap

Josh's deck is a fiendishly clever block and untap
monstrosity. Cats Guidance, Raven Spies, Forced Awakenings,
and Atonement make for constant blocks, and Earth Meld
keeps your people alive and ready for more. Smiling Jack the
Anarch takes down entire tables while pool management
keeps his damage to you to a minimum. Millicent Smith,
Puritan Vampire Hunter is also a really nice addition to this
blocking machine.
(I didn't get Josh's comments on the final, or on his
deck, so I hope he'll respond to this mail with any words of
wisdom on playing this thing.)

Deck Name: ' I'll be your dog !'

Description: Block and slaughter, fixed bleed, lots of nasty surprises.
Does not like S:CE but can block regularly enough to give it huge
problems. An interesting and fun deck to play - have to take a few
risks, too easy to sit tight and remain reactive. Meshenka is my
firm favourite, backed up by a stack of other great vamps (Dragos,
Lambach, weenie bleed/blockers and of course Devin Bisley and her
PMT charged big sister Corine.)

Description: Good all-rounder, does not like heavy agg. damage or
mass prevention but very effectively stops and works over a lot of
'Tournament sleaze' type decks (weenie Pre, s+b, tapout, votes). A
good standby to have in a collection of ready decks.

I don't know if you want commentary on this deck, but all I would like

Gird Minions is a highly, highly underrated card.

Description: Well there it is...
Some comments about playing this deck:
1. Don't rely on getting any specific card, nor wait for one.
2. Play the hand you receive (all surprises from the deck will be good, I promise)
3. Cycle -- Focus on going forward, you cannot win with this deck if you turtle up.
4. This deck was designed to play at a 4 player table... (It's what I'm used to and usually what I see in tournaments)
5. Yes this deck is not perfect and it does have weaknesses, but I foresee changes to it in the not too distant future.
6. I'd like to thank David and Jose and the Charlotte play group for all their help and teachings over the last year.

Matt Green
https://groups.google.com/g/rec.games.trading-cards.jyhad/c/bYcjGAL9eeM

Deck Name: Sandwich of the month

Matthew Green won, with a quite EXTRAORDINARY toolbox Malky deck,
including [blush, simper] Out-of-turn Rush/aggravated damage/Rötschreck
combat. He only had 5.5VP to get to the final but he engineered this
quite BRILLIANTLY, ensuring, for example, in the third heat that none of
the other players was going to get more VP than him, and that the biggest
threats to him were stymied. He then played a total blinder in the final,
starting off slow, blocking or voting down [with my help] Rob's votes,
helping me to bring Rob down to 1 pool and then using a Madness Network
Dramatic Upheaval to swap places with me, so that he could bleed out Rob
and then, via a Deflection, me. A really AMAZING performance and one for
the aficionados. Well done, Matt! All the finalists got AH boosters -
thanks, John!

Here's matthew's winning deck, with his comments.

"The deck could stand some improvement, it was the first time it had
seen competitive play. The Bum's Rushes were pretty bad, another hunter
would have been better. The Legendary Vampire was great as were the
My E's-E's. Telepathic Vote Counting should be something different and
the deck should have Sudden Reversals and maybe a DI. Tribute to the
Master effectively kept Rob T in the game during round 1, I had no way
to deal with it. Masters in this deck are at a premium really and adding
still more OOT cards may be a bad idea. I'll try it and see."

Description: Block and slaughter, fixed bleed, lots of nasty surprises
Does not like S:CE but can block regularly enough to give it huge
problems. An interesting and fun deck to play have to take a few risks,
too easy to sit tight and remain reactive.

Here's the results of the first canadian
DCI-sanctionned-VTES-constructed-deck Tournament

It was a hard fight for Pierre-Hugues, who has won his place for the final only
in the 3rd round. With the efforts he made in dealing with others for votes, we
can say that he surely deserves his title of Primogen Ventrue!

Robert Goudie's Weenie Obfuscate/Auspex deck

Well, first of all, I'm suprised at the contents now that I look at
it. The original version was more heavily weighted toward Night Moves.
This is probably half as many as were in the first version. I also
removed all of the dodges and instead put more intercept. I've always
called it a night moves deck but that really doesn't describe it well
anymore. Let's call it a Weenie Obfuscate/Auspex deck.

The crypt design is pretty obvious. I put 2 of each vampire that had
Auspex+Obfuscate. I also put 2 of the 1 or 2 capacity vamps with
Obfuscate. The Auspex vamps are key. I need to get at least one to
start with.

I think I'm pretty well known for really focussed decks (weenie dom bleed,
weenie cryptic mission, weenie undead persistance, etc.) and this is
somewhat of a departure. They're still weenies but I put in a good
number of cards that may or may not be useful. As it turned out, these
additions that watered-down my stealth bleed were a big benefit to me.

I believe I won with no library cards left so I had an opportunity to
play all of the one-shot cards. Delaying Tactics was used to save my bacon.
The Malkavian Dementias were quite nasty and allowed me to take Lucian
from my predator at a couple of key moments. The Muddled was quite useful,
as were the Haven Uncovered (I believe Paul made use of it to attack
Jeff) and the Sudden Reversals.

I essentially used my size to get a quick kill of my first prey. Then,
I had enough intercept to keep my next prey and my predator from killing
me. The neverending supply of stealthy bleeds eventually did the trick.

Jeffrey Thompson's Lasombra Commons Deck

Influence out the oldest vampire in the starting
crypt with superior Dominate. Then use the Govern
the Unaligneds and Scouting Missions to bring the
rest of your crypt into play.

It is not unusual for this deck to have 7-8 minions
in play with 10+ pool before ousting its first prey.

Proof positive that you don't need rares / uncommons
to win, as there are only 3 uncommons in this deck,
all the other cards are common.

Here it is, along with his notes for improvements

Notes: Should replace Greger with another copy of Mariel. His lack of
superior DOM is too much - even though he has a title and OBF. Mariel's
ability is useful when faced with an intercept-combat deck.

Notes: I'd Drop the Takeovers. They weren't effective in this deck.
Replace with an Obfuscate skill card and another Cloak the Gathering.

Deck Name: Extreme Sports

The Winning Deck:
Description: Tremere push the pain for all it's worth...

Instructions:
1: If the tourney rules allow you, don't be afraid to strip this deck by as
many as 30 cards...
a) The Gangrel de-evolutions are because Gangrel's persistent small bleeds
and many combat-ends cards are annoying.
b) The strained vitae supplies are great against pleb-decks.
c) Strip one Chainsaw and all Vast Wealth if you think the Chainsaw is in
danger from Canine Hordes. If you think it may get stolen with fast
hands... Keep it in! ;o)

2: Try to save the bursts of sunlight for when you're blocking. Or your
opponent will just dodge of Combat ends.

3: Dawn-op, Weather Control, Skin of Night :o)

4: The chainsaw will start an entropic process, ending in your demise, or
the chainsaw-bearer going to torpor... Make sure you time its appearance so
that you have won before it causes you to lose. The Restorations, the Fifth
Trads, the Chantry, and the Masochism will all help to make the Chainsaw as
painless as possible.

5: The Chainsaw can be used twice in a turn if you use Heidelburg.

6: You *need* someone out with superior Auspex if your predator is capable
of large bleeds.

7: You *can* survive for some time without a prince or justicar, but you'll
probably need one for the end-game.

8: Blood Dolls, Restorations, Fifth Trads, and the Arcane Library are your
blood-generation, Bindusara has superior Auspex and can get you the Arcane

Political Defense: Block them.
S&B Defense: Deflect them until you can chop 'em up.
Pleb Defense: Beat 'em up, and eat 'em. Strained vitae supply.
Combat Defense: Agg-damage (dawn op / Weather control, or block and wait for
a good chance at Burst of sunlight, then be sure to diablerise them.

offensive as the hostiles and Parity Shifts work well together. Crypt is a
bit odd, could do with one or two mid-pointers with Obfuscate but in the end
better off going for good old Sir Walt. Would not have done so well if not
for the total lack of combat at the last tournament. Went for more Obfuscate
which worked well due to the usual and amazing lack of intercept at Portsmouth.

to deflect and bleed. Possibly gone a bit mad with numbers of trap and undead

Deck Name: Big Toreador Deck

Here is the winning deck for "Ascendance: 1", with comments from the winner.
It's a very interesting combination deck using Pool Gain, Votes, Intercept,
and Bounce:

By: Brian Wellington

"I usually call this the 'big Toreador deck'. It's based around large Toreadors
with useful special abilities. Most of them have votes, and most have +bleed.
The deck mostly tries to gain pool (5th Tradition, Voter Cap, Minion Tap, Blood
Doll, etc). There are votes to call, and the natural bleeds. There's enough
intercept to block a non-stealth bleed deck, and a bit of bleed bounce.
There are a lot of untaps - Wake, 2nd Tradition, and Alexandra and Masika's
abilities. Combat defense is based around Presence S:CE, Celerity dodge and
prevent, and the Elysium.

"The deck mostly worked as planned in the tournament, with a few surprises.
I torpored 6 vampires in the final round with Catatonic Fear and Celerity
cards, which has never happened before. Very few votes succeeded (I never
used a Voter Cap), but bleeding worked fairly well. I also never saw a duplicate
vampire in a game, which is often a problem with this crypt, and it also helped
that I didn't see any other Toreador decks."

Here's the deck that Rob Treasure won the November Portsmouth
Tournament with, together with his comments, both on the deck
and the tournament.

Rob's Ventrue Untouchables

"I wanted to try to show that my old faves can still rock
and roll in a tournament arena. The deck harps back to the
Ventrue Steamroller deck of GenCon97 with revisions for the
7/7 rulings which DID NOT help the Ventrue [Pulled Fangs,
Fame/Day Op, Tomb etc etc] needed to be done however.

It fits in most of the "Classic Cards" as well as a slice
of Obfuscate in place of the multitude of Day Ops. The
value of Master phases/cards are realised as they are laid
down 2 at a time - no one can deny the effectiveness of a
double Hostile in the right hands. Might take out the
revelations, they are useful to get rid of intercept,
wakes or power cards but more Daring the Dawn or Hostiles
would be more useful. I like the crypt, obviously powervamp
Arika and Queen Anne are the mainstay but either of the
other princes with an obf skill card can kick ass. Lady
Luck can boot you in the nuts with your draw of four but
as long as one of the biggies come out you are ok.

The deck has very little intercept. I tend to save the
2nd Trads and the Rumor Mill for emergencies and rely on
Hostiles, Banishments, Deflections and agitation as
"offensive defense". It has a lot of powerful one-shot
plays, biding your time, slotting together a good hand
and playing it well can take out two or cripple three
players in a turn. The deck is all about laying low and
balancing tables then pouncing when you are very sure
or taking a calculated risk [my kind of deck].

I was impressed with [and scared by!] a couple of decks
at the tourney. Niki's Trap/Undead Persistence deck was
cool, I liked the obvious but overlooked inclusion of
superior Dom. Will's horrible allies blender deck is
great, the hurt comes from an unexpected source and the
sheer numbers are hard to handle. 19 players. Could be
wrong but no Malk. S&B decks, F* ***** Hooray."

He's not wrong about the lack of cheese. Only one tap
and bleed deck, too! It was also good to see Nathan's
!Tre combat deck and Garry's big blokes doing well.

Deck Name: "OK, What the Hell, a Ventrue Vote Deck"

By: Eric Nawrotzki

This Ventrue Vote Deck shares a fair degree of similarity
to my Toreador vote deck, which won "Praxis Seizure: New Jersey".
Once again defense was a prime consideration. It has Domain Challenges,
Forced Awakenings, and Sudden Reversals to slow down the weenie tap decks
(which for some strange reason there were none). The Archon Investigations
and Protected Resources and the Deflections to deal with the big bleeders
(of which there were many). Since there are more Ventrue Princes the
Toreadors, I went with more 5th Traditions and Minion Taps. The weakest
part is still probably combat defense, but I was able to add Obedience
to the Elysium and Majestys (and I did not encounter any combat rush decks).

Peter Bakija's Praxis Seizure: Buffalo 99 winning deck

"The Nosferatu Hate You", Mk. IV

This deck is highly proactive--its bleed defense is killing the vampires who
want to bleed it, its vote defense is killing the vampires who want to call
votes against it, and its combat defense is to kill, kill, kill. It rarely,
if ever, blocks anything, and as such, is almost always completely tapped
out, having had all of its vampires attacked on its turn. It'll have a lot of
trouble with a persistent Gangrel deck, a serious manuver deck, or some sort
of deck that has a lot of Fortitude and Presses, but these are pretty
uncommon in a tournament environment.

William Lee transcribed his Tzimisce deck for me. Here it is, the
intercept-combat deck that won the last but one Portsmouth tournament
[in April]:

That's a direct copy of what Will wrote out for me, and I reproduce it
in part because I think it gives an insight into his creative process.
And Will is VERY creative, AND a nice guy, AND a good player. Moreover,
he has the loudest voice of ANY Jyhad player I have ever met, a fact
which becomes apparent to the entire block once he starts losing.

Notice that this deck, constructed for an NCL environment, is also valid
for 6CL. It also contains rather few rares, and would probably function
quite well without those. Hey, i'm getting the hang of this subtle hints
business, doncha think? Hope you are listening, CL dudes and dudettes.

Legbiter
https://groups.google.com/g/rec.games.trading-cards.jyhad/c/wtAwMcOu-8Y

Legbiter's winning deck. Basically this is a clone of the "Princes of
Carthage" deck that got R David Zopf to the DragonCon finals. David's modest
claim that this was "just thrown together" is somewhat undermined by the fact
that the deck can still do well in the hands of a different player on the
other side of the pond! However, I admit I have tweaked the deck a little
[more KRCs, kept the Kine Dominances, didn't increase the Carthages, changed
a few of the masters]. In play it flows beautifully. The only change i might
make to it now is maybe to put in a few alacritys - perhaps replacing the
Sengir dagger, one of the closed sessions and one of the Bewitching orations.
This is because the only time the deck struggled was when Garry, with a
decent amount of intercept, good combat and a few votes of his own, was my
predator. Interestingly, this deck didn't do THAT well when we playtested it
in my group last monday - i got 2VP but also got kippered by Drummer John's
fast Presence-bleed deck. Admittedly that was in part because i made a
FOOLISH error, but still... guess the playgroup ain't the same thing as the
tournament, eh?

A beautiful deck to watch in operation.
He wants a cool name for it, but at 7 o' clock
in the morning, the best we could come up with was the Lazverinus All
Skills All Stars deck. Better name suggestions on a postcard please.
The deck doesn't look much but what has to be taken into account is the
calibre of the player, who knows exactly when to play and when not to,
and ensures a good cycle of his cards to get exactly what he needs, when
he needs it. Apologies if any cards are mentioned more than once, total
the number of them if it happens.

Steve Wright
https://groups.google.com/g/rec.games.trading-cards.jyhad/c/LPdiJMxWBEA

Steve Wright is thus not only the tallest Jyhad player in England but the
champion of Portsmouth, at least until our next run-in which will probably
occur in about 6 weeks' time [date uncertain because we want to avoid
clashing with world cup matches]. Well done Steve! Not bad for someone who
got Nul Points in Praxis Seizure: Isle of Wight! Here is his winning deck:

Interestingly, Steve's deck is almost a 4CL affair... and clearly could
be made 4CL by the simple expedient of replacing one of the WWEFs with
another Second Tradition. It worked essentially because whenever people
tried things against it Steve had a counter. Example: I tried a
cross-table Bum's rush. He Direct-Intervention'd it.

... Which reminds me that despite your inveigling I never did post my
UBCon Tourney-winning deck, which was also a combat deck, though not so very
involved as the four-discipline Marty deck. So here's the listing:

The idea is really pretty obvious: get into combat, beat the crap out of
some poor vampire, taste their vitae to refill your vamp. The combat
section is a little on the repetitive side, but that's what seems to be
effective. And it was very effective, especially the Immortal Grapples: it
seemed like most people at the tourney hadn't seen IG used very extensively
before, while, in my group, it has become the staple of most combat decks due
to its ability to beat strike:combat ends and dodge.

The Archon Investigation, cheesy trump card that it is, saved my ass a couple
times when the "Meet my unblockable Return to Innocence" deck came over to
bleed me for 11 for more. I was lucky enough to have it in hand at the right
time, and so I got its benefit (even though, at least once, that just got
Basilia with her two skill cards turned into some IC member via the old
Soul Gem), which was of course tremendous. I would almost certainly have
lost the final (championship) game if I had not drawn my AI quite early, and
knowing that my predator was the RTI deck, held it until I needed it.

The 3 princes are somewhat important for the vote angle that was meant to
give me some sort of edge over "standard" combat deck operations. As it
turned out, the vote angle never really paid off during the tournament - I
only managed to use Anathema a couple times, and never really got any mileage
out of the Con Boons. But I still think it was a good idea...
library: 90 cards (the maximum we allowed; the tourney was DCI rules, with
a few cards banned - paralyze cards from the Jyhad set, plus Succubus Club,
Monocle, and I think that was about it.)
