Deck Name: Enkidu PRO CEL
Description:
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.

Crypt [13 vampires] Capacity min: 1 max: 11 average: 6.30769
6x Enkidu, The Noah 11 ANI CEL OBF POT PRO for !Gangrel:4
2x Andre LeRoux 3 aus Toreador:5
1x T.J. 3 cel for Gangrel:4
1x Clifton Derrik 2 cel Brujah:4
1x Leo Washington 2 cel pro !Gangrel:4
1x Sean Andrews 2 cel Toreador:4
1x Iris Bennett 1 pro Caitiff:5

Enkidu in 5 copies sometimes didn't show up.
I added one copy (with a 13-crypt card to draw more side-kicks)

Library [90 cards]
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

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.

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 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

Equipment [1]
1x Gran Madre di Dio, Italy -> against Tupdogs, Nocturns...

Master [12]
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

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.

Reaction [6]
6x Sense the Savage Way -> to block of course, but protects also
against Rötschreck/Mind Numb/Sensory Deprivation

Retainer [2]
1x Homunculus -> not vital, but useful once you have Enkil Cog
1x Raven Spy -> helpful, but not vital.

Pas grand chose à dire de la liste de Vincent...

Le fait d'avoir un package efficace de combat gratuit est cool !

Et l'accélération "Andre Leroux" dans un deck gros thon rush a fait ses preuves...

[TTC_master]

voilà, Vincent, as-tu des choses à nous dire sur ce deck, je n'oserais rien toucher

GOOGLE DRIVE OK

voilà, Vincent, as-tu des choses à nous dire sur ce deck, je n'oserais rien toucher

Ca tombe bien, je n'ai rien à apporter de plus non plus. J'ai dû tester des micro-tweaks de master, mais il est très bien comme ça (je crois que les nouvelles cartes comme Shadow Boxing ou Instantaneous Transformation n'apportent rien dans ce deck).

[Tim]

Tu l'as testé avec shadow boxing ou bien tu dis ça par conviction ?

Genre -2 psyché +2 SB ?

[Ankha]

Par conviction.

[Tim]

Tu nous fait un laïus explicatif sur le deck ?

[Rushin' Reyda]

oui, faut bien expliquer que Leroux est un vampire buggué et que ce serait bien si on le ramenait à son premier usage : prévenir un bounce. Et pas servir d'accumulateur pour lâcher un bleed à 600 avec un capa 3 SVP...

"Premier usage" sous-entend que ce n'était pas prévu. Je pense que c'était prévu comme ça.
