bah sur mon blog, et déjà ça a 3 ans, je trouve que ça sent le moisi, mais bon quand même rien à voir (même si comme on me le fait remarquer 3x en 2 ans, j'ai zappé Girls)

TIER 1 Archetypes
While most people consider tier 1 archetypes to be the best decks around, I have a fairly different approach as I do not think best or worse apply very well to V:tes (apart from Khazar's diary of course) ^^
In my opinion, the tier 1 decks are the one who win on the most regular basis considering a large number of decks you might face. To me 10 decks are really the tier 1, the best of each category or so.
!Malkavian Bleed/stealth -> cross-table damages/ weak against rush
Lasombra Nocturn -> strong against rush/ straightforward
Khazar's diary -> Invincible or quite so/ slow
War ghoulator -> Prevent 1/ source of hate
Imbued -> Unknown to many / Feared by many
Edward Vignes -> Never handled/ Totally handlable
Legacy of Pander -> Perfect when it goes well/ Horrible when it goes bad
Weenie Animalism intercept -> So solid/ Dies to S/B
Weenie Auspex intercept -> More solid/ Slower also
Tupdogs -> Goes to final/ Does not win final
It is probably the kind of decks who win easily 50 to 70% of games played with players of your level who do not play tier 1 archetypes. They all have the same problem when arriving to the final: most good players know your deck, what to do and how to react accordingly, and then you get in trouble to kill them.
TIER 2 ARCHETYPES
There are a lot of tier 2 archetypes you can build. Any deck that win tournaments is virtually a tier 2. Tier 2 generally in my opinion suffer against more than one type of deck or virtually die to a specific card, which is the reason they are not higher. Here is a shortlist of the deck you would expect:
Nephandi -> Very good against tier 2/ Has problems handling most tier 1
Shamblings -> Versatile deck/ Weak against target vitals, contest a lot
Giovanni powerbleed -> Resistant and recycle cards / Weak under pressure
Ravnos week of nightmares -> Kills noobs/ Dies to good players
Weenie animalism rush -> Can kill any deck/ Can die to any deck
AAA (TGB vote) -> Bloat as hell / Dies to rush
Lasombra presence -> Unexpected/ For good reasons
Una freak show -> You play you win/ Most of the time you do not play
Carna -> Versatile and powerful/ Requires great skill
CEL Gun -> Best rushers around/ Suffers from the "salmon" syndrom aKa kill my predator
weenie potence -> win tables / do not win tournaments, worse than tupdogs
weenie DBR -> tricks opponents/ dies to weenies
Henry taylor twister -> on 1/3 table you have no problem/ you are not sure to even win those
Palla Grande -> more potential than ravnos / also dies faster
Ahrimanes -> same as weenie animalism with bigger vampires
!ventrue -> same as weenie auspex with bigger vampires
Nosferatu royalty -> kill his prey / does not seem to be able to do more
weenie PRE bleed -> cross table potential/ has troubles with B/S
I did willingly avoid Cybele and Arika on the list, as they seem too weak for me on current tables!
and you, which decks do you like to play? where would you rank them among this list?
