Deck Name: Defy the Edict of Worms
Created by: Darby Keeney
Description: This is an evolution of a previous Museum-Manse design, now with more Dominate! The library is currently formatted for the Gulf Coast's untimed finals format. A more tuned version with a thinner library is already being tested. The deck should also get better as the crypt rounds out.
With 9 S:CE combat cards, 7 pre-range combat ends effects from Living Manse, air cover from Powerbase: Savannah, and 2 copies of One with the Land; the vampires tend to be resilient. Despite sitting near several combat decks, only 1 vampire hit torpor though 4 rounds of play. In many games, I had more blood gain than I could use.
The tiny political module was intended to address Gangrel walls and assorted swarm decks. I never used either card and have ideas for replacements.
Crypt (12 cards, min=19 max=31 avg=6.25)
3x Adrino Manauara 8 ANI DOM PRO pot baron Tzimisce:6
2x Ángel Guerrero 7 ANI DOM PRO baron Tzimisce:6
2x Neserian 6 ANI DOM cel pro Tzimisce:6
1x Clara Hjortshøj 5 PRO ani aus dom Tzimisce:6
1x Marialena 5 DOM PRO ani Tzimisce:6
1x Prentis Derby 4 ani dom pro Tzimisce:6
1x Stephen Bateson 6 ani aus tha vic Tzimisce:5
1x Whisper 5 ANI DOM pro Tzimisce:6
-- Adrino’s press and Marialena’s detriment require planning to counter. Stephen Bateson is a terrible placeholder for an anything better. I’m hoping for a second [DOM][PRO] vampire at 7 cap in the next card release.
