"A" is for...

Anatole?
Asylum?
Aaron?

"B" is for Bueno...

"C" is for Cornelius!

Congrats for your victory !
I always wanted to make a deck like this
Cornelius have always been a fascinating vampire with its innate +2 bleed. I ended up playing Sundervere who has a very close special, but has better combat package

I'll build this deck.
But maybe with a handful Target Vitals to be extra annoying

Grats on the win Aaron! You are a rising (Anthelios) star on the LA scene and in v:tes in general. When you make the hall of fame, please mention me in your acceptance speech as the player who loses to you all the time

I have a hard time building a dedicated wall deck (I veer towards the toolbox all the time.) Gives me inspiration to tweak my coma deck that failed so poorly in the "C is for Coma" tournament to e a proper wall deck.

Wish I had played better in the early game so I could take you down in the 1 vs 1. I want to post my deck cause it was really fun to play, but I guess I will hold off till I win a tourney with it... it's a good deck to play in the LA environment, and I guess I can haunt you all with it in months to come.

Not even a single Smiling Jack?

No. I had a Smiling Jack in an earlier version, but I didn't like it. I want to do pool damage, not blood damage. Unless you can really protect Jack, it's a wasted slot IMO. My current bleed module (stealth+Pulses) would have to be reconsidered in order to be able to block bleeds, undirected actions from pred/prey AND Smiling Jack removal attempts from the entire table.
