!Nos Big Caps Combat Toolbox

Deck Name: Immer mitten in die Fresse rein
Author: Johannes Walch
Description: I built the deck on the idea of wanting a combat deck that can handle Animalism well. This one can because I stay close, strike harder and Taste and they most likely don´t. It can also handle S:CE quite well, 10-cap is hard to Obedience and at least Cailean handles Guns. Apparently it hates VIC combat. On top of that a strong defense module so I only need to back rush when there are big voters.

Managed 2nd place in German Qualifier, tied with 1,5VP in the finals but worse pre-final standing.

* why fist of death instead of torn signpost ? You fear being unable to play them before having a preternatural strength ?

I don´t like dead cards. Once I have one or two Prenaturals these are really dead. Also they stack when you happen to have both in hand. Torn Signpost would be an equally good choice, tough.

* By what would you replace Deep song if unavailable ? A mix of rush card and govern the unaligned ?

I think the deck is impossible without Deep Song. The versatility is key, always having rush or bleed depending if you need to oust or to torpor.

I would appreciate some suggestion on what to use instead of Monster. Preferrably cards without pool cost, or one maximum.
