Serbian NC TWD

Hi all,

Here is the tournament report and winning deck from the recently held Serbian national championship event.

Location: Belgrade, C22 club
Date: June 2nd
Format: Standard constructed 3R+F
Number of participants: 16

Finalists:
Milos Krstic
Nikica Novakovic
Aleksandar Zivkovic (from Kragujevac group, a nice surprise finalist)
Djordje Sutic
Mirko Marinkovic

Final Seating:
Milos -> Nikica -> Djordje -> Mirko -> Aleksandar

Winner: Milos Krstic 2ith 2 VPs in the final (Dj. Sutic had 1VP and Aleksandar managed to get the consolation prize in outlasting Milos in one on one duel)

Deck Name : White Wedding
Played by : Milos Krstic
Author : Milos Krstic
Description : This deck,even tho it looks like standard spirit marionette hijacker,is in fact stealth&bleed
deck that uses people's fear of marionette+heidelberg castle to make them tap thus shutting down
block/bleed redirection defense of prey(also it stops predator from blocking undirected actions easely).
Paying 3 pool in order to have a team of Salubris is not so bad since their texts generate way
more pool then that,and AUS smallcaps make good and cheap support/defense.The dreaded German castle
is of course used to strip marionetted vampires off their blood,but since most of the time people will
be tapped its main use is to make lunge attacks with bleed retainers.In retrospect i would add some
5-10 cards since this deck burns alot of cards each turn,which resulted in me being decked out 3 out of 4
rounds i played.I had 2GWs/8VPs pre-finals, 2GWs/10VPs total.
