NEW YORK CITY QUALIFIER TOURNAMENT REPORT

Tournament Name: Aggressive Tactics
Number of Players: 18
Number of Rounds: 3 rounds plus final

Winner: Adam Hulse
Final Round: Adam: 2VP, Ben 1VP, Michael 1VP, Andy 1VP, Martin 0VP

(Archon Report Coming)

Adam Hulse - Toreador Group 3/4 Toolbox
Ben Peal - Kiasyd Bleed
Michael Andryuk - Ventrue Anti grinder
Andy Hatton - Malk Dementation Bleed Group 4/5
Martin Henley - Titled Tzimisce toolbox

Adam -> Ben -> Michael -> Andy -> Martin

A very intense game! The game started off quickly, Andy bleeding Martin and Martin bleeding Adam. To everyone's surprise, Martin who was a blocking machine all tournament did not draw enough intercept and was ousted by turn 6ish.

Andy, then moving forward quickly bleed with Bloody Mary for 4 and got promptly Archon Investigation-ed. Andy still took his shot and in that turn brought Adam down to 1 pool. Adam, in return had to take a lunge on Ben, which failed and caused bleeds of 3 to be bounced to Micheal who then bounced it to Andy! Putting Andy at like 6 pool!

Ben seeing that Micheal was now going to lunge Andy (and assuming Adam, gaining 12 pool), Ben then lunged on Micheal, but could only get him down to 2 pool! Micheal then ousted Andy but didn't lunge on Adam, assuming he had a wake.

Now down to 3 players...

One turn passes with some more minor bleeding, now it's Ben's turn and the table is follows:

Final turns: Ben at 1 pool, Michael at 2 pool, Adam at 1 pool

At the very end, there was a clutch decision by Ben. Ben had two minions to bleed. One bled Michael who bounced to Adam. Adam blocked, Ben considered stealthing it past, to force Adam to bounce back to Micheal, thus probably ousting Michael. Then Ben would have one more minion to oust Adam. (Adam insisted he did not have a bounce but that moot info). If Adam is ousted, Micheal would then have 2 vp. Ben could still win by ousting Micheal (2vp each with Ben with better seed) BUT then Michael would be at 8 pool and Ben thought that Micheal had enough minions to oust him. So Ben let Adam block him. It turned out to be a non-issue because then Ben took another shot and bled with the last minion... Michael was out of wakes and was ousted. However, now Ben has tapped his last minion. Adam then just bled for 7 to end the game.

Adam: 2VP, Ben 1VP, Michael 1VP, Andy 1VP, Martin 0VP


So I won my own tournament, ah well. (Ben joked that I was defending my prize support) I thought it was a great tournament and I was real pleased that everyone showed up! Here is my deck list.

You mention Bloody Mary being Archoned in the 4-player, yet his prey had no AI in the deck list. She got burned on a bounced bleed, or is the deck list incorrect?
