15 Players
Winner: Marcelo Mendes
Notes: Our champion Marcelo <aka jackfruit> is an old player who just got back in the game and played with a incomplete deck. The player benefited immensely from the reactions in his deck on this tournament meta. This deck should soon be upgraded with 1 more form of corruption and at least 3-4 enticements.

It would be a nice feature to get to know the other finalists and their decks / decks archetypes, too!

I'll try.

Las table was:

Me <Tegyrius Wall> -> Tremere Malgorzata Bloat/Bleed -> Jackfruit Setite B+S -> Tremere Big Cap <multiaction/bloat/bleed> -> Osebo Toolbox <Massassi + Cesewayo>

Table started with me on t3 putting a Isabel de Leon and a Smiling Jack. My prey misjudged the power of smiling, and spent all his transfers twice to try to find malgorzata in their crypt. It was his ruin. I holded smiling until 4 pool, netting a 10 pool damage plus a Loss on him, damaging him out of the game (he managed to put rutor in play, but he had only 7 pool, not enough to play another minion. Meanwhile, the tremere big cap was prooceding to setup his deck with lord tremere, gabrielli and rutor's hand, and started governing bot and front (he used several mind of the wilds, bondings and mirror walks for stealth. Nakthorheb soon handjammed with obfuscate and started spamming 1 bleed actions, and tremere just ignored the 1 bleeds with governs, vessels, ashur's and gabrielli's special with rutor's hand.

Soon, the table dynamics was defined. Me and my predator <cesewayo> starting contesting the rack, montreal, and others, tremere big cap was pushing so hard on Osebo and yet he resisted, jackfruit's setite was bleeding 4 every turn with 4 minions and no blocks, and yet during this entire time I still could'nt manage to oust my prey - malgorzata's tremere (I was receiving everyturn 1 redirection from tremere and the osebo was everyturn bleeding or trying to steal my the rack).

After many turns of play, I finally manage to oust my prey, but it was impossible for me to oust the setite (too many reduce bleed actions and he bloated to 4 setites and 16 pool), and almost everyturn I had to rescue parnassus from blocking osebo's actions (too much attrition).

Cesewayo and massassi started pressuring me much more after burning gabrielli di righetti on a diablerie (the setite did it with a small cap, I couldn't rescue - no blood). After that, the tremere played some combat cards and sent cesewayo to torpor. Tired of entering combat with my predator for the entire game and hurted from the attrition, I blocked massassi with fatima and used my ivory bow to send him to torpor, getting him out the city. After the big cap tremere ousted him, I also removed him from the game with a direct intervention on a crucial 5 bleed from jackfruit's. Then I couldn't managed to hold the rack (spent too many wakes already), the edge (too many reduce bleed cards from jackfruit's) and montreal (too many setites and too many stealths) and I finally fallen for his bleed actions from his unjammed hand.

Hope you enjoy.
