Alexandra with Grand Ball

Here´s a deck from 2004. Just remove old tech and add the modern goodies and you´re good to go.

Deck Name: (she´s got the) east side blues
Created By: Erik Torstensson
Description: Doesn´t like weenies or rushes, but when Arika performs
4+ actions on her first turn, the table swings to your advantage.
Hidden strength is good vs Aid/Carrion, Trap, Grapple and can even be
used offensivly in late game. Cloaks are good for stolen minions. PTO
worked fine, but wasn´t gamewinning. You can get votes by robbing
other titles, if needed.

Crypt: (12 cards, Min: 17, Max: 44, Avg: 7,75)

Good topic !
I've been trying several b'purge-decks the last few months, with varying degrees of success.


I think when Purging, there's some caveats to take into account:
- you're combo's rather card intensive: you need to have the purges, make 'm succeed, get out of torpor, decide what to do with the torpored vamps, get out of torpor, survive, AND find a way to kill your 1st prey without the rest of the table gaining their vp's with their finely tuned ousting machines.
- Since you'll play 10-11 caps, multi-acting is in order.
- Since people will be crosstable rescuing and ganging up, a good plan for what to do AFTER you purge is a necessity. This means, probably, that you'll be either diablerizing (beware of Carlton!) or graverobbing, or both. That means either having the votes (and a lasombra to be able to purge those votes crosstable), and dominate.
- Also, having a lasombra present is obligatory if you don't want to dunk anarch converts, tupdogs, dom-weenies or progeny's.
- Some form of built in +bleed is nice, since you're library will be clogged enough as is and the goal still is to get those vp's.

With this in mind, ive tried and thought of several options:

- Byzar 10 FOR NEC OBF AUS dom
Has permanent +1 Stealth, FOR for freakdrive, access to the +1 stealth equipment, can bounce, and has by card-text a good defense against Carlton-burning when you go diablerizing.

- Hazimel: 11 CHI FOR AUS POT
Has the votes 2 votes, gets the stealth from purging, costs 2 blood to d-act against which is nice (bye tupdogs), has built in +bleed, and FOR and AUS for multiacting and bouncing.

- Luca Italicus: 10 OBT NEC FOR DOM
Lasombra (yay), has votes, acces to stealth and multiacting, dominate, and teams up well with Bruce the Guy, in case you want to go the vote route for ousting.

- Gerald Windham 10 THA DOM FOR AUS
+1 stealth, Chantry!, Dom and For.

- Saulot: 11 FOR AUS XXX
Becomes unblockable with Neutral Guard, has +bleed, has a built-in bloat engine, can multiact and bounce, no votes though, and you still need that lasombra.

My favorite by far is Alonso Petrodon.
-
- Warsaw Station is awesome for this. (A bit worse then Chantry, of course)
- Justicar: 2nd Tradition
- Enkil Cog first, Baltimore in your turn, Baltimore in Predator's turn and Alonso also keeps 3 bleed for ousting without extra cards.
