Some weird deck idea

Hi folks!

I had this deck idea to build something around Matthew and exploit his special ability. I came around up with a concept to use Hostile Takeover to terrorize the table with it.

My idea would be to use Matthew and the weenie ventrue Jack Tredegar (you just need him to meet the ventrue requirement). Add a Gehenna module to the deck: you want to reduce the capacity down to 6, but that is enough. So you don't need to pack all Gehenna cards into it. You can leave out those which would generate too much table hate. Go with save stuff like Blood Trade, Anthelios, etc.

Basically this would be some sort of master deck. It seems like I should do this with the Parthenon/Liquidation/Ashur combo.

So all you do is to swarm Hostile Takeovers like there is no tomorrow. You will play them for free, or if you play 2 in the same turn than it will cost you 1 pool only.

So that is the basic idea. But what else to do? What would you add to this deck? Do you see a point in it?

Cheers,

Meph

Instead of the Gehenna module, you can play Victor Donaldson for recursive Golcondas on 8-caps or more and a couple of skill cards to age 7-caps.

I like this idea Boris!

Nice deck idea... but I don't think it'll work that well.
With hostile Takeover you can only choose 6-caps or less... what if your prey play high caps? And even Golconda won'T work on stolen Vamps, due to the same reason. And if you play it on high caps of your prey, this would probably give him the pool to defend his low caps. But try it, build a deck, show it to us and test it. Maybe I'm a fool and it will work to perfection.
I also like Matthew and the general idea to play him with Ventrue to play HT is cool, but I wouldn't rely o it as a deck concept.

Here is the one I played. It doesn't work bad but is too slow. It probably needs more votes with Villein/Voter Cap to keep it high on pool and give it more offensive punch. No Matthew, but Victor Pelletier for access to Parity Shift and Temptation of Grater Power.
