Thuggees and Horseshoes

Deck Name : Thuggees and Horseshoes
Author :
Description : Hi all,

Returning to the game after a good six months. I've been looking back at some of the posts here on this forum and was inspired by a suggestion that involved adding Horseshoes to a Thuggee deck.

As you can see, the Master module is beyond light but there are a few slots left open for a suggestion or two eventhough I am tempted at just adding 4x more Art of Memories for a total of 13 and just simply abuse bleed/bloat/attrition accordingly. The more I think of it, the more I'm thinking Art of Memory should be the main focus here.

Gran Madre di Dio and Orb of Ulain are my personal touches making blood all that more scarce for opposing vamps.

There are 3-4 more open slots that I'm planning on dedicating to the Master module. Right now, I'm considering a split between 1-2x Archon Investigation/Pentex Subversion. Two copies of AI boosts the chances of me having it in hand either early on whenever my predator tries to lunge for that 4+ bleed action. Dreams are there for those who refuse to block in which case I need to cycle out excess stealth.

Why not have Young Bloods? They have a liability problem (killing them = +2 blood), but your Vagabond Mystic should be able to help with keeping them alive. Plus they can Leech and follow it up with either their own action or a Horseshoes.

Also 2+ Charisma would be worth it... Cheap Thugs is a good thing.

I think you're better off with Group 3/4.

That way, you get Nails, another !Nosferatu Black Hand (with so he's the equivalent of Nigel but is Black Hand).

It's true that Olivia and Agatha don't have such convenient substitutes. Frank Litzpar and Herbert Westin are both 5-caps with , and Amelia the Blood Red Tears is a 5-cap with . Or you can just use other Black Hand vampires, maybe Mariano Pomposo , Ezekiel Lord of Montreal , or Tarbaby Jack . You already have Skryta in there for just two inferiors and Black Hand, so I would imagine that Mariano or Ezekiel could slot in as well if necessary.

I've listed out a few decks like this, but i also used a couple abyssal hunters, and in one version, nostoket. i'm unsure on the grouping here though. i see 3/4 as more optimal for BH tech and your disciplines. have you tested this yet? i'm curious to see how it would do, i haven't played a thuggee deck in quite awhile.
