Mono Vicissitude Toolbox

Here is another experiment from me to an area that I haven't really explored before, in this case, what can you do with just vicissitude alone! Its my first take ever on this particular concept so suggestions are welcome.

I was first going to chuck in some war ghouls too, but then figured that without support cards they would just be a pool sink in most cases, and at worst case would wreck me if stolen. There is a healthy mix of permanent and transient +bleed, with permacept for defense. I thought about paths first, but then figured that inner essences are likely enough to cover the costs of the cards, and doesn't cost pool or mpas, and there is hungry coyote and liliths blessing as back ups.

A few Meld with the Land is nice to switch things up. The S:CE is free and can save your bacon, what with Chiropteran Marauder to assist. And if and when you are bounced you don't leave your g-prey open from your pressure.

Chiropteran Marauder is gold with Quick Jab. Potencedecks will hate you much .

What kind of match do you expect?

In my opinion, this deck would need some kind of reactive/pro-active "defense": There is no intercept against undirected actions (1x Mr. Winthrop in 90 cards does not really matter) and no way to enter combat.

I could change the skin traps to meld with the lands perhaps, though I am not so sure of quick jabs as I intend to use the chiropterans more often as manuevers. I guess I could change the balloons to revenants for more intercept against undirected actions if that would be better? As I said earlier, haven't tried this kind of deck before so I just sort of threw something together so can see what does or doesn't work and tweak accordingly.

I believe quick jab to be pretty meta dependant. It does nothing against animalism combat, prevention of all sort, celegun, ally deck, etc ...

It is pretty fun to play, however
