file Themistocles' tryout

06 May 2012 11:03 #29517 by brandonsantacruz
Per our discussion here I made a deck to see how well Themistocles tags along with Dmitra and Count Germaine. Please let me know what you think!

How do you intend to oust?
Bleeds and Fame

How do you intend to not be ousted?
Bloat from Villein, beat up dudes who look threatening.

How many guys do you expect to get out?
I'd say about two as long as I see a Villein or can use a blood doll early.

What should your average turn look like?
Two actions per minion. Choices are:
-tool-up
-rush
-bleed
-enchant down

What problems do you anticipate with this deck?
-It isn't that hard to oust as long as you have ready minions.
-There are too many master cards, so hand jam may occur.

I think you need to think basics of the deck more. Only 4x Villein and smallest vampire 8 cap will mean you have to salmon rush a lot. You are locked instantly and have to go full defensive mode if you face aggressive predator.

EDIT
I would think adding some smaller Osebo support and add AUS if you want to use Themistocles.

You are trying to multirush with big caps that, except for Hektor, have no relevant specials. This may be the best that can be done with Themistocles but it's nowhere near the best that could be done with this concept.

While Armin has your disciplines, you're not using his special, so he can be cut back. I see Klaus Konrecht as a decent replacement. I think you need more blood management and pool gain.

-2 Armin
+2 Klaus Konrecht
-1 Dmitra Ilyanova (yes, she's awesome, but her greatness makes Themistocles pale in comparison)
+1 Don Cerro

-1 Fame
-1 Haven Uncovered
-1 Wash
+1 Auspex (to get Dmitra to 10-cap)
+2 Villein

-4 Enchant Kindred
+4 Social Charm (I think EK is weak bloat. Forward pressure backed up by big fist will be better for you in the long run. Bleeds for 2 are fairly responsible.)

-1 Fleetness
+1 Seal of Veddartha (for Hektor, Klaus Konrecht, Don Cerro)

-2 Skin of Steel (Fortitude that costs blood is not so great.)
-1 Amaranch
-1 Disarm
+2 Soak

+2 Iron Glare (Lunge)
AND

To get you to 90 until you decide how things work (all usable by Themistocles and Klaus at AUS, and Don Cerro at aus:

+4 Telepathic Misdirection
+2 Eyes of Argus
+2 On the Qui Vive (for everyone)

P.S. I added the Aus skill card so you'd have another 10-cap, but then I cut her back. Enkil Cog ftw.

When you are anvil, be patient; when a hammer, strike.

-4 Resist Earth's Grasp
+4 Misc :obf: stealth

-1 Perfectionist
-1 Giant's Blood
+1 Archon Investigation
+1 Dreams

+8 Iron Glare
OR
+6 Iron Glare, +1 Camera Phone, +1 Heart of the City

I'm a bit iffy about using Armin and not just tossing in a smaller chump Brujah who may lack the :for:. They can help you with taking out the last few pool on a prey.
