Black Annis

Deck Name : BLACK ANNIS
Author :
Description :

How do I intend to oust?
Mostly by burning older minions while keeping the small ones in torpor with a minimum amount of resources. Black Annis' stealth rush and +1 strength go a long way in doing just that. Otherwise, bleeds for 3 once Guarded Rubrics/Robert Carter hit the table.

How do I intend to survive?
It's basically a rush deck but with the ability to permanently take care of opposing threats by burning them outright. Black Hand tech here provides a minimal amount of intercept which allows me to react and hopefully burn a minion or two while defending. Although minimal, Blood Doll and Montreal are there for the bloat.

The board:

Black Annis, a Black Hand midcap and a 4-cap. I read an article about rush that spoke of never leaving predator with more than two minions on the board. That's what I plan on doing here. I hope to leave my predator with enough minions to defend while the rest of my actions are directed forward. I'm hoping that the ability to burn vampires out right will give me the breathing space to move forward, although I imagine it will be a slower oust. This might be the deck's greatest challenge... another option I considered was to inlude weenie pot/dom vampies and, along with Wah and Soldat, add some Conditioning and/or Graverobbings. I don't think I have the space to invest in those, however, and figured I should simply focus on rush.

Missing:
Heroic Might, Carver's Meat Packing and Storage, Abbot, Yawp Court and/or Delaying Tactics.

Recommend:
Remove the extra Kevlar Vest and Robert Carter. Consider 1-3 Street Cred for Black Annis - her +1 strength ought to make them easy to play. Corporal Reservoir is a dead card until your second minion is out and should be additional crypt acceleration like Information Highway. I would add a Depravity and 1-2 backup maneuvers like Quick Meld or Swallowed by the Night.

The master module is weak...
Bravo is inferior to sociopath (or monster )on all points.
2 hand contract would be good. If not, 1 shaker goes a long way.
1 carver is always good.
1 "art museum" for !nos is better than a powerbase that moves around.
You need something to gain pool ... Mt/ villein ?


1 or 2 shadow of the beast would be good.
Maybe the second Robert should be a Codex of the edenic groundkeeper.
For rush variety I would include a couple game of instinct.

As dorrinal stated, street cred is good in your module

Have fun !

@dorrinal. I like your suggestions for the most part. Except maybe for Yawp Court. That would require me to remain untapped. I'm not going to stay untapped with a 9-cap rusher. Ditto with whoever else I manage to influence out. Against voters, I just rush them instead of waiting. I do like Street Cred though. So much that I'm trying to figure out a way to add like 6 copies.

@reyda: Why is Sociopath better? I won't always burn or torpor a minion while Annis will always get into combat with Bravo. Carver will be added. Nosferatu Kingdom, I love, but it's 2 pool and I can't use it as acceleration on turn 1. Montreal, I can.

Be back with a new list featuring Street Cred! Also, I played it and it's difficult with only two actions per turn. I'm thinking of dumping the BLACK HAND angle and just use weenie sabbat POTENCE with Games of Instinct fun.

Thoughts?

Drawing Out the Beast works nicely with Flesh of Marble. Also, Drop Point Network to get what you need.

Here's a dominate version. The master module is still kinda iffy but what do you think of rest of deck?
