Deck Name : Girls will find Sadness
Author : Kevin Mergen & Damnans
Description : This deck has been designed with the purpose of being capable of destroying Ashur Tablet decks while still being able to be competitive enough to get game wins. It is based on Phagian's special ability, which allows other vampires you control to play Necromancy :nec: cards at basic level by paying an additional blood. Thus you do not have to includde Necromancy :nec: master discipline cards in your deck in order to enable your Dementation Malkavians :malk: /!malk! to play Trochomancy to deny any Methuselah of your choice access to card recursion.

How do you intend to oust?
By bleeding my preys to death.

How do you intend to keep from being ousted?
By ousting as many preys as possible while gaining some pool during the process (either from Kindred Spirits or from ousts). In addition, there are several bleed bounce cards.

What do you want your ready region to look like (ie, how many guys are you planning on getting out)?
Phagian + 3 vampires with Dementation :dem:.

What do you want your average turn to look like?
Each vampire with Dementation :dem: bleeding my prey for 3 or 4 (with Trochomancy if necessary).

What's your metagame like? How do your opponents play?
It is very varied. My opponents play in very different modes :) (such as aggressive, very defensive, spiteful, etc.)

What problems have you observed with the deck in play?

The main problem comes from investing 8 pool on Phagian, who lacks Obfuscate :obf: and Dementation :dem: to be able to take bleed actions.

Why play with :dem::obf: rather than :dom::tha: or :dom::for:, or even :dom::for::tha: ? Right now Phagian has very little to do and no stealth on his own. You could keep the same core idea with a deck where everyone can play your cards.

Because with Dominate :dom: I cannot bleed any Methuselah, as I can with Kindred Spirits. If the Ashur Tablet deck were cross-table or my predator, I would not be able to it them with Trochomancy.

I could add a few master discipline cards for Phagian perhaps, or I could add several Veil the Legions to give him stealth.

1) You can still hit them on bounced bleeds.
2) Should you care? With a :dom: bleeder, an Ashur deck is not such a bad predator: you have a decent chance of scoring your 3 VPs before he gets really nasty. If the Ashur deck is crosstable, you are more likely to get bounced to him early on and if you are fast enough he will still be within reach when he becomes your prey.

As it is now, your vampires are not so small and Phagian cannot KS. If you start wasting actions on crosstable bleeds, you might screw up the Ashur deck, but can you still score your own VPs?

Or, you could just use his THA and Magic up Winchester Mansion.

Then play the G4/5 tha/dem/aus crypt with Alister Crowly and Reiner Stoschka. As a bonus, with Reiner in play your discipline cards are trifles so you can get THA/DEM/AUS on everyone and splash some obfuscate for Cloak and Veil.

Then you might actually have a deck.

Sticking with the original idea, I would add Vast Wealth, Winchester Mansion and Changling Skin Mask. Drop combat in favor of more bleed bleed bounce. It seems like your best bet is to have your star stay untapped and bounce while the supporting crew does the bleeding, except when you can either oust or otherwise get away with low defense.

Agent of Power could help supply a little extra dementation or obfuscate as needed.

-2 dreams +2 blood doll could be good for a little extra pool gain/blood pushing (or -1/+1).

Be careful when you fight the monsters, lest you become one.
