Nizzam Wall Deck

1)How do you intend to oust?
Some well placed bleed actions coupled with Fame and Dragonbound. The deck will be slow for sure, but that's the point.

2)How do you intend to keep from being ousted?
Hand Contracts plus Open Dossier is good defense and Nizzam's hand for 4 aggravated should dissuate overly aggressive predators.

3)What do you want your ready region to look like (ie, how many guys are you planning on getting out)?
Probably Nizzam and one of the Seraph's to support him. Maybe a weenie if I can bloat well or after an oust.

4)What do you want your average turn to look like?
At first just staying untaped and targeting potential threats with contracts. Once some guys are torporized I can start to slowly move forward.


Deck Name: Nizzam Wall Deck
Created By: Franz
Description: Nizzam wall up with Hand Contracts and Open Dossier's supported by intercept locations and extra untaps via Black Sunrise. Defend early on then start moving forward once some minions bite the dust. Khabar: Honor and Scorpion's Touch while usually being subpar are extremely potent if you have aggravated hand damage.

Crypt: (12 cards, Min: 21, Max: 36, Avg: 7,58)

I love torporizing vamps but hate it when they come out again ... And with only 2 vampires ... i think you need to finish the job. So maybe a monster and a sacrificial lamb to get rid of ... let's say an arika, nana or anson? Maybe an additional tattoo signal/watchtower: four ride forth/seraph's second?

My wife has used this vamp alot.

If you run him, why not use animalism more? Pack alpha out some raven spies or something. Maybe some murder of crows to help burn people outright?

Anyway, foul blood is quite funny with him lategame. But fast decks eat you alive.

I would also play a couple pentex for contesting, as currently, if someone pentexes Nizzam, your game is over.

This is reasonable advice. Monster should definitely be included and maybe Sacrificial Lamb too. Not a bunch of them, but maybe a couple to get rid of key vampires.

I'm trying to avoid making this a star vampire deck. Right now I got only 3 cards that only Nizzam can play and I intend to keep it that way. As Klaital mentioned, there is always the threat of pentex; having a bunch of cards only one vampire can play just make things worse if he ever get pentex'ed

While I'm well aware that Pentex is a threat, I'm not sold on the idea that contesting it is the ideal way to defend myself against it. If I only got Nizzam out and he is pentex'ed, yeah I'm pretty much done, but having 2 pentex in a 90 card deck will hardly save me. In this case I'll need the sympathy of my cross table buddies.
Meanwhile, if I get Pentex'ed later on, with 2 or 3 vampires out, having only a couple of cards that only Nizzam can play can keep me alive long enough for one of the support guys to get rid of it, which is always better than contesting a pentex in a wall deck.

Hi there.

One card missing: Blessing of Chaos (I know you said you didn't want a Superstar deck but I think one or two copies would fit as both Nizzam and Bakr can play it). It would greatly increase the threat factor for PRE combat ends players.
