Jack Drake's Motley Crew

Deck Name: Jack Drake's Motley Crew
Author: Brandon Haas
Description:
I've been trying to figure out a way to make Jack Drake work for a while- now I think I've found it. By playing with Jack you can skip all of the anarch-making deck and just get down to the business of bleeding for profit. Spoils of War and Esprit De Corps make this deck work (moreso the former). Bleed for a fair amount and gain blood and pool. What's not to like? Master count is a little high. Could cut Agent of Power and Libertas if I really wanted to, but I don't. Crimethinc. at tha or pro is a good way to take another action, like hunting, smashing, or getting Robert Carter. He is expensive, but I want to take him for a spin. What do you think?

I'm not sure about Resist Earth's Grasp, but I hope that you have plan for it.

I'd add Narrow Minds, which combos well with Libertas.

Your combat module isn't very big, but I'd be tempted to add either Frontal Assault or couple of Haven Uncovereds. Or rush actions since your master module is quite full.

Edit: I'd also replace Axel von Anders with Rodrigo, who seems to have better disciplines for this deck.

Good call on Rodrigo. Narrow Minds should go in, too.

Resist Earth's Grasp is for stealth, or for combat if neccesary. With Rodrigo there are 7 who can play it at superior.

-2 Esprit De Corps
-2 Agent of Power

+1 Narrow Minds
+2 Bum's Rush
+1 Information Highway (a good card to run multiples of with Undue Influence)

Thanks!

Information Highway is also very good with Wider Views!

Screw the rush... more stealth on your dirty anarch bleeds.

Marijava Ghoul
Type: Retainer
Cost: 2 blood
Ghoul with 2 life.
The minion with this retainer gets +1 stealth when attempting an action that requires Presence

.

I can't help but think that this deck would be better if you would replace Jack Drake with Anarch Converts. Also Jugger, he would be better off with Anarch Manifesto than marijava ghoul for this deck, does the same for free.
