Module for Imbued Deck - Desalle and Entrancement and WMO? was created by librarian
Hi guys,

I was messing around with my Imbued Deck, and thought of a possible module:
DeSalle, Entrancement, and Waste Management Operation.

Why: The idea is using her to steal back imbued; or to steal other Imbued on the table using Entrancement and her native +1 stealth to steal at +2 stealth. The Entrancements can also be used as +bleed if there are no allies on the table worth stealing.
DeSalle can also help out when you need a vampire - Ancient Influence, Reins of Power, etc. etc.


Finally, WMO can be a good card to use instead of Ashur Tablets because a) won't burn if someone else is playing them (and WMO is rarely played anyway). b) only takes up 1 card slot instead of 3. Reason I'd need this in my particular Imbued deck - I play Flash Grenades and White phosphorous grenades, and this will allow those cards to come back to me, as well as the Angel of Berlins and Concealed Weapons.

Module:
2 DeSalle
1 WMO
2-3 Entrancements

Thoughts? Am I crazy?

Built-in "steal ally" may be better (Xeper, Xipe Totec or merged Goulet).

Great idea for your opponents: Since you start with 2 Imbued fewer to pay for DeSalle, they don't even need to steal your minions any more.

Regardless the vampire you use, it is a huge pool cost for any imbued deck.
Besides, they can defend themselves very well against robbers.
2 or 3 static intercept, React With Conviction, Determine or plain old Direct Intervention are things that solve your problem and you would use on your deck anyway.

If theft is such a concern in your meta, get Keith Moody for Far Mastery with added bonus Deflections and the occasional Empowering the Puppet King.
Rejuvenate him regularly or pop a Jake Washington.

But still, if someone Entrances your guys, just block them and torpor them. Use the React with Conviction to cancel the Majesties.
Usually they learn the lesson.

I have used the combination of Liquidation and Waste Management Operation in my pre-Ashur "Twist with Conviction" deck.

The WMO was kind of moot, since almost always the game was won or lost before my deck was empty and the WMO could kick in. So in my experience, it's not worth it.

Liquidation + Ashurs + Parthenon, on the other hand, packs a huge punch!


If you want to have a vampire defending your Imbued, try Midget with Striga and Scobax! :lol: ("Imbued Nerds Worship Satan") And don't forget the outferior of Scobax (reduce a bleed by 1) as I did... And as for Midget being Infernal, it doesn't matter if he never taps!

Only reason to use DeSalle is for built in stealth and access to WMO for relatively low cost.

Xeper won't work due to grouping.
