Deranged Masika

Well, this is another for fun deck I'm throwing.

How to oust
Bleed every single turn (including my oppnent's) using masika malkavian and madness network

prevent from being oust
some bounces and D action blocks, bloat by bleeding with social charm, some enchant kindreds on the uncontrolled

ready reagion
masika + yorik + zoe or isabel de leon

average turn
try to do clan impersionation to make masika malkavian (use sibyl's tongue with yorik if you don't get initial hand with clan impersona) then aways bleed for 3 or more with masika. The support minions can use anima gathering or block / bounce

metagame
lots of combat but lately lots of stealth bleed and some blocks.

Masika screams for enkil cog! But, if you don't have those this is the next best thing. This will definitely be fun.

I think I would go 7 enchant kindred and 4 social charm. But that might just be a personal preference not necessarily better.

I could borrow some enkil cogs with my friends to play on a tournament, but the thing is enkil cog can only be used once per turn. With madness network I can bleed every turn.

With Enkil Cog, Masika doesn't become just another blocker if the Madness Network gets smashed.

AND you does'nt even need a card to bleed for 3 ! (this is actually the best part of Enikl cog in this deck !)

But the major issue I would point with your list is the fact that you state that there is "lots of combat but lately lots of stealth bleed" in your meta.

Both of those archetype will destroy your deck as prey or predator :
a combat deck will have free rushes with a madness network as a must-have-on-board-to-play card and a bleed stealth deck predator will kill you and your 10 reaction cards in no time (yes once you are on road if nobody burn the madness network you can oust prety fast but you have quite a lot of things before you are at this point of time) and a S/B as prey OR pred (or actually if you become threatening, even cross table) will burn your network about anytime he wants.

I would change a couple of things :

First, as said, I will add 2 to 3 enkil cog and I will drop social charm and enchant kindred entirely (even anima gathering wich will make your masika legal for archon investigation).

Then I will add quite some reaction card to protect Madness Network and some good combat package (you've got CEL) in order to discourage people to come "just because they can".

Oh and also, I think once you have a good combat package, you can drop the obf angle which take a lot of space. You keep resist as a stealth/combat thing and if people keep throwing thing in front of you, a .44 and some pursuits/psyche will make their board clean !

Timo,

thanks for the input.

1 - about the anima gathering. I thought to put it just to have more intercept permanent to block attempts on the madness network. I can do it on basic auspex to avoid get +1 bleed if I really put enkil cog on the line.

2 - About the stealth / combat package: Could I add some fleetness, to have rush / bleed on the same card with stealth and do more stuff with masika besides bleed? I thougth of social charm only because of the pool gain but with the 3 bleed package (enkil cog or anima gathering) I can do pretty much dmg on my prey's pool every time.

Gonna make a new decklist and post here soon ok?

thanks again!
