Mind of Anathema

It isn't really about the free-eating (although that can actually be situationally quite handy) but the burn 1 blood to attempt to block. It can make it just that bit harder for people to make the right decisions because of an effect they aren't expecting.

I was pointing out that if both were ran on one vamp, diablery was not important.

Archon and crocs tongue are funny with Anathema. Force of personality would help too, but not coating blood does alot for crocs tongue.

I tried the deck twice on lackey yesterday, but didnt finish any matches because my internet was too unstable.

At least i did some setup with victor and fleurdumal, called some anathemas and assault rifles but didn't have time enough to test the combat module with mind of a child.

I guess I dont have a lot of trouble to deplete the vampires with assult rifle and blur (even with 1 additional). mind of a child doesn't let them use combat cards to defend themselves.

But I noticed that the deck is very expensive (even with alastor). 8 pool with a justicar, 8 pool with the star and 3-4 pool with a weenie toreador. Equips, toreador grandball and rush after anathema. kinda tricky to do if there is a very aggressive predator or very defensive prey.

Even so, gonna try a few more times and give new feedback here.

Most unorthodox decks are in trouble with an aggro predator. But If a defensive prey shuts you out, Id consider other options. Parity shift is cool to get pool, unblockably is better. But allowing it unbloclably is even better. Multiqcts absence is troubling if you find yoirself lacking in offense and defense.

If the deck runs DtD, the MoaC is easily burnable, and youll have to accept that. Kiss of Ra hits torries alot too.

Let us know what happens

My strategy with this deck is to do a multi act setup without fortitude. That is why I'm using cavalier, helicopter and ruthor's hand. I'm trying to use MoaC only when I'm sure I will rush right after, so I don't waste the card. That is why I'm troubled with the deck. It's kinda tricky to enter the setup propperly. But I'll keep trying and let you know what happens for sure

The burning vampire module worked like a charm. Played 3 matches and burned at least 6 vampires (2 per match average)

The problem is that the vampires are running out of blood faster than I expected. Maybe it is because there's few taste of vitae and i faced all sorts of counter decks. Criptic mission, derange + malkavian dementia, gangrel / akunanse agropoke and intercept, Toreador block, among others.

I guess it was a good test and maybe I can win less complicated matches, but this deck still needs some stoning.
