Adana and his hounds go trophy hunting

Hello there,

I'm trying to do something with Adana and the new Gangrel anti. The ideal turn is Adana Red List a minion, untap with instantaneous, rush it with Big Game, 3 aggrv first strike and Decapitate, get a trophy and untap with Big Game effect and Bleed. If blocked aggrav first strike and shadow boxing. For the crypt : Ryszard can red list low cap vamps, Morrow can get a revered trophy and bleed, Alex can def and Synner do whatever he wants.

My questions :
- Monster or Perfectionist ?
- To Street Cred or not ?
- Trophy Safe passage can be good ?
- Viable deck or not ?

At first glance, I would say you need to make this deck smaller, having only 5 red list actions and 5 rushes in 90 cards doesn't sound like your overly likely to draw both fast enough, I would also add more stealth since the red list action is at 0 stealth and if it gets blocked your screwed. The first strike is kind of cute, but I would say its overkill most of the time, and you could probably just drop those, also going amaranth instead of decapitate would help you a lot with blood management issues.

yep adana is a her i think ( check here ! )

Amaranth ? How do i avoid blood hunt ?

If the red list action is blocked i can shadow box after aggrav. I will try to add more Red List / Big Game. Plus i have stealth with Monastery, Swallowed, Instantaneous.

The first strike help me avoid putting prevent or taste as she take nothing in fight and it add a non dodgeable effect lovely against Carlton or other dodgers (stutter stepers ?)

You are using grapples anyway so you shouldn't be too worried about dodges. Also Adana has 4 votes which is good in surviving blood hunts, you can rush the other titled vampires first. Shadow Feint just seems like something you don't really NEED when you already have grapples anyway, and the shorter you can make your combos the more likely they are to work.

But i really love Decapitate... One of the most funniest card to play for me

So -8 shadow feint - 1 Decap and +2 red list +2 big game +4 amaranth +1 swallowed ?

The trophy hunting ground can help a lot with blood management cumulated with Adana's innate ability but you may be right with amaranth. If i add Ammaranth why not add some trophy diablerie or absolution of the diablerist ?

Another point : would you put Monster or Perfectionist ?
