Toreador gun deck

Psyche. You can go as low as 6 and not worry much.

I'm not sure about reducimg the Psyche-cards.

My deck needs:
- cycling cards especially at he beginning in order to get Concealed Weapon and the guns.
- pool gain, especially to be able to buy the guns
- combat, guns, long range, additional strikes or new combat, cancellinag combat ends
- ousting power
- block actions

When I look at this list, the following cards are candidates for cutting:
- Pentex
- Resist Earth's Grasp

What do you think?

Ive never ran resist earths grasp in a,Cel guns deck that I played in real envirnments (i think ive included it twice in decks I hated and dismantled) . Its stealth you dont need 90% of the time, and a manuever you have from pursuit or a press you have from psyche. Also, costs a blood. As a rule, Ive opted to onpy spend blood on 3 things in celerity guns:
More, often unexpected bleed
Bounce
2 additional strikes

So, resist ma be on the chopping block. Pentex is really good. I run fewer Psyches, but most Cel guns decks I use only set up like you want whe. i get screwed into running my B-Team. You want to spend 15 pool on 3-4 minions, strap them with 6-8 pool in guns, and farm some blood back as pool with your tastes WHILE playing yoir early and midgame as a cockroach with lunge potwntial, then take 2 ousts in the 3 way.

So, pentex seems costly when added in, but ots too good to ignore. Dreams cycles or gets acceleration.

Doing combat and blocking is what you HAVE to do, oust power youve added some, and testing will tell you if heart of the city would be better as one of the 4 1 BLOOD bleed at +2 bleed actions presence offers.

Id say ReG goes, then test some. To suceed, I see a ready region of 3 armed vamps, and some attrition with maybe opotunistic lunges. If you feel you neex more blocking, decide what you draw too much of. If you always have a psyche or 3 when you need blur or pursuit, switch, and that kind of thing.

Ok, I cut Resist Earth's Grasp.

The deck list "Torki dla Olki" of "Tomasz Izydorczyk" looks very interesting.
It was very successful in the years 2012 and 2013.

His deck list is the following:

I only have 7 guns in 90 cards. To feel safer, I added Barrens and Sideslip.
Smiling Jack is for more ousting power, but maybe he is not needed.
I also added Dragonbound, Carlton van Wyk and Bowl of Convergence.
Maybe I should also add 1 Haven Uncovered ?
Now I have 3 less untap cards compared to the deck list of Tomasz, maybe now there are not enough untap cards ?
What do you think ?
Thank you for your help.

I worry about several things:

1. Ousting..... You're almost committed solely to living to the 3 way and getting the table. Small things, such as fame/tension and Aire of Elation could help.

2. You're very top heavy with Anneke and Villon. I like more minions that don't cost so much, so you can take some animalism combat and not hit torpor.(villeins have to happen, refilling isn't easy). I'd consider Volker. He can only block with second trad, but he's a 5 cap prince with CEL.

You want Anneke which I get, so look at other Anneke centric decks to get a feel for reaction ratios because....

3. I feel like your reaction package is super high, and I get Anneke is your star, but you're running 30 reaction and no eagles sight. So, pentex/sense dep/ whatever and you can't stop that grand predator from getting Heroic might/preturnatural strength on count Germaine. Or turbo nergal calling the great beast. You get the idea. The deck is about control, so it plays alot like a Carna/Anatole/Mattias "permission" deck, not as cut and dry as most Cel Guns, but like a hybrid of the 2.

Hope I've helped.
