Deck Name: Star Oblivion ver 4
Author: 2wayspeaker
Description:
The goal of this Deck is to graverob your predator so early they cannot do anything against you, then you graverob your prey, you finish using their vampires and torpor/burn/steal the rest.

Preferred meta: high cap stars
Ideal position 3, 4 or 5

Scourge of the Enochians for Weenie control.
Apportation/Blood to water for Imbued and Fortitude.
Golconda for pool gain.

Turn 1 & 2 Hand:(Zillah, Guardian, Draw, Graverobbing)
Burn cards to get a Zillah's Valley T2, the goal is to bring out Keith and Uta at the end of turn 2.


Turn 3 (Guardian, Graverobbing, Burst)
Your predator hopefully brings out a high cap (9/10/11) at the end of his turn 3.
Play a Guardian Angel on Uta.
Rush the predator high cap with Uta, torpor them with Burst.
Play Graverobbing with Keith and burn 2 blood to get a ready high cap vampire that has lost no blood.

T4-end: Steal the high cap from your prey.
Start burning excess Zillah/Guardian (9 cards) and hope they don't choke your hand too soon.
Bring out Jacob and hope someone helps you along.
Try to play Deal with the Devil when you choke up, but when you get Deal with the Devil in turn 1 and you do not have the cards you need you should go for the discard as well.

I know having the deck spring in Turn 3 is a long shot.
I need to start 3,4 or 5th. (60%)
I need to draw a crypt with one Uta and one Keith. (86%)
I need to play either The Barrens, Fragment of Nod, Deal with the Devil Turn 1 and Zilla Turn 2 or Zilla Turn 1 (84%)I
I need to play Guardian Angel Turn 3 (85%)
So compounded that makes 33% chance of it going flawless not considering what the opponents can do.

But when it does go of you steal about 20 pool worth of vampires, and cripple both your predator and prey before they can play a villein. Also you completly ruin both of their strategies and set them back 2 turns because you steal both before their first action.

What does it do that a weenie DBR does not do better?

He's talking about a deck like this one:

www.veknfrance.com/decks/twd.htm#2010parisecq

Basically, you bring out 3-4 minions on turn 1-2, and use them to enter combat. Durign combat, play Concealed Weapon to equip with a Saturday Night Special, and shoot some agg bullets with Dragon's Breath Round. Then play graverobbing or diablerize.

It's really fast and doesn't rely on a star vampire.

I've looked at both, and made a pro con list.

Contra my deck:
- my deck is T3 instead of T2
- Less actions (only 1 rush a turn)
- More expensive
- Vulnerable to pentex

Pro my deck:
+ Less moving parts => Cardspace
+ Cardspace => Protection (20 cards devoted to this: scourge of the enochians, abbot, Alia, Neph, Deflection, Wwef, Apportation, Blood to water)
+ 1 graverob at superior
+ Not vulnerable to Scourge of the Enochians
+ Protected against combat ends with Teleppathic Tracking

Viable? No.

Without Guardian Angel in play, you can't do anything. A lot of Apportations and Flames of the Netherworld would be less sketchy combat. Just small guys with Tha who plan on going to torpor would be less sketchy. Rotschreck and intercept would be less fragile, as well.

Alia isn't playable unless someone else puts a Gehenna event in play for you to get up to two.

You Graverob a couple of vampires - then what? You have no ousting power. Unless you happen to steal someone with Tha, they can just block you all day, though they may just ignore bleeds of one as they have better things to do than block.

At best, I see causing someone else to lose while handing the game to another opponent. If your opponents don't conveniently bring out one vampire at a time who you can punk, may have no impact on the game at all.
