file Wreckless (High cap/Alastor/graverobbing)

05 Feb 2015 14:17 - 05 Feb 2015 16:05 #69093 by 2wayspeaker
How do you intend to oust?
I sacrifice a lot for speed.
I intend to oust by getting out a lot of vampires to do normal bleeds.
I will get more minions to bleed with by stealing them (graverobbing/far mastery)

How do you intend to keep from being ousted?
Profit from high caps with freak drive Mary Ann.
Defend politics by getting an insane amount of votes ((1+2+3+5)*2=22) really early,
Defend combat by torporing and stealing minions.

What do you want your ready region to look like (ie, how many guys are you planning on getting out)?
The whole crypt. Mary Anne first, Gustav and Orlando early game for votelock, Epikasta Dmitra and Gabrielle mid to late game.

What do you want your average turn to look like?
Equipping Mary Ann with something fearsome (AK,Flamethrower) so people are less likely to block.
Early: Villein -> Zillah, Mary Ann Ability -> Freak Drive -> Govern, Bring out new high cap.
Vampires that are in my crypt are stolen first so I won't even need to contest.
Mid game: Rushing, bleeding and stealing. Negotiating other refendums in my benefit.
Late game: Recovering health with Dmitra and Gabrielle. Recovering actions with Epikasta.

What's your metagame like? How do your opponents play?
Tournament, I would like to play this at a tournament.

What problems have you observed with the deck in play?

Edit 1 : Added Govern because I cannot multiact a minion text.
Edit 2 : Extra question.
I feel like I should play things like
Sabbat Threat - damage the table
First Tradition - damage the table
Ancilla Empowerment - damage the table
Elder Kindred Network - damage a voting deck by lying to vote in favour.

Don't play Sabbat Threat, it's not good. Better to put more parity shifts, ancilla or kine resources contested.
Elder Kindred network is even worse, usually you wouldn't have a chance to play this card and it will sit in your hand. Just anything will be better.
What do you need 3 x Far Mastery for? Is your meta game so full of allies? In a 60 card deck I would keep max. 1 copy. Additionally, most of your vampires have Presence, so entrancement would be better as you can use it to bleed in case there are no allies around to steal. In this case playing more than one copy is not a problem.

9 out of your 12 vamps have superior presence. Dump all your far mastery for entrancement, at least you can use them for bleed.

Game summary
My prey was a PRO/FOR combat anarch vote hybrid, slow but dangerous to get into combat with. My prey also didnt move forwards (valkyries) and always had 2 or 3 untapped minions.
My predator was a mid cap Praxis seizure vote deck, also slow for a table stacked with 4/5 vote decks so he resorted to bleeding with modifiers.
Mary Anne Blair got pentexed on turn 3 after the table was able to prevent the first Alastor. Table was not a fan of possibly getting rushed with a flamethrower. I brought out Epikasta and Orlando. But Epikasta's title got contested, leaving me 3 vampires unable to play second tradition.
I was unable to remove the pentex by myself, so I received a crosstable Giant's Blood and pentex removal in exchanche for parity shifting on my crosstable's behalf.

Analysis

I was unable to oust with bleeds because of torpor threat.
Graverobbing was useless.
Fourth Cycle was useless.
I was annoyed by people using combat ends effects against my Assault rifle.
But I also didn't die, and at 2h40min I had 3 high caps, votelock and 11 pool with 20 cards left in deck.
Card flow was smooth and I was able to succesfully dissuade my predator once I got my titles back.
I also made a lot of bad plays in hindsight.
I had insufficient stealth to bleed & remove pentex.

Proposed card changes
- 1 Gabrielle di Righetti
+ 1 Lodin (Olaf Holte)

- 3 graverobbing
- 1 Heart of Nizchetus
- 1 Fourth Cycle, The

+ 1 NSA trio
+ 1 Voter Captivation
+ 1 misdirection (one less blocker)
+ 2 Kine Resources Contested

What could I do for an easy permanent +1 or +2 stealth? I would prefer something very card efficient, like 2 copies tops.

Is it possible to cycle actions from your own graveyard back into my hand or deck? I could'v played Erciyes Fragments with great succes this game, but it isn't a shure thing.

In the game I played, described above, I couldv slammed a lot of people (prey, predator, crosstable) for over 10 pool with this card when they wanted to cycle their vote cards. But I agree, like Erciyes Fragments, it wouldn't always be able to pull it's weight.

creepshow casino and some perfect paragons - they work as a vote push too.
And where is pentex!? It's a MUST in a deck like this
