Thrown Sewer Lid or Slam?

I am working on a POT-Deck at the moment and wonder, if I should use rather Lids or Slams to get around possible maneuvers in other decks? Versus normal Animalismdecks and their Aid from Bat-combat Slam should be better, because after playing that card I can Immortal Grapple the other minion. I'm unsure against Guns or Ahrimanes though. What do you think?

I'm using lid now, it's really fail to use slam an then hitting air when they got one more manuever.

Depends. Are you using a lot of IG? Do you have maneuvers otherwise? Do most of your minions have POT?

If you have reliable maneuvers (Flash, say), and want to occasionally be at long, go with Lid. If your plan is to have POT and IG folks, use Slam. If you don't figure that you'll be able to out maneuver folks and just want to punch someone who runs away, and have some guys with pot, use Lid.

Yeah, the big question is:

Are you planning the "Hug & Punch" or the "Death Ninja Star" style potence deck?

Hug & Punch should be Slam, cards that give +strength, Immortal Grapple, Taste of Vitae and maybe Street Cred (which you can play before the Taste).

Death Ninja Star should be Psyches, Flash, Thrown Sewer Lids, additional strikes (probably Pursuits) and Inceased Strength to really make those lids pack an extra crunch. Taste of Vitae if you think you're likely to be losing blood to actions or reactions.

you can play both, if you play 90 cards, you can play 5 / 6 Thrown Sewer Lids ( you can unjam them while using bum's rush maneuver, and use the press of the lid ), and if you use slam as a strike ( play 8/10, a little more than your Thrown Sewer Lids), you'll use the press of the IG ..
