Toreador/!Toreador Mash-up challenge deck

Here is a deck for the Atom Weaver deck mash-up challenge. I hope lasombra adds it to the archive of mash-ups. I tried to put in the description a little bit about how to play the deck since it is meant for a new player. The pool gain is limited and I would swicth to blood dolls instead of vessels and Short term investments. I would also change the intercept package to include some enhanced senses. Perhaps .44 Magnums would be better than the guns available in the mash-up. Blood Doll, Enhanced Senses, and .44 Magnum are cards that a new player should be able to get easily from veteran players or online. More vote push cards and some combat ends would help too.

Deck Name: Toreador KoT Starter/!Toreador BH Starter Mash-up
Created by: Andy Fernandez

Description: This is a deck built from mashing up a Black Hand Toreador Antitribu starter with a Keepers of tradition Toreador starter. It is somewhat toolboxy. The first object is to get a gun. Equip it with an action or conceal it. You have no stealth and no combat ends, so the gun is imperative. Once you have the gun, take your actions to bleed or call your votes. Your pool gain is limited as well. The short term investments and vessels will help your pool. If possible, use the con boon votes for when you have 3 minions. Block wisely and bounce stealthy bleeds to your prey.

I just made a nice big comment, but my browser ate it.

Basically, -2 Raphael, +1 Sabrina +1 Venere (more affordable)

- a lot of combat cards, legal manip, Mark IV, IR goggles, PS: D.C., Disputed Territory, Bow. +1 Propaganda, -1 Revelations. +2 Under the Skin +3 Suppressing Fire.

I got it down to 80 cards, which hopefully maximizes pool gain, wakes, vote push.

Basically, -2 Raphael, +1 Sabrina +1 Venere (more affordable)

I was going to mention this. Venere and Sabrina are group 3 so they will fit nicely with the group 4 vamps. The lower cost is crucial, it might take a newer player a few games to recognize this.
