Final was judged by Arthur De Lustrac.

There weren't many judging queries during the day (can you use Discern if it's tapped)
Final:
Order was
Kieran Carder, (Baron/Unre for/nec resurrection module) ->
Wlodek Chimiak, Tzimisce Prey Punisher ->
Lorenzo Melchor, Regina Shambles ->
Hugh Angseesing, Anson tap and bleed with a lot of masters ->
Norbert Flasko, !tor palla grande

Kieran started slowly but played an antediluvian awakening whilst he got Unre out.
Wlodek was able to influence Corrine and then Caliban and encourage Lorenzo to not get shambles.
Lorenzo got out Regina but ran into trouble early with a fame on Regina that went off on an Eagle’s Sighted action and required help from Hugh (p.shift pool) and Norbert (rescue)
Hugh abused some master to get Marianna Gilbert, Anson and Anneke
Norbert started his party early and got out Carter, Jost, Mercy and Remilliard whilst Kieran had only one minion.

Norbert was first to die as Hugh was able to Parity shift for 5 then bleed with 2 minions for 7. The table stabilised briefly but with Wlodek and Lorenzo decreasing pool, Kieran influenced the Baron and Mina, Wlodek stayed on Caliban & Corrine whilst Lorenzo managed to get 2 shambles (one pentexed by Wlodek) and Andrea Giovanni out.
Kieran whittled Wlodek down whilst taking some pool damage but overall being pool +ve due to burning Unre with a soulgem and dom master to the Antediluvian and getting an improved Unre.
Hugh used Anarch Troublemaker to burn the Soulgem, giving Kieran the Anrach T but hopefully minimising the tricks.
The Anarch Troublemaker acted as a impetus for Wlodek and he tried to oust Lorenzo over two turns, leaving Lorenzo at 3 pool and with 5 minions (3 shambles, Regina and Andrea) and Wlodek after 1 turn of bleeding and a new Antediluvian at 1 pool.
Kieran had 3 minions with the Baron Rotshrecked in torpor, Wlodek 2 and 1 pool, Lorenzo 5 and 3 pool and Hugh had influenced François to have 4 and 12 pool. Hugh called an Anarchist Uprising ousting Lorenzo and Wlodek and giving Kieran a vp and 6 pool (and Wlodek a VP).
He then used Marianna Gilbert to diablerise the Baron and over a succession of turns was able to whittle Kieran’s pool down who was unable to oust Hugh just with Unre and Mina.

This left Hugh the winner with 4 GW and 13.5 VPs


The winning deck:
Deck Name : Brian's Bitches go wild! (Brian being Prince of Seattle…)
Author : Hugh Angseesing/Adam Esbjörnsson
Tap and bleed with broken master module.
Should be around 80 cards but does need the anarchist and the entrancements (probably the AI too). Would suggest losing Reins to put an Enkil back in as actually thought in Warsaw and London that there was a cog somewhere in the deck….
