2 GW 7,5 VPs and 3rd seed in the finals. 2,5 VPs in the finals.

Deck Name: Anson Gunz
Author: Jorge Delgado
Description: switched a little bit the crypt after the last tournament to include more weenies and seems to work better. The problem of the deck is that you strongly rely on bleeds for 1, so you need to be a little bit opportunistic with the kills and do not hesitate to deal the points on the table with someone capable to help you. If there is some deck that bloats much, do not hesitate to do whatever is needed to avoid him from bloating. Bloat = you loose.

Gratz!

Is there a need for a distinct game plan against Nephandi and Emerald Legions? Did you face any, and what were the other finalist decks?

Hi !

The seating was (in order of transfers) :

Me > Marius Iscru (!Ventrue grinder) > Serge Cirri (Palla/Embrace) > Alain Greiner (Nephandi) > Bram Van Stappen (Cybele/Aksinya/Nakhthorheb MMPA bloating S/B).

I crossed Alain during first round (he was my grand pred). My predator was playing AAA and influenced Anson as first vampire, so I had to backrush to diablerize Anson to be able to get him out myself (took me like 7 turns because there were some weenies to protect him + rescues crosstable). I really wanted to deal with another crosstable budy (playing Osebo) but he didn't want to make deals with me (he chose to help the AAA instead to don't give a VP to Alain). So since the beginning I was playing against 3 players (prey/pred and crosstable Osebo), I had to deal with Alain a table split (GW 2,5 VPs for me and 2 VPs for him).

So no, no special plan against Nephandi, since with guns they are pretty easy to kill (if predator or crosstable). If they are your prey it's a little harder since you do not have enough punch to oust them fast and you might need help from someone else.

I never encountered Emerald Legions so far, but the rule of thumb : if predator backoust as fast as possible. If elsewhere on the table, they should not be a big problem (you can even crosstable lower them on pool with votes).

Congrats on a well deserved win

Thanks Martin !

Hope to see you in Warsaw in a couple of weeks.

Another reason why .44 (or concealed weapon) is very powerful. @Kraus (also Deflection , check).
