Short report of the Final:

Martin (Ashur/Liquidation bleed) - Rolf (weenie presence) - Josef (Malkav politicians feat. Lutz) - Zsolt (Gargoyle Anarch wall feat. Alabástrom) - Bram (big hands Anarch Wall feat Matasuntha, Qawiyya, Khurshid)

Rolf's weenies started off fast and hard, Jozef had little chance to play before he was overrun. Zsolt had some time to set up the wall, and the weenies would have problems ousting him. Martin was highest seat (by dice roll), and Bram realized Martin would win if he could get 2 vps, so he decided to speed up the game and help Rolf get his second VP, and Zsolt was also ousted. After that, Rolf was ousted by Martin's stealth bleeds, although the weenies managed to block some with Elder Intervention.
Martin and Bram had the highest seatings for the finals, hence both of them still needed an oust to win; if they would draw, Rolf would be the winner, so we had a very tense endgame. The wall deck with permanent intercept, and contesting the Parthenon and Pentex, managed to slow down the Ashur/Liquidations pool gain. Eventually, Martin ran out of stealth, resulting in several torporized minions. Congratulations Bram!

I would hope there was Powerbase: LA in there to unlock those blockers.

I think the TWDA updating crew would REALLY appreciate if the entry was in that format they use. Kinda would make their volunteer job easier.

Just my 2 cents...

There are not very many anarch cards, 18 by my count.

19 (+1 being Flames of Insurection)

That's ~21% of the deck.

Additional discard when you can return stuff with Ashurs and sometimes unlock your blockers to stay there and be annoying seems viable to me.
