I've managed to pull off a win with Arika as my predator (thank you Insurance Scam ), which was quite unexpected. The deck is nothing new, I've put it together right before the tournament, so there's definitely some room for improvement. It is quite entertaining to play, while still being somewhat challenging.

Seating in the finals:
Alek (Arika & Maris) - me (Guillaume) - Mariusz (HoS Legionnaires) - Rafał (!Nos Rush) - Piotr (Lasombra big cap bleed & vote).

Long story short, I've waited for the !Nosferatu to weaken the Legionnaires and finished Mariusz off (that was the hardest part) and later deflected Alek's bleeds to Rafał. Few turns after Mariusz was ousted I've acumulated enough resources to quickly oust Rafał and Piotr, before Alek managed to oust me.
The score was 3vp GW for me and 2vp for Alek.

Nice!

I've also managed to play Guillaume deck before Arika. No fun!
So congrats for pulling a win off in such a spot!

No fun at all. I'd be done and gone if not Insurance Scam providing pool for keeping my Parthenon.
Comes out you don't need a 15-cards hand to win, you just need to cycle them well The Arika deck was slow, so that helped a bit.
