Deck Name: Jet Black New Year
Author: Alex Romano
Description: I have always been obsessed with using bad cards and making them good. Using the Advantage is one of those such cards. Originally, this deck probably had like five of them, because when combined with Cailean and an enkil cog you can easily get a ton of mileage out of it. As time went on I discovered that the deck in the late game is making plenty of pool without the UTA gimmick so I have cut them down to just two and in all reality it probably would be fine not being in here. Nothing too shocking here though, a very toolbox version of Cailean and in the late game it becomes very hard to oust. The tournament had what felt like an endless supply of power bleed and stealth bleed so I had to play a very deliberate second half game and let my predator get rolling at a couple of tables. If it is ever going to be a higher tier playable deck it absolutely needs more ousting power, as just blocking and bleeding for 2-3 every now and then is not near enough.

Final table was
Emily--->Giovanni Power bleed
Kai--->Caitiff/pander 1 cap computer hacking
John--->Malkavian Vote/Bleed
Craig--->419 operation
Myself--->Cailean

Fun tournament though and I came extremely close to losing the final because Emily had 2 VP and her next prey was at around 5 pool. Luckily was able to get to Le Din Tho and Gillespi Giovanni and dunk them slowing her considerably. It ended up going my way as I was very tough to stop in the endgame.
