Deck Name: Water Dog - Illegal Tactics
Author: Kelly Lyons

Description: My prince, Norm Brown, won a tournament in Vidor in 2022 with a Brujah Illegalism Deck. He relied on Reckless Agitation as a second action. Here is his deck list.

vdb.im/decks/10090

It was good. I, however, have never been a big fan of Reckless Agitation as Karl Schaefer knows. We’ve had that debate. Instead, I prefer Line Brawl. The ability to bleed with Illegalism unlock then Line Brawl for a pool is just too good. Line Brawl also, gives you an enters combat action and even +1 bleed action. It is the best Brujah action card for anarchs.

I agree with Norm when it comes to Chemistry discipline cards. You get that extra stealth plus it allows you to Dabbler so, if you get blocked with Illegalism you can unlock and still do Line Brawl.

I added a couple of CrimethInc. cards for more unlock. Saku and Valeriya have protean and if you get lucky Brandon Grime has thaumaturgy. That’s why there is 2 of him in the crypt.

Archon Investigation helped me burn a vampire in Round 1.

Round 1
I added 2 X Patsy in the deck to remove prince titles. It paid off in Round 1 were Norm was playing a Banu Haqim Deck. I knew I was going to get my prey So, I crossed tabled him with Patsy so he couldn’t block me after I ousted my prey. Funny thing is I drew into anther one and got 2 of his princes. I topored the third one. Ousted my prey then Norm and took the table.

Round 2
I lost. Big time.

Final Table
I was in the 5th position playing first. Seems like I’ve been in the 5th position playing first lately.

Kelly Lyons- Brujah Illegalism
Anne Boje – Tzmisce
Marshall Hogue – Primogen
Chris Franklin – Protean Barons
Oscar Grza III – Lasmobra

The table was pretty even. Everyone was doing damage to everyone else. However, Chris was going to be ousted on the next turn. I, being the only one who helped him, was given a reprieve from his last action of “F### You All”. Chris called an “Eat the Rich”. He placed 4 damage on everyone else but me. On my next turn I swept the table.

Side Note: I really liked Marshall’s Deck. Need a deck list from him.
