Origins/NAC: Questions of what will be popular, succesful, and your preparations

Bleeding the Vine might be a wise inclusion in todays meta.

EuroBrujah trash girls and do decent against stick men.

Anything that fights will make the Girls lose. It won't make you win, however.

Midcap DEM/AUS/obf with Sibyl's Tongue and The Rising is an excellent deck, but does require some more finesse to play than your run-of-the-mill Jackie and Midget cheese.

AAA or Arika sleaze absolutely dominate girls, unless the table starts working with them. I would gather that by now people have figured out that Girls need no help.

Revelation of Desire, as you said, combined with Revelation of Ecstasy and Enticement will be good. There's a reasonably good crypt for SER/dom/obf and it's a good way to get around bounce.

We edge closer to the Week of Nightmares and I have to admit I don't see the master heavy villein+lilith's blessing slowing down any. I think there will be plenty of smart peeps to keep the deck at bay.

I think quick action decks will be the most successful. Low to mid caps. Perhaps some 7/8 caps, but accompanied by smaller vamps typically.
