So within last year I have started playing this game at last in earnest. For a year I've been playing in local gaming group and have slowly started to catch how to play this game. But it is only now that I have started to visit also local tournaments (now that they are being organized again anyway) and hopefully soon I have chance to take part in bigger tournaments that are being held in main cities of Finland. I have several tournament-class decks but as I am most familiar with this kind of Kiasyd-decks I considered best to start trying my luck with something like this. In my gaming group Finnish Politics is awfull reality and people tend to boggle quite badly when they even detect something stealthy and bleedy nearby, starting games more often than not by annihilating bleeding decks from the table alltogether before anything else. I realize that in bigger tournaments there is more diversity but on local level I have somewhat problem faring against all those rush decks. Thus I have tried to hasten the tempo of the deck by tuning it down to 70 cards.

All things considered I would ask you how this deck is looking and what to change? Also I would grandly appreciate any tips of how to fare with this kind of deck in grander tournaments as well as in my local potence-hell.

Deck looks good. I just think that kind of bleed deck works much better with 4-5 group. Marconius makes group 2 shine but needs IMO bit different deck. I would put a lot more Faerie Wards to the deck. That card is made for Marconius. Potence hell hates Faerie Wards and Fae Contortion so you could try make your deck more defensive for your meta. Adding some Nocturns to block rushes is good idea too. You spend very much blood with that deck so consider dropping some Conditionings, Shadow Play and Deflections (8x in 70 card deck is very much for fighty meta).

I think you need two different decks if your meta is very fighty, one for tournament and other for your meta. For tournament play I would drop all combat ends and plan your defence with more faerie wards. Also I would make bleed package more diverse, 6x Condioting is just asking to be bounced. Drop by weekly games in Helsinki if you live nearby.

You got the idea right. Tuning the deck is just a matter of personal taste and meta, so instead of commenting on your deck, I'll just post an alternative here so you can see a different flavor of Kiasyd bleed.

This deck is (mostly) a rip-off from Ben Peal's extremely succesfull Kiasyd bleeder. The idea of it, is that Gremlins+Bonding is a bleed for 3 on 2 stealth that will never ever clog your hand. The deck can steadily bleed for 3-5 with each minion each turn, while the Suddens make sure your prey doesn't gain pool. Ever. Governs should be played at superior whenever possible.

Nocturns provide chump blockers for rushes and if you get blocked, Fae Contortion, Shroud of Absence and Stone Travel usually get you out of trouble. As added bonus Gremlins at inferior gets rid of pesky guns too.

It's a ridiculously strong deck.

// Note that I made it a point to have 77 cards and 7 copies of as many cards as I could manage while still keeping the deck effective. I'm convinced there are (slightly) better card ratios, but I liked that little touch

If you're seeing a lot of smallish-cap potence, a lot of your guys have Dominate... so why not pack some Obediences? Most of those decks rely on "potence stealth" and not real stealth, so you could probably get to block them and follow it up with Obedience to save you combat cards and nerf their shennanigans.

If they have a lot larger caps, then it might be worth including a Secure Haven just so you can keep someone alive.

If your local game is very rush-(un)friendly, I would think of changing your deck a little bit:

- Add 2 Jake Washington (hunter), which helps either to pump up thirsty vampires or block nasty rush.

- Add 4-6 nocturns to block or bleed.

- Add 2-4 faerie wards

You can gain slots by taking out ( only an example, there are multiple choices)

- 1 blood doll + 1 palatial estate

- 1-2 obliette, 1 aura or fae, 1 riddle, 1 conditioning

- 2-3 deflection

To stop rush: Nocturn and Obedience. Consider Secure Haven and/or Chanjelin Ward as well as the suggested Jake Washington.
