Dominique Anarch Wall-box

Deck Name : DOMINIQUE
Author :
Description :

How I intend to oust?

Well, "Wall" here may be a gross exaggeration. It's more of a toolbox, really. The oust is most likely going to come from constant bleeds for 2 via Steely Tenacity, complemented with Constant Revolution, Smiling Jack and Army of Rats. Lots of poking, essentially, until they die.

How do I intend to survive?

Permacept mostly, combined with a fair amount of wakes and Powerbase: L.A.for the untap. Combat is a mixed bag but generally dodge + add via Hell, +1 strength + press via Tenacity is quite nice. Combine this with either WWS and/or Murder and it's basically grinding.

The Board:

Dominique and/or Alejandro along with a 4-cap and a Convert or two. I'm hoping to have 3-4 minions in play, waiting out the early game then moving forward with Tenacity bleeds once the blood on the table starts becoming scarce. Like most wall decks, I run the usual Montreal, Rack, Jack in addition to Revolution and Rats thus having lots of resources spread out which cost the table precious actions if they want to deal with them. The Status Perfectus along with The Rack is very nice.

General Thoughts:

It does require some time to set up but the combat package is quite efficient. It's not going meant to dunk quite as efficiently but does a good job in grinding blood off of opposing vampires while allowing my guys to survive more often than not (dodge from Hell and Diversion prevent/man). I haven't played it yet, however, and have only messed around with ARDB in checking out initial hand draws. It does look like it will flow rather well, often starting off by wanting to employ Murder. If blocked, cycle combat. If not, there's enough wakes to react, hopefully block and cycle combat. Anarch Revolt should probably be in here but I haven't been able to squeeze it in yet. About running three Revolutions, well, I'm not a dedicated block deck so they will tend to burn. I figure I'd just play another XD

EDIT: Like all my decks, this will die to Grapple/Additional combat decks but what are ya gonna do?

Change the fresh wakes for forced awakening, change one convert for non advance dominique. And since when toolbox and wallish decks are playing with 70 cards? Seems kinda not a great idea.

edit: and why not play few groundfightings? imo very usefull

That's the beauty of permacept. Steely Tenacity is also reusable. I don't need to run 90 cards. Alright about wakes.

no conditioning with a crypt like this ? 5 of them is not a bad idea, and most people will play with keeping in mind the fact that conditioning will hit the table anyway, so prepare to get bashed...

And just to say : Alejandro Aguirre + Neighborhood watch commander is very good to deter foolish actions. Tried and true.

Nice! Yeah, but what to remove? I can go up to 75-76 cards but do not want to go beyond that. Neighborhood Watch seems like a good idea. How many would you run?

I would add an Anarch Revolt, Metro Underground, and possibly another way to gain blood - maybe Corporate Hunting Ground or Hospital Food.
