My main advice : stop trying to believe that milling deck work in vtes. At best, it's a bad strategy that lead you to lose. At worst, you ruin the day of your prey without being able to do anything worthwhile.

Just accept that VtES is a game where you target pool to oust, not anything else.


I got a milling deck to the finals of a big tournament once.
others have done even better:

so based on this evidence you are wrong and you obviously have no idea what you're talking about. you probably don't even play VTES in the first place. I bet you don't even really exist. where'd you go

Therbold Realty makes future Slaughterhouses free, so it should be in the deck before Spontaneous Power or Agent of Power .

Where is some way to make your actions succeed?
Call of the Hungry Dead
or
Spectral Divination
or
Monastery of Shadows ?

I'd be partial to Absimiliard's Army over most of your events {Blood Trade, Inconnu Tutelage, NRA PAC, Uncoiling, Veil of Darkness}. Let the entire table start milling themselves as soon as possible.

Local 1111 should come out. Surely you will have better actions to take, both getting the equipment and using it.

As you can see, this deck recieves a lot of negative response to this deck. I REALLY appreciate the constructive opinions, however. Therbold Realty. Less Slaughterhouse. Drop Anson. I think these are good ideas.
Let me give some more details about what I have discovered from this deck.
-It seems to attract luck in the way that I always turn up something useful from my prey´s deck. I have noticed that people rarely have any defense against their own cards.
-The negativity seems to get into player´s heads. If I play carefully, I tend to capitalize, in addition, my grand prey and others across the table usually ignore me, thinking I am only seeking a depletion of my prey´s deck (initially not the case).
-I was origionally attracted to this deck because I enjoy a game with variety. I like to encourage and try different strategies and I find success with out-of -the-box thinking.
Now as to brinksmanship... I have thought about taking it out, but I seem to brink at least one player almost every game (even without vote), usually my grand prey.
Finally, the Agaitas-Forestal thing seems to be the winning factor that has kept me from discarding the deck, as I continue to get VPs with them. I am not claiming to be a great player, I guess I am still an amateur, but I win like 65% of the time with this deck and I play here in Mexico with one group and in Vancouver, Washington with another. There is always a different meta and a variety of decks. Trust me, I wouldn´t have dared to sak you, the vtes community, if I didn´t truly believe this to be a pretty decent deck.

I was looking back at some of the suggestions and it led me to add a few comments about pst games that I remember. These involve keeping in mind that I am aware of what I lack in the game as it plays out, usually stealth, combat or pool gain. I am able to poach a surprising amount of cards, so I make it my goal to snatch these things. That said, many of the suggestions above seem worth a try.

Brinkmanship is best combined with Día de los Muertos for milling decks.
