Riders of the Storm

Tried this deck on last Sunday's tournament and didn't work that well.
Then again it was rather heavy combat environment; for example on 3rd round all five decks on my table were combat decks (but that was the game I scored my only points during tournament; might've had momentum for more but Aleksi's Ira wall was just too strong for me)

Originally this was 81 card deck but thinned it own even more.
Probably should up the deck it a bit (to 70-75) with some bounces and even wakes.

Another angle would be to forget Thefting and exchange them to Burst of Sunlights as well as up the number of Graverobs, stealth and Heidelberg(s).

Flesh of Marble and Weather Control don't gel do they? as weather control's damage is unpreventable.

Or were you just using Flesh of Marble against opponents damage?

But it count as damage for Flesh of marble, so, all remainer damage in the round are prevented.

So the plan is to use Weather Control at only? From the crypt, it does not look so.

That's what the Thefts are for.

Combat with a 6+ cap vampire.

Round 1
A: Weather Control@:THA: + Flesh of Marble (1 damage taken here)
B: *Insert Stuff*
A: Theft of Vitae (+1 blood since the start of combat)
B: *something* (at least -3 blood)

Round 2
A: Weather Control & Flesh of Marble carry over (2 damage taken here, -1 blood since the beginning of combat)
B: *insert stuff* (at least -5 blood since the start of combat)
A: Theft of Vitae (+0 or more blood since the start of combat)
B: *something* (at least -6 blood)

Round 3
A: Weather Control & Flesh of marble carry over (3 damage taken here, -3 blood since the beginning of combat)
B: *Goes to torpor*

By hte way, Lonkka, you say there were too much combat for the deck, but it seem tailored to eat combat when you have your combo. What happened ? You had too few flesh of marble and/or weather control ? You encountered too much aggravated damage or thaumaturgic combat ?
