Brutal Influence Obfuscate

www.vekn.net/index.php/forum/9-event-reports-and-twd/4870-twd-gamex-4-gift-of-sleep-in-los-angeles-ca-may-29th-2011 put Brutal Influence back in my mind.
But I prefer the bleed stealth angle, for practical reasons.

How do you intend to oust?
Bleeding with stealth for a lot using Brutal Influence. Exile can be used to remove a deflecting minion before the killing move. Or Enkil Cog to avoid an Archon Investigation.

How do you intend to keep from being ousted?
Bloating using Villein + cheap vampires with Brutal Influence. Resist combat using Aid from bats / Sleep Unseen (since Kamiri wa Itherero is a kind of star). The Kholos to have a word to say in votes (in addition to the Oruns)

What do you want your ready region to look like (ie, how many guys are you planning on getting out)?
Kamiri at least with 6 Orun, with 3 blood, an extra skill. Other vampires (as many as possible)


What do you want your average turn to look like?
Kamiri plays BI at superior for 6 blood on a vampire, another bleeds for 7.

What's your metagame like? How do your opponents play?
A lot of allies decks these day. Kamiri's special can be handy.

What problems have you observed with the deck in play?
Not tested yet. Needs construction advices to see if everything is ok.


Deck Name : Brutal Influence obfuscate
Author : Ankha
Description :
I put the Info Highway and Dreams to get out Kamiri in two turns. I use the Lilith's Blessing to Villein and get back some blood.
Nana doesn't have obfuscate, but she's cool and may get a skill card.
Out of the 36 masters (!), 23 are trifle. Maybe a Golconda could get in, as well as a Coven.

Sound like an epic fail. I don't know how I missed that point.

Yes, but he is an 11 cap, meaning it will require 3 turns of influence.
With Dreams and Mbare, a 10-cap such as Kamiri could have get out in 2 turns.

And Kamiri is so cool ...
I'll give a try with Lucian.
