DeSalle Spoiled the Punch: Show of Force Bruise Bleed

All good points in favor of adding a haven uncovered. I may consider DI as well.

Play report: Grooming the Protege is awesome for speed. The bloat is still quite weak so I am thinking of adding more Spoils of War. Iron Glare goes in instead of Aire of Elation because I typically get DeSalle and Dan out every game. I should probably find room for a couple of Abbots - even though my combat is pretty weak when blocking, it's better than losing 3-4 pool to a Bonding or Resist Earth's Grasp.

Hi man.

Could you post the current list of the deck?

Big thanks,
Tiago

I forgot to add Abbots.

Deck Name: DeSalle Spoiled the Punch
Author:
Description:
Bruise-bleed deck based on Show of Force. Bleed for 2-3, hands for 2-3 on every action. The +1 strength from Show of Force has good synergy with the presses from Immortal Grapple and Mighty Grapple (a different crypt might prefer additional strikes). Stay in the game by gaining pool with Blood Doll, Grooming the Protege, and Spoils of War. Recoup blood with Spoils of War and Taste of Vitae.

I actually rather like Mighty Grapple. some players get cheeky and think blocking with a Sniper Rifle makes them invincible, not expecting to see a press from potence.

You don't depend on them, but you still might need a few Torn Signposts that you can save for important combats, or when you have to block. Also I think some Pulled Fangs or more Disarms can help you out in the long run.

I don't think Fame helps at all if you can't rush. that vampire will never block you. a Dragonbound or extra copy of Tension would be far better, or even any other master card to boost defense...

That is precisely why it is in the deck.
