question-circle Starter Deck Combination- Malkavian Stealth/Bleed

02 Sep 2015 20:07 #72887 by Baron_Sengir
Hello everyone,

New to the forum and hoping a few of the more knowledgeable players can lend me a hand here. I've a decent collection of Jyhad cards, and am most fond of the ubiquitous Malk stealt/bleed deck. I've an awfully old list, which contains Jyhad cards only and respects a four card limit. A few folks have organized some games in our area and I've purchased two starters to build a new deck (with more current cards). All this said, I'm curious what people's thoughts are on a deck list made ONLY of cards from:

1 Malkavian Black Hand anti tribu starter
1 Malkavian 3rd Ed anti tribu starter

10x kindred Spirits, 9x Eyes of Chaos feels like a start. What else?

Thanks for helping out in advance! Here's a link to the starter lists: vtesone.wordpress.com/decks/pre-constructed-decks/

There are two archetypes of Malk B&S using dementation:
- weenie dem (lower crypt) where all the stealth is generated through Dementation cards
- classic dem / obf

Obviously, you must try to build the second type of deck, considering the contents of the starters.
  • 10x Kindred, 9x Eyes means around 20 actions
  • I'll put as much stealth including the 4 Swallowed by the Night for combat defense.
  • 4 Blood Doll, 1 Effective Management, 1 Hunting Ground, 1 Secure Haven and Malkavian Games if you want to make the table laugh and gain friendly points.
  • 1 The Call, 2 Escaped Mental Patient
  • about 12 reaction cards including 4 wake cards.

That should be a good start.

10 Kindred Spirits
1 The Call

Action Modifier (26)
6 Cloak the Gathering
8 Eyes of Chaos
6 Faceless Night
6 Lost in Crowds

Reaction (10)

4 Telepathic Misdirection

My crypt is a bit heavier than I'd like, but that is due to the selection I'm given in the starters. AUS vamps can play defense while those with dem should aim to bleed away. For political clout, I'm relying heavily on the various titled vampires in my crypt. 60 cards keeps the deck streamlined, but does run the risk of running out of cards.

I would swap out 1 of the Forced Awakenings for 2x On the Qui Vive. Also, add the 1x Secure Haven — you can oust with 1x minion remaining.
