Christian Nislev's Tournament Winning Deck with 3 VPs in the Final

Deck name: A Twist of Madness
Author: Christian Nislev (all credit goes to to Ben Peal and Keith Page of course...)
Description: The classic Henry Taylor-twister deck where Henry ends up blocking everything and ousting with Smiling Jack. I felt the deck was a bit too passive, so added Clan Impersonation and Madness Network which allows for some serious end game bleed punch with Anima Gathering and Earth Control stealth. Bleeding at the end of your predator's turn gives you the edge and a pool which pays for Jack. 31 cards is too much, but there's some nifty mechanics that adds flexibility to the classic deck.
