Deck Name : The Bleeding Vignes
Author : Tim Smith
Description :
A very slightly tweaked version of Ruben Feldman's original "The Bleeding Vignes" deck. Added Owain Evans for increased table talk, bargaining power and blood management. Archon Investigation and Direct Intervention for added defence against uncontrollable heavy bleeders and for protection directly after lunging.

Thanks for running the event Steve.
A brief report:

Ben O'Neill: auspex block w/ succubus
Steve Wedd: weenie potence rush
Tony Wedd: new Ventrue vote
Tim Smith: Edward Vignes bleed
Me: ShaEnnu bleed

Mostly everyone was scared of the potence deck. The auspex deck made a deal not to go forward to keep his minions alive. The auspex deck was a bad prey for me. With lots of minions, Will-o-wisp is expensive.(My plan is Fiendish Tongue w/ Will-o-wisp w/ Enkil Cog) In fact I got blocked and lost all my blood. Golconda'd in my turn, but eventually was bled out by Tim. The rush deck got the vote deck. And then it timed out. Tim won by being top seed.
Congrats to Tim!
