great works guys!

Also I find copy paste values a great way of fixing the archon...

Oh, and before we get any more detailed information, Petteri was playing Sha-Ennu bleed/box/something, and Reetta was recruiting Shamblers with Guillaume Giovanni. Sorry, I should've shared this info in the beginning. I'm inquiring their decklists right now - let's hope they still have them written down somewhere.

It was fun tournament (thank you again for the organizers and also to all participants!), and Kraus was very right about me panicing on the end of the final - I was already surprised really much to even get to the final, but then when I managed to oust twice, I was so over helmed that I wasn't able to keep my game together. Originally, I was thinking about to bring out one new vampire if I oust my prey, but having two ousts just messed my head up... I also let the out-game whispers ("Hell no, obfuscate-presence stealth bleed CAN'T win the National Championships!") get under my skin, which was maybe the most stupid thing I made. There were few really big mistakes that I made on game, but well, have to learn from this.

Also, as Lönkka said, this was my first deck that I have done all by myself; but also to be 100% honest, it's the 3rd version from it - tested the first version once in Helsinki, second version on GothCon. It started as something little different, but did get simplified on to this.

I like your deck. I find it amazing how often I have to say after a game: "Wow, how much did I make wrong again." You will always make mistakes. Of course the goal is to minimize the number and lessen the severity .

Did you consider to add one or two Khobar Towers? It's a neat emergency tool if times get rough and you play enough FoS enabling you to bring it into game.

Do you plan to fix the Archon?

Not exactly. We tried to fix it during the tournament

To fix it, open another copy of a blank Archon.
Put in only the correct information.
Repeat for each page.

Does Robyn (or anyone) input ratings anymore? Sorry, it is off topic from the OP, but seems relevant to this tangent.
