Deck Name: Wraiths with zip guns...snip deck...

Where is Talbot's Chainsaw?

The wraith deck seems too short on wraiths to work very well.... Also, why Ashurs instead of locations to get the hand size to actually find your wraiths?

Ashurs means more Dominate in a format that practically limits the amount of Dominate you can have in a deck. As for drawing wraiths, the combat cards probably cycle out fairly quickly even if you're not actively rushing anybody.

Crafted with : Anarch Revolt Deck Builder. [Fri May 27 07:50:33 2011]


The idea here was that the best combat offense is a good combat defense - Flesh of Marble and Ignore the Searing Flames means that the vampire will be taking basically a maximum of one point of damage per round. Evil Eye can be used to counter Comas and such. Unnamed didn't enter torpor even once and all in all I think that only one of my vamps got torpored all tournament.

On the offense there is the built-in aggravated and cancelling dodges with a surprise additional strike to boot.

In this format Greater Curse basically shut down vampires as paying an extra blood for combat cards was crippling.

Aside from that, I tried to pack in a nice bleed punch as well.

Ended up as top seed in the finals and lost them basically due to a stupid mistake (I had never realized that Greater Curse indeed gives you stealth for the bleed action as well) but OTOH had the game been 10 minutes longer, I would've lost even if I had realized the stealth and ousted my prey, so can't really complain.
