I am collecting the results from this year's NAC since the Archons are up and approved. What decks did the finalists play?
1. Jared Strait (USA) — 2 GW 6.0 VP — 3 VP — Euro Brujah
2. Darby Keeney (USA) — 2 GW 8 VP — 1 VP — “Freaking Pander”
2. Hugh Angseesing (UK) — 2 GW 7.5 VP — 1 VP — Ventrue Princes Sticks

2. Corey Porter (USA) — 2 GW 6.0 VP — 0 VP — Ventrue/Salubri Spirit Marionette Wallish

And perhaps maybe even the TWD deck by Jared??

My Daring Marionettes is posted on SecretLibrary.

I was sandwhiched between Darby and Hugh, and died to lack of wakes. I have notes from the previous rounds on the description from secret library, but the finals I felt lucky Darby didnt draw what he needed, and unlucky since I didnt either. I even opted not to leave Hughs Lodin empty and in torpor after a marionette (heidleberg) due to worrying about Pander rolling through two people abruptly.
If Darby had gotten his good setup, he wouldve had me easily. If I had gotten good setup, well, Hughs crypt shared my Dom Fort and some aus wouldve been great. But, I didnt draw enough wakes, and no amount of "almost good" stuff prepares you for that.
