-- 1gw4 + 2vp in final

Deck Name: Psalm 69
Description: Ministry multi-act bleed vote.

This deck is light on transient stealth and will need to be adjusted for you meta. It does have three permanent stealth options, which helps mitigate the light stealth.

Thanks to Darby for critical deck advice that helped with the finals victory.

Me 2 VP ->
Bill Tupdog vote and Legionnaires 1 VP ->
Mark Banu Haqim toolbox ->
Ben Peal Ministry starter ->
Kelly Beefcake block 2 VP

I was not very pleased with any spot on the table, but having faced Kelly in round one,
hoped that I could gain 3 VPs or 2 VPs in a split and win via seeding. I managed to do
the latter.

Ben and I discussed vampires because we were both playing Ministry. We had two
duplicates, so split them. I got the weaker one, but wasn't going to argue as he didn't
have any of the titled Ministers in his uncontrolled region.

Bill proceeds to vote and bleed his prey off the table. First by having the only votes on
the table and then via Dia + Cryptic Rider.

Bill had 10 pool when I started my next turn and he was threatening me with Mark of the
Damned if I bled him. That would have ousted me, but I had no such intention on holding
off. I asked Kelly about calling a Reckless Agitation and he wasn't down for it, so I
Pentexed his Matthias and proceeded to go about my business. I ousted Bill that turn and
with Matthias, who had the Bowl, in Pentex, Ben made hay with his pool.

I contested Marcel with Ben and proceeded to whittle his pool down. Three times Kelly
saved Ben with Eagle's Sight, resulting in two torporized vampires.

I started my last turn with 4 pool, Ben at 2 and Kelly at 5. I stopped contesting Marcel.
Paid 1 pool to recur Memory Rift via Garibaldi and paid two pool to put Anarch Railroad in
play, leaving myself at 1 pool with one vampire with 1 blood.

I proceeded to call Ancilla Empowerment with the Memory Rift instead of bleeding. Ben had
used several Party of out Bounds to reduce bleeds. Since both Platinum Protocol and a
vote both start at one stealth, I decided I had better odds passing a vote than bleeding
as Ben would need two Parties to stop me. Kelly would be able to use Eagle's Sight for
intercept instead of at superior, so that was a negative. Kelly attempted to block, but
failed. I burned 2 of my 3 Propaganda of the Deed to pass the vote and ousting both Ben
and myself in the process.

Achievement Unlocked: Win a Final by Self-Ousting.
