Congrats to Mark Jasper for his victory, he managed to get 1.5VP, and while tying with Ian, he came into the round as higher seed.

Rounding out the field were Darby, Sagan, and Julian.
Frankly, by the time the game ended, it was 1am, and this old brain can't hold anything from that late at night. Hoping some of the players can provide some much needed context and edutainment about this game and tournament in general.

This is a deck I’ve been playing with and tweaking for a while. It’s a stealth bleed deck with lots of anti-bounce (Revelations, Touch of Clarity, and Soul Decoration) and multi-discipline cards to maximize the use of all six of Unmada’s disciplines (he can play Forced March!) and get extra actions or blood for him with Dabbler. This deck really flows. Unmada's ability is just amazing for cycling through and getting the needed Villeins, stealth, Enkil Cog, and a Dabbler every game. I often get close to or completely through the 90 cards. Madman’s Quill is perfect for Dabbler. If anybody tries to block it as a bleed you can trigger Dabbler with a obfuscate stealth card or play Changeling for an additional bleed if nobody blocks. 3 Disciplines used either way. It needs someone to block it at superior, but if not, you can likely play Forced March to unlock and just get a blood from Dabbler instead. There used to be more Soul Decorations and a Hide the Mind or two for canceling Auspex bounces/intercepts, but with current meta having way less big eyeballs, I removed the Hide the Mind and reduced the Soul Decorations to 2 copies. There is a decent package of reactions to bounce or reduce bleeds or fail a vote with superior Wrong and Crosswise. I failed 2 votes in the first round when I drew both copies of them early.
