THE BLACK HAND

THE BLACK HAND: ASSAMITE/GANGREL DECK IDEA
 
i've been liquidating a bunch of old decks that we don't play with 
any more and have started to build or rebuild a few new decks. 
Here's one that has a gangrel angle though not, i have to admit, 
an antitribu one. The idea of this deck is to get the opportunity 
to deal out ranged unpreventable damage that can't be SCE'd and 
can only be dodged if the opposing minion has additional strikes.  
Basically you do this by getting the Dog Pack onto an Assamite, 
either via Panagos/Heidelberg or else via Clan Impersonation. 
Pool gain and speed are problems for this deck and hence the 
Succubus club [so that you can blackmail other methuselahs or 
hire yourself out to them - an old idea i got from William Lee] 
and multi-blood dolls.
