Legbiter's winning deck. Basically this is a clone of the "Princes of Carthage" deck that got R David Zopf to the DragonCon finals. David's modest claim that this was "just thrown together" is somewhat undermined by the fact that the deck can still do well in the hands of a different player on the other side of the pond! However, I admit I have tweaked the deck a little [more KRCs, kept the Kine Dominances, didn't increase the Carthages, changeda few of the masters]. In play it flows beautifully. The only change i might make to it now is maybe to put in a few alacritys - perhaps replacing the Sengir dagger, one of the closed sessions and one of the Bewitching Orations. This is because the only time the deck struggled was when Garry, with a decent amount of intercept, good combat and a few votes of his own, was my predator. Interestingly, this deck didn't do THAT well when we playtested it in my group last monday - i got 2VPs but also got kippered by Drummer John's fast presence-bleed deck. Admittedly that was in part because i made a FOOLISH error, but still .... guess the playgroup ain't the same thing as the tournament, eh?
