The basic idea is to use Madness Network actions to rush OOT and strike for agg damage, so that you can whack a rotschreck on to Kibosh SCE and damage prevention decks. Some judgement is required in playing the Rotshrecks since you have to play them simultaneously with the strikes, and you only get one Rotshreck per time round the table. Then you use weenies to diablerise [or you block and diablerise].It works BRILLIANTLY. At the last Portsmouth tournament there were two decks like this, and mine got 5 and Rob Treasure's got 12 in the heats. Then wecontested each other to death in the final. It's doubtful whether Rob willever speak to me again as a result, but i honestly had no choice - my then version of the deck ABSOLUTELY relied on Greger Anderssen. Apart from reducing its reliance on the toothsome Prince of Stockholm, i also adoapted the deck in view of the fact that William Lee's !Nos "Cailean says the range is LONG" deck beat me up quite badly in two of the heats there [A Lasombra Shadow step deck would do the same thing, of course]; so i decided to put in a bit of LR agg dam. Here roughly is the deck as it currently stands: CRYPT: 3 x Greger Anderssen 2 x Whatsisponsyface, Prince of Monaco 2 x Zebulon Victoria Watenda Dollface Normal Brazil 4 x Madness Network 7 x Rotshreck 2 x Tribute to the Master 4 x Protean 2 x Fame The Rack 12 x Bum's Rush 4 x Progeny 4 x Swallowed by the Night 2 x Rapid Change 9 x Second Tradition: Domain 4 x Precognition 2 x Eagles' Sight 2 x Homunculus Ivory Bow White Phosphorous grenade 13 x Claws of the Dead 3 x Flesh of marble 6 x Form of the Ghost 2 x Body of Sun As you see, a VERY focussed combat deck whose [almost incidental] Plan B is swarm bleed. Rob's deck is similar but not quite so focussed on combat. We more- or-less evolved the concept independently, i believe, though of course one talks about decks during tournaments and passes ideas around.
