Deck Name: Windy City Wide-Boys Created by: Legbiter Concept: Chicago Blood-Brothers Theme deck, surprisingly effective rush/prevent deck with Fame and Walk of Caine for the Killer Blow. CRYPT [12 vampire cards] Barry x 3 Jerry x 3 Larry x 3 Tom x 3 LIBRARY [65 cards] MASTERS [11]: Blood Doll x 3 Fame Fortitude Haven Uncovered x 2 Information Highway Potence Powerbase: Chicago [just in here for the theme, but works pretty well] The Rack [try to get this onto Jerry, ie the guy who can pass his blood around] MINION CARDS [54] DISCIPLINELESS[17] Bum's rush x 7 Forced Awakening x 3 Pulled fangs Taste of Vitae x 2 Wake with Evening's freshness x 4 FORTITUDE [13] Freak Drive x 2 Indominability x 2 Resilience Rolling with the Punches Skin of Rock Skin of Steel x 2 Superior Mettle x 2 Unflinching Persistence x 2 POTENCE [12] Immortal Grapple x 3 Increased Strength x 2 Mighty Grapple x 2 Thrown Sewer Lid x 2 Torn Signpost Undead Strength x 2 SANGUINIS [13] Brother's blood Coagulated entity Coordinate Attacks x 2 Octopod x 5 Unwholesome Bond Walk of Caine x 2 i played this deck in our second game at Rob's house last week and got squashed [Rob and Michael tied 2 each, with Rob last man standing], but i tried it again last night in our pub game and got 3/4 VP. Most unfortunately, indeed quite literally tragically, Rob had to leave before play started, having learned of the sudden death of a close friend. So it was a sober four-player in which i went second. My predator was John Keech playing Tremere intercept-combat [i know, i know. i did try to tell him], and i preyed on John Eagles playing Lasombra toolbox, who was preying on Mark Baxter playing Toreador/!Toreador bleed-and-vote. John Keech could have given me problems with his go-to-range and toast stuff, but luckily for me he was quickly out to Mark's big bleeds and even more luckily Mark had to use up quite a lot of his combat-avoidance cards in the process. Meanwhile i was remorselessly kicking John Eagles in, eventually managing the Fame-rush combo plus a Walk of Caine. Judicious use of Larry's special backed up by rushes got Mark down to his Alexandra's, so he rescued one vampire in torpor, and i pounced with another Walk of Caine. All over in an hour, BRUTALLY efficient. This deck BTW is inspired by Rob's Torrance circle BB deck with which he SQUASHED John Keech and i before Christmas.
