Deck: Jibade's Crew
Pullen
Created by: Pullen
Description: Jibade assembles his crew ( the Ghoul Retainers) gears
them up with and then bleeds with the help of the Despirals. Right now
the combat is a little weak and some better pool gain would be nice,
as would any thoughts on the deck.

one word, I love it.
However i would add some blood dolls/vessels, but since your deck has
90 cards i don't know what to remove. Does this deck run smooth? If it
does, maybe I'll build it.

Nice idea, you might have use for PB: Luanda and perhaps Blessing of
Chaos.
Would Despiral be better as Heart of the City?

here's a deck i made that went through similar ideas with Aye and
Imbued. i strongly recommend bloat, especially if you are not going to
run imbued for bounce and have no other means to do so. i'd dump 2
Ghoul Retainers for 2 Ghoul Messengers and a fist full of Dolls to let
your other non-superstar minions "facebook" each other to net you
pool.
besides Jibade, is there a 2nd target for Aye, so as to wake? or is it
all for Jibade? why 8 instead of 6 or 9? i'd still include wakes here
regardless. i don't understand your Static Virtues all that much; tell
us how they are working for you. i'd likely go 6 Aye, 3 Orun, 2 Static
Virtue, personally. 1 vote is nice, and if SV kicks in ideally you get
2 Aye + 2 Orun for Jibade. 1-2 Supernatural Resistance might be
worthwhile as well, and again burn clause helps; cancel retainer steal
targeting Jibade or null that inconvenient discipline combat strike,
etc.
i'd likely drop all Concealed for 3 Jack of Both Sides (+2 stealth
equip or retainer + -1 pool/blood cost) and 2 Anonymous Freight (+3
stealth equip). throw in a few more High Aye because stopping a 4 or 5
stealth action is pretty hard, and they burn so fast they are
negligible hand cramp (though they cost slots, like everything). with
Uncontrolled Impulse on top as a first action, the gear is pretty much
yours. i've just never really had much success with so many Concealed
-- i like it as a "Hail Mary" pass, not as reliable tech. personal
tastes, i guess.
oh, sorry, here's my deck, btw. hope some ideas help. i learned quite
a bit on what works and what doesn't.
Deck Name : 60 card High Aye vote
Author : Azel
Description :
collapses to dedicated combat and a table full of royalty. bloat could
be stronger, but be careful, blood becomes a premium right quick. the
imbued grant bounce, chump blockage to trump combat, and extra bleed,
which is nice. the deck needs more wakes though, straight up.
it doesn't need to be a 60 card deck. the reason was to figure out how
fast it would take to get out Aye + High Aye or imbued + Determine
bounce. further, to see how Ashur Tablets help such a fast deck (in
theory) recoup. Aye takes about 3 turns at fastest (bring out Lumumba
1st turn, Aye up w/ a MPA left over on the 3rd turn). but it averages
out to around turn 5. the spare permanent wake effect is nice, but
blood intensive. imbued bounce is great to pull out ASAP, however,
you'll still likely die to dedicated S&B. it was a nice thought, but
doesn't really hold back the tide. does nicely to flick away Govern/
Condition bleeds in theory, but never faced that in trying it out.
Ashur Tablets were not enough bloat to survive, and the deck is
matchup dependent. add 4 if you must, stick to a clutch of Blood Dolls
in replacement.
too many Voter Caps in here. Bewitchings also slow down cycling. you
are rarely going to survive the push against a large table with oodles
of titles. might as well throw in a few weak votes, like Finding the
Path, and beg for help, or use Awe. Those Who Endure Judge is pretty
decent because unlike Bewitching it cycles out faster in a dead-in-the-
water situation of too many titles on table. looking back, this deck
doesn't need to be so focused on PRE.
also, this deck could use crypt focus. i'd pick Aren and Ubende. let
Aren and another store the Aye; you'll likely get 2 minions w/ 3 Aye
running somewhere by turn 7ish. Ghoul Messenger does a great job
refilling people and leaving everyone untapped, if it works. i'd add
another copy so i wouldn't care about 1 burning. in the future, i'd
increase deck size a bit (70 or 80 might still work 9 Aye well,
dunno), run Bambas, tighten and make smaller crypt, and add more pool
management -- relying on Voter Cap pool bloat w/ <8cap, not so strong.
