he won a framed print of the artwork for Liquefy the Mortal Coil",

:arrow: Erol Öngün won the VTES quiz held on site - after several
players had the same amount of corret answers to 12 questions that had
been asked, he correctly answered the final one - "How many vampires
do have a refernce to werewolves in their card text?" Erol got a print
of the artwork for Karen Suadela.

who played a Hermana Hambrienta Menor swarm. Bart got the obvious
prize where matters of style are concerned: A print of the artwork for

I am kinda curious to the deck Erol was playing. 3GW's and 11 victory
points before the final is quite impressive.

Were the Life in the City really useful in that deck ? Wouldn't a HG and
maybe some more Perfectionnist have sufficed and made the way for better
cards ?

Couple of reasons.
1. Buying more cards lost its appeal a while ago.
2. Becoming a father means I have a (great) other way to spend my
time.
I keep considering coming out for national championships etc. to see
people, but I always wind up doing something else instead. Showing up
would always be for meeting old friends, not for the game (which is
fine, don't get me wrong).
Start a petition, I'm sure my ego cannot resist. ;)

September so all who want to see Tobias back in the tournament scene
say "aye"
Aye

Hmmm, perhaps, Oort, but IIRC I was more interested in Cybele.
Doing fine! Busy life, wonderful son, etc.

Any chance he'd post the deck?

I have no decklist, but from what I saw it's very similar to Yannick
Gibert's aggressive version of the Nosferatu Royalty concept (as seen
in this newsgroup and Lasombra's TWDA (http://www.thelasombra.com/
decks/twd.htm#2k9grenobleqce)).

I'm a huge fan of LitC in midcap decks like this one. You're not weenie
enough to be able to just hunt left and right and not big enough to add a
reliable blood regain angle. I always find myself low on blood on my minions
after the first VP when playing midcaps LitC solves that problem perfectly.
I also find hunting grounds generally not worth it. They cost two pool, take
3 turns to break even with 1 life in the city and when you play them in,
say, turn 6, you really don't get that much out of it. Playing 3
perfectionists and 7 LitC, sure, but then we're talking preference.
That said, they have been useful all day long. Especially with the Chantry
it's extremely annoying for combat decks to just see you burn a blood or a
pool to rescue a minion, Life in the City it and just act as if nothing
happened. Granted this happened in only 1 game, but I find life in the city
a very good way to keep your minions going. Dominate tends to be expensive
late-game and without any real way to recuperate blood other than hunting
LitC is a real safer. Especially if people have Carltons, Bows, Carna's or
Unmasking's on the table. There's only so much stealth you can generate and
I rather spend it on something that hurts my prey than hunting. Also
consider that LitC can always be played, is rarely not beneficial and is a
trifle as well, so I'm effectively playing a 82-card deck. In the finals,
combined with the blood dolls, I mostly used them as "Ascendance as a
Trifle" as Ralph put it, allowing me to bloat while keeping my minions at
reasonable blood levels to to go forward.
