Hugh Angseesing's Winning Deck
==============================
Deck Name: Americano Mafiaoso
Author: Hugh Angseesing & Ze Germans
Description: Generally pretty strong - doesn't like too much
combat (lost 5 Nephandus in one game to theft
and guns combo). Simple plan, get out Antonio
and one of his support and build up for a bit
then start moving forward. Ankara Citadel is very
strong especially when Narrow Minds hits the table.

Hugh Angseesing's Winning Deck
==============================
Deck Name: Dualism in America
Author: Hugh Angseesing & Marko Lindroos
Description: Very flexible deck based upon Marko's Dualism deck.
Main changes are reducing the dual forms by three
as I was seeing far too much combat in the previous
week's games. 2x Powerbase Barranquilla were also
replaced for Chicago and a blood doll as I much prefer
Chicago. Meant to change the crypt for more Malabranca's
but never got around to it. Would then drop the Guarded
Rubrics, as I never seem to draw it when I have Ondine anyway.

Matt Morgan's Winning Deck
==========================
Deck Name: DoC bleed
Created by: Matt Morgan
Description: The challenge I gave myself was to create a good
Daughters of Cacophony deck that wasn't a copy of
Ben Peal's NAC winning deck. This one is mostly
inspired by a deck of Forrest Nielsen's that won
a qualifier back in 2003 and made the NAC final the
same year. It adds !Toreador for bleed defense and
has a good chunk of combat defense. I earned 2 GW and
8 VPs in the preliminary rounds of the 2R+F tournament
and 2.5 VPs in the final. With another minute or two
left on the clock, I would've ousted my last prey for
a 3rd 4 VP win (but I'm plenty satisfied with just a win).
Crypt [12 vampires, average capacity: 5.08333]
1x Gael Pilet FOR MEL chi pre 6 Daughter of Cacophony:2
2x Jost Werner AUS PRE ani 6 !Toreador:2

1x Maldavis AUS for pre 4 Caitiff:3
1x Remilliard AUS pre 4 !Toreador:2
1x Celeste mel pre 3 Daughter of Cacophony:2
/* Never saw Gael or Remilliard, who are probably the weakest crypt
choices here, so just as well. A couple other players have
insisted that this crypt needs Greta, but she wouldn't have
really helped this time. Sheila's +1 bleed and fortitude were
just more useful.

4x Anarch Troublemaker
5x Blood Doll
1x Dreams of the Sphinx
1x Fetish Club Hunting Ground
1x Palla Grande
1x Paris Opera House
1x Pentex(TM) Subversion
2x Presence
/* Strangely, the Anarch Troublemakers never were that important
and I didn't draw them often. Could use another Pentex and
probably Direct Intervention. The Presence masters didn't
matter much since I mostly got out minions with PRE.
Action [18]
6x Enchant Kindred
4x Entrancement
4x Legal Manipulations
4x Social Charm
/* This seems like a lot, but I never discarded a bleed card and
often ran out. I probably had some chances to steal Hugh's
Carlton in the final, but he was really doing me more good
where he was, so I just bled with the Entrancements.
Action Modifier [14]
6x Aire of Elation
4x Missing Voice, The
4x Siren's Lure
/* More Siren's Lure is a no-brainer, but this is all I own.
Oddly enough, most of my preys never tried to block me at
all, so again it didn't matter this time. Daring the Dawn
could certainly go here.
Reaction [24]
1x Delaying Tactics
2x My Enemy's Enemy
3x On the Qui Vive
8x Telepathic Misdirection
4x Tourette's Voice
6x Wake with Evening's Freshness
/* Only one Delaying Tactics? What was I thinking? It totally
saved me in round 1 and the final. Another copy should
certainly be here. Tourette's Voice was completely useless
and sadly misplayed a couple of times (sorry!). I thought it
might be good for saving grandpreys or for some unexpected
intercept, but the need never arose. Likewise, I think I
bounced one bleed in the entire tournament. That's something
you just can't plan for.
Combat [18]
10x Majesty
8x Soak
/* This worked out great. With all the other blood costs
in the deck, playing a Soak against hands for 1 is completely
worthwhile, which is mostly what I did with them.

I know I asked about this after you won with it, but there was beer

Ah. You didn't have that down on the paper decklist you wrote for me. I
was wondering about that. :)
Palla Grand & attrition.
Nothing else other than that i'm afraid!
