Alfred Behrends Tournament Winning Deck
1GW5 before final (3rd seed), 1,5vp in final
Deck Name : Govern the Gates
Author : Alf Behrends
Description : IMHO G4/5 has an insanely good weenie to midcap crypt for
POT and DOM/POT. Inspired by Tuomas Nyberg's TWD "Dr. Sutphens Dental
Care" I used the new crypt, replaced Computer Hackings with Govern and
some cards for my personal taste. Didn't get to play the deck before the
qualifier and really only wanted to qualify, so I'm very pleased with
it's perfomance. Never used the whole library so should probably go down
to 80 or even 75 cards.

That deck seems really fun, and everytime I see a Lasombra in combat I
do smile :)

dreaming ish!

So, Bakija, do you think this deck won more because of the
potence or because of the 11x Govern/4x Bonding? ;)

In round 3 I had Vincent as prey playing "Weenie Dom For with Zip Gun
and Target Vitals". His first turn discard was Soak. I got Virginie
out and he discarded another Soak. I feard for my combat and expected
him having a hand full of Fortitude. In fact he expected my deck to be
Lasombra S&B and took quite some time to get some prevention later in
the game. His Zip Gun/TV gave me trouble anyway and it took me some
effort to oust him and the game timed out afterwards. Would have been
even harder with those Soaks.
Lesson learned: Expect the unexpected.
There was quite a lot of combat for a qualifier.

Gah. I just don't know. Whenever I play decks like this (and I've
played decks like this *a lot*...), they generally just blow. Either
the combat isn't sufficient due to high amounts of fortitude or SCE or
Lid/Crow hitback *or* the bleed isn't sufficient due to it being
jammed up by combat. I was just looking at this deck and saying "Man.
How do people win with stuff like this?" I mean, it isn't a bad deck,
what with the Dominate and all. But it just never seems to work when I
see it or use it.

Congrats for the win!
It may sound as a joke, but I've just built a very similar deck - but
it was more rushy and less bleedy :) Double Virginie, double Black
Wallace, Gatjil, Gianmaria and two Lorrie. It had some Anarch cards,
especially Hell-for-Leather, and much more combat cards.

In fact, it was Black Wallace. And I was pretty stupid to assume it
was a bleed stealth deck given that he's a poor choice in such a deck :

Govern down, not forward. Bruise&Bleed still blows. Swarm bleeding
with 5 or 6 minions that can defend themselves in combat, on the other
hand, gives just about any deck trouble.
