This looks like a completely different deck to me. Mine is almost
solely Abowbwe.

Nice twist on the crypt. Nkechi's special is awesome.

I'd consider dropping that sole Daring the Dawn and adding in the
debilatative discpline-nerfing events such as The Slow Withering, Blood
Weakens and especially Veil of Darkness. You may garner more hate, but
your blood engine looks strong enough to outlast it. Also, the brevity
of the library and low count of transient cards means the reduced
hand-size might not be nutpunchy.

The weenie-Kholo thing is the icing, tho, isn't it? Without votes of
your own these could become discards or muddy sticks in your hand. I
made sure to drop 6 good votes (1x Con Ag, 4x KRC, 1x Disputed
Territory) in my deck to get these titles in play.

I'm seeing lots of good bloat possibilities, but no real ousting
mechanism... okay if you get out 12 laibon you can bleed someone out
without playing any cards, but I can't see how this could go forward
anywhere near as fast as say palla grande / WoN swarm.

Why no votes? Or am I misunderstanding the deck altogether?

I remembered a lot of Abowbwe in yours. Still, I wanted to give
props to you.

Thanks. I have dreams of Greg Winter stealing an
opponent's vamp's last blood and then having Langa
punch it for 1 into torpor.

Sounds fine. I'm not sure how much blocking
this deck should be trying to do, as I have no
combat to back it up.

I did consider the discpline-nerfing events. I decided to leave them
out so as to look inocent for as long as possible. Yes, they could go
in easily; and they might. As for Daring the Dawn; it was my anti-
No Secrets from the Magaji card. It concerns me that No Secrets
+ a Flak Jacket completely shuts this deck down.

Sounds good. Thanks.

Again, props to Mark P.!

Yes, in the end I plan for the deck to oust with swarm bleed.
Before then, I look nice and hunt a lot, maybe I rescue my
cross-table's vamp, I have good times with Reliquary: Biague,
and I make a ton of pool. Sure there are better offensive decks,
but I'd rather not play those.

> Why no votes? Or am I misunderstanding the deck altogether?

I'll add some votes. The Kholos were my anti-vote angle. Turns out,
I should join the vote party.

Thanks for your interest.

If you add enough Gehenna events, then you definitely need to add Alia
to rescue your weenies.
