We had 36 players gathering for the Northern France European Qualifier, with, as usual, many of the top French players. After 3 rounds of difficult battles, 5 players got the chance to play final round together (and sorry for Florian Prosper, 6th just as last year, with a very fair 2GW6)
Ranking before final was was: 5 Lucas BONROY 1 - 2GW9 - ventrue 3/4 vote 31 Orian GISSLER 2 - 2GW8 paper/scissors winner vs Antonio - Guillaume's Puppets 30 Antonio COBO CUENCA 3 - 2GW8 - ventrue 1/2 vote [spanish version] 9 Rodolphe DANAC 4 - 2GW7 - weenie presence vote 23 Romain NAÏM 5 - 2GW7 - council of doom new school
and seating such as: Antonio -> Orian -> Romain -> Lucas -> Rodolphe
Final results were: Orian with 2vp wins the tournament Rodolphe gets 2vps Antonio gets 1vp

I'm very happy to see the deck working out for you. Could you post some kind of report on how it flew during the tournament? Any key moments or key cards? How did the Puppeteers treat you and how did they work out in the deck?

In this particular deck, I can't see it working all that well, as there are only, like, 6 or 7 cards that make it pay off. But on the other hand, in this deck, as it is also just an Elder Library that costs an extra pool, if it pays off once, it breaks even.

Well done Orian. I guess no one did play Jericho Founding, in the end.. ;)

it makes the difference when you call 1 puppeeteer/turn with the terrible combo: Guillaume + Charisma + Tower of London one guy makes sudario on sudario/puppeeteer/shroud mastery Guillaume recruits Puppeeteer and untap at 2stealt, gain 1 pool
I like tower of London but not enough to play it just for its effect. Now, it is a location so I guess it is interesting one (there are many locations that can enter the deck according to your meta or what you like: centralized background check, house of sorrow, elder library...)

That's 'cause Tower of London fails the "Should I play Ascendance instead?" test. :)
Play Ascendance and gain one pool, or play Tower of London and be down 2 pool and have to succeed at 4 Necromancy actions over the course of at least 4 turns to do better than the 1 pool from Ascendance.

Creepshow Casino? Heck, just another Storage Annex would be fine.

Also, it's called The Death Star, not the Death Star Cannon deck!
Unless you're talking about some deck called the Death Star Cannon deck, but that's a dumb name. Don't name your deck that. That's like calling your band the Hard Rockin' Blues Band band or something.
Sorry, but no one knows the deck by those names anymore.

Congrats Orian, as usual well done! I' m glad that Antonio entered the final, seems that spaniard politics are also kicking abroad ;-)
Just to make sure...do you rely on your Puppeteer and stealth in order to avoid Gillaume being torporized? (i.e. this is the reason for not playing Spiritual intervention)

The reasons for not playing spiritual intervention are the following: - I don't like this card - pupeeteers are good blockers - combat decks don't make the final table
Congrats for your victory in spanish grand slam (I don't do it on your own thread, that would be too cock-sucking I guess lol)

Nice. I agree SI is not such a good card, but keeping Guillaume alive is one of your main concerns when playing this deck, anyway pupeteer do the thing.
Combat decks don' t make the final table but may destroy your chances in early rounds (though SI won't help you that much against a Combat deck)
Have you thought about making it anarch, I' m working on an anarch Guillame list, I think it provides really nice tricks.

Yeah, I considered it at first but I wanted to try the deck I played at tournament at least once (I had built it on paper after german championship) but had never played it before going to enter other techs.
