BEN'S DECK NOTES:
I'd been thinking about building a War Ghoul deck for a while, but
acquiring the 10 of them that one needs for the usual 60-card version
looked to be a pain in the neck. So, I thought about applying the tech
developed with the Pochtli Twister deck, building a version that was 30 or
so cards, with half the War Ghouls, and padding out the deck with burn
option cards. This would save me from having to get more War Ghouls,
and I figured that it'd be extremely rare that an ally rush decks would
bring out 6 or more such allies anyway. When Mata Hari was printed, I
decided to build the deck, as she could take easy advantage of Waste
Management Operation and I liked the superior Obfuscate. Josh Feuerstein
then clued me into the fact that the burn option cards could be D'habi
Revenants, as they can be discarded via burn option, and Mata Hari
could employ them for use in creating War Ghouls (though not for the bleed
bonus). I ran with the idea and included a variety of other burn option
cards, such as Riddle Phantastique and Chanjelin Ward. The deck proved to
be highly effective, the only worry being that Mata Hari might get
immediately rushed via Red List when she comes out, before a Secure Haven
or Chanjelin Ward could be put on her. As such I recommend dropping a
couple Obfuscate stealth cards and including a couple copies of Mirror
Image. Another discovery was how solid it was to bring back Jake
Washington via the Waste Management Operation, as it allows you to stop
one rushing minion cold every turn. Props to Josh Feuerstein for the
D'habi Revenant idea, and to Ruben Vidana Ramos and Stephane Lavrut whose
War Ghoul decks I used as references (and to Lasombra Jeff for the TWD
Archive!).
NOTE: I'd just like to say that I gave Ben all the garbage cards for this
deck.

BEN'S DECK NOTES:
Around the time I was contemplating the EconoGhoul deck, I got into a
conversation on the #vtes irc channel (irc.sorcery.net) with David
Cherryholmes and others about Henry Taylor, and how obnoxious it can be to
put a Protean skill card on him and playing Earth Meld to protect a
Smiling Jack. This seemed like a great application of the Pochtli Twister
tech, so I decided to build the deck. I used Dirty Contracts instead of
Tracker's Marks, and included a Brothers Grimm, as the Dirty Contracts
could be used to protect the Brothers Grimm. Ruins of Villers Abbey,
Belgium and Quick Meld are in there for combat defense, as they're
extremely card-efficient sources of maneuvers (and the maneuvers from the
Ruins can be paid for with The Rack). Millicent Smith is there to slow
the rate of table progression down, while speeding up the rate of turns,
helping to buy clock time for the Smiling Jack to work. I don't recommend
using such a deck in a casual game. As much as there are assorted ways of
defeating this deck (Pentex Subersion, Immortal Grapple, Kiss of Ra,
etc.), if the table doesn't have a way of getting past Henry, you'll be
wasting 2 hours of their time as they get to sit there and do nothing.
That's fine for a tournament, but not fine for a friendly game. Props
again to Keith Page, a former Boston player who built the original Pochtli
Twister deck, of which my Pochtli Twister deck is its namesake, and Henry
Twister is similarly named in its honor.
NOTE: I'd just like to say that I gave Ben all the garbage cards for this
deck, too. =)
