Congratulations to Bill, Dave, Chris and Carol for qualifying.

Bill's Deck is listed below along with some of his ramblings about it.
Dave was playing multi-master phase Anarch Revolt because it was his
last chance to before KMW became tournament legal. Chris was playing
weenie presence vote. Carol was playing Kiasyd bruise/bleed.

Bill Troxel's winning deck:

The idea is to appear non-threatening, shut down power-setup decks
early, have staying power, and slowly build for the swarm bleed.
The non-threatening part is fairly easy to see; the deck has no
power combos nor dangerous-looking vampires whatsoever, and all of
the anarch revolts have been phased out.

The absence of oft-repeating cards becomes apparent to seasoned
opponents fairly quickly, allowing for surprise while at the same time
appearing non-relentless and thus not scary. Shutting down cheesy
power-setups is something in which I take great delight, especially in
tournaments, and nothing is better for that than to bring out a
first-turn vamp with intercept and combat capability. This aspect of
the deck was particularly useful in this tournament, allowing me to
stop Adam from getting his allies out (in a deck that's frightfully
powerful when it gets going,) and keeping me from getting rolled over
by a presence-weenie bleed deck, which, I've heard, had dealt 14 pool
damage in a previous round before its prey ever got out a vamp.

As for staying power, most of the vampires are small enough that the
deck's pool gain can almost keep pace with the cost of its minions past
the first few -- plus, it's an intercept deck, with blockers to spare.
What gives the deck its teeth (other than swarm potential) is that in
combat, the auspex weenies almost always deal a little more damage than
is expected. Weighted walking sticks, lucky blows and pulled fangs may
seem newbie-ish, but how often do you anticipate Franciscus to deal
four damage in a single round? That surprise factor is what motivated
this version of the deck, along with a cost-benefit theory: if your
vampires are dealing out more damage than their capacity, you're
probably winning.
