(DECK) Potence Princes Redux
Cry Wolf
I'd like some comments on a deck concept I originally saw on David
Cherryholmes's site.
It's Finnish politics, diablerie and swarming all rolled into one.

I would add another copy of Sheldon
And three copies of Uriah Winter. She can run the combat I will be
reccomending, get an early edge, defend against swarm bleed,
Diablerize w/ little loss, and be a trojan horse for neonate breach
that replaces KRCs

> 1x Info Highway
-1x Vast Wealth-- don't have the actions to waste and don't need to
get the equipment

-1x Storm Sewers --I just don't like the card. (I have never seen it
work)
> 2x Fortitude
-1x Tension in the Ranks-- should be +1 Fame

2 Keep it Simple --2nd tradition and Guardian Angel means a bleed
reduction of 4-5 if they get by
1 Narrow Minds
1-2 heroic might and/or other one
1 kevlar vest
1 Arenthebes Just good
Don't know if you have Street Creed, but that is the card I would like
to see most in your deck. You do not need to rush your pred/prey with
hands for one with prevent is good enough. I am sure if you need to
you can talk an ally into hands for one.(nearly unblockable)
Also rushing will help to keep you cycling red cards which is another
problem for this deck
If you have 6 Street Creed, I would get rid of all the 4th Traditions
in favor of Street Creed and rush.
Thats all I got for now,
Matt
