constructed tournament. Here's the tournament winning deck as well as
a tournament report by the winning player, Rudolf:
I entered the finals 3rd place. Seats were chosen as follows:
1) Alexander, Guilleaume feat. Locations and Hordes
2) Rudolf, Clan Tzimisce Block and Bleed
3) Ralf, Presence Weenies and Midcaps Power Bleed
4) Michael, !Toreador Breed and Vote
5) Lukas, !Nosferatu Vermin Channel Power Bleed
The first decision in the game was one with lasting consequences:
Alexander decided not to play his KRCG to save pool and instead
discarded it - in fear of Lukas' bleeds. I had neither the best crypt
(double Lambach and double Caliban) nor the best starting hand, but
quite a comfortable life during the forthcoming rounds of play,
because Ralf could neither find or (unsudden'ed) play any of his
intercept, and both he and Alexander were not interested being hit by
Rotschreck (fear is maybe the most useful effect of this card).
Nevertheless, Ralf soon began bleeding his prey Michael very hard, who
could only survive by means of Consanguineous Boon in combination with
Embrace and Consecration Rites. Lukas tried the very best to look
harmless (having entered the finals with 2 GW, as well as Ralf), but
astonishingly he really was. His library jammed, so he could not exert
any pressure on my predator Alexander. Alexander had brought out
Guilleaume as well as one, two locations and looked quite confidently.
But he left me in peace, which gave enough time to bring out Caliban
(who got 2 Revenants) and Lambach without trouble. Unhappily, I did
not draw any helpful master cards at that time. Ralf had 3, 4, then 5
minions out and bled constantly for 3 or more. Michael could bounce 2
bleeds at Lukas, who soon became the first candidate for being ousted.
Knowing he could oust Lukas, Michael wanted to much. Having a cardinal
(Klaus Konrecht) and Foundation Exhibit in play, he made a deal with
Alexander: Alexander should allow him to have Klaus Konrecht (who
"just for cycling" had been the target of an early Divine Sign by
Alexander) play a Cardinal Benediction, and gain ultimate voting
power. In return Michael would not act against his new prey for full 2
rounds ... Alexander agreed, but during his next turn, he let his
Shambling Hordes rush one of Michael's Creation Rites. Still, I felt
no pressure, or could bounce bleeds at Ralf. As I got out my Erciyes
Fragments, I gained new hope: Lambach could use the presence bleed
cards of Ralf's Deck!
Somehow unexpected, Michael became the second oust. Ralf bled without
fear of running into Archon Investigation and I could only Eagle Sight
block the second last ousting attempt (and Rotschreck Rake). At least,
I hindered him ousting two ;ethuselahs in one turn ... I succeeded in
talking Alexander in into focusing on his predator. Then Ralf's time
to get ousted was come: Constant gnawing of early enough played Army
of Rats and Lambach's new bleed power combined with Deep Song bleeds
and Changeling was, happily, to much for Ralf's pool.
So it was now Caliban, Lambach, and Corine Marcon against Guilleaume,
two 4-cap Giovanni, a Shambling Hordes, and a procurer. Alexander
brought a Dis Pater into play and now had a way of letting vanish the
useful Dominate cards. And he drew into his Seduction and Call of the
Hungry Dead cards. Luckily, I also got useful cards at hand and was
able to block and torporize Alexander's two 4-caps, and finally
Lambach himself ended the game with an erciyed Govern the Unaligned
bleed and won me the unique cards sleeves with the tournament logo.
