[Deck] Mata and Tatiana - comments appreciated

[tobiasopdenbr...@notsocoldmail.com]

The trick: Get out Mata first and protect her right away, or have a
chump blocker first.

Sibyl's up the arms-fetching stuff and the war ghouls when wanted.
Build intercept, MR guns and war ghouls, block what you want, kill what
you want.

There's so many seperately moving parts, I may need to add 3 more
dreams - or learjet (which I'm loving).

What would YOU change?

What are these for? Your only "weapons" are zip guns, which are
actually combat cards so neither of these cards can fetch them.

Is it worth having two fame in here? It appears as if your only way of
entering combat is to block, so the famous minion will stop acting. If
it is in here to contest, then maybe just have one?

[tobiasopdenbr...@notsocoldmail.com]

Ah sod. That's what comes from not readying the cards you are combo-ing
with - stupid memory.

I guess I could remove the arms dealer/Al's apparatus angle - or stick
in a few 'real' guns to replace half the zip guns... say about 4 .44s,
and 4 zip guns.

... and the war ghouls - which come when you need them due to sibyl's
tongue.

Although I did forget the WMO to remove Sibyl's from the ash.

With a Waste Management Operation, the Arms dealer/apparatus provide a
way to shuffle your deck, giving you more chance of the card you
wastefully managed coming up sooner.

More. And some more blood gain to back up the blood support.
Yes I know you have Ankara, but things tend to get wrong ;-)

I just love Sudario Refraction. Put in 2.

Sybils Tongue for the first one. Use Sudario to get back Sybils.
Play the same sybils tongue (at reduced cost, because you removed one
from the ashheap)
get the other Sudario. Play it to get the old one back in your hand.
(and a freakdrive if need be)
Play any card you want from your hand, ashheap or library.

Just be careful with how many cards you play and are still in your
library,...
