Tournament Report & TWD : Praxis Seizure Ghent: Contesting the Dragon
Dennis
players gathered in the Outpost Gamestore in Ghent (Belgium). Nobody
was able to open the frontdoor of the Outpost, untill a young lady
with more force and door-karma showed us how to do that. The Dragon
that got contested is the one one top of the belfry of Ghent.
Trivia:
- no vampires where contested
- only one deck played parity shift
- players from Belgium, the Netherlands and France
- no time outs
Three preliminary rounds and one final round later, the following

The final round:
Axel (Assamites)
Ruben (tor!, social charm & psyche! w. guns)
Antoine (Brujah! with Hector and Armin Brenner)
Bart (Lasombra, politics with Gratiano)
Jeroen (Ishtarri vote)
Ruben was ousted after one hour, half an hour later Bart and Axel
shared his fate.
Minutes before Axel is ousted Jeroen says : "I'm still a dead man
walking, but I like that position"
The first turn of the end duel Antoine said to Jeroen : "You're
getting meaner when you're fearful"
This was a fun experience for a first time tournament organiser. I'm
looking forward to organise more :)

Championship of 2010.
The 5 players from the final round are qualified.
Here's the winning deck
Junta
By Jeroen van Oort
Roughly based on a deck that was called Bannana Republic (I guess).
A typical presence-obfuscate vote deck, but this time with Ishtarri.
Once you have an Ayo out you dont discard for two or three turns, so
make sure you do that in turn one and two if nessesary. Be ware the
deck starts slow. If you’re lucky you can play an enchant kindred as
your first action on ubende or undele and transfer one them out in
turn four. Use a minion tap on the second vampire, Ayo doesnt really
need one. In theory from turn five you can actually call and pass some
votes.
Crypt 12
4 Ayo Igoli (the obvious starplayer)
3 Undele (His special was and will be used a lot!)
3 Ubende
1 Mukhtar Bey (Never drawn him this tournamt)
1 Klaus Konrecht (It also never was seen in my inactive region, the
new Brujah justicar is probebly a better choise)
Library 90 cards
18 Master
7 Minion Tap
3 Dreams of the Sphinx
1 Glutton
1 Monestary of shadows (I love this card, its worth every pool)
1 Port Hunting Ground
1 Ancestor Spirit
1 Powerbase: Tshwane ( This card proved not to be too usefull, because
of the high dencity of laibon. Yes you heard it right.)
1 Sense Vibration
1 Information Highway
1 Perfectionist
14 Political actions
5 Kine resources Contested
3 Neonate Breach (a 4th one would do good, maybe remove the
Conservative Agitation)

1 Hiding in the open

Dank je,
Alles goed? Already have a second embrace running around in your
house? Or still just one?
About the tournament: This was the most relaxed one I've seen so far.
Really I saw people losing, but not getting tense or stressed and
agitated. And then there was the final. I have to apologize to Ruben,
because it was like we almost ignored him. After his first vampire got
torpordized and amarant-ed he never recovered, and we (me and Bart as
cross table buddies) never did anything to help.
As you may have noticed I like methuselahs to be ousted instead of
keeping every body in the game for as long as possible. The first
methuselah ousted speeds up the game by 20%, so I can take more
actions.
One memorable moment: The judge accidentally whispered to my prey "and
now you get the DI", since I was listening I said "A DI, well thank
you". But on my predators turn I had already forgotten about it and
tried to misdirect a stealth-ed bleed for 3 to him. He played the DI
and asked if that was wise, because I was pretty sure I would die that
turn. To bad for my predator, because he lacked some top-decking-
skills. At the end of his turn I was barely alive with just 2 pool. He
discarded a card during his discardphase and cursed out loud, he had
drawn a conditioning. Then I played a miniontap and a voter
captivation to bring me back in the game. From then on I played like a
fearless mad man. Damn I was lucky.
Greetings,

Nicely played Jeroen. It was a pleasure to meet you, folks.
For my part, I found Ruben being a huge poolwall between the Lossamite
and me absolutely perfect. Sorry though it didn't bring that much fun
to him.

Still just one, but a lot of fun.

Naga, could you post your !Brujah decklist in here or on
www.atfreeforum.com/vtesholland ?
It seemed to flow well and I would like to take a look at it :)
