Exposer,

Is it possible to see your decklist and some comments about how the
deck played? 2.5 VPs prelim and 2 VPs in the Final for a 419 deck
sounds like you made the card somewhat playable.

Later,
~Rehlow

Deck Name: 419 operation madness

Here should be 1 more Kamaria instead of 1 Arriette Sylla for bleed.
And the metagame was rather pleasant, this deck is fine with allies.

Howdy Anton,

This deck is hilarious, thanks for posting. A few questions:

OK, Osebo weenies and val/VAL users. I assume the !Salubri never ever
take any actions and just sit around Hiding their Hearts?

Is the Dark Influences in for some specific reason? Did Last Stand
work out for you? Why Info Highway? Was blood management an issue
with no hunting grounds and Tributes?

> Action (24 cards)

I assume these are for the crypt fishing ability, and not to
(pointlessly as far as I can see) make !Salubri Laibon? Does this
make Mbare worthwhile despite weenitude and a mixed crypt?

> Reaction (20 cards)

I wonder if that Delaying could profitably be Osebo Kholo instead?

> Combat (5 cards)

No stealth and very little combat makes me wonder if your meta is
devoid of intercept and rush? Or did you just get lucky and people
figured they could afford to let the 419's through and just get rid of
them later?

I was thinking of trying to build this deck, but I'd need to put
either stealth or combat (or both) in. Do you think it would still
work if I went a little higher up in the Osebo for Titi and used
Resist Earth's Grasp and maybe Zip Gun + Suppressing Fire?

Side question: 419 is undirected, right? So Creepshow Casino would
work?

Thanks,
Alex

Yes they are supposed to just sit and play HtHs.

The deck is weak to politics so DI2 can protect the deck from
dangerous
political actions like Ancilla Empowerment or Reins of Power or stop
the volley
of KRCs from anywere. When in play DI2 protects from other players'
DI2
that can stop this deck cold.
Last Stand is here to solve one of deck's problem. When it ousts
someone
there are juicy piles of pool on operations usually that can be
harvested by new prey.
Info Highway is here to speed up influencing of weenies and to contest
slowing prey
development cause speed is the key.
The most cards this deck play use no blood so blood management is fine
and
just 2 Tributes are quite nice for pool gain.

Sure they are for crypt fishing and they are brilliant for the task.
There are only 2 nonlaibon vampires in the crypt so Mbare is nice
tool for speeding up and pool gain.

DT can buy you a turn. 2 votes can hardly make any difference.

This deck is supposed to build up a bunch of operations fast before
any interference
and then sit and protect them.

IMHO the swarming strategy this deck uses is the most suitable.

Sure. Nice idea.

Thank you, Andrei, I had no time for wide description.

No any specific reason for DI. This deck usually have enough pool and
DI can save from some deck archetypes based on one-two offensive cards
(Govern the Unaligned, KRC, Cryptic Mission, Deep Song etc.)
The idea of deck is to get as many 419 Operations as possible and do
it fast. With 2 Info Highway, Mbare Market Harare and low cap Osebo
I reach this goal. With such speed I have not many problems with
intercept. I didn't play Last Stand this tournament but was close to
this, I got Last Stand next card after ousting my second prey. This
deck have some problem with transfering prey's pool to another play
through Operations. With Last Stand I can get another turn to transfer
counters from Operations to my pool. And this deck rather agressive
ussually It get it's 1 vp easy (espasially if my prey uses high cap
vampires) Last Stand can give one more turn that make this deck
faster.
Wash and Sudden for canceling prey's pool gain they wree really
usefull.
In my previous versions I used 3 Tributes but later I consider to get
out 1 Tribute. 2 Tributes are perfect number for this deck.
2 Blooding by the Code for Nkechi and Rashiel.
Effective Management rather suitable here.

Mozambique Allure is a perfect card for this archetype. It provide
completion of second part of goal - to get out !Salubri as much as
possible. Also this card make this deck shorter for its cycling.
I loved Legend of the Leopard in such metagame.

I don't think so. This card helped me against Parity Shift of my prey.
It stops pool gaining of some political decks and gives me one more
turn.

Andrew said right. The idea is to make setup fast. Before any
interruption. To dispose 419 Operation minion must bleed, but instead
of this minion try to rush or stop for blocking, but Operations works
anyway. Some fast Operations and then Control of them - thats the way.

It makes your deck slow and unstable in my opinion. Try my variant for
comparison.

In previous versions I tested Creepshow Casino but it was useless. The
amount of Osebo is the key to a victory.

I want to add that deck with all its agression may offer some help to
another metuthella and easy makes some deals.
Also it can fail ally actions so it dosn't scare any WarGhouls or
Imbued or any Renegate Garu.
It has enough pool at most games. At all my games I stayed till the
end.

The deck is not so cheating anyway.

<snip deck and excellent answers to obvious questions>

So where I play, on 1 out of every 3 tables my predator or prey puts
Neighbour John in play in turn 2 and whips out a .44 after blocking your
first action. What do you do then?

Selfoust.
I think I will get the same problems as a politic weenie. But
something whispering me, that Neighbour John may not stop all minions.
Otherwise its not a bad variant, if I manage to raise at least 2
Operations it will be good preasure for John later.

Such things you may get better with practice. Bleed for three or five
is dangerous for grandprey, he will try to block such bleeds. Another
thing: if I see a possibility of my prey to bleed for 3 without my
reduction I return all pool from operations, transfer one pool each
turn and return then, get out more minions. You may not believe me but
at most situations it will be enough.

My buddy Sackett put a deck together very similar to this over this
last summer (although it also had grafted on Obfuscate to avoid
getting blocked all the time), and while it was hardly a regular game
sweeper, it did ok and occasionally won a game. I'd never imagine that
this kind of deck (i.e. 419 Operation/Hide the Heart) would ever be a
tier 1 contender for, well, anything. But it is probably the best 419
Operation deck you can come up with, and it has the potential to
actually do ok once and a while.
