Tried to build a deck based on Jann Berger (Brujah prince who pays one
less for Potence cards) and Inspire Greatness (adds strenght to other
minions, which sadly does not work as a reaction). Fun, but not good.
Picks up a vp sometimes thanks to Parity Shift, but generally not
enough forward momentum. Maybe someone has ideas? Anyone built a
similar deck? /Ashur

Crypt (12):
5 Jann Berger
2 Marlena
1 Allison Maller

3 Presence
2 Effective Management
1 Fortitude
1 Papillon
1 Grooming the Protege

Nice find, Jann Berger + Inspire Greatness. Maybe weenie Tha for
unpreventable (by for) strikes? I dunno.

That's actually a terrible idea. Now weenie fortitude + inspire
greatness could do something...

I've played again a similar deck.

I can't recall if it used allies or weenie vampires, but the point was to
bleed big - at least 2 bleed each action.

Add lots of Computer Hackings for allies that have a base bleed of 1 or more.
Or use Legal Manipulations and presence weenies. Both blocking and not
blocking must be made painful.

if you want vps, your minions need to make damages
inspire greatness + target vitals is already 5 dam
so play Jann + weenie presence (some might have potence)

You handle combat with defensive combat like majesties or thrown gate,
for example
Everything except combat, you bleed with presence for 3 and if it gets
blocked, it is 5 damages...
Then I would not play any votes except for shifts to regain pool, I
think it makes the deck too heavy. Rush + bleed is enough.

You could go with really simple Trap and Taste of Vitae combat for
the nerds, just pick one +bleed discipline on the side.
-for Jann you can get Heroic Might just to save combat cards with
him.

I used to play Jann Berger with (!)malkavians, it's really nice to
see dementation weenie beating up a bigger woozle. Muddled Vampire
hunter is neat too! deals 6 damage as first strike

You could go with Imbued too, they have permanent +bleed with SwC and
can use it to hit 4 damage too (and there's many combat cards that
don't work against allies)


I'd try those Imbueds, since they have some bleed reduction/bounce
and loads of permanent stuff . Use Jann as stationary dude who just
plays Inspire Greatness's and perhaps few Dream Worlds if you get
lucky.
...or go with presence nerds and beforementioned Trap&ToV's

[for] + Stick weenies...
Weenies grab camera phone, untap, bleeeeeed!
Jann makes them strong!
Weenies Trap, Walking Stick, Target Vitals & Undead Persistence...
People die. The bodies are scraped from the walls, and you
potentially back it up with Carvers + Minion Slap for pool

To me a deck built around him Inspireing people should go one of two
ways, brujah breed n vote, useing New Carthage for oust power and Con
boons to survive, Target Vitels and WWS for combat, or using cel
wennies computer hacking and add striking for combat.

Just my two cents.

Or ten cents, as the case may be. :-)

Back to the original deck, my question is how does it oust? It looks
like it's a bruise/bleed setup. To me, that implies it wants the
bleed-pump to be in action-modifier form, so that it's a damned-if-you-
do, damned-if-you don't scenario; I'd switch to less +stealth and more
+bleed in the action modifiers department. Make them debate whether
to block each bleed by punishing if they do, and bleeding if they
don't.

Jann Inspires Fishiness

Jann + various [cel][for] weenies
Camera Phones + WWS + Prevent/Press
You could splice in some anarch tech if you want to bleed/bloat and
make use of streamlined combat with Flash + Diversion....

I would try with something like this:
4 Jann Berger
8 "1-caps" of your choice

library=90

2 Blood Doll
5 Effective Management
2 Two Wrongs
2 Major Boon
2 Dummy Corp
2 Dreams of the Sphinx

10 Inspire Greatness

8 Computer Hacking
8 Leverage

4 Parity Shift
/* only time Jann should tap.
No vote push, but with PS that can often be ok anyway */

8 Glancing Blow
5 Pulled Fangs
5 Fake Out
6 Boxed In
5 Target Vitals

10 Touch of Pain
3 Iron Heart
2 Delaying Tactics

1 Narrow Minds
