This was the response given in the thread:
Crypt: (12 cards, Min: 15, Max: 32, Avg: 5,83) ---------------------------------------------- 4 Amavi 8 2 Hasani 4 1 Jubal 6 1 Meno Ngari 2 2 Socrate Cidibe 5 1 The Kikiyaon 5 1 Uchenna 7 I'd throw in Nkule Galadima and another Uchenna before duplicating vampires that don't have all of your disciplines at the correct level. See also: Rows and Rows of the Finest Virtuosos Library: (86 cards) ------------------- Master (15 cards) 1 Animalism 1 Antediluvian Awakening 3 Archon Investigation 2 Mapatano Utando 1 Pentex Subversion 2 Sudden Reversal 5 Villein Giant's Blood and Heidelberg Castle should be in a bleed deck based on permanents long before discipline masters. Antediluvian Awakening is awfully dangerous without Vessels or Blood Dolls. I'd consider them instead of the Animalism discipline master as well. Mbare Market, Harare would also be a good choice to gain pool to counteract the Antediluvians. You seem to be very focused on defending against bleed and powerless against votes. Personally, I'd drop down to 1 Archon Investigation and add some Delaying Tactics. Action (12 cards) 2 Well-Marked 2 Wise Spider 2 Force of Will 2 Deep Song 4 Computer Hacking If you go with more Magaji in your crypt, No Secrets From the Magaji makes an amazing action that untaps you immediately and lets you block as though untapped later, saving lots of deck space for non-reaction cards. Action Modifier (21 cards) 2 Daring the Dawn 6 Devil-Channel: Throat 4 Freak Drive 8 Predator`s Mastery 1 Strange Day No objections from me here, I'd consider more Freak Drives in my local environment, because until you get The Signet of King Saul, Amavi is very easy to block. You're only going to get your bleeds thru by force of numbers, tapping your prey out on other things (or other minions) then going for the kill. Leverage might also be a good choice, if you can get Amavi tooled up with 3-4 standing bleed, your prey will likely let Dolie or Meno Negari thru on their bleed of one and not bounce or block. Throwing that extra point of pool damage on the expected inconsequential bleed is always nice. It also combines with Predator`s Mastery for an excellent action from an unexpected source. Reaction (8 cards) 2 Predator`s Communion 2 Terra Incognita 2 Unseen Hibernation 2 Wake with Evening`s Freshness Wake's should become Predator`s Communion unless your local opponents are likely to be playing Imbued, and even then, you are only worried if they are the only opponent left on the table with you in the 2-player end-game. I've never seen Unseen Hibernation work, play it for a while and see if you can ever play it. Combat (21 cards) 7 Aid from Bats 2 Canine Horde 6 Carrion Crows 4 Skin of Steel 2 Whistling Up the Beast Lots of animalism and fortitude, and no Abombwe? Rather than run away, I'm more partial to the additional strength and presses provided by Invoking the Beast. The two copies of Whistling up the Beast aren't too likely to be in your hand at the same time you want to play the Canine Horde, so those might free up some space in your deck. Equipment (5 cards) 1 Kduva`s Mask 2 Laptop Computer 1 Reliquary: Akunanse Remains 1 Signet of King Saul, The Things that don't cost pool are better than ones that do. If you have access to them, replace the two Laptop Computers with J. S. Simmons, Esq. and Tasha Morgan. If you don't have access to them, drop one Laptop and replace it with Heidelberg Castle, Germany to allow you to get two uses out of it. You might even consider Codex of the Edenic Groundskeepers as the big threat to leave for your last action to get smaller bleeds thru without blocks or bounces. See also: Trouble, right here in River City Event (1 cards) 1 Narrow Minds A good choice. Combo (3 cards) 3 Predator`s Transformation I'm partial to more of these, they cycle easily and you won't have other options for stealth when your prey finally decides to simply leave all of her minions untapped to block you.
