Deck Name : Matata's Menagerie
Author : Wanderer's Counsel
Description : An Akunanse intercept combat deck that showcases
how the clan can be very effective when blocking.
Crypt [12 vampires] Capacity min: 4 max: 9 average: 6.92
------------------------------------------------------------
2x Matata 9 ABO ANI FOR aus cel obf Akunanse:3
2x Amavi 8 ABO ANI FOR pre pro Akunanse:4
2x Uchenna 7 ABO ANI FOR magaji Akunanse:4
2x Jubal 6 ABO ANI for pot Akunanse:4
1x Nkule Galadima 8 ABO FOR ani aus pre magaji Akunanse:4
1x Sanjo 6 ANI FOR abo chi Akunanse:3
1x Kikiyaon, The 5 FOR abo ani Akunanse:4
1x Hasani 4 ABO for Akunanse:4
Influence Matata first if at all possible. His +1 strength and optional
press will make a significant difference in all of his combats. Anyone
with all three in clan disciplines at superior is a good alternate.
Library [90 cards]
------------------------------------------------------------
Action [5]
1x Aranthebes, The Immortal
4x Sense Death
Sense Death at animalism allows a stealth rush against a younger vampire.
Use this as your employ retainer action, by using Pack Alpha to reveal
any of the animal retainers.
Retainer [13]
2x Duma Rafiki
2x Elephant Guardian
1x Mr. Winthrop
2x Owl Companion
5x Raven Spy
1x Shaman
Someone will need to look after the Menagerie during the daylight, and
either the Shaman or Mr. Winthrop can be up to the task. These are additional
opportunities to Pack Alpha the animalism retainers. The Raven Spy retainers
are actually key to the deck, not the successful employing of any of the others.
Action Modifier [4]
4x Freak Drive
Always nice to end your turn of hiring retainers untapped.
Combat [36]
3x Devil-Channel: Back
4x Devil-Channel: Hands
6x Drawing Out the Beast
5x Invoking the Beast
6x Pack Alpha
3x Superior Mettle
2x Skin of Steel
3x Soak
4x Taste of Vitae
A relatively well rounded combat package. The Devil-Channel: Hands are primarily
inlcuded for the opportunity to use Rotschrek. Rotschreck is your only real
option for overcoming Strike: Combat Ends. Cycle furiously until you successfully
acquire an Owl Companion, and then you can play more cautiously with the remaining
combat cards.
Master [15]
3x Abombwe
4x Blood Doll
1x Jungle Hunting Ground
1x KRCG News Radio
2x Rötschreck
3x Smiling Jack, The Anarch
1x WMRH Talk Radio
The KRCG and WMRH are there to help you during the build-up phase near
the beginning of the game. They could be replaced by Mbare Market, Harare
and/or any of the animalism intercept cards.
Reaction [17]
6x Cats' Guidance
2x Instinctive Reaction
9x Predator's Communion
Both the Cats' Guidance and the Predator's Communion are designed to be
used for the untap. The animalism retainers and intercept masters should be
sufficient to provide the intercept you need to successfully block actions.
Falcon's Eye and Speak with Spirits were also considered, but burning blood
for 1 intercept is not great, and only having intercept against bleeds is also
too restrictive.
