Hi! I've been spending the past few days trying to design a competitive
deck that would rely on brainwash...why? mmm, just because nobody uses
that card i guess. Maybe it's been done before but i've never seen it
played...Anyway i wanted to have a go at that. The basic idea was the
interaction between brainwash, banishment and memory's fading glimpse. 
While going through the different cards available i realised how it
would work with Madness Network so i directed my deck to a kind of
malkavian princes (greger and gilbert) so that i could get enough votes
without using anything else to get the banishment past. By using
banishment OOT i would then be able to brainwash the recently banished
vamp. As a support i thought about using some weenies and Cairo Int'l
Airport, to deplete the uncontrolled vampires and then use memory's
fading glimpse. The defensive strategy would be the fifth trad/Minion
Tap combo (especially OOT 5th, and minion tap next master phase) 
What is cruely lacking (among other things :) is some kind of combat
capability. While the aggro OOT rotschreck sounds cool i prefered to
forget about it and go for the cheese aka Majesty. Including presence in
the deck would allow me to access the vote enhancers cards (bewitching
oration, awe,...) as well as voter captivation for more pool gain. But i
could now use Mind numb which would slow down my predator as well as my
prey. So Roxane, Sylvester and Leandro went in... If i was going to play
with presence (and majesty) i thought i might as well include some
toreador, so i did and enrolled Anson (great ability), Klaus van der
Veken and Francois Villon (obf and titles) as well as masika...why?
Because i think Masika/clan impersonation to malk/Madness network has to
be done :) Besides it can be yr killer combo... :) 
So here is the first draft of my library:

Brainwash x10
Majesty x8
Mind Numb x8
Banishment x8
Madness Network x6
Clan Impersonation x3
Fifth Tradition x5
Minion Tap x5
Precognant Mobility x4
Cairo Int'l Airport x3
Bewitching Oration x4
Voter Captivation x4
Awe x2
Closed Session x4
Memory's Fading Glimpse x4
Pentex Subversion x2
Asylum HG x2
Blood Doll x2
Parthenon x2
Forgotten Labyrinth x4

Primogen)


After playing with other combinations i came to realise that tha malk
angle, while fun, might not be the best one to make a competitive
brainwash deck, so i thought about a fame combat deck that will beat up
any vamp yr prey can bring out (chances are they will be small and easy
to deal with, good with fame) as well as being able to cripple yr
predator. The duo Beast/Ebanezer would fit perfectly that profile. The
other one is a weenie Protean deck (bum's rush, claws, amaranth :).
That's it for now, please do let me know on the NG or by e-mail of any
way to make the deck work....if any :)
Thanks for yr time
