This month, the deck comes from our very own Legbiter. I?ll leave
him to discuss the details of how his deck works. We had spoken
to each other about the value of allies, and he said that he had
made this deck recently. As it relies on the quite effective Tremere
Antitribu allies, I felt it would fit the theme this month.

The idea is to treat your opponents' vampires as a resource ... steal
their blood with the succubus, put them into torpor with the chainsaw, and
then eat them with the Nephandus. Pool gain, combat and a bit
of deflection is your defense against bleed; intercept and rush-
combat is your only real resource against votes. The key to the deck
is the Ambrosius/Talbot's chainsaw combo. Ambrosius takes the
chainsaw damage each untap, and it doesn't affect him. If an ally
gets killed you Compel the Spirit to get it back again. Heidelberg
allows you to mount two combats with the chainsaw per turn, and if
you're lucky you will have two ghouls each armed with a shiny shotgun
for both fights.
