Comments: The Ventrue are mainly in for contestation, as they were highly popular in Mike's playgroup.

Xian's comments: Okay, these two decks are fairly similar, functionally. Both plan to suck away as much blood
from their prey's vampires as possible, and hope to avoid combat while having some defense to stay alive.
Personally, I like the Computer Hacking in Mike's deck, and Josh's deck could possibly use some bleed actions
or modifiers...there is space to go up to 90. With Josh's crypt, Govern the Unaligned might work as well, but
then a master or two might be required as well. Josh's crypt selection is obviously more tightly focused, but
both are pretty good. I would recommend taking out the Ventrue from Mike's deck, but I suspect their
contestation power was very high in order to have included them. I don't have a lot to add, really. If I were
building the deck, I'd probably switch the combat cards (and equipment) to be about 8 to 10 Theft of Vitae,
and fill the rest of the space with Movement of the Mind, in order to run away from big scary combat decks. I
do like the general utility added by the reaction cards included in each. My big new lesson is to never ever
depend on lots and lots of Deflections...it's been getting me hammered in a number of games. Ah well. That's
it for now!
