Title: The Fence-sitter's Nosferatu Rush
DejaNews Thread
This deck is for those of you, who like me, love the whole Nosferatu rush
bit, but can't decided between the pro-Beast camp and the pro-Watenda camp.
(And the anit-Beast, anti-Watenda camp...) And for those of you with only 3
Decapitates and 1 Disarm...or fewer.
So, the library is basically a close cousin to Peter's Nosferatu rush deck,
and I'm hoping he or Jasper (if he's back in-country...) or others could
point out any areas that could be improved.
Crypt
Duck 3 pot obf
Hasina Kesi 1 pot
Agrippina 4 pot OBF
2x Beast 7 ani cel POT OBF, rush & +1 hand -- 2 Beast cause of slight low rush
KoKo 2 pot
Lupo 2 pot
Olivia 5 POT OBF vic, Bishop
Watenda 3 obf, cancel opposing minion's strike
Agatha 4 POT obf
Dimple 2 obf
Average: 3.66, Worst: 23, Best: 7 (wow...I hadn't calculated that
before...)
Library (90)
Master (14)
2x Storm Sewers
Barrens (I find it preferable to Elder Library...)
Dreams of the Sphinx
3x Potence
2x Obfuscate
3x Blood Doll
2x Haven Uncovered
Action (17)
12x Bum's Rush (like Peter, not a big fan of Ambush...)
2x Rampage
3x Patagia
Action Modifier (4)
4x HIdden Lurker
Combat (55)
10x Immortal Grapple 10x Undead Strength 8x Torn Signpost 2x Increased
Strength 4x Fists o' Death 3x Decapitate 4x Behind You 2x Swallowed by the
Night (primarily here as back-up maneuvers, not +1 stealth) 8x Taste of Vitae
1x Disarm 2x Pulled Fangs 1x Amaranth
The Pulled Fangs & Amaranth were added in just recently when I went through
and discovered I had slightly mis-counted last time I put the deck
together...Amaranth there to use either early on or with a highly disposable
minion like Hasina...Pulled Fangs there just for the annoyance, since they'll
be in torpor without any blood at all...I was considering putting a copy or
two of the Society of Leopold in there, just because I saw one effectively
placed in a recent JOL playtest game, but although an interesting way to burn
a torporized vampire, it's not all that efficient.
So...fire away...
