The crypt is still rather on the high end for costs, but most of the
decks are geared toward combat or politics within my group.
The focus of the deck is bleed with combat avoidance (primary) and
bleed with torporizing combat (secondary). The Protean disciplines are
intended to help expand upon discouraging the block with reduced costs
as I do not have a large quantity of Entombments. Minions Luther, Sela
and Aaron are the only vampires within the crypt who do not have the
capability to anything else except Hunt, Bleed or fight. All other
minions possess the necessary disciplines to help cycle cards through
actions besides Bleed and Combat. The Rituals are there to provide the
opportunity to diablerize a fairly full vampire in torpor if Aaron or
some other 4 point minion is on the table to fill your vampires. The
Graverobbings are also there to provide opportunities of stealing a
minion with blood who is in torpor. The combat combo is Claws or
Entombment with Arms of the Abyss (AotA) at superior. Otherwise,
combat is designed more for escape than mayham.
