Title: The deck that makes Tiberius useful!
DejaNews Thread

For about a minute after my last post I was thinking I was really clever for
deciding to build a Obf/Cel deck, but then I thought "Hey, wait a minute. 
Isn't that just an Assamite deck?  Doh.", But I built it anyways.  Any comments
are welcome.

"The deck that makes Tiberius useful!"

1 Dimple: 2 obf
1 Watenda: 3 obf
1 Zoe: 3 obf, cel
2 Tansu Bekir: 4 OBF, cel
2 Tiberius-Scandalmonger: 5 obf, cel
1 Abd Al Rashid: 5 obf, CEL
1 Victoria: 5 obf, cel
1 Kailinda: 6 OBF, CEL
1 Zachary: 7 OBF, CEL
1 Miranda Sanova: 8 obf, CEL

Victoria is good 'cause she has a great picture and the ability to get you 2
free pool (assuming I can keep the edge, which is a big assumption).  Watenda
is good, 'cause, well, he is Watenda.  I'm using 2 Tiberius 'cause he has one
of the coolest pictures ever and I have always wanted to build a deck that
makes it worth using him, and gosh darn, I'm gonna use two of him.  Miranda,
well, she would probably be better off as a second Zach, but I wanted to have a
token vote, and well, I always thought she was really cute. There might also be
a few smallish Assamites that I could be using, but I don't have them, so I
don't know who they are.

5 Celerity
5 Blood Doll
4 Haven Uncovered
1 The Rack

9 Disguised Weapon
3 Hidden Lurker
10 Flash
5 Blur
5 Acrobatics
4 Pursuit
4 Side Strike
9 Psyche!
1 Fast Hands
10 Bum's Rush
3 Taste of Vitae
2 Dragon's Breath Rounds
6 .44 Magnum
2 Saturday Night Special
1 Flame Thrower
1 Ivory Bow

The Side Strikes might or might not be better off as something like more Blur
or Pursuit.  The Fast Hands, while probably going to be mostly useless, is
worth having just for the possibility of stealing someones Flame Thrower or
something and Bluring Napalm all over them.  The deck will have a lot of
trouble with pool management, but should be pretty good at killing stuff and
pretty capable of dealing with S:CE (9 Psyche, 3 Hidden Lurker, Watenda).  The
Vamps will run out of blood a lot (although probably not from damage), which
the Rack might help with.  If only I had more Tastes for this deck.
