Title: Toreador Interceptors Revisited
Deja.com Thread
After playing 5 games with this deck and failing to win a full victory
point I?m going to try something different. It went through many minor
modifications but I tried to stay faithful to the original intent. The
deck is fun to play and can certaintly stay busy in a 5 player game
(intercepting left and right) but it falls short when trying to oust
its prey and lacks enough permanent intercept to handle stealth
bleeders.

The basic idea is to equip a minion with a gun and then block with
another minion. If you can successfully block then you can you play
Fast Reaction and shoot the blocked minion for 6 or more points without
taking any damage yourself. During one game Dieter stepped in front of
Anvil (much to the amusement of my predator) and was punched into
torpor. However, Felicia Fact Reacted and shot Anvil into torpor.
With all the wakes it is fairly easy to play the Fast Reaction (even if
you have to pay one blood to use the forced).
