A third deck (see my other two posts from earlier tonight) that is
already built and tested (somewhat), but, could probably use some
readjustment.

I posted this originally about a year ago, if not more. Since then,
the "No Vote Pushing" rule was put into place. That meant cutting out
a significant chunk of extra votes in the deck. This is what's left
after my initial "weeding".

The "unweeded" version of the deck recently took first place in the
May NYC sanctioned tournament. This is through no skill of my own -
the final table was allied against a S&B deck, and the pool gain in
this kept me alive when all others were mowed down. However, while
playing it, my hand was vote-heavy and I could tell that it needed to
be cleaned up for the new rules.

One of the wonders of this deck is that it has unexpected assistance
from TWO secondary disciplines (Auspex and Celerity), and there's only
one card from each of those disciplines - Alacrity for Celerity (pay 2
blood for +1 stealth), and Telepathic Misdirection (Intercept/Bleed
Bounce at superior) for Auspex. These cards have each pulled me out of
impossibly-bad situations when other decks were falling by the wayside
(light intercept anti-vote, and a big bleeder). I haven't yet faced a
really focused Combat deck - no one in the area has enough Immortal
Grapples to pull it off, I suspect.

There's a couple combos of note:

Embrace (or Third Tradition) + Consanguineous Boon: make Presence
weenies, then gain pool for them

Aching Beauty + Change of Target: make opponents pay 1 pool to block
my action, THEN, just do something else!

Any Sucessful Vote + Voter Captivation: if 5+ pool isn't enough gain
from calling a sucessful Boon, then, I can gain up to 2 pool more with
this one, AND refill my big vamps (Minion Tap is a new addition to
help abuse this).

Deck name: Toreador Grand Ball - New Edition
Created by: Gwen Morse
Description: Several nice combos revolving around voting your way into
a GIANT pool, while building a weenie bleed army Embrace by Embrace.
Clan-specific to Toreador only! The weapons are agg prayer cards, they
don't choke slots and they fit the theme (a Sengir Dagger or Ivory Bow
isn't a weapon - it's a fashion statement!). Plus, they MIGHT lure an
Aching Beauty block! The theme is a large gathering of Toreador...the
Embrace's are "late arrivals", the titles are the High Society
dropping in, Screw the Masquerade and Sabbat Threat are VERY
destructive gossip, and the Boons are everyone in the clan enjoying
the refreshments :).
