Well, there you have it.  It is possible, but "Damned Ugly"...  Essentially,
the only potential combat monster the Setites have is Hadrian Garrick, and
he lacks ser.  Originally I'd thunk to use the few non-Setites with ser
(Mirembe Kabbada, Petru Sipos, Julius, Murat, Suhailah, Makarios) and see
what I could cobble together, but there just wasn't much there for a combat
deck. Perhaps bruise/vote, but it'd be even more tenuous...  so I turned to
a classic POT weenie style, using the small pot/obf Nossies since I could
leverage the obf from the Setites with Cloaks.  I probably need more Potence
skill cards (or fewer Setites), since my Setites are basically helpless if
rushed right now.  It's not much of a deck, and it _was_ cobbled together
pretty much on the spur of the moment, but it would certainly be funny.
"Okay, Anson, you're Famous.  Now you're Marked. Now here come the Nossies,
and they want to hurt you."
