And even more conveniently, the Elder Library Deck Builder (insert
shameless plug for David Davila here) lets me churn something out in
about 15-20 minutes that I can wander back and post, without having to
actually have my cards. whee!
Disclaimer: This deck assumes a non-errata'd Wake with Evening's
Freshness that replaces after combat, not after untap.
This is a 15-minute special, so I'm sure the proportions on some cards
are slightly off a bit. The 15 claws may be too many, but you'll
likely be stopping a LOT of your predator's actions (and maybe even
some of your prey's, if you're lucky). The concept is pretty basic -
load up your vampires as the equipment arrives, bleed and if they
block you, poke their eye out. This deck is VERY equipment heavy, but
despite starting out slowly forwards, certainly shouldn't suffer much
on its defense (freely cyclable Wake enables me to include a wopping
20). Pack Tactics is there to help deal some with heavy sneak & bleed
- for voters, of course, you only require the basic +1 intercept, and
there should be lots of that around.
Smiling Jack is a last-minute throwin - you'd have to look at the
table and decide whether incurring everyone's wrath is worth it -
although you -do- have the Wakes to defend him, if everyone gangs up
on you it could be risky. =) And people will be coming after the
steal-me-please Rack anyway.
