Where Daliyah really shines, however, is in the all Protean deck. There are
plenty of little vampires with Protean, and even a good supply of small ones
with superior Protean. By designing a good Weenie Protean deck, you have a
great place to take advantage of both of Daliyah's strengths--her PRO and the
fact that she is a 4 point vampire.

The following is an all Protean deck that does surprisingly well, and while it
is far more a Gangrel deck than a Nosferatu deck, Daliyah is one of the
starring components:

"Yummm. Proteolicious."

This deck is pretty much the extreme end of the Strike: Combat Ends nightmare
that leads directly into heavy Immortal Grapple useage. It is an 80 card deck
with 18 S:CE cards, but because of the deck structure, they will rarely, if
ever, go unused and will rarely cause hand jam. The deck has persistient light
bleed--a constant stream of small vampires Computer Hacking for 2 each--that if
is blocked, will just play Form of Mist and get through anyway. Due to the low
card combo intensity of this deck (the basic action consists of 2
cards--Computer Hacking and Form of Mist), there is plenty of room for defenses
and what not. It packs a great deal of light intercept, 8 WWEF, and enough
Earth Meld (S:CE-untap this vampire) to be a nightmarish wall to even the most
persistient Weenie Tap and Bleed deck. Delaying Tactics is almost always
useful, and can shut down a single minded vote deck for a whole turn (Delaying
Tactics their KRC and watch them look arounf confused and hunt for the rest of
the turn). The Renegade Garous are a great defense against Stealth and Bleed,
weenie decks, and any slow soft vampire deck. Yeah, they cost 5 pool, but
between the small vampires, blood dolls, and Eco Terrorists, this deck has a
good pool supply to work with. Get the Garou on a Hawg with a Meat Cleaver or
the RPG launcher, and you have a horrifying killer.

This deck will have trouble with a dedicated IG combat deck, but hopefully the
Bone Spurs will make them work in another direction for a while (and if you are
expecting heavy IG combat, swap out the Bosy Flares for more Bone Spur and mix
some Flesh of Marble in for some of the S:CE). The Garous will become little
more than 5 pool loss for you against a deck that has any worthwhile combat (or
the ability to steal your allies...), but are very effective in most other
situations, as is the deck as a whole.
