[DECK] Groundfighting

[Guest]

Archived from groups: rec.games.trading-cards.jyhad (More info?)

Deck Name: Germaine
Created By: Tom
Description: Germaine & friends enjoy becoming anarchs. Ok, it's just a
variation of the rifle/rush decks, but there are a few add ons and
re-thoughts. Main problem with multirush decks, IMO, is having a weenie deck
as prey or predator, since you can't rush them all without depleting your
dekc with a single player. In order to avoid so, I packed gehenna events
that target such decks, and Carver's meat packing.

And obviously the merged version of germaine. Not only for the +2
conditional bleed, but also for becoming anarch. Diversion wasn't enough
motive to go anarch with this kind of deck, but the fact that groundfighting
is an inferior flash AND allows to cancel drawing out the beast... well,
sounds sweet. We'll try to test it this weekend

I'd say your crypt is too fat, even if you play 7 mtaps. Germaine is
your business end, the rest should be there to bleed/rescue/etc.

A direct intervention or 4 might be good for a one-man-army deck.

Maybe 2 bums could become 2 big game?
Heart of the city might be a nice addition, unless you're worried by
incidental bleeds for 5 with germaine ADV.

Infernal pursuit is next to a necessity in a deck like this. IMO.

I wouldn't use restricted vitae in a deck like this. Also the -handsize
of these events could be very bad for you. I'm not entirely convinced
these are a good idea. I'd probably stick with torpid blood and
dragonbound.

Well, the fact is that I'll actually try to play 2 or 3 vamps at a time. One
man army decks have so many flaws that it's something I'll have to correct.
Perhaps dropping 1 copy of each germaine for an additional horthulf and
becket/muhandis. I know the deck is fat, but if I want to nullify vamps of 4
cap and below with the events, then I should play bigger vamps.

A horrible mistake for my side. Yes, will drop 2 flurrys for 2 hearts of the
city and add 2 big games instead of something else

flurry of action at inferior does the work most of the time, but a copy or
two wouldn't hurt, yes

I'll add more beckett ADV to avoid such drawback. I don't think restricted
will hurt me, since I won't hunt ussually and the possibility of an older
vamp hunting on my vamps... well, it's an older vamp action that won't
target my pool.

Thanks for the inputs. Heart of the city is definitely a must, and I'll
retool the crypt to manage more vamps. Perhaps replacing the
rifles/disguised for magnums might be a way to put more vamps in play.
