No direction in crypt. Big and little. How are you going to get +3 vamps
out? How is Stanislava going to help you? (appart form +2 bleed) in a
tourny expect Archon Investigation. Mabye put in a soul gem, it is a big
vamp bleed deck?
Caitlin, Zebulon, Gregor Anderson, Lisette Vizquel, Lazveritus +2 hand,
Elisabetta Romano, Dylan +1 bleed.

+1 you can always discard the second.

-1 with protean

? 3 pool, there are better ways and you should be Block/Claws/Roth with
your master out of turn.

+5? you do want their blocked vamps in topor. Get 2 master phases somehow
or only put in 3.

See Archon

Nice master phase bleed for 2 ;-)

Maybe a few small vamps with DOM and protean skill cards?

? both out, more cats, possiblely a Raven Spy or 2.

Bleed or intercept? you have 3 rats warnings. More rats, less wake.

+3 keep them close, no weapons!

DO, Sup DotB, Combat ends. Oh that is annoying.

Get rid of these, maybe keep 4 skin of steel. With protean its, Block,
close range, Claws/Roth. DotB is good just to keep them close. Flesh of
Marble to stop damage.
>Protean: (24 cards)

+3 Goodbye celerity, use only when you have done your Roth that round.
>3 Form of Mist
More. Bleed, they block, continue at +1 stealth AND tap one of their bolckers.
>4 Earth Control
>3 Claws of the Dead
more each hand stike, they go to torpor.
>3 Wolf Claws
see above.
>3 Gleam of Red Eyes
??? Sup Wolf Claws
>3 Form of Ghost
??? Sup Claws of Dead
>4 Earth Meld
None. Block, close range, Claws/Roth, or FoM

4 Bums rush? 6 Deflection? Rats to untap, and then deflect or block.
How are you going to stop a cross table vote deck that is setting you up
for a 1-2?
How are you going to stop allies. Agg damage doesn't worry them and you
cant play DotB to keep them close.
How are you going to stop weenie bleed, by the time you get a big vamp you
are on 10 pool and next turn you have to stop 4 bleeders.
Just a few of the ways I have died with this type of deck.
