This is a deck design of mine, based on the weenie rush concept. Most of the combat cards do not cost blood, and the rush element stressed because a 3 cap is less likely to torporate than many. This deck is built under NCL and GT+. It has been played once, where it ousted 1 prey (Toreador intercept/vote/gun) before getting Anvil contested and falling to a Ventrue vote/bleed. Weenie rush combat deck pot/cel Crypt Volker, Puppet Prince (Brujah cap 5) \ Anvil (Brujah cap 6) |_ the big guyz Gaspare G.

That's not a weenie rush deck. Ive seen decks consisting entirely of 1 and 2 point vampires with zip guns and dragons breath rounds. Those are scary.

I can certainly see where 1000000 BRs would get boring - in the fact that the deck using them would be so ineffectual as to be wasting time. (and who has 999995 friends to play with that they could ever cram 1000000 cards into a single deck, anyhow?) But seriously, Your group doesn't put more than 1 Wakey into their decks? Please post a sample deck under 1CL for my edification, thank you. -- L.

When most of the combat is done by 3 and 4 cap vamps, it often takes more than one combat to torporize an enemy vamp. And with so many minions out (the purpose of weenie decks) you have a lot of potential actions. Thus, the 10 BRs are important to make this deck function the way it should. If your last sentence indicates that you play 1CL, I doubt you will find many that share your views. (In fact, there was a short thread about 1CL just a few weeks ago, wasn't there?) 4CL, OTOH ... gnfnrf >
