Deck Name: The Tremere Antitribu keep their Eye on Talbot Created By: The Lasombra Description: Ladislaw Toth takes up both the Eye of Hazimel and Talbot's Chainsaw with Magic of the Smith. He can then take two rush actions per turn for the rest of the game. The other vampires are only there to support the necessary blood and pool gain required to keep the Eye and Talbot's functional. Use Absimilard's Army if it comes up to have minions to sacrifice to the Chainsaw. Use the Path of Lilith and Dragonbound to oust your successive preys. Crypt: (12 cards, Min: 15, Max: 29, Avg: 5.75) 4 Ladislas Toth for AUS DOM THA 7, Tremere Antitribu, Archbishop 1 Saiz aus dom 3, Tremere Antitribu 1 Yasmin the Black dom pre AUS THA 6, Tremere antitribu 1 Thelonius aus dom tha 4, Tremere Antitribu 1 Selena AUS DOM THA 6, Tremere antitribu 1 Reverend Blackwood DOM obf THA 6, Tremere Antitribu, Bishop 1 Heinrick Schlempt tha 2, Tremere Antitribu 1 Elena Mendoza Vasquez dom obt AUS THA 6, Tremere Antitribu 1 Kij Dansky AUS DOM obt THA 8, Tremere Antitribu, Priscus Library: (90 cards) Master (14 cards) 5 Blood Doll 1 Communal Haven: Cathedral 1 Elder Library 1 Fame 2 Fortitude 1 Infernal Pact 1 Path of Lilith, The 1 Sociopath 1 University Hunting Ground Action (14 cards) 4 Govern the Unaligned 4 Magic of the Smith 6 Recure of the Homeland Action Modifier (14 cards) 4 Bonding 8 Freak Drive 2 Seduction Reaction (17 cards) 4 Deflection 4 Enhanced Senses 4 Forced Awakening 5 Telepathic Counter Combat (24 cards) 5 Apportation 4 Aura Reading 3 Blood Fury 3 Superior Mettle 4 Walk of Flame 5 Weather Control Events (3 cards) 1 Absimilard's Army 1 Blood Trade 1 Dragonbound Equipment (4 cards) 2 Eye of Hazimel 2 Talbot`s Chainsaw

Use Absimilard's Army if it comes up > to have minions to sacrifice to the Chainsaw. Use the Path of Lilith > and Dragonbound to oust your successive preys. That is an awesome synergy! I wonder if Absimillard's Army and Agaitas synergize together? LSJ? Does putting a card in play count as playing the card? Comments Welcome, Norman s. Brown, Jr XZealot Archon of the Swamp

Since there's no card drawn to replace it, the question is moot with regards to Agaitas, but no, moving a card from your library to the ready region does not count as "playing" the card under the standard definition (where "playing" involves playing the card from your hand in the normal fashion, meeting the requirements, etc.) -- LSJ (vte...@white-wolf.com) V:TES Net.Rep for White Wolf, Inc.

Muaziz keeps her Eye on Talbot, Ignazio Giovanni keeping his Eye on Talbot, or even Artemis and Theron keep their Eyes on Talbot all have the potential to be better decks. Benefits granted by using Tremere instead: Chantry Arcane Library Muaziz with +1 stealth on all actions Free diablerie with Muaziz Rebecca with +1 stealth on all actions Benefits granted by using Giovanni instead: Ambrosius, the Ferryman Ignazio's built in rush action Whispers from the Dead to retrieve equipment burned by Canine Horde Benefits granted by using Malkavian Antitribu instead: Sibyl's Tongue Reality Mirror I haven't played with Toth yet so he will get the first crack at the deck type.

Turbo muaziz had two main variants: hit for lots and send to torpor empty, or use a blood fury-disarm-amaranth. After playing it for some months, i discarded the "talbot" module, since it was excesively pool intensive, and packed transient rushes and nose of the hound. Also, the tremere toys pack granted excellent performance in the long run, since ankara citadel made freak drives for free, and stacking depravity-eye-sword of nuln granted an excellent end game.

Moreover, Malkavians antitribu are the weakest clan in combat. Tremeres are obviously the best clan for your combo. You can even include Ublo-Satha for increased combat protection. He also has Celerity, which provides an additional strike with Chainsaw. You can use a small fraction of Malkavians Antitribu to play Sibyl's Tongue, but I'd prefer The Colonel, since he is cheaper than Artemis (he doesn't have Fortitude, but !Malks aren't good fighters anyway). You may even use both anti-Malkavian Black Hand vamps to enable useful cards like The Admonitions. But the core of your crypt, IMHO, should be Tremere (or anti-Tremere), so you'll have to choose between Gargoyle fraction and anti-Malk fraction.
