[deck] No one expects the Malkavian Inquisition?

Howdy All, Okay, we've all seen/been annoyed by this in one form or another... (Dons asbestos underwear...) So, how does this particular configuration look? In particular, is the withdrawal strategy feasible? (Is withdrawal even allowed in tournament play?) If so, I would hope to manage 2-3 VP consistently. Thanks, Alex ----- Deck Name: Capillaries Created by: Alex Broadhead Description: Sneak bleed on offense. Bounce and end combat on defense. Withdraw, if possible. do + ob. Weaknesses: Cannot withdraw under various Anarchs... Crypt: (12 cards) [Min: 16, Max: 27, Avg: 5.42] 1 Agrippina ( OBF pot, Nosferatu, 4) 1 Didi Meyers (aus cel DOM obf, Malkavian, 5) 1 Kalinda ( CEL OBF tha, Assamite, 6) 1 Laurent de Valois ( ani dom obf, Nosferatu, 4) 3 Mariel (aus DOM OBF tha, Malkavian, 7) 1 Ozmo (AUS dom obf, Malkavian, 6) 1 Quira (AUS OBF obt tha, Malkavian Antitribu, 6) 1 Roland Bishop (aus dom obf, Malkavian, 4) 1 Tansu Bekir ( cel OBF, Assamite, 4) 1 Zebulon (aus dom OBF pro, Malkavian, 5) Library: (60 cards) Master (14 cards) 1 Asylum Hunting Ground 2 Blood Doll 3 Dominate 2 Elysium: The Arboretum* 2 Information Highway 1 Major Boon* 1 Metro Underground 1 Millicent Smith, Puritan Vampire Hunter* 1 Sudden Reversal Action (8 cards) 1 Arson 4 Govern the Unaligned 1 Kine Dominance 2 Sacrificial Lamb ActionMod (23 cards) 2 Bonding 4 Cloak the Gathering 2 Command of the Beast 5 Conditioning 2 Elder Impersonation 2 Faceless Night 2 Foreshadowing Destruction 4 Lost in Crowds Reaction (13 cards) 4 Deflection 1 Delaying Tactics* 2 Obedience* 2 Redirection* 2 Telepathic Counter* 2 Wake with Evening's Freshness Combo (2 cards) 2 Swallowed by the Night Further comments: * indicates cards helpful during withdrawal. I don't want too many cards that have to be in hand at the end, but hopefully I can hold onto Delaying Tactics and an Obedience if needed, and Millicent and a Counter. Try to get Mariel out quickly - she is the core of the deck. She can Govern, and her special should help cope with rush. (The Obedience is mainly for her personal use; Elysium should be used after her power as well. The Metro is also for her.) Maybe I should add a fourth Mariel for one of the off-clan OBF only types? Is Mariel old enough for Obedience and Redirection to be useful? The Arson is in as a means to cycle stealth out of my hand, if needed. Hopefully there is an intercept deck at the table with a location that he really wants to keep... It seems more functional than a Deal with the Devil. Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/

NRA is perfectly legal in limited formats (sealed deck, draft), and by this judge, encouraged!
