the ABCs of VtES

A fun forum game everyone can play! Here are the rules: Create a 60 card deck, with a 12 card crypt. You must use "Happy Families" for your card ratios, using two or more disciplines. You may change the master card ratio between 10% and 40%. Dual and Three-way count for one of the disciplines. 1) Every vampire's name must start with the same letter as your first name. If a vampire has your first name, you MUST use that vampire. Example: my name is Edward. I must use Edward Vignes and Edward Neally. The rest of my vampires must start with the letter E. EDIT: If the vampire has your name, but it does not start with that name (I.E. your name is John and you want to use Dr. John Casey) it is ok to use that vampire. EDIT: Alternate spellings are okay. I.E. Peter = Pieter EDIT: If there are TOO many vampires with your first name (I.E. "John" of which there are 8) than use the only the ones that start with the first letter of your name, OR use at least half of them. 2) Every Master Card's name must start with the first letter of your middle name. EDIT:If you do not have a middle name, use the first letter of the city you were born in. 3) Every Minion card's name must start with the first letter of your last name. Post your deck below, and post to rate other's decks. Update your post with your scores. Rate each deck from 1 to 10 (10 being the highest) on two different aspects: Playability and Fun Factor. BONUS ROUND: If you actually have the cards to build your deck, double your score. If you play the deck in a tournament triple it. If you place in a tournament, dammit you win the internets. Independent Futurist. Contrarian (titled, X votes where X is the number of votes as the acting minion.) Target Vitals is always the better combat card.

if you have no middle name, you must play without master cards?

Not sure if you have noticed, Ke, but you have 10 crimethincs and only 3 actions that they are usable for in the deck (not counting the cardless go anarch action), which will make most of your crimethincs dead cards.

Even at one per turn they'll all be used and I think it's important in the opening hand. Also, it's important to be untapped to play cats guidance for intercept. Besides, a typical turn: Rush (built in), Untap, Bleed, Untap, then any of the following actions: 3x Equips (if placed on karsh) 2x Recruit ally / retainer 3x alternative rush 1x Coffin 1x Constant Or just stay untapped and block... Will test this deck for a laugh. Ke Amaranth Deck Building Tool : VTES NZ : VTES ANZ Facebook

CrimthInc has an extra requirement: > > Play after resolving a successful action that requires an anarch or makes this vampire an anarch. > You cannot play it after Karsh's rush.
