Superior Aus Crypt

Looking to formulate a library for this Crypt. I am however limited to Jyhad, VTES, AH, Dark Sovereign, and a box of uncommon Sabbat cards. For this deck I am avoiding any Sabbat vamps in the crypt, as I am still introducing a friend to the game. Isabel de Leon AUS Tor 3 Zoe AUS ob cel Mal 3 Blythe Candelria AUS th Tremer 3 Dorian Strack AUS cel Tor 4 Aleph AUS dom Mal 4 Felicia Mostrom AUS CEL pres Tor 5 Victoria AUS ob cel Malk 5 Ozmo AUS ob dom Malk 6 Kallista AUS CEL prot pres Tor 6 Tatiana Romanova AUS cel pres Tor 7 Greger ANderssen OB AUS prot dom Malk 7 Rebekka AUS TH pot PRES Trm 8 I am picturing utilizing any number of Telepathic Counters, Fast Reactions, and Precog Mobilization. This will be a 60 card deck. Thanks in advance.

60 card deck including fast reaction would be a though job for me. - Since AUS is your main skill I'd say you have not too many options for combat: dodge - ), psychic assault (but no Black hands and maneuvers go well with this card - maybe spirit's touch - to have both intercept and combat) and you have (concealed weapon +) .44 which is probably most common for this kind of deck - You need some poolgain / bloath so might use a powerbase/ blood doll / minion tap etc - Intercept you have plenty of in those sets (enhanced senses, spirit's touch, ....) - Some wake or forced awakening - Something to oust .... smiling jack might be an option here Maybe try to make a list with cards you have and want to include in the deck and post it ... it might be easier to comment on certain cards or amounts for people then just post a decklist.

Yeah usually a deck based around AUS would be dedicated to blocking. If you want to keep it really simple use smiling jack and small bleeds to oust, blood dolls and the rack for pool gain and read intentions for combat. The crypt looks basically fine.

5x Blood Doll 1x The Rack 1x Giant's Blood 1x Information Highway 1x Dreams of the Sphinx 2x Sudden Reversal 1x Fame 1x Smiling Jack 1x Society of Leopold 1x Heidelberg Castle 5x Eagle Sight 5x Telepathic Misdirection 3x Enhanced Senses 1x Spirit's Touch 10x Wake With Evening's Freshness 2x Delaying Tactics 5x .44 Magnum 4x Fake Out 2x Boxed In 5x Taste of Vitae 1x J.S. Simmons 1x Tasha Morgan 1x Mr. Winthrop Traveller Card Game

Nice suggestion. Think 15 masters would be too much on this amount .... I'd replace some with concealed weapon. Maybe drop 2-3 wakes for more intercept.

If you're going to block, use Forced Awakening over Wake with Evening's Freshness. If you're rich ang going to block, use Eyes of Argus. But always use On the Qui Vive. Drop Giant's Blood, Information Highway (Powerbase Montreal is more fun). Society of Leopold is cool, but this is a slot. Use Pentex instead. Precognition allows you to prevent that 1 agg (Claws, Ivory Bow, etc). Recommended weapons: Ivory Bow (1), Sniper Rifle (1), .44 Magnum (2-3). Also, you can use things such as Ossian or Young Bloods. Or Gregory Winter.

I just happened to have gotten a few sniper rifles in the mail from an order thanks. Not sure if I have a Power Base Montreal though. I do have a Pentex Sub.. though. and one lonely Ivory Bow. How many Fast reactions would you insert if you were to? Since I have been playing mostly two player games I will replace the Telepathic Mis with a few Fast Reactions, and a few more intercept. Goolie gee that Eyes of Argus is a pretty penny. 18-20 bucks a card... arg-us.. Since it is a predominate Malk, Toredor deck I feel a few Aching Beauties, and a Madness Network would serve in the master count.

I tell ya' Brandon. I so miss Santa Cruz and the game scene. As it is I am in Florida (Boredia) were there is nil game scene. My current draft keeping the suggestions in mind. Played it's first game against a Gangrel deck and won. Art Museum 2x aching beauty 3x blood dolls Dreams of Sphinx Giants Blood Heidielburg castle Info Highway Pentex Sub 2x sudden reversal precognative mobility 2x pulse of canallie speed of thought aire of elation muddled vampire hunter JS Simmons tasha 3x forced awakening 3xWake With Evening Freshness (all mine are tied to other decks) 4x Fast reactions 3x spirits touch 5xPrecog 2x 44s catacombs ivory bow palatial estate 2x sniper rifles 5x concealed weapons 3x man stopper rounds 4x taste of vitae 2x fake out The fast reactions turned out to be helpful in dealing with Basil the Aggravated Beast. The Methuselah that brings Smiling jack into play doesn't pay correct?

I would be idly tempted to have a Pulse of the Canaille in there if you have one. Even as a baseline threat with a .44 Magnum it can be a useful option. Retired Baron of Sydney, Australia, 418

Got two actually I always go for the Pulse. It really pressured my opponent into blocking. I am pondering using what obfuscate there is to put in a few hidden lurkers but I am reserved about that.

So, what you do is make sure that the guy getting the Pulse of Canaille already has a .44 Magnum. Retired Baron of Sydney, Australia, 418

Both hidden lurker and fast reaction are considered weak cards by majority of the players and there are good reasons for it. I wouldn't put any of them in the deck. For a AUS deck there is surprisingly small number of intercept cards in your deck. Check TWDA. Weenie AUS concept is one of the most popular and successfull on tournaments so there is plenty of very good and proven builds out there.

What is TWDA? How many intercepts would be reasonable? What types? *Taking out fast reactions, and replacing with intercept enhanced senses, and Precognition. * What makes Fast reaction, and Hidden lurker weak cards?

Tournament winning deck archive (the link is on the left side:events : tournament winning decks) I think both fast reaction and hidden lurker are very powerful but they are hard to play: if you do not have enough intercept you won't be blocking and they will just jam your hand; you need enough untapped minions to play them and you prefer something good in combat like ivory bow, which makes them being stuck in your hand most of the time while you could use other cards like more wake / intercept / maneuver / ....

I never hesitate to discard a hidden lurker, especially if one turns up before I get at least three OB vamps out. I always figure that out of five I might only use three. Which is why I try to include an Elder Library, and The Barrens in a hidden lurker flavored deck. I find Fast Reactions harder to pull off then HL though. So I seldom stock too many.

I'm in almost the same boat with cards to work with this is the crypt I used last weekend for my weenie gun wall: Crypt (12) 1 Aleph 4-cap [Malkavian] Malkavian [dom] [AUS] G1 1 Brazil 2-cap [Malkavian] Malkavian [aus] G1 1 Colin Flynn 3-cap [Toreador] Toreador [aus] [cel] G1 1 Dieter Kleist 2-cap [Toreador] Toreador [aus] G1 1 Dollface 3-cap [Malkavian] Malkavian [aus] [obf] G1 1 Dorian Strack 4-cap [Toreador] Toreador [cel] [AUS] G1 1 Idalia, Prophet of Guadalajara 4-cap [Malkavian antitribu] Malkavian antitribu [dem] [AUS] G2 2 Isabel de Leon 3-cap [Toreador] Toreador [AUS] G2 1 Victoria 5-cap [Malkavian] Malkavian [cel] [obf] [AUS] G2 2 Zöe 3-cap [Malkavian] Malkavian [cel] [obf] [AUS] G2 eagle's sight & Fast reaction FTW

I am trouble shooting an Assamite/Malkavian deck. I found that the sniper rifles i ordered via ebay came in handy (when i could get them in play). So I have two sniper rifles, and Kali's Fang. I am about to take out one each of the Hidden Lurker, and one of the two fast reactions.. just to add some intercept, and a hint of stealth. I sure do like whena Bums Rush or ambush goes onto be a hidden lurker.
