TWD - Lost Kindred Paris, France - June 24th 2018

Lost Kindred Paris, France June 24th, 2018 3R+F 13 players www.vekn.net/event-calendar/event/8970 Thomas Gibson Deck name: Crows and Bats Description: As I don't like tweaking good solid decks before playing them, and since it's the first time I was playing it, it is the list Orian gave me of the deck he played on the French NC day 1, give or take 3 cards. I did the following changes: - 1 Pentex +1 Lifeboon and- 2 Underbridge Sray +2 Canine Horde. I know that Orian adores his little puppies, but I don't. My changes were minor... Pentex for Lifeboon is a matter of taste. For this tournament, Lifeboon was useless and I would have prefered a Pentex. It's less versatile than Pentex but it can always give an opportunistic GW. All the rest is the same, one could slightly tweak the fight on 5 cards I'd say.

I've been running a more gangrel-centric version of this deck. What's the value of going the anarch route? Is it just for the revolts or is there something I'm missing? Also, do you feel like you choked on the combat package at all?

In general, slight increase in pool damage, additional combat card options. Things this deck doesn't do include field training superior disciplines, moving though cards and surprise monkey wrench/crimethinc with red question, and of course discarding those cards via PB LA for untap. This deck also churns through crypt with converts. DJhedgehog, of you run a girls ish gangrel/!gangrel build, Aksynia and crimethinc are solid.
