TWD - Fall of the Camarilla 2

Fall of the Camarilla 2 October 16 2021 Paris, France 3R+F 16 players Vincent Ripoll www.vekn.net/event-calendar/event/9939 -- 2GW7 + 4VP Deck Name: Enkidu CEL/PRO Author: Ankha Description: A deck I hadn't played in a while, with some changes I didn't even remember compared to the version I used to win the French NC in 2012 www.vekn.fr/decks/twd.htm#2012fncrf The deck was originally a multi-rush, but since I reduced the number of alternate rushes, I never managed to perform two rushes in the same turn during the tournament. I made a few mistakes in the first round that cost me the GW, but the 4-players format (16 players only) greatly helped making GW in the other rounds. The final round was fairly easy to win once my predator and grand-predator had annihilated each other. Final seating: > 1 Serge Cirri (FoS BS with Nefertiti merged) > 2 Christophe Verdier (Weenie Samedi equip / rush) > 3 Vincent Ripoll (Enkidu) > 4 Axel Huet (fat FoS Bleed with Nakhthorheb) > 5 Antonin Mérieux (Samedi Wall with Troglodytia) Crypt (13 cards, min=9 max=44 avg=7.0) ====================================== 6x Enkidu, The Noah 11 for ANI CEL OBF POT PRO Gangrel antitribu:4 2x Andre LeRoux 3 aus Toreador:5 1x Matasuntha 10 ANI AUS CEL FOR PRO Gangrel:5 -- a last minute addition just in case Enkidu is contested 1x Joseph Fischer 3 PRO Gangrel antitribu:5 1x T.J. 3 cel for Gangrel:4 1x Leo Washington 2 cel pro Gangrel antitribu:4 1x Iris Bennett 1 pro Caitiff:5 Library (90 cards) ================== Master (16) 2x Archon Investigation 4x Blood Doll 2x Fame 2x Guardian Angel 1x Secure Haven 1x Sociopath -- very useful 2x Tension in the Ranks -- useful as always, even if it slowed down my Nocturn cross-table buddy one turn during round 1 2x Wider View Action (6) 1x Aranthebes, The Immortal 1x Bum's Rush 1x Deep Song 1x Heroic Might 1x Sense Death 1x Taunt the Caged Beast Equipment (1) 1x Heart of Nizchetus Retainer (3) 1x Homunculus 2x Raven Spy -- Mr. Winthrop could fit it, but since I have only two copies, I'd rather take no chance in contesting it Action Modifier (1) 1x Enkil Cog Reaction (6) 6x Sense the Savage Way -- as good as ever Combat (57) 2x Armor of Vitality -- useful during that combat against Nana Buruku 3x Canine Horde 3x Claws of the Dead 9x Earth Meld 1x Flesh of Marble 2x Form of Mist 15x Psyche! 10x Pursuit 2x Skin of Steel 3x Stutter-Step 7x Taste of Vitae Prince of Paris, France Ratings Coordinator, Rules Director

I lost the detailed report when posting, so here is a one sentence review per round. Round 1 Antonin, under pressure from an inexperienced Lasombra, smartly counters my famous yoyo kill and sweeps the table thanks to the acceleration provided by a surprise Blessing of the Loa and a desperate bleed from my prey in Daring who bounces twice and hits me. Antonin GW 4 Round 2 Taking advantage of Gilles' overconfidence, Candice kills him before succumbing under the combined rushes of Enkidu and Christophe's Nana who will not have drawn his Enkidu, and who will be proved that Enkidu is stronger in combat. Ankha GW 3 Candice 1 Round 3 After having softened the vampires of Eleonore, my prey, Enkidu makes reign of terror with his Raven Spies and beats everyone. GW 4. Final Having dozed off during the first quarter of an hour, I notice when I wake up that my predator and my grand-predator have killed each other, leaving only one question hanging: will Axel kill Antonin before I make the table?
