Pressing Flesh Paris, France June 24th 2023 3R+F 15 players Jorge Delgado www.vekn.net/event-calendar/event/10792 Deck Name: Carna & friends Created by: Jorge Delgado Description: Classic Carna Grinder deck, nothing exceptional. I built the deck, played it once in a friendly game, did some modifications, and played it only once more before the tournament. I wasn't expecting the meta that I saw (warzone), but more a varied meta (some combat rush, some vote, some bleed, not too much intercept). It was a total failure my reading of the meta, but I managed to profit from the other players rushing each other (I generaly waited till the other player's vampires where in torpor to launch my bleeds). Crypt (12 cards, min=14 max=27 avg=5.25) 3x Carna, The Princess Witch 7 AUS DOM THA primogen Tremere:3 1x Aisling Sturbridge 5 AUS THA dom Tremere:2 1x Blythe Candeleria 3 THA aus Tremere:2 1x Cohn Rose 5 THA aus dom pre Tremere:3 -- will go 1x Eugenio Estevez 6 AUS THA dom for Tremere:3 -- will go 1x Hannigan 5 AUS THA dom Tremere antitribu:2 1x Martin Franckel 3 AUS tha Tremere:3 1x Masika St. John 3 THA Tremere:3 1x Selena 6 AUS DOM THA Tremere antitribu:3 -- +1 to be added 1x Elena Mendoza Vasquez 6 AUS THA dom obt Tremere antitribu:3 --will go -- in general not very happy with the 6-cap vampires in the crypt (althoug on paper it looks good). All of them will go out except Selena, which I will increase by 1. Probably will add some small Tremere. Library (80 cards) Master (12) 1x Academic Hunting Ground 1x Anarch Troublemaker 1x Arcane Library 4x Blood Doll 1x Chantry 1x Direct Intervention 1x Misdirection -- will go, didn't find it useful 1x Pentex(TM) Subversion -- will add another one 1x Powerbase: Montreal -- overall happy with the master module, I will probably add 2x Wider View (because it's triffle, I can cycle the crypt and it helps me pool a little bit) Action (15) 12x Govern the Unaligned -- will remove 2 govern 3x Magic of the Smith -- will add 1x MotS Ally (2) 1x Carlton Van Wyk 1x Ponticulus -- nothing to say, great value Equipment (4) 1x Bowl of Convergence 1x Heart of Nizchetus 1x Ivory Bow 1x Sniper Rifle -- will add 1x Kevlar Vest. removed it from the first version and I regret. Action Modifier (8) 3x Bonding -- -1 bonding, 2 should be enough 4x Conditioning 1x Foreshadowing Destruction -- will go -- need to add 2x Mirror Walk Reaction (27) 3x Deflection 2x Delaying Tactics 2x Eagle's Sight 6x Eyes of Argus -- -1 2x Forced Awakening 3x My Enemy's Enemy 3x On the Qui Vive 6x Telepathic Misdirection -- -1 -- I think I should remove some bounce and wake to have better proportions regarding other cards Combat (12) 4x Apportation 1x Flames of the Netherworld -- will go, didn't find it useful 7x Theft of Vitae -- I overall feel that the combat module is enough. In a low combat environment it largely does the job. Most of the time combat is cycled against S:CE to try and draw some reactions. Prince of Paris, France Ratings Coordinator, Rules Director
