TWD - Midwest Mayhem Tainted Spring - Madison WI, USA (18 May 2025)

Midwest Mayhem - Madison - Tainted Spring Madison WI May 18, 2025 2R+F 12 players Darby Keeney www.vekn.net/event-calendar/event/12149 -- 0GW2 + 5VP in final Deck Name: Compromise Created by: Darby Keeney and Reagan Keeney Description:Doberhuahuas fetch sticks and rampage. A variant of this deck won a 9 player tournament a couple of years ago, after Reagan corrected a few imbalances. I continue to play the deck because it is too much fun to set aside. I'm giddy about getting its TWD entry in "Madison Mayhem - Tainted Springs" Many of you won't get the concept for the deck - it relates back to a brilliant 2014 Audi commercial that can be found here: Oh wow, that actually embedded! I have created tracking proxies with screenshots from that commercial to handle the action modifier not attaching to the allies. I find they add to the play experience, and the first Tainted Doberhuahua should always be named "Franchesca Tiramisu." Don't ask. The "tech" is pretty straightforward. -- Ludmilla amasses Doberhuahua for free and leverages [vic] stealth. -- Rurik offers some bleed pressure, New Blood was supposed to be 2nd copy -- Xipe tracks down Doberhuahuas that get inappropriately adopted There's probably a viable version of using a couple more Villeins and the G6 Nos Primogen with bleed specials instead of the 3-4 caps with ANI. From there abuse the puppies for rush, blocks, presses and unlocks to bounce as needed. Be creative. Jake Washington has torpored a full 5 cap blocker and lived to tell the tale....while attempting to bleed for 0. A Stray has held the Heart of Cheating and sacrificed himself mid-Entracement. The deck gets away with odd things.
