Here´s a deck from 2004. Just remove old tech and add the modern goodies and you´re good to go. Deck Name: (she´s got the) east side blues Created By: Erik Torstensson Description: Doesn´t like weenies or rushes, but when Arika performs 4+ actions on her first turn, the table swings to your advantage. Hidden strength is good vs Aid/Carrion, Trap, Grapple and can even be used offensivly in late game. Cloaks are good for stolen minions. PTO worked fine, but wasn´t gamewinning. You can get votes by robbing other titles, if needed. Crypt: (12 cards, Min: 17, Max: 44, Avg: 7,75) 5 Arika aus cel DOM FOR OBF PRE 11, Ventrue, Inner Circle 2 Gratiano DOM obf OBT pot 8, Lasombra, Priscus 2 Guido Lucciano dom obf OBT 5, Lasombra 1 Ignacio dom obt pot 4, Lasombra 1 Cameron dom pot 3, Lasombra 1 Banjoko obt pot DOM 5, Lasombra Library: (90 cards) Master (15 cards) 1 Barrens, The 1 Coven, The 2 Dreams of the Sphinx 1 Fortitude 1 Giant's Blood 1 Golconda: Inner Peace 3 Minion Tap 1 Obfuscate 1 Political Hunting Ground 1 Uptown Hunting Ground 2 Visit from the Capuchin Action (28 cards) 9 Baltimore Purge 2 Distraction 6 Govern the Unaligned 9 Graverobbing 2 Scouting Mission Action Modifier (31 cards) 5 Cloak the Gathering 1 Elder Impersonation 1 Faceless Night 5 Forgotten Labyrinth 13 Freak Drive 3 Lost in Crowds 2 Seduction 1 Spying Mission Political Action (9 cards) 1 Ancient Influence 3 Dramatic Upheaval 1 Political Stranglehold 3 Protect Thine Own 1 Reins of Power Combat (6 cards) 6 Hidden Strength Combo (1 cards) 1 Swallowed by the Night Overkill is highly underrated. You know, like in computor games and such.

Good topic ! I've been trying several b'purge-decks the last few months, with varying degrees of success. I think when Purging, there's some caveats to take into account: - you're combo's rather card intensive: you need to have the purges, make 'm succeed, get out of torpor, decide what to do with the torpored vamps, get out of torpor, survive, AND find a way to kill your 1st prey without the rest of the table gaining their vp's with their finely tuned ousting machines. - Since you'll play 10-11 caps, multi-acting is in order. - Since people will be crosstable rescuing and ganging up, a good plan for what to do AFTER you purge is a necessity. This means, probably, that you'll be either diablerizing (beware of Carlton!) or graverobbing, or both. That means either having the votes (and a lasombra to be able to purge those votes crosstable), and dominate. - Also, having a lasombra present is obligatory if you don't want to dunk anarch converts, tupdogs, dom-weenies or progeny's. - Some form of built in +bleed is nice, since you're library will be clogged enough as is and the goal still is to get those vp's. With this in mind, ive tried and thought of several options: - Byzar 10 FOR NEC OBF AUS dom Has permanent +1 Stealth, FOR for freakdrive, access to the +1 stealth equipment, can bounce, and has by card-text a good defense against Carlton-burning when you go diablerizing. - Hazimel: 11 CHI FOR AUS POT Has the votes 2 votes, gets the stealth from purging, costs 2 blood to d-act against which is nice (bye tupdogs), has built in +bleed, and FOR and AUS for multiacting and bouncing. - Luca Italicus: 10 OBT NEC FOR DOM Lasombra (yay), has votes, acces to stealth and multiacting, dominate, and teams up well with Bruce the Guy, in case you want to go the vote route for ousting. - Gerald Windham 10 THA DOM FOR AUS +1 stealth, Chantry!, Dom and For. - Saulot: 11 FOR AUS XXX Becomes unblockable with Neutral Guard, has +bleed, has a built-in bloat engine, can multiact and bounce, no votes though, and you still need that lasombra.

My favorite by far is Alonso Petrodon. - - Warsaw Station is awesome for this. (A bit worse then Chantry, of course) - Justicar: 2nd Tradition - Enkil Cog first, Baltimore in your turn, Baltimore in Predator's turn and Alonso also keeps 3 bleed for ousting without extra cards.

This whole thing came up because of Petrodon. I haven't played v:tes for a good while and a Petrodon Purge deck will bring me back to unlife... NC for Hungary hunfragment.blogspot.com

Baltimore Purge is even more mean if you Mindraped a minion before. Diablerize with the stolen minion and burn him in the Blood Hunt. Evil. So I definitely would use a minion with DOM and some means to untap. Graverobbing fits in such a deck too (as mentioned above). That kicks some vamps off the above list. Baron of Frankfurt

Venere Carboni Has almost no features you want for a Purge deck. But, he makes Purge a one card combo. Traveller Card Game

I had some success with lasombra black hand purge deck with Appius Claudius Corvus being the main guy obviously. While he himself can't multiact (except with Mylan), he can help his buddies Saul Meira and Ermenegildo to multiact with tattoo signal and seraph's seconds, he is obviously lasombra and has inherent +1 stealth which is sweet for the deck. Also between Saul's special and Watchtower Four Ride Forth he should always be untapped when its not your turn for deflections and obediences. Could easily add a cog for it too to do two purges, I made that deck before KoT though so there was no cog yet then. Black Hand also gives you drop point network which is nice help when you need specific cards depending on situation, like fetching that one camarilla vitae slave in the deck if someone has 11 cap out that you need to purge, or fetching a purge or graverobbing if you aren't drawing enough or whatever else you might want. Ousting comes mainly from bleeding with all the guys you have graverobbed over the game.

Surprised that nobody has suggested Muaziz? Thought that was a no-brainer. Put a Rutors and Helicopter on her, she pops out of the Chantry and eats three vamps in one turn with no risk of blood hunt. Only good Purge deck I've seen was based mainly around her.

She's a bit young, though. Suaku Inceptor Asian Continental Championship 興っ www.youtube.com/SuakuOz

It seems like big Toreadors with Toreador Grand Ball would be good for this.

I have a Purge/Siphon-twister deck based on Lucretia, Spider-Killer and Lasombra nerds. The deck flows really well and consistently sets up the combo but, as it turns out, sending vampires to torpor doesn't win games.
