Hi folks!
We held our ECQ last Saturday in Budapest. Altogether 55 players attended the tournament, approximately 11 came from Slovakia. It was really nice to see so many players again. Since I already qualified at the ECQ in Burton-on-Trent I've decided to play a fun deck and just try to have fun. I've played my Synesios + Malkavian vote deck.
1st table:
Weenie Dem -> Me -> Carna + Nephandus -> Masika -> Nana Buruku
This could have been the perfect table! Carna isn't really good at preventing 2 aggravated damage before range. No votes on the table! My only problem was that the weenie dementation deck had a very good start. As he told me later, he played with 3 touch of clarity, two of them he drew from his first 20 cards, so he could cancel both of my 2 deflections I tried to play. 0vp
2nd table:
Setite vote -> Nosferatu princes -> Me -> Lazverenus -> Ravnos wall
Terrible! The first master card my prey played was a demonstration. Together with Lazverenus and Sheldon + Vermeulen from my predators side this was close to game over for me. Before the tournament I tried to get some Malkavian Rider Clause, but I couldn't find a single one. With the Rider clause I could have had a reasonable chance to win, but without them I couldn't call a single successful referendum. It took me a lot of agitation and table talk to score 1 Vp.
3rd table:
Tzimicse Wall -> Toreador AAA -> Lutz -> Saulot -> Me
Saulot didn't show up. Peter was playing 5 copies of Saulot, but the old man decided to skip the 3rd round. Lutz had a very good start and he could inflict enough damage on Peter, to make sure that he will not have enough pool to find Saulot and influence him out later on. Alexandra got blocked, Rotschrecked and ended up finding the Golconda. Lutz + Dmitra = vote lock. Another time I missed the Rider Clause. The table soon started to play against Lutz. Normally you would think that in v:tes 3 vs. 1 is an easy task, but not this time. Lutz humiliated the three of us.
I didn't stay to watch the final, but I've heard that Adam Horvath won it with his Nana Buruku deck. Congrats!
If I will play this Synesios deck ever again, I will make sure that I get at least 3-5 copies of Malkavian Rider Clause in it...
