Upcomming Event: Constructed at Cantina, Budapest

Hi folks!

The next tournament will be in Budapest on the 5th of February. I will give my best to attend it this time. Unfortunately I banned all my v:tes cards into a big box and I am way too lazy to build a new deck now. So if no wonder happens I'll take my only deck that is ready to play (Dmitra Alastor, a deck I will take with me to the grave). I made a promise once, that I will play a Mata Hari deck that was designed from various players on the newsgroup, well I have to delay that. Most of the cards listed in those decks I don't have in my collection yet, so I need time to collect them. However I have some new ideas, like an Abombwe Hardestdt deck, or a Basilia wall deck. I am curious who will win this fight: laziness or love for v:tes...

Louhi deck played again

Hi folks!

Finally I played v:tes again with my stealth vote deck featuring both Louhi and Maris Streck. The predator lockdown worked well and could play without fearing any real pressure. I managed to make a game win with 3 vp's on a 4 player table, but just voting with big caps seems not sufficient enogh. I need to figure out  how to put a little more ousting power into the deck. Since pool is never a problem I am really considering to give the enchant bunny a try. Oh, and it is still not funny to play without combat...

cause all I'll do is to bleed my dummy

and though ousting is very funny,

I'd rather recruit a mummy!"

Soon to be back from torpor

Hi folks!

I'll have my last exam next Wednesday. Hopefully everything goes well and I will have time and energy left again to run this blog and play many games of v:tes.

Yesterday I already played two rounds with my new deck, a Louhi based obfuscate vote deck featuring Maris Streck, Satvros and Marie Faucigney. I achieved an awesome 0 vp's. Oh guys! I missed the ability to rush and torporize so much!
