Made in Hungary: Trujah Bleed

Hi folks!

This column is about decks that were made in Hungary and achieved international attention. I am not claiming that we alone invented it, neither do I want other players to give us credit. It's simply about showing what our v:tes community came up with. 

This time I want to introduce a deck built by Peter Botos. He achieved several game wins with this deck before he won the Hungarian National Championship with it in 2010 and got chosen Deck of the Month on extrala. The basic idea of this deck is to slowly build up for a "Big Turn" when you try to oust your opponent using two permanent bleed equipment. This needs a good set-up. Like almost all new Trujah decks this one also focuses on the Domain of Evernight + Outside the Hourglass combination to avoid block attempts. It also uses 7 copies of Tangle Atropo's Hand which will drive everybody insane and also leads to responsible bleeding. 

Another strength of this deck is the powerhouse Vaticination. Maybe the strongest card from the set. It is very useful to discard nasty cards from your preys hand, like Archon Investigation or wake/bounce cards, but also makes adds survive ability to the deck since you can stop your predator from playing nasty cards like Parity Shift. 

Also many people didn't really know what the deck was about. If you influence on a Malkvian! or Gilbert Duane people will cry stealth-bleed. Lydia was not that threatening. She is now. All in all this is a very smart and technically challenging deck. Peter made it to the finals with it at ECQ Belgrade, too.
