Deck Idea: Shattering Marionettes

Hi folks!

Here is a funny deck idea I tested during this weekend. It is by no means a tournament deck, but a very fun to play casual deck for the chill-out games between the tournament tests. Actually that doesn't mean that the deck is not working. I almost won one of the games, but I just couldn't stealth through that hardcore Omaya wall deck. I almost got it though and added a Daring the Dawn and a Virtuosa after that game to the deck. The basic idea of it is to punish Villein addicted decks either by draining of the blood before a Villein can be played or by torporizing the vampires who got their Villein already. Either way I punish :)

Robert Carter is a really strong ally in any Heidelberg based decks since he is actually a permanent +4 bleed. If you want to play a funny deck, give this one a try!

  1. On which vampire do you put the Spontaneous Power and which discipline do give him/her.

  2. That always depends on the game situation. Either Matthew gets a Mel or Scout gets a Obeah so I can cycle spirit marionette for bleed. It also might happen that Matthew gets obf for stealth.

  3. very nice! Funny that it relies on Villein while punishing others. But still a good combo. You could add 5 Penitent Resilience for some block fails at OBE and still keep it under 80 cards. But I'm a block fail whore
