Tournament Report: HNC Veresegyház

Hi foks!

Just a brief report on this tournament. I played a 60 card version of Baltimore Purge + Mind Rape based on advanced Marcus Vitel. Why him? Because he has awesome disciplines and he is a Lasombra so I only need him to be able to set off the bomb. 

Brief report is brief, so all I have to say for the 2nd and 3rd table is that I got ousted really fast. In the 2nd round it was a 4 player table and my cross table buddy, a Lutz deck, had the best draw ever and played flawlessly. He made his Gamw Win with 3 Vp's in like 20 minutes (if not faster) because he realized that all he has to do is to back oust the Anson Gun deck. I got a vp from this, yay, but there was never a doubt who will walk ever with the Game Win. In the third table I played like 4 minutes. Weenie Dementation crossy bled me (via bounce) for 7 and my own predator bled me for more.

So the interesting table was the first one.This was the seating:

Csaba Greguss (Aus/Obf Nosferatu stealth bleed, cool deck) - Péter Ádám (Ventrue! multi act) - CZ (Goratrix bleed) - Myself

I started with a good ol' Pentex Subversion on Goratrix. I felt save and tapped out. I did my nasty stuff. Bad luck no.1.: Pentex contest by Gora and a bleed for 7! Ouch! Well no big problem. I Graverobbed, Mind Raped, diablerized etc, but there were too many vamps on the table to deal with everything. Well I could steal a Gustav Mallenhous from Péter Ádám. Bad luck no.2.: he plays 2 Banishments in a 90 card deck and already drew one. He could pass the Banishment together with Csaba by 1 vote (Kyle did it). So I lost Gustav who returned to Péter Ádám. No big deal, repeat and Gustav's back to me. Bad luck no.3.: He drew his 2nd Banishment and could pass it by 1 vote again. Ouch. 

Too many things happened to remember everything, too much detail. Let it be enough that there was one more window when I could have ousted Csaba: I played a Coven to have that extra action for the oust, but it got Suddened. Bad luck no.4.

All in all, this was the table a could have and should have won. It was not only due to bad luck that I couldn't win it of course. In the first turn when I started to do the diablerie and Graverobbing thing I made mistakes. Too bad, cause I had a vp later on and 1GW 5 Vp's would have been enough for the final. I'll try to do it better next time.

I do not post the deck list because I want to play with it again and I don't want my fellow Hungarian players to see what is in the box...
