Deck Building Challenge: Rares Only!!!

Hi folks!



So I've been invited to a couple of friends for a game of v:tes. The thing is, there is a twist. Players are allowed to play with library cards only that have been a rare in any edition before. So no vessels, blood dolls, minion taps, etc. Rare only deck. Wow. It is funny how many things become unavailable. 

So I am pretty sure I will either play a Ayo Igoli deck with Golconda's to have a pool gaining mechanism or I will play 8-11 cap vampires with superior Dementation for Deny (rare stealth card!) and of course Golconda again.

What would be your idea? Any comments and suggestions are highly appreciated!

  1. Piper war ghoul? All the essential cards are rare: the ghouls themselves, Jake, Piper, Unmasking, Dragonbound,... Maybe with a Gehenna module for Veil of Darkness and The Rising.
