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!

Challenge: Shattering Crescendo

Hi folks!

This month challenge will be to build a deck using Shattering Crescendo. The rules and terms are the same as the last time. I hope I will see many nice decks, so I will have a hard time choosing the winner! Enjoy building and playing the deck.

Don't forget to e-mail me the deck list: major.martin.tibor@gmail.com

Challenge Winner: April

Hi folks!

For those of you who can't remember: I've asked you guys to build a deck around Elimelech the Twice-Damned. Click here for to read the original post. Since nobody has won a final or reported that he or she reached the final with it, I have chosen the winner from the decks sent to me by e-mail.

So the winner of the first Challenge on HUN FRAGMENT is Michael Bartsch with his Elimelech Black Hand Wall deck. I really like the multi-action part in it, as well as the usage of Obedience, one of my favourite cards in v:tes. Congratulations Michael! The challenge for May will be posted tomorrow.

Challenge: Elimelech the Twice-Damned

Hi folks!

Once a month I will post a challenge for you guys. The task is to build a deck around a given vampire, library card or strategy. The winner of the challenge will be given credit on this blog and may enjoy his "five minutes of fame" (phrase taken from extrala). To win the challenge you have to email your deck list to me: major.martin.tibor@gmail.com

Here are some points worth noticing:

1. In the first place, I will choose the winner from the TWDA.
2. If nobody wins a tournament, but reaches a final please report it to me.
3. If nobody reaches the finals I will choose the deck I personally like most.

I hope many of you guys will accept the challenge!



This month challenge:

Build a deck around Elimelech the Twice-Damned. At least 4 copies of him must be in the crypt and it has to be obvious that you actually make use of him.

Have fun!
