Vampire: The Eternal Struggle

Atom Weaver's Deck Bashing Challenge

The VTES Precon Decklist Bashing Challenge 03.01.07

  Using only the cards contained in two precon starters 
of your choice, generate a decklist you think would be 
competitive in a mid-size constructed tournament (not a 
qualifier or championship, but assume strong local players, 
and, say 20 participants).  Duplicating a starter is 
acceptable.  Choosing more recent precons (3rd Ed, LOB, 
KMW) is preferred (but not mandatory).  Alternatively, 
you could choose to substitute the content of VTES Player's 
Kit for one precon.  If you've got the stones to play it 
For Real in a sanctioned event, so much the better, let 
us know how you do.

  The goals here are 

1) to challenge your m@dd deckbuilding skills!!

2) to generate some ideas for competitive decks that 
new/early players might look to for inspiration and 
direction for their own collecting efforts.

  Also, I think these decklists could go a long way as 
evidence against the (false) perceived need for big 
investment in cards in order to build competitive decks.
