Atom Weaver's Deck Bashing Challenge
A deck that answers the challenge
I couldn't let this thread slip away into oblivion without my humble
contribution, which, notably, is not a mashup of two !Ventrue
precons. (That is left as an exercise for the reader. It's not hard,
but the result isn't a lot better than one !Ventrue precon, and that's
not real great. A little more Seduction & Govern, and maybe a few
Freak Drive, though, and it would be pretty close to a standard
kitchen sink bleeder.)
Here you go:

Description:
Yeah, sure, you could just take two CE Ventrue precons and come up
with something that would look more polished, but I think this should
be more interesting. Well, if you consider stealth bleed/vote
interesting, that is...
I took the FoS crypt, removed the non-obf Followers (+ Dedefra), and
added the obf Ventrue (+ Ranjan). Suhailah is a hard call, as she has
no pre; I left in the one Presence master. It's a five discipline
deck, though the only Fortitude is a couple Freak Drive for the surge.
There's not a lot of Dominate or Serpentis use either, leaving it
pretty much OBF/PRE centered.
From there, I put in basically all the stealth, tap, and unblockability
cards. There are plenty of very good actions, both bleed and vote.
(I left out the PTO, but there are two Banishment!) There's a decent
amount of bloat (though obviously the Short-Terms would rather be other
masters), a decent amount of S:CE, and token bounce. The crypt is kinda
big, but it should be playable, I think.
Hope that helps,
Alex
