Deck Name : Compel the Werewolves of London
Author : Christoph Boget
Description :
Necromancers become Anarchs to Gear Up and Cry Wolf.  Cry Wolf (and Ossian, 
if he ever makes an appearance) set a Trap for some unsuspecting minion. 
Combat should continue until Cry Wolf eventually dies, only for him to be 
Compelled back into service to rush again.  After he burns on your next 
untap phase, you can try to Compel again.  Wash, Rinse, Repeat.

Sudario Refraction can be used to get more Gear Up and/or Compel and Gear Up 
can be used to get back Sudario Refraction.  There is a lot of recursion 
potential here.  If I owned another Sudario, there would be even more.

Comments: Quira is in there because she has +1 bleed, OBF and AUS.
She can get a Pulse and wreak havoc on your prey using SoS. If you slap
the Dementation skill card on her, she can use Kindred Spirits to start gaining
you some pool. Jake Washington is a great early game throw away as a
blocker or late in the game to keep one of your vamps from hunting. Visit
from the Capuchin and Dreams are a great way to cycle your hand. When
you have both out, you can get a hand size of 13, giving you a much wider
range of options for your turn. Every time I've ever used Visit in any deck
I've included it in, I've never had a problem with burning it the turn it was
played.

This deck cycles surprisingly well and is fairly
fast in getting up to speed.  There may seem
like there are way too many masters here, but
I almost never jam on them.  The Obfuscate
skill cards flow like water onto the Embraced
so they are as if they aren't even in the deck.
And the Secret Library of Alexandria helps out 
alot in cycling cards out.
The idea is to get vamps out to Embrace
then bleed w/Night Moves.  I generally have
about 9 - 17 vamps out at a time.  That is a
really good time to Tribute for tons of pool.
This deck would do poorly against a dedicated
intercept or a dedicated rush deck.  Although,
depending on the rush deck, I could probably
get enough vamps out to where I can try to
bleed them out w/Night Moves if they are my
pred/prey.  It would also suck to be me if
someone decided to call a Domain Challenge.

This deck is good against pretty much everything but a
dedicated combat deck.  My philosophy is why water
down your deck trying to survive against one when it
just isn't going to work.  Unless you are playing one
yourself, just go with either survival against just about
everything else (Dodge, S:CE, etc) or hurt them with
your initial strike.  This is what the Coma's do.
The Blessing of Chaos is used to keep the bleeders
from being able to pump their bleed.  If they do, then
I have an Archon just aching to Investigate them.  It
keeps the heavy bleeders honest.  It's also is used
to keep that nasty Majesty at bay.  It really ruins a guys
day when they really want to Majesty, but can't, and
you just lay down a Coma.  I try to follow up a situation
like this with a Sacrificial Lamb.
I use the Kindred Spirits for blood gain.  There is
enough stealth here to get actions through, but not
so much so that I'm jamming on it.  Plus, the Barrens
help a little bit.  I opted for the Confusion bleed mod
as it gives stealth at superior.  Every little bit helps.
I'm able to either Misdirect bleeds or block non-stealthed
PAs, so my pool is somewhat safe.  Using the added
pool gained from the KS, I can use the Life Boons
effectively.  They have won me at almost half the games.
And no, I did not use them to oust myself to save my predator. :p
Whelp, that's pretty much it.
Comments?  Flames?

Giovanni - Malign the Dead

Idea for a Giovanni Deck.
Pretty much a bleed and bake deck.  If the bleeds are blocked, the idea
is to burn them and Steal their Soul or torpor them to Graverob.
Ambrosius with Talbot's is really good at putting most vamps into torpor.

Chaos out of Order

The Ventrue like things nice and ordered.  
Well, we're here to create a little havoc.
This is a Ventrue Antritribu deck that I made based upon the 
idea that what they want, they get.  The bleeds are made
unblockable or very difficult to block.  And if it is blocked, then
there are serious repercussions in the way of the opposing 
vampire going to torpor or when/if the acting vampire goes too,
then a loss of 3 pool is the punishment.  They also get their
way in a vote in that they can cancel or change the votes of other
Kindred.

"Waiter, there is a Vampire in my soup..."

Ok, basically what this deck is desigend to do is have other Vampires for dinner.
When in combat, the vampire uses the Bonespur for aggro damage followed by Amaranth 
to eat 'em up.  If/when there is a Bloodhunt called, the Gangrel Conspiracy is
used to show that the Gangrel AntiTribes answer to no one.  The Parthenon is in 
there so I can have a Master action even after using the MOoT (the Conspiracy).  
If any of the regular Gangrels put the opponent into torpor, then the G:AT
will just come in behind them and clean up the mess.  If blocked, then
it'll be the blocking vamp that get's eaten.
Pretty straightforward and *very* evil.

Any suggestions on how to improve the deck will be welcome.

"...And stay down!!"

There are some cards in here where all that I have is in this deck.
All of my Blood Sweats, Kali's Fang, Khabar: The Honor and Contracts
are in here so that is why there aren't as many as there should/could
be.  As soon as I get more, I'm going to replace all of the Coagulate
Blood combat cards with Blood Sweat.

Basically what this deck is supposed to do is Torpor the opposing
minion and Diablerize with Muaziz.  They cannot be rescued if they
aren't there anymore <bg>.  It's been pretty successful.
Watching the look on their face when their IC Member gets Diablerized
at base +2 stealth without them being able to do anything about it is
classic. ;)
