A deck designed by The Lasombra




Deck Name : Uriel makes friends in the Harbingers of Skulls
Author : Lasombra
Description :
Uriel's special ability (opponent plays with an open hand during combat) 
is very conducive to understanding your opponents and how to defeat them.  
Mordechai Ben-Nun and Neighbor John were born to play together.   

   1.  How do you intend to oust?

Ousting my opponents via Smiling Jack and 5 minions bleeding for one....

   2. How do you intend to keep from being ousted?

Auspex and Animalism intercept combat.

   3. What do you want your ready region to look like (ie, how many guys 
	are you planning on getting out)?

Mordechai and Uriel first, then the others as pool allows.  

   4. What do you want your average turn to look like?

Uriel should bleed and be unblocked, as his special is one that causes 
players to freeze up.  Mordechai or one of the others will tool up with 
permanent intercept or permanent combat equipment.  Everything else should 
take place on other's turns, blocking and toporizing whenever possible.

   5. What's your metagame like? How do your opponents play?

My metagame is quite varied.  My opponents are as likely to be playing 
Masika/Francois/Anneke or other Jyhad vampires as they are to be playing 
Lambach/Eye of Hazimel/Legion.

   6. What problems have you observed with the deck in play?

Haven't played it yet.  I've had trouble recently with having plenty 
of intercept against directed actions and being unable to block votes 
at 2 stealth.  The permanent intercept in this deck will help to prevent 
that from re-occuring.
