New Final Nights !Malk-related cards:
1. Deny. The new dementation card gives a Press at inferior and +1
Stealth at superior. A nice card similar to Swallowed by the Night, if
not quite as useful.
2. Theron. !Malk. 8 capacity. AUS DEM OBF for obt. Can put a
derangement counter on any vampire as a D action. If the number of
derangement counters equals or exceeds the vampire's capacity, that
vampire is considered to be !Malk. A nice vamp, perfect for the "One
of Us" deck using Derange and Sacrifice, though it will take a long
time to convert a vamp.
3. Anatole, Prophet of Gehenna. Malk. 8 capacity. AUS DEM OBF for dom.
If Anatole is ready during your master phase, you may look at the top
5 cards of your library and then shuffle the top five cards of your
library. +1 intercept. Another great vamp, whether you're Malk or
!Malk. His special ability is so-so, but you can't beat +1 intercept.
.. uh except with +2 stealth . . .

"Mountains of Madness Deck"
The idea with this one is to use aus, dem, obf and for for a gun deck.
Put Blessing of Chaos on your vamps and it's hard to end combat or
increase bleeds. Oh, we play five card limit (unfortunately).

This deck has some potential, but the vamps are probably too big. I
know it could use some remodeling. Let me know if you have comments.
In the game I just played the Blessing of Chaos looked useful as my
prey had chimerstry and my predator had dementation. In the end I
didn't have enough intercept and wakes (even with Anatole out). Also
my weapon got stolen from Constantin and I constantly had to be ready
to protect my stuff against him.

Random quotes from a random game
Everytime another Aabt Kindred comes out, all yell: "Hey Aaabottt!!!"
Stealing a Baleful Doll: "I want my dolly!"
"Your Aabt Kindred is now Totally Insane."
"Your Bane Mummy is now Haunted." What exactly haunts a mummy?
"With the 2 Horrid Realities and this Femur of Toomler ("Ash Stick") I
do 6 aggravated with each strike."
"For an Aabt Kindred to use a combat shotgun does he wrap his body
around it or use his tongue to pull the trigger?"
"Aabt Kindred: hand strike! Uh . . ."
Okay, that's all. Hopefully I'll write one of these again soon.
