Millennium Cultist: Atlanta Atlanta, Georgia November 5th, 2006 15 players 2 R + F Fifteen players gathered at Casa Tatu to pursue the Cultist and make his minions their own. Players from Kennesaw, Nashville, and Columbia joined the Atlanta regulars. After 2 rounds and a final, these were the finalists: Shaun Witt - Followers of Set - stealth bleed Aaron Steele - Nosferatu - princely vote John Newquist - Ventrue (g2-3) - Honor the Elders vote Jeffrey Thompson - Lasombra - Taking control of your animal nature Mike Perlman - Ventrue (g1-2) - Law Firm says "Get off my lawn!" Lasombra seeing only 1 Govern the Unaligned in the first 40+ cards helped Mike's pool gain and his explosive bleeds with Lazverinus and his other true Ventrue friends caused him to gain the first two victory points. John was eventually able to pull a Reins of Power at 4 stealth with his 11 votes on the table to oust Lasombra. This left the two Ventrue decks at each others throats with 5 minutes to go. Mike contested Queen Anne who had just come into play for John. Mike's pool lead might have eventually gotten him another victory point, but the time ran out and the Ventrue walked out with control of the Reverend Adams. There looks to be much greater replay value in the Cultists deck than existed with Nergal, and everyone reported having a great time. I had two game wins going into the finals, with the deck below, that I am posting by the request of the finalists. Deck Name : Taking control of your animal nature Author : Lasombra Description : With the introduction of 3rd Edition, there are now five different Lasombra with Animalism at some level. This makes for a perfect Storyline possibility. Antón is the star of the deck, making everything happen better, especially in combat with his optional maneuver. I wished the Grooming the Protege's were Minion Taps every time I drew them.
