My big concern: What exactly do you do to thwart your predator?

I can see how the deck would be pretty good at bruise+bleed, and
there's some very nice blood-denial in it; but with no intercept
(unless you get one of your two [cel] minions in play) 3 bounce cards,
and no rush, even a casual-stealth predator should roll right over you.
Especially since your pool-gain is limited to 4 Blood Dolls.

For instance, you're basically dead meat to any sort of vote-deck
predator because the deck can't block the votes, can't outvote
him/cancel the votes, and probably can't regain pool fast enough (aside
from hoping to oust) to stop it.

You've got a stack of Fortitude minions - why not include a few Friend
of Mines for bleed reduction? I'd also think about sticking a couple of
permanent intercept cards in the deck - either swap out something like
Vampiric Disease for an Anarch Free Press, or drop a couple of Moles
for Sport Bikes, maybe.

Of course, my points are somewhat moot if you think you can swarm
forward fast enough to pull off 'almost no defense', but I'm not sure
that a deck hoping to get blocked to disarm/pull fangs/etc is quite
that speedy.

I think his best plan is that his predator and prey get into an endless
debate about something insignificant, and during the ensuing melee, he
sneaks through a win...

(i.e. I think this deck is mostly comedy material)

Oh, you're a riot, man. But hey, get down with your Uriah self.

I guess that makes one in the "coming out of the woodwork" column.

You only influence out 3 minions tops. That is at most 16 pool or at
minimum 5 pool.

Actually with 1x Kingston Penitentiary, Ontario, Strained Vitae Supply,
Vampiric Disease, and Pulled Fangs you will have players paying you pool to
use the Kingston Penitentiary instead of hunting.

We all have our weaknesses. I honestly wouldn't transfer out more than 2-3
minions with this deck without knowing what my predator was doing.

Vampiric Disease is a pool gainer.

You only have to do it once and no one blocks you anymore.

That's how I get all my wins. Well, that and a well timed "Look, it's
Elvis!"

No no, I know Norm, and he's deadly serious.

Ya know Norm, this deck deserves a haiku.

You just don't care anymore.

Only $242 from RDU to LFT roundtrip.

Free Whiskey, all you want.

....and we're still homies if you don't make it.

I think the point was to make a deck with Uriah, as you probably know.
And anyway, just because I'll argue at length that something is strong
doesn't mean I'm particularly interested in playing with it. I mean, if
he wanted to make it a "Cherryholmes deck", he blew it when he included
4 Blood Dolls.

In this case, everyone is of course aware that a 10-vamps crypt is illegal ?

Or is it on purpose to add 1 Cherryholmes and 1 Bajika ? B)

well all know a deck MUST have 4 or more blood dools to be competative,
remember?

there's no debating that. it's that Strong Blood Doll principle.

(the Weak Blood Doll principle can be found through searching the
group, i am sure, if you're keen.... )

salem.

I thought everyone read every thread very closely all the time, even the
endless, pointless arguments between me and Dave--otherwise, what is the
point of the in jokes...
