I trust this is the optimal crypt for this deck.

At first I was going to say that you didn't have enough masters that make
your guys into anarchs, but you really don't need to have anarchs right
away.

I would definately want a hunting ground or two as your minions will see a
lot of action. Giant's Blood (Dan can fetch it!) and Jake Washington
would also be useful.

I don't really see the need for Madness Network in this deck. It mostly
just gives the table another (D) action against you. I might keep one and
remove the other two for an Asylum Hunting Ground and Smiling Jack. Jack
gives you offense that (ironically?) doesn't care who controls anarchs.
Since your offense is burnable masters, you might want to try to fit an
Anthelios in.

I'd rather run Blood Dolls than Tributes. This deck can defend quite well
and shouldn't need a shock of pool to keep going. Slow and steady gain or
the ability to push blood is what will keep you going. I might drop an
Anarch Revolt to have a 4th Blood Doll.

> Action (9 cards)

I'd dump the Skullduggeries and put in two Nose of the Hound. Bleeding
for 1 at a stealth isn't great offense. The other two slots can be more
equipment.

> Action Modifier (1 cards)

Ha. I wonder how often you'll discard it.

> Reaction (25 cards)

No Eagle's Sight? Doesn't look like enough wakes.

Could be too many combat cards. I think you probably want more reactions.

> Ally (1 cards)
> 1 Muddled Vampire Hunter
>

Starshells aren't so great. I'd rather have .44s or something. You could
play a few Dragon's Breath Rounds if you want to make sure you can
Rotschreck. More Sniper Rifles would be good if you have them.

You should also probably work in a Bowl of Convergence or a Mr. Winthrop
or something.

> Combo (4 cards)

You have no OBF, so these could easily be more Forced or four different
stealth cards. You aren't going to get any maneuvers here.

Enjoy!

Use Deranges -- that way you can un-Anarch any anarch.

Howdy Matt,

I was just admiring your Hordes deck design yesterday, and thought,
what the heck, why not post another one of mine? I might even get to
try playing it some day...

It's pretty tight, yes.

I tend towards this side of the thinking, and away from Peter's
assertion that I need more ways to go anarch. I don't really have a
lot of tech that is anarch reliant, at least until I start dropping
Revolts.

I was kind of hoping that most of that action would be at long range,
and therefore not terribly painful. Still, Giant's Blood never hurts,
and Jake is good, if only my only copies of each weren't in other
decks. I wouldn't add Hunting Grounds, though, as I should have enough
minions and wakes to hunt, if needed.

My pool gain is Victoria. That and I'm hoping to threaten people with
OOT agg (Rotschreck) during my _actions_ not (just) during my
reactions.

Hmmm... Hadn't thought of Anthelios. It might be worth a look. I
don't really have the room for Jack without removing other masters, and
I'm not sure I want to try that level of table management anyway.

With minions this small, I'm always hesitant to rely on Blood Dolls.
OTOH, with the small amount of stealth I'm packing, I probably
shouldn't be counting on hunting so much to replace lost blood... And
again, most of my pool gain is supposed to be Victoria - the Tributes
are mostly just emergency backups.

It's the optional maneuver that puts Skullbuggery in. Victoria,
equipped with a Starshell, bleeds with Skullbuggery at the end of my
predator's minion phase - block? If yes, I've got a maneuver to long.
If no, I'm going to gain 3 pool.

You laugh, but... OK, you laugh.

Pre-rewritten Anarch Revolt versions of this deck used a lot of Eagle's
Sight. I don't think I need it anymore. And with the MadNet out, I'm
not going to tap anyone (except the non-Malkavians) during my turn, so
hopefully it's enough. Peter wondered about this too, though, so maybe
it's not.

Unfortunately, it's hard to come by maneuvers, and I always want long.
The cards beyond the 12 maneuvers are pretty optional, though.

I don't have more Sniper Rifles, but yes, practically every gun would
rather be a Sniper Rifle. I'm not sure how it happened, but the
Starshells are actually the core of this deck design. I like how they
can also function as intercept, and make Skullduggery seem useable.
Very silly, yes, but if they go then I should start over from scratch.

Yes, those would be good adds, perhaps with some Jack of Both Sides as
well. The previous version of the deck was more weenified, to the
point where these toys would just paint big targets on the minions that
equipped them, but I think this version of the deck could support them.
IR Goggles might also be justified.

I go back and forth between +1 stealth action mods and Night Moves.
You are right that they should probably be diversified for stackability
- I think I used to have some OBF in here or something.

Thanks,
