[deck] Weenie aus anarchs

[Guest]

Archived from groups: rec.games.trading-cards.jyhad (More info?)

Well, I wanted to take a shot at the weenie aus decktype. Here's what I
came up with. It's cheesy, I know, and dies to dedicated combat.
Improvements, comments and the pointing out of obvious flaws are welcome.
BTW, I know it's kind of Master-heavy, but I believe that the 2 Dreams of
the Sphinx and the PB:LA can overcome that problem.

new version: removed some masters and the RttF, added Life in the City.
Still not sure about the 2 events, play testing will probably tell if
they're worth their respective slots.

So...how does it win? I see the theory on how it gets ONE victory
point, but how does it get through its second prey? Those five Eagle
Sights are not going to let you stop the table from going Anarch. And
of course, that's assuming you were lucky enough to get all four
Revolts out quickly, which seems grossly unlikely, considering how much
your hand is going to jam with intercept.

Basically, I see three possible scenarios with this. One: your prey
needs to take a lot of undirected actions, and you stop them from doing
anything, slowly whittling them away for a VP. Yay! Now your new prey
is extremely powerful from having no pressure, and will probably take
the rest of the table. Two: Your prey needs to take a lot of
undirected actions, which you block, and start losing minions right and
left. You decide to wall up against your predator, who also starts
taking out minions right and left, because you have so little combat
protection. It doesn't actually take dedicated combat to hurt you,
just larger vamps who act every turn. (NSA Trio does not seem
worthwhile - your combat is just not that good.) Three, your prey
takes only directed actions. You offer little pressure to that kind of
deck, except for weenie swarming. A reasonable amount of bloat renders
you irrelevant.

So yeah, I'm definitely unclear on how this deck can be effective in
90% of the table situations you will experience.

This combat seems a bit light to me. Perhaps you would consider some
additional Dodges.

> 1x Kingston Penitentiary, Ontario

I would use Club Zombie instead.

You might also consider several Effective Managements.

If you have one, Erciyes Fragments might be good in this deck.

Maybe you don't want to go this route, but you might consider adding
Parthenon, Anthelios, a few more Anarch Revolts, Brothers Grimm,
Fortschritt Library, etc. All the trifles and master cards make me
think of Anthelios.

I would increase the number of Eagle's Sights, and decrease Delaying
Tactics, Spirit's Touch, and other intercept as necessary. You might
consider replacing some of the Forced Awakenings with WweF because
sometimes you're going to want to wake and bounce.

It wins by lots of bleeds for one and blocking all pool gaining actions +
the Anarch Revolts who are actually just an add-on. Weenie swarm, because
you can invest a lot of pool on small minions without being in danger of
getting ousted.

this decks aims for 3 victory points, no more. first prey, last on the
table.. Anarch Revolt is basically there to prevent time outs.

rest of the table doesn't matter: so long as my first prey doesn't get an
anarch there is no problem. Besides, this deck cannot jam on intercept.
there is nothing in there but intercept, so how can it possibly jam?

no, my prey may go forward, no problem. it's the ousting action that i want
to block. This way, there might (not very probable, but it can happen) be a
chance of having a second oust too.

an intercept deck doesn't need to block everything that happens, just block
the right things. i.e. pool gain actions, War Ghouls, equip actions, etc...
As I said before: I don't mind my prey going forward.

and about the NSA Trio. First of all, I have no s:CE, so it doesn't really
hurt me. Secondly, it stops those nasty 'combat end and action continues'
and especially the "CE and untap" cards.

>Three, your prey

weenie swarm + 1 AR does 5-6 damage each turn in the mid - to end game.
which deck can take that without doing pool gaining actions, most of wich
are undirected. (except for a couple of bleed actions)

I'm tempted to add smiling jack instead of the ARs, maybe that's better. not
really sure, though, it has the habit of turning the table against you too
early. And the synergy of SJ with Dr. Fletcher is better. mmmm. *ponders*

IMO, the only problem is combat. And the time-outs, maybe.

but that would make the whole Anarch strategy redundant. who are you, what
did you do with the real Eric Simon? But it would free up 10 slots in the
deck.

mmm. true.

I've been looking around for Cards that make people act. Smiling Jack is of
course the big one.
Others:
Society of Leopold, but removing it is a D action
The Rack, but the benefit for me is not that huge.
Aggressive Tactics, but that costs 2 pool
Pentex Subversion, also 2 pool and unique.
Brainwash, meh, needs to come early and in large quantities to pay off.
Erciyes Fragment
Fragment of the book of Nod
High Museum of Art, Atlanta
different Powerbases: chicago, Mexico City, Montreal, New York, Washington.

did I miss anything?

and on the other hand: cards that keep people from acting:
Milicent Smith
Dr Marisa Fletcher.

I'll think about what you said. And make changes accordingly thx

Heh. Well, though it surprises some, I'm often the first to really
scrutinize whether a deck NEEDS to be Anarchs. Actually, I think the
best way to spruce up your combat would be to make all those walking
sticks into .44s and then replace most of the other combat cards with
Groundfighting. Beyond that, it's the locations you're really using
the Anarch tech for, and I think that's probably worth it.

Oh, and there's one more card that's particularly relevant to your deck
that makes people take actions: Revelations at superior. It makes your
prey take actions and also tells you when it's safe for you to take
actions. Definitely a win-win.

The base idea for the combat package was prevent 1 with Precognition hit for
2 with the stick and play Pulled Fangs, which I can defend, but i completely
forgot to include in the deck. .44 had crossed my mind, but a 2 pool gun on
a 3 cap minion does away with disposability of my weenies (and also the need
for a lot of concealed weapons in the deck) Completely forgot about
groundfighting, good idea.

Great suggestion, thanks.
