I'm thinking on a sick deck...
the original idea was from a spanish friend: Juan.

Basically:
Influence on Augustus or Sutekh...if possible
Put a skill on... and: Chain of command.

The "chained" vamp will bleed unblocable and burns... then it will be
resurrected with a "possession".

[14 cards, all 11 cap.]
------------------------------------------------------------

2x Arika
3x Augustus Giovanni
2x Ezmerelda
2x Gwendolyn
2x Stanislava
3x Sutekh, The Dark God

Library [87 cards]
------------------------------

Master [19]
3x Fortitude
6x Golconda: Inner Peace
3x Information Highway
1x Khobar Towers
3x Necromancy
1x Parthenon
2x Presence

Action [24]
9x Chain of Command
6x Legal Manipulations
9x Possession

Action Modifier [22]
6x Conditioning
10x Daring the Dawn
6x Freak Drive

Equipment [3]
1x Sargon Fragment, The
1x Seal of Veddartha
1x Soul Gem of Etrius

Political Action [5]
1x Ancient Influence
1x Political Stranglehold
3x Protect Thine Own

Reaction [14]
7x Redirection
7x Wake with Evening's Freshness

I've space for 3 cards... any suggestion?

The trick is to burn at the end of the action (2 aggr dmg) choosing the
order for resolving the cards... and you choose the daring the dawn
before the chain... (I hope it's possible... LSJ?).
You need also to play something to spend 1 blood from the vampire...
the bleed action or the conditioning... but I'm thinking too... it's
possible to freak drive (it modifies the action) before the daring the
dawn and/or chain effects????


Regards & deranges.

Sutekh has no Dominate and so cannot play Chain of Command.

Possession is a 0-stealth action. You have no stealth in this deck.

Good (or at least funny) idea. Augustus is maybe okay here because of his
ability. The problem is that both Augustus' ability and Possession are at
zero stealth. How will you not be blocked?

If you focus things more on Sutekh, then you can play Obfuscate stealth
and have a better hope of the Possession (as well as subsequent bleeds for
3) going through. Of course Sutekh lacks Dominate, so you'll either have
to play a pile of Dominate skills or graft some stealth discipline
(probably Obfuscate) to Augustus. In either case you're going to have to
play a skill card on your vamp to get older than the Inner Circle members.
Obfuscate on Augustus is probably the best way to go since his ability can
double for a lack of Possession in hand.

Creepshow Casino might be somewhat helpful here. A couple Minion Taps
wouldn't hurt (since you'll have to pay full price for somebody) and you
certainly want a Giant's Blood. I don't think you need six Golcondas. If
you sack all your fatties, you'll have a ton of pool, but no offense.
Info Highway should be Dreams, especially in a combo deck like this one.
I don't really see the need for Parthenon in this deck. If you're cycling
fast, then your deck is working and you should be winning anyway. If
you're in the early stages, you won't be playing that many minion cards
and one master per turn should be fine. In any case, you don't have
enough masters to take full advantage of Parthenon so unless you were just
including it to contest, I'd drop it.

I think you can do without Freaks. You do need some way to generate
stealth.

Drop PTO in favor of Code of Milan Suspended. Sorry, can't resist. :)

Perhaps some Obedience here? Depends on what you think you'll be up
against. Only a heavy bleeder should be able to put this deck down since
you only need to spend 11 to get it up and running and then will probably
gain that back with a Golconda at some point in the game.

I'm not sure that it's possible, the vampires should return to the bottom of
your crypt even if you play a daring the dawn
Chain of Command:
+1 stealth action
Put X younger vampires from your uncontrolled region in play with 1 blood
from the blood bank each (in addition to any blood they already have). You
cannot choose any unique vampires already in play. Those vampires must
bleed. When one of them bleeds successfully, or when all that can bleed
have, move them all to the bottom of your crypt.

As above, but move X+1 younger vampires

So do you prefer a deck without FD? Accepting some of your ideas the
differences can be:

(-18 library cards; -1vampire)

-Sutekh, The Dark God

-1 Daring the Dawn
-6 freak drive
-1 PTO
-3 Redirection
-1 WWEF

-1 Golconda
-1 Parthenon
-2 Presence
-1 Dominate
-1 Necromancy

(+21 cards)

+1Giant's blood
+4 obfuscate
+2 Minion Tap

+4 obedience
+10 forgotten labyrinth

Any other suggestion??? Ideas?

Chain of Command states that you cannot choose in play unique vampires,
so you cannot use a single-vampire crypt.
