[DECK] Ravnosity

Perhaps it's bad form to use this deck name without a Mata crypt... but I'll
press on and risk it.

An earlier version of this deck did o.k., but only because the Fame was on
March Halcyon, and the table forgot about her special. That problem solved
by another Fame.

Comments?

Cool idea!

I'd consider another Path. Also, if you're going with the Minion Tap
option for Ezmerelda, perhaps you should also consider Information
Highway? I think you could include 5 of her.

I'd tend to include a few less minion taps, and perhaps consider Ravnos
Carnival, Svadharma, and/or Week of Nightmares.

Perhaps a Restoration or two?

Seems like more than enough. Perhaps Banishment?

> Reaction (11 cards)

Perhaps consider Deflection and Redirection for Ez!

Seems like expensive combat. Seems like you could include a few
presence cards.

Seems like it could be a fun deck to play!

I've been playing around with a deck like this, but
I use Mob Rule to get extra votes.

A friend of mine has a deck like this. It is really quite good.
But he uses Spider-killer as his main guy (mmm built in stealth), and
has a couple of small ravnos bleeders and Vincent Day.
He gets the edge then plays a Shared Nightmare (declares potential
blockers or titled vamps to not be able to block or cast votes), and
has a fair few votes (1 for edge, 1 more for edge with Rant, 1 more for
Edge with Vincent Day).
Then it's Rant, Edged Illusion, etc...
ideally (for him at least) he has out Fame, Dragonbound, and Tension in
the Ranks (you might want to include this). When the combos come out,
it's quite scary.

Thanks... it came to me as soon as I opened a KMW pack with Edged Illusion.

I only own 2 of her, but could borrow the other 2 if needed, so I figured
I'd keep it to a number that I could actually field.

I thought just 2 Path, since there's also the lovely Fatuus Mastery.

I thought about WoN but decided against, since it's not a particularly
swarmy kind of deck.

Always a good idea if there's room.

Considered but rejected... I agree with Matt Morgan on this. He & I were
comparing notes on Fortitudinous Giovanni decks, and he opined that you
either want a lot of Freaks, or none. My experience with the card is the
same; it works best in high multiples or not at all.

I cut it down a bit. Trying 7 now.

But Dominate is SO SLEAZY!

Makes sense, may run a couple Majesty.

Hope so... thanks for the comments.
