Description: Bruise bleed based around V5 Brujah Barons, New Carthage and Anarch bleed cards. It carries light multi-action, a touch of stealth and just enough bounce that it doesn't have to look left immediately. The titles influence others' political actions, even if I'm not using them myself. In the final, I roasted my prey's opening (famous) Malgorzata even though she dropped a Blood of Acid in the first combat. It was ENTIRELY worth losing a 3-cap who had already done the Illegalism/unlock/Manifesto trick. I ate Mal a turn or two later, just to be sure she didn't make beads. The original build used more superior Presence minions but no Theo and some Enchant Kindred. I didn't like the pace at which it played and adjusted for more immediate offense. I finally broke down and added Theo right before Origins - he sheds red cards and I get a second +1 strength minion. Every one of those revisions made the deck better and this iteration feels extremely solid. -- I think there might be a 78 card version that's even more consistent. And no, you don't need Ashur Tablets.
