Description: Won DC qualifier September 22, 2012. Never saw the Ventrue at all in four rounds but otherwise had good crypt draws. Villein always clumped but otherwise enabled the deck. I Pacted Orlando for Presence a couple of times and voter capped with him for about 15 once. I wouldn't consider it an integral component though. Could have played a couple Entrancements, but they wouldn't have helped. Anything missing? I don't think so. This all worked really well. Could have had more stealth but I didn't ever face heavy intercept as my prey. I had a wall in the predator position round 2 and got blocked a bit, but I basically just took the table by bleeding forward. Maybe too much. Bloat and payload is what this deck is about. Torrent was never played. Probably not a good choice for this deck as there isn't enough CEL. Didn't have a lot of use for these. I love Scalpel Tongue but didn't need it often. REG is a great card for Toreador, but unplayable by Orlando.
