Description: It won a tournament, but can it win a game? Angelica's special means that Ascendances can be used for intercept as well as pool gain. She gets Eternal Vigilance and a .44 Magnum and blocks. Anson provides support, cycling masters faster and providing Angelica with blood from the Fifth Tradition. Fish for weenies, stealth bleed or bruise bleed for the VP. I felt perpetually short on bleed during the tournament, and after having written out the decklist, I see that I had fewer bleed cards than I thought. At minimum, one Shroud of Night should be switched for a Threats. One of the Ascendances probably should be changed to a Pentex Subversion for contesting or lunging, but Pentex is less prevalent in L.A. than in other places.
