Big Gangrel

My Gangrel IC deck has been a staple for a long time. My recent update was influenced by Martin Weinmayer's NAC deck. Your kill combo is Parity Shift + Govern the Unaligned + Conditioning. Several fun tricks in the deck. First game in the tournament, my predator was a power bleed deck. He Pentex Subversioned my first vampire and then hit me for multiple bleeds for 5. He got me down to 2 pool before I came back to take all the VPs and the Game Win. This deck survives way better than I expected with considerable pool gain. In the Finals, I got to choose my predator and prey which gave me an overwhelming advantage. The deck is a little too dependent on strike: combat ends and I will probably add a Secure Haven. Notes: Jake Washington - The Combo is with Vessel, but generic blood gain is good. Metro Underground - Fun with Enkil Cog but good after bleeding to setup bleed bounce. Pentex Subversion - Not great, because you never want to block the (D) action. Perfectionist - Free Govern the Unaligned. Zoo Hunting Ground - Two hunting grounds in play is very nice. Carlton Van Wyk - One of your best defense cards against Combat rush. Form of Mist - My ratio of combat cards is something I stole from Martin W. Heart of Nizchetus - Good, but not necessary. Seal of Veddartha - Better than the Heart. Scourge of the Enochians - played but never mattered. Banishment - This gets rid of problems and can cause more pool loss than Parity Shift. Guard Dogs - Fun with Enkil Cog, can get you to long range, and works with bounce.
