Here's the list I played to get 3VP + 2.5vp in the prelims and glorious 0.5VP in the finals to win the whole deal. The author of the deck is Akseli Jalava; we switched decks prior to the tournament and I got the better end of the deal, apparently. The seating in the finals was: Matti - weenie Malks with Madness Network and Talbot's Chainsaw (drawing no copies of either in the finals) Petri - g5-6 Khazar's Diary with lots of Wraith-tech me - Montano Purge/Mind Rape Jukka - !Brujah anarch stealth bleed (Undue Influence+Power of One+Spoils of War) Tommi - Eldest are Kholo breed/boon 2 hours, some passionate discussion and 2 Autarkis Persecutions later, no-one got ousted, so I won as the highest seed. My game was basically ruined by Petri's Calrton burning my Montano, but Petri didn't get to do the actions to put out the wraiths to oust me because of weenie malks with permanent intercept. Tommi was the closest to be ousted: constant pressure by Jukka's !Bru bleeders plus 2 Delaying Tactics by Jukka during the same turn got Tommi to 1 pool before he bounced back to healthy 20-ish pool total in one turn. I'd suggest dropping Lucita for 3rd Moncada and adding probably at least one Villein. Camarilla Vitae Slave is cute but not worth the effort. Monastery should probably be in there, too.
