Description: Anarch Khazar's Diary Deck Updated from my Origins version, where I missed the finals on tournament points. I added more cards, dropping most of my stealth for Liquadation and Sudario Refraction. The minimal stealth worked well today, but the key to both rounds that the deck performed well in was to get a Khazar's into play before my predator or prey had any minions to block with. As I expected it was an ally heavy day with the final having 3 ally decks: Alex (Garou) 1.5vp -> Mariya (Anneke/Anson toolbox) 0vp -> Me 1.5vp -> Mark (Shamblers and Hookers) 0vp -> Jeff (Gargoyle Razor Bat wall) 0.5vp I actually didn't play The Unmasking in the final because of Mark's allies, though he played it a turn later. Alex had the first oust, but the Diary was primed by that point. I kept whittling Mark down to 1 pool and putting more wraiths into play, hoping to lunge and get both Mark and Jeff in a single turn. As time wound down, I got Mark, but on 5 actions I couldn't get a single wraith bleed to succeed against Jeff. Realizing the with little time remaining my best bet was to turtle up as both my predator and prey ganged up on me and I could do very little against 4 minions with standing intercept. I could have probably lasted only a few more turns, but timed was called. Thanks to Orpheus for a few tips on the deck. For certain decks I've upped my Converts from 5/13 to 6/13; proved useful for this deck.
