Crusade V: Helsinki · Helsinki, Finland
July 12th 2003 · won by Pekka Miettinen
"The Nosferatu Is Your Friend!" (aka. Nosferatu- A Gate Too Far) Since the library has practically no cards that give additional votes (except the Elysium) it is essential to get as many votes into play as possible - with big Minion Taps it's not uncommon at all to have 8-9 votes in the late game (Harrod, Nikolaus, Sheldon, e.g.), which is usually enough to pass a referendum. In combat, the deck relies heavily on maneuvers gained from Thrown Gates and Swallowed by the Nights. In case the opponent seems to be able to handle long-range combat as well, the deck has some light damage-prevention. In general, though, it is best not to block actions/bleeds from combat-heavy decks, but rather to try to bloat quickly with Minion Taps and Parity Shifts. The deck placed second in Crusade: Helsinki IV, and first in Crusade: Helsinki V
