Description: Ummmm... Pretty obvious bleed or rush with lots of Pot minions. Use Computer Hacks to force blocks or bleed for steady twos. Bring back diab'ed minions with Hand of Conrad. Use Tributes as soon as you get them, don't be afraid to Tribute to empty cos most of minions can use Hungry Coyote when you get it to fill back up. Change of Targets draw out wakes etc and make the deck a tiny bit faster and much more annoying by adding to the total number of actions possible. Ivory Bow is in mainly to contest because its about the most common 'worst single thing' you can come across and is pretty useful on its own. Two non-pot Sabbat weenies are there to make up numbers, would do without and go down to twelve but have run out of crypt a few times which is no fun. Also was a bit of an experiment on a few different levels. Has put my mind to rest that a weenie pot Sabbat Embrace is indeed missed deck opportunity #23 **sigh** Wanted to try a version with a lot of solid masters and it worked pretty well - what you lose in cycling you more than make up for in pool gain so that works for me. A lot of the masters (18 assuming a minion is out) are playable 'out of the box' so you don't often have them sat in your hand... Which is nice. A goodly amount of pool gen for a Pot deck and two AI's coupled with numbers backrushTM makes for a pretty resilient Pot horde that keeps on coming. Anyway enough crap here is 'Brick in a sock'
