Call me Julio

Description: POT/DOM is always good. Let's add permanent rush, +strength, Nosferatu Kingdom and a bad attitude! You can see from the crypt that an important part of playing this deck is being incredibly lucky. I drew Beast in three out of four games and I drew Julio in every one. How'd I get so lucky? Dunno, I got a horrible crypt draw in a casual game on Friday. I've discussed some of the combat above and in other threads. In many ways, it's your basic Potence package. The key is the guys with +strength. The first time they beat someone down, they'll need a few cards (or a lot of cards) to do so. After that, a Grapple might not even be necessary. Pure goodness. An earlier version of the deck used Guardian Angels to avoid agg pokes and similar, but I took them out of the final version reasoning that most of the combat I see in tournaments is Potence combat or guns and also that considering the expense of my minions, my masters should gain me pool, not cost pool. I also had some Gang Tactics in an earlier version just because I think the art on them is hysterical and they're kind of useful. They were ultimately dropped for maneuvers because it seems more useful to me to be able to hold the maneuvers and play them in combat as needed than it is to assume I'll want close range on a certain action. Now that I've won a tournament with this deck, I might put them back in just for fun.
