Not quite weenie OBF AUS DEM. Concept was to bleed for 2 or 3 each turn and avoid stealth jam but still have enough of it if need be; thus most of the stealth served a dual purpose. Reality was never enough DEM in the opening crypt and rarely enough AUS for the counters to work effectively. By the time I got to the finals I knew that I had to go digging for the AUS or I was toast against my Malk! predator. I had to cycle like a bastard to oust Claudio to win and learned that Misdirection is worth its weight in gold (hang on, a single library card doesnt weigh very much), ok more. Midget was my vampire of choice on the day as my prey in both the third game and the finals was packing raven spies. Nor did I regret packing 16 Telepathic Counters as they are eminently cyclable and manage to consistently frustrate, with only one card, my predator. My sympathies to Salem who because of his irresponsible bleeding ultimately gave me the game win in game 3 due to a pass the parcel bleed for 5 at 3 stealth! Cheers Telepathic Misdirection.
