Description: Overwhelm the table with your need for tasty brains. Pretty obvious choices here. Le Dinh Tho was a last-minute substitution for a 3rd Isabel. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have won without him. Yet again I make my deck too big. This should've been in the 70-80 card range. I never came close to running out of cards and there were certainly some key cards I wanted to draw. Pretty standard "don't block me" package. Could've been more cards, but since the action starts at 1 stealth (2 with Andrea), this was sufficient. I used the Spectral Divinations for intercept more than once. These events worked out very well. I was lucky in drawing them early every round. Dragonbound helped me gain almost every VP all day. Six cards in hand is plenty for a Horde deck since I don't rely on any combat combos. Unmasking was discarded in round 3, but was critical in round 2 and the final. FBI Special Affairs Division is just huge. It makes a Horde with 1 life very useful indeed. I actually didn't Rack up very many counters on it. It mostly served as a deterrant. I had meant to replace 3 Deflections with Redirections to save blood, but I forgot. Don't know if that would've made a difference. The bounce was crucial in round 2 and the final but useless in rounds 1 and 3. Only played Poison Pill once and it didn't change the outcome of the referendum. I keep trying with this card, but I've yet to have any positive outcome. The only nice thing is the Hordes can play it.
