Description: This deck started as an experiment in defending against stealth-bleed decks without the aid of bleed bounce. The idea is to get out obf-ani weenies, who then employ lots of Raven Spies. You can't expect to block everything (especially early on, when you're most vulnerable), but your predator will end up having to spend a lot of stealth cards to get each action to succeed, to the point where their hand will be stripped of sufficient stealth after one action and they'll have to wait until they draw more stealth before making another run. In the meantime, you can recoup any pool lost by farming from Blood Dolls. You're also looking to get bleed retainers and Sniper Rifles, as well as additional weenies. You eventually oust your prey with weenie bleeds.
