Description: Gain massive vote dominance with Ayo's special. Vote at 5 stealth or more. Gain pool. Kill. Good crypt draws all day. I think all my minions saw play at one point or another. The cel/for is only for Forced March, so I don't need all my minions to have that. The ones without obf can just sit around giving me votes if I have intercept to contend with. Although Ubende is really good in this deck, I only want one copy because I don't want to have to double anyone other than Ayo. Stole a Reanimated Corpse in round 1 and a Procurer in round 2. I would've liked to have another and maybe some more bleed, but couldn't find room. The intention here is to get past casual intercept and occasionally break a wall. I was imagining a Strange Day Banishment on Howler or something like that, but I never actually had to deal with much intercept. I lowballed the vote push because of the strength of titles. Since Ayo has inferior Obfuscate, I play one of each obf card, plus the Uncontrolled Impulses, Forgotten Labyrinths and Forced Marches. That could add up to a lot of stealth. I didn't get the Kholos all that often, but they aren't that important. Scalpel Tongue is a great card. I didn't have to use it defensively, but it's still nice to have. I originally had Telepathic Vote Counting, but I think Scalpel Tongue is a stronger card here. No room for strong combat defense. These were mostly in case I get blocked, not if I got rushed. Most of these cards were important at one point or another. I sort of wanted to put in an Obfuscate skill card for Ayo, but couldn't think of what to take out. I never played the Pentex. That was put in for wall-busting only. I don't imagine this deck could defend it well. Heavy payload here. Could probably drop one each of Eldest Command Undeath and Secret Must be Kept. I haven't gotten a lot of use out of those. Banishment was very important to my 2nd round victory. Just enough bounce/intercept to keep my predator guessing.
