Description: Trying to bleed without spending all the blood from my vampires. It is good to be blocked every now and then so you are not seen as a table threat. /* I made this deck in 30 minutes and there are some second best solutions just because of my unfortunate but self-inflicted time constraint Bottom heavy line of capacities. I'm quite happy with my choices here Could do without all the Lasombra-masters I was suprised to not be able to actually use the Graverobbing. I was expecting much more violent behavior. Free dodge with additional strike is so strong. Actually I was planning to get blocked every once in a while and thats why I have more combat cards than stealth. These were supposed to be cannon fodder but I dealt differently with rush decks (in round 1 I gave Beast one hour to go forward and get an oust before trying to oust its controller. A deal that was worth it for both of us I think). But they actually served as offence and in the final table Nocturns finished both of my ousts in a single turn. Card flow was decent and I was quite happy with the balance between modifiers and combat cards. The deck in itself isn't very clever or anything, but 38 Dominate cards seems to get the work done.
