Description: Demdemeh makes a herd of elephant allies with 2 hand damage and one bleed. Babalawo Alafin combines with Maabara to allow you to craft the hand you need. It didn't work the way it was intended to in the finals. In retrospect I should have brought out Demdemeh instead of Wamukota as my second vampire, but I thought his ability would be important for my retain actions(it was never used). I never could get enough pool to bring out Demdemeh afterwards. A herd of elephants would have greatly increased my ousting ability. It is nice to know that the deck can survive without all of the "A" team in play.
