Description: The idea behind this deck is of course primarily stealth bleed, with a secondary function of trying to choose one's battles. Chanjelin Ward and Redcap Wilder pose undesirable consequences to other Methuselah's vampires, while Shadow Twin and Riddle Phantastique effectively single out targets and attempt to make them weaker. With the powerful combat supplied by Mytherceria and Obtenebration, these vampires can usually choose whether they want to strike hard or make a quick getaway. Archon Investigations were added to dissuade others from trying big bleeds, and Centralized Background Checks to make the dreaded Poker a little more expensive to get out. The strongest vampire in this deck is, arguably, Marconius since he is the only one to possess all three disciplines at superior as well as paying 1 less blood for Mytherceria cards, but this deck really does not focus on any one vampire in particular. Rather it focuses on getting as many vampires out as possible, starting out rather slowly to create a wall of Faerie mischief late in the game.
