Description: Stealth Bleed Keep it simple. Get out a bleeder as quick as you can and keep bleeding. If you bring out a vampire and you are bleed, bounce the bleed. If you get bounced and you are going to take out someone elses prey play Spying Mission. Suddens are for minion taps or very bad for you masters. Pranks are to keep other prey in the game by giving them pool or to slow the game/gain pool on early turns. Fear of mekhet was tossed in moments before I left for gencon as I thought there might be some big bad bloat decks. well... that was the idea... things went sour when Robyn put out a war ghoul turn 3 in the first round and I had to gain pool like mad for many turns as I made the deal not to bleed her if she just didn't come my way with the war ghoul over and over. Govern back and suck it off/prank saved me from the 4+ bleed a turn I was taking till I thought I might be able to take her out in one turn and didn't make the deal. I think I got my max stealth action of 7 to get the bleed in and I actually felt bad about it. Robyn should have won that game in my opinion if she had wanted to pound on the poor guy who had only played 2 games in his life that was her prey. The final was pure seating as Jeff (the Lasombra) knows. All in all luck won the day for me more than anything. Took 19VP thursday and 0 friday mostly due to bad play by me and a bit of bad luck as well.
