English NC 2001 -- a.k.a UK National Cup 2001 · GenCon UK, London, England
September 1st 2001 · won by Rob Treasure
It's a reworked version of the old classic, built to handle most threats but a field of pure focus would not be the best. Other than my various Ventrue creations and the retired LoP. deck it is probably the one that I have spent most time over the years tweaking and analysing. Interestingly it is also the deck that I have scored the least VP's (1) with in a tourney with ? Metagames hey !! It tackles most common ‘tourney standard' decks very well and slugs it out with all but pure Gangrel Potence and Tzimisce Scorpion Sting/Blood of Acid. Got to be wary of Kiss of Ra and Hostile Takeover, they are really the only two things that really worry it consistently. I did have another Sudden Reversal and 2 Leathers in up to a few minutes before the tourney but traded them out for the Guardian Angel, another Disarm and a 7th Second Tradition. The Guardian Angel was amazingly useful and came out in most of the rounds, the 7th Second was exactly the right amount on the day. Very happy with the decks performance, it had enough whack to take out Beast and friends in a pure combat deck and was ‘focussed' enough to apply consistent pressure on my prey all the time.
