Robert Goudie's Weenie Obfuscate/Auspex deck Well, first of all, I'm suprised at the contents now that I look at it. The original version was more heavily weighted toward Night Moves. This is probably half as many as were in the first version. I also removed all of the dodges and instead put more intercept. I've always called it a night moves deck but that really doesn't describe it well anymore. Let's call it a Weenie Obfuscate/Auspex deck. The crypt design is pretty obvious. I put 2 of each vampire that had Auspex+Obfuscate. I also put 2 of the 1 or 2 capacity vamps with Obfuscate. The Auspex vamps are key. I need to get at least one to start with. I think I'm pretty well known for really focussed decks (weenie dom bleed, weenie cryptic mission, weenie undead persistance, etc.) and this is somewhat of a departure. They're still weenies but I put in a good number of cards that may or may not be useful. As it turned out, these additions that watered-down my stealth bleed were a big benefit to me. I believe I won with no library cards left so I had an opportunity to play all of the one-shot cards. Delaying Tactics was used to save my bacon. The Malkavian Dementias were quite nasty and allowed me to take Lucian from my predator at a couple of key moments. The Muddled was quite useful, as were the Haven Uncovered (I believe Paul made use of it to attack Jeff) and the Sudden Reversals. I essentially used my size to get a quick kill of my first prey. Then, I had enough intercept to keep my next prey and my predator from killing me. The neverending supply of stealthy bleeds eventually did the trick. -Robert
