I attempted to build a deck that could survive long enough in a tournament environment in order to make a deal or two and then finish off my prey and maybe my grand prey in one huge flurry. Based on my previous tournament experience I figured I'd face alot of bleed and vote and not much rush/combat that didn't feature IG (in which case I'd be screwed anyway), hence the lack of combat cards. The idea is to generate enough blood to keep your pool away from any huge votes or bleeds, Sudden or DI anything that's gonna hurt you real bad, try not to piss off the D-attackers, let your predator bleed your prey and wait for the moment to strike. The crypt features 7 votes and plenty of Dominate for those Deflections. Plus with 42 master cards out of 90 total, Anson is a MUST. Ulugh and Cardano are the Day Op finishers and Muaziz is versatility. You must be VERY patient playing this deck, you can't really go forward until you're ready to commit everything for the kill. I tried to rifle through the deck as quickly as possible (Storage Annex/Ulugh/Parthenon) and get the cards I need for the finisher locked in the annexes. All you're looking for is to get your prey down to 7 pool, then send Muaziz in to knock out any stoppers with a Revelations and then go for it! Ultimately this is proof that a deck doesn't have to be some kind of "nasty creature" to win a tourney.
