Deck Archive: Freaking Princes

Submitted by Robert Doktorow

Introduction

It works surprisingly well, (just one wake-card, no deflections, crypt heavy, ...).

I only have 4 freak drives, if I get more I will ditch some other cards in favour of them.

Playgroup extras: 80 card decks per default, play wwef as written

<Archivist's Note: A short and sweet introduction. Essentially, the deck uses lots of princes to good effect. The combination of Fortitude and Obfuscate allows for an unusual way of playing with princes. You can stealth your actions past without fear (I might be tempted to add Forgotten Labyrinth for the +2/+3 stealth on non-bleed actions, which feature heavily) and defend yourself from attacks. Just hope you don't end up in combat with a Tremere (nah, that'll never happen.... *hears Xian coming to attack with a large mallet*) or an Assamite. Perhaps a little slow for some environments (e.g. tournaments) but a fun deck by all appearances. You hopefully shouldn't have too many worries about pool, with those Minion Taps and Fifth Traditions.>

Crypt

12 Vampires

• 2 Nicolas (7, Nosferatu, for, obf, Prince, move 1 from con. vamp. to uncon. Nos.)
• 1 Selma - the Repugnant (8, Nosferatu, for, OBF, Prince)
• 2 Sheldon (9, Nosferatu, for, OBF, Justicar)
• 3 Suhaliah (9, Ventrue, FOR, OBF, Prince, +1 bleed, +1 stealth if prey have Pr. or Just.)
• 2 Queen Anne (10, Ventrue, FOR, obf, Prince, +1 bleed, if prey Trem. +1 bleed)
• 2 Arika (11, Ventrue, FOR, OBF, InnerCircle, +2 bleed, prey pays for locations)

Crypt average: 9.08 Total Capacity: 109 Worst Draw: 42 Best Draw: 31 (!)

<Archivist's Note: A big crypt, with a fair bit of duplication, too. If you are very unlucky, you could end up with only 2 different vampires in your initial uncontrolled region. Not a useful position to be in, because then you have to waste transfers getting new vampires out, and in a deck this slow to get vampires, you might worry about that.>
