Hättest Du es nicht theatralisch "Hordes of War" nennen können?

Hättest Du es nicht theatralisch "Hordes of War" nennen können?

Ist ne Überlegung wert
Aber der Name ist eigentlich nicht das, was mir Kopfzerbrechen bereitet, sondern eher die Frage: "Was könnte das Deck effizienter machen?"...

Einfach nur mit War Ghouls spielen, zum Beispiel Im Moment ist das Environment aber eh nicht so ally-freundlich, finde ich. Erstens hat der Intercept und zweitens haben alle Stealth-Bleeder massenhaft ally-Klauer im Deck.

Na, ein bedrohlich-düsterer Name, wegen der psychologischen Kriegsführung.

Die Horden haben auch Intercept und sollen eigentlich die Vorarbeit leisten, bis sie nur noch ein Life haben. Dann werden sie in War Ghoule umgewandelt.

Gegen Ally-Klauer habe ich schon über Lobotomie nachgedacht, die Idee aber verworfen, da dann die Fähigkeit zu Maneuvern wegfällt. Durch den Tzimisce Newsletter May 04 kam ich auf den Gedanken Tzimis mit PRE zu spielen, daß lässt sich aber mit den HoS nicht vereinbaren.
Vieleicht sollte ich eine Intercept Wall aufbauen. HoS und Tzimis haben AUS...

I'd seriously consider staying with small tzimi's and just adding enough nec masters and sargon fragments. And use a TON of Jake Washington - he's the absolute best.

I only have two Jake Washington, but I hope I´ll trade some more
I´ll use the Lazarene Inquisitor to burn Blood on Vampires, but I think it could also work with Jar the Soul. Do you have any Ideas for a Crypt and Master Section for your Idea?
The Problem I see with small Tzimi´s is Bloodgain. The Hordes costs 3 Blood, how can I handle this Costs with Weenies?

Hmmm. Well, pool/bloodwise, you need to be able to pay for ghouls and hordes... so you need 3caps at least, generally, but horatio's real good for speed, and with 1 master he's a 3cap....

Master slots should be filled with at least 5 jake washington, I guess (I know, that's a lot of trading). 1 Giant's Blood. Blood dolls. Hungry Coyote. Coven, maybe? (I'm not a fan, but some people are). Inner Essences in your combat selection? (Although you generally want to avoid combat with your vampires, of course).

I went into the heavier Tzimisce because they will give you access to Telepathic Misdirection, and they will not be forced to hunt too much after getting a shambling. YMMV.

Good luck.

Gegen chronische Blutarmut würde ich dir ein paar Life in the City empfehlen, die sind echt nicht schlecht.

Edited: my post went awry.

I would removed the precog mobs, the entrancement (cool tho) and the spiritual intervention, and stick in one more trap, 2 more changeling, and an extra sargon fragment.

Cool deck. Try it, see how it runs. I've been thinking about silly ally decks myself, this is what I came up with yesterday:

There definitively should be in some "Babble".

Another silly idea would be to play EMPs with "Ghouled", so they can deliver their aggr. blow with potence, namely Immortal Grapple and some Undead Strength or even Pushing the limit (they've got one life more because of Ghouled). Funny. You can play it with Sunset Strip and Charisma and get them out for free. Even Nightmares upon Nightmare is no danger IIC.

I think the precog mobs could be usefull, cause you can attack with a War Ghoul and then untap to block.
I will try it, but at first I must have 3 more Jake´s...
Maybe it works with only 2 Jake´s, I´ll try first the 2 Jake Version and Post it here.
Thanks for your help

Pooh, Strange...

I would remove the Art of Memory, The and 2 Telepathic Misdirection to stick in 1-3 Fake Out.
Your Allys do nothing against Long Range Combat!!!

Babble could be usefull, but I think you won´t block any actions.

Cool Idea with the MRC and Dramatic Upheaval, could work
