Amusing, and interesting. I don't understand the wooden stake though, with only 4 cards giving +str and no way to retrieve it.

Could you squeeze in some dread gaze to defend the Tabriz assembly?

The stake is just a little suprise for some majesty-freaks if he has his path on him...

dread gaze should be an interesting thought though....

A little too much combat for that few intercept/rush possibilities imho

I will bleed and have little stealth...
and who would not block a bleed for 7 or 8

What happens if you don´t have Al in your start crypt? You have only 4 out of 18. Start fishing? Probably you are almost dead when you have him ....
Perhaps use Stranger Among Us? Not the best card, but probably still better ..

Another good thought....new version of the deck coming soon

Everybody who can bounce you, mate. Approximately over 50% of the decks played. And the others often shows up with Archon Investigation to defend against these powerbleeds.

Another problem is your Wormwood. Do you really want to lower the actually rather high capacity of Al and suffer from your own event?

Third thing: With only 6 mastercards in 90 you more or less throw away a whole phase of your turn and in this way ignore useful resources. Some of the strongest cards of the game are mastercards. Keep that in mind. If you just triple your Tabriz Assembly would be great. Some Bleeddefence (Dummy Corp., Archon Inv., Major Boon) would be helpful too. Giant's Blood? Secure Haven?

Where is the point in all the events at all? Bleeding for 8 will generate enough table hate allready, playing with all those events everybody will be more than reluctant to have you die. It´s nice to have Al untapped, but only for 5 Internal Recursion it´s just too much effort.

I would get rid of all the event stuff and most of the combat, trim the deck down to 60 cards. Find way to get the Caitiffs for free (e.g use a lot of superior Clotho´s Gift). Use them as chump blockers for combat defense. You can burn Caitiffs in torpor to get +1 bleed, don´t forget that! Probaby use Carver´s Meat Pack & Storage too keep them there.

Use Prophecies of Gehenna / Monocle of Clarity to check for Archon Investigation before bleeding for 8

Auch richtig....

@Johannes:

naja, ich würde mit diesem Deck, mit der Idee auch nciht auf ein Turnier gehen...

Wenn ich das wollte, dann muss ich richtigerweise die Events rausschmeißen und nur mit seinem Special und Temporis arbeiten....aber so fand ich es freakiger

Raff ich nicht. Turnier hin oder her, man will doch dass das Deck funktioniert. Die einzige Funktion der Events scheint mir zu sein Al zu untappen, das kannste mit einem DoE/Freak Drive einfacher (und auf Dauer billiger!) haben. Und gerade bei Fun-Runden sehen die Leute überhaupt nicht gerne Mass-Events, zumindest bei uns.

Ja stimmt schon....
ich bau es heute mal um und präsentiere eine andere Version
