This is a toolbox Imbued deck. They are mortal allies and follow {{ specific_rules }}. They use Conviction and Power cards.
The idea of the deck is to get some Imbued out, {{ jennie }} first if she's drawn, then equip them with weapons and armors to be able to hunt and take down vampires around the table. {{ angel_of_berlin }} and {{ nra_pac }} are used to help equip them quickly.
As the game progresses, Powers make the Imbued more powerful. {{ vigilance }} is the most important, as it enhances {{ a_b }} a lot. {{ champion }} and {{ discern }} help bump up the defence.
{{ talbot_s_chainsaw }} is the key here, as its rush ability combined with its damage is very potent, and its disadvantage can be mitigated by {{ rejuvenate }} and {{ jennie }}'s ability.
Finally, {{ travis }}, {{ the_church_of_vindicated_faith }} and {{ inspire }} are used to bloat and accelerate the crypt.
{{ react_with_conviction }} is always the first Conviction an Imbued should fetch when he comes into play, as it protects them against anti-ally actions like {{ entrancement }}.
{{ smiling_jack_the_anarch }}, {{ tension_in_the_ranks }} and {{ dragonbound }} can improve pool damage a bit, but most damage come from bleed using {{ strike_with_conviction }}. If the bleed action of {{ strike_with_conviction }} is blocked, the Conviction is not lost, as its burn effect is the cost of the action, only payed if it is successul. It can then be used as a strike during the follow-up combat.
Decks in this archetype use different weapons and combat modules: the use of {{ talbot_s_chainsaw }} is rare. {{ target_vitals }} is a common inclusion, and {{ sniper_rifle }} is a more common weapon, as in {{ cory_busch_kendall_s_deck }} from 2010.
The Paralyze variant uses the {{ concealed_weapon }} & {{ flash_grenade }} combination and has been played by {{ john_newquist_in_a_2008_nac_qualifier }}.
The Apocalypse variant include more Gehenna events to cripple vampires around the table, as Imbued stay immuned to their effects. {{ sergio_gracia_s_deck }} from 2010 is a good example.
