Highlights

This is a stealth & bleed deck using the Lasombra clan, with the {{ DOM }}{{ OBT }} disciplines. During the beginning, it uses {{ govern_the_unaligned }} to get vampires out faster and cheaper. When enough minions are into play, it switches to delivering strong bleed actions using {{ OBT }} for stealth.

The deck uses {{ nocturn }} to protect its vampires from agression, but also to deliver more bleed in a single turn. At some point, {{ the_unmasking }} comes into play and makes them even better defenders.

Stealth is high, with 14 stealth modifiers and {{ elysian_fields }} as a permanent enhancer.

{{ deflection }} and {{ delaying_tactics }} defend against bleed and votes, and the deck uses no combat card at all, relying entirely on the {{ nocturn }} and stealth to avoid it.

Tips & Tricks

One or two {{ nocturn }} should be brought into play each turn. Keeping one in hand just to make sure it can be brought into play the next turn makes sense.

{{ pentex_subversion }} can be used for the lunge if the prey has a strong blocker.

{{ on_the_qui_vive }} can also be used by a {{ nocturn }} so it can bleed and block a rush action.

{{ zaire_river_ferry }} is an additional stealth enhancer, plus it prevents rush actions: a nice combination.

Variants

This example decklist uses an unusually high number of {{ nocturn }}. The Standard variant uses somewhere between 5 and 12 of them, and more {{ govern_the_unaligned }} and stealth modifiers. {{ sergio_gracia_s_deck }} from 2009 is a good example. He even uses {{ anarch_convert }} just to help rotate the crypt and make sure 4 different vampires get out fast.

In a sense, the {{ kiasyd_stealth_bleed }} archetype can be seen as a variation of this one.

The Black Hand variant uses groups 3 and 4 to include {{ henri_lavenant }} alongside {{ ermenegildo_the_rake }} and {{ banjoko }}, so it can use Black Hand cards like {{ tattoo_signal }}, {{ watchtower_four_ride_forth }}, {{ remover }} and {{ the_admonitions }}. {{ csaba_greguss_s_deck }} from 2009 is a good example.
