Highlights

This is a powerbleed deck using {{ edward_vignes }} and low capacity vampires with the {{ dom }}{{ pre }} disciplines. {{ edward_vignes }} ability to counter rush actions with a discard is an excellent protection against combat-oriented decks.

{{ bonding }} and {{ seduction }} are used to get the bleed through. {{ anarch_troublemaker }}, {{ misdirection }} and {{ pentex_subversion }} are used to lock the prey vampires, together with the {{ PRE }} combination {{ mind_numb }} + {{ majesty }}.

{{ deflection }} and {{ delaying_tactics }} are used for defence.

Getting some blood back on {{ edward_vignes }} is critical, as many cards he uses have a blood cost, so {{ the_coven }}, {{ giant_s_blood }} and {{ jake_washington }} are included. Even {{ blood_doll }} can be used to move blood from the pool. In this example, {{ life_in_the_city }} is added to get even more blood back on the table.

Tips & Tricks

The name of the archetype is a wordplay referring to {{ bleeding_the_vine }}.

{{ daring_the_dawn }} and {{ foreshadowing_destruction }} are used for the lunge. The use of {{ direct_intervention }} on a modifier like {{ conditioning }} prevents it to be played again on the same action (as a modifier can only be played once and, even if countered). Using an alternative bleed enhancer is permitted though (the modifier did not apply, so limited bleed enhancement is still possible). {{ foreshadowing_destruction }} can even save a lunge this way.

The deck is expected to be very aggressive toward its prey and get a quick victory point in the game beginning, so {{ the_bitter_and_sweet_story }} makes sense as it will help keeping some momentum afterwards.

Variants

There are not many variations to this archetype. {{ life_in_the_city }} is an original inclusion, {{ entrancement }} and {{ force_of_personality }} are often included.
