Highlights

This is an allies rush deck using {{ shambling_hordes }}. The idea is to use {{ liquidation }} to put some {{ shambling_hordes }} in the ash heap, the recruit other ones, paying for it with the discarded ones. They then proceed to taking down opponents vampires while the vampires bleed.

Most Master cards are used to get some blood back on the vampires or cheapen the cost of {{ shambling_hordes }}.

As the deck has a solid rush potential, {{ dragonbound }} and {{ fame }} can help deliver more pool damage.

{{ sudario_refraction }} is used to get the cards discarded by {{ liquidation }} back into hand, providing a nice recursion for this deck.

Tips & Tricks

{{ call_of_the_hungry_dead }} and {{ spectral_divination }} help bring out the {{ shambling_hordes }} without being blocked.

{{ trap }} can be used to take down big capacity vampires or allies with a defending ability like {{ carlton_van_wyk }}.

{{ the_unmasking }} and {{ fbi_special_affairs_division }} improve the allies quite a bit.

Variants

Many variants have a little bit more combat cards and do not bother with {{ the_parthenon }}, like {{ andrzej_jagla_s_deck }} from 2013.

The Swedish variant uses {{ tupdog }} for additional minions in the ash heap, {{ life_in_the_city }} to add blood to the vampires, and {{ trochomancy }} to help disrupt the recursion of decks using {{ ashur_tablets }}. {{ otto_kukkasniemi_s_deck }} from the 2011 Swedish NC is a good example.
