This is a stealth & bleed deck starring {{ rachel_brandywine }}. The idea is to use her {{ PRO }} discipline to fetch an {{ homunculus }} which, alongside {{ madness_network }}, will let her bleed during multiple consecutive turns.
Stealth is high, with 15 modifiers and {{ form_of_mist }}.
On the defence side, {{ second_tradition_domain }} and {{ eyes_of_argus }} are used to intercept and protect the {{ madness_network }}, with many copies of {{ earth_meld }} to avoid combat and stay unlocked.
The deck is slow in the beginning but has a decent defence and, once the combination hits the table, it can finish a prey very quickly.
{{ enkil_cog }} is a cheap way to have {{ rachel_brandywine }} bleed for 3 instead of 2. Moreover, it can replace {{ madness_network }} a bit if it is destroyed.
{{ homunculus }} costs blood, so {{ perfectionist }}, {{ giant_s_blood }} and {{ the_rack }} are essential to feeding the combination.
{{ greger_anderssen }} is an excellent sidekick as he also has {{ pro }} and can therefore use an {{ homunculus }} too. Moreover, he is also Prince, meaning he gets to play {{ parity_shift }} and {{ second_tradition_domain }} too. If {{ protean }} is drawn, he can even use {{ earth_meld }} at its full potential.
{{ blessing_of_chaos }} is a useful addition, as it can cripple bleed modules a bit, forcing them to use their bleed modifiers before blocks are announced. It's also a counter against the occasional {{ mind_rape }} or {{ sensory_deprivation }}.
There are only slight variations of the crypt and library for this archetype. {{ heart_of_nizchetus }}, {{ sport_bike }}, {{ camera_phone }} and {{ fifth_tradition_hospitality }} are often used, as well as {{ shadow_of_the_beast }} and {{ powerbase_zürich }}. On the crypt side, {{ maris_streck }} is often included too.
Using this mechanic of bleeding during multiple turns can also be seen in the {{ the_unnamed }} archetype, which also uses {{ homunculus }} and {{ enkil_cog }}.
