This is an allies toolbox deck focused on the {{ card("Nephandus") }} ally. {{ card("Antonio d'Erlette") }} is the star of the deck: he gets some {{ card("Nephandus") }} out without even taking an action someone could block.
The combat module is designed to be playable by the {{ card("Nephandus") }} themselves, using presses, {{ card("Molotov Cocktail") }} and {{ card("Target Vitals") }}.
The Master module uses {{ card("The Parthenon") }} to play two Master cards per turn, allowing for the efficient use of {{ card("Ashur Tablets") }} and {{ card("Liquidation") }} to bloat and adapt the deck to the table context as the game progresses.
{{ card("Haven Uncovered") }} and {{ card("Frontal Assault") }} are used to let the {{ card("Nephandus") }} rush the opponents minions, while {{ card("The Unmasking") }} improves their interception capabilities.
{{ card("Fame") }}, {{ card("Tension in the Ranks") }} and {{ card("Dragonbound") }} are used to improve pool damage.
Some {{ card("Tupdog") }} are used to rush even more, although their disicplines are not used at all.
{{ card("Antonio d'Erlette") }} or a sidekick can use {{ card("Deflection") }} and {{ card("Delaying Tactics") }} for defence.
{{ card("Secure Haven") }} can be used to protect {{ card("Antonio d'Erlette") }}, but also to contest another one if need be.
Disciplines are not much used in the deck, so {{ card("The Slow Withering") }} is a nice inclusion to cripple opponents decks, plus it is another Gehenna event {{ card("Fortschritt Library") }} can fetch.
{{ card("Direct Intervention") }} should be kept in hand to counter anti-ally actions like {{ card("Entrancement") }}.
The Mafioso variant ditches the heavy Master module {{ card("The Parthenon") }}, {{ card("Ashur Tablets") }} and {{ card("Liquidation") }} to use {{ card("Magic of the Smith") }} and {{ card("Empowering the Puppet King") }} instead, like in {{ link("/deck-search", _("Hugh Angseesing's deck"), twda_id="2k8originsfridayam") }} from 2008.
Other variants complete the crypt in original ways, to get more bloat with Assamite vampires like in {{ link("/deck-search", _("Greg Williams' deck"), twda_id="2k8wonwednesday") }} from 2008, or some bloat but also more bleed with Toreador antitribu and {{ card("Palla Grande") }}, like in {{ link("/deck-search", _("Jordi Tomás' deck"), twda_id="2010badiafeb") }} from 2010. {{ link("/deck-search", _("Jonathan Sanchez Rios' deck"), twda_id="2011lvdsbdvs") }} from 2011 even includes the Imbued {{ card("Béatrice \"Oracle171\" Tremblay") }} for cheap additional bleed.
Although this is a different archetype, {{ card("Nephandus") }} can also be used alongside {{ card("Tupdog") }} in the {{ link("/archetypes/tupdogs", _("Tupdogs")) }} archetype.
