The Dark Side of Politics

{% endblock %} {% block archetype %}>

Highlights

This is a vote deck using centered around the Of disciplines, with {{ card("Giotto Verducci") }} as a star.

The base idea is to get {{ card("Kaymakli Fragment") }} fast using {{ card("Giotto Verducci") }}'s ability, then use it (the infernal version) to get some titled vampires out fast and cheap.

Using O for maximum stealth, the deck then proceeds to destroy its prey with {{ card("Kine Resources Contested") }} and {{ card("Parity Shift") }}.

The deck has no bounce against bleeds, but {{ card("Villein") }} and {{ card("Parity Shift") }} make for a nice bloat. Furthermore, the few {{ card("Second Tradition: Domain") }} and {{ card("Unleash Hell's Fury") }} provide a sturdy defence already.

Tips & Tricks

{{ card("Ashur Tablets") }} provide a bit of recursion so that cards discarded with {{ card("Giotto Verducci") }}'s ability can be fetched back.

{{ card("Condemnation: Mute") }} is used to get the vote lock faster by silencing opponents titled vampires.

{{ card("The Textbook Damnation") }} is included so that another vampire with f can get the {{ card("Kaymakli Fragment") }} from {{ card("Giotto Verducci") }}, use {{ card("Freak Drive") }} to unlock then use the Fragment again in the same turn.

{{ card("Wider View") }} is included to help rotate the crypt and get rid of the spurious {{ card("Giotto Verducci") }} copies for more titled vampires.

Variants

Variants exist using different crypts, like Inner Circle vampires with OD or centered a bit more around the OR disciplines with more Ventrue in the crypt: {{ card("Arika") }}, {{ card("Jaroslav Pascek") }}, {{ card("Lucinde, Alastor") }}, {{ card("Marcus Vitel") }} and {{ card("Queen Anne") }}. {{ link("/deck-search", _("Vincent Ripoll's deck"), twda_id="2015encle") }} for the 2015 English NC is a good example.
