This is a stealth & bleed deck using the Lasombra clan, with the D£ disciplines. During the beginning, it uses {{ card("Govern the Unaligned") }} to get vampires out faster and cheaper. When enough minions are into play, it switches to delivering strong bleed actions using £ for stealth.
The deck uses {{ card("Nocturn") }} to protect its vampires from agression, but also to deliver more bleed in a single turn. At some point, {{ card("The Unmasking") }} comes into play and makes them even better defenders.
Stealth is high, with 14 stealth modifiers and {{ card("Elysian Fields") }} as a permanent enhancer.
{{ card("Deflection") }} and {{ card("Delaying Tactics") }} defend against bleed and votes, and the deck uses no combat card at all, relying entirely on the {{ card("Nocturn") }} and stealth to avoid it.
One or two {{ card("Nocturn") }} should be brought into play each turn. Keeping one in hand just to make sure it can be brought into play the next turn makes sense.
{{ card("Pentex™ Subversion") }} can be used for the lunge if the prey has a strong blocker.
{{ card("On the Qui Vive") }} can also be used by a {{ card("Nocturn") }} so it can bleed and block a rush action.
{{ card("Zaire River Ferry") }} is an additional stealth enhancer, plus it prevents rush actions: a nice combination.
This example decklist uses an unusually high number of {{ card("Nocturn") }}. The Standard variant uses somewhere between 5 and 12 of them, and more {{ card("Govern the Unaligned") }} and stealth modifiers. {{ link("/deck-search", _("Sergio Gracia's deck"), twda_id="2k9fdsn") }} from 2009 is a good example. He even uses {{ card("Anarch Convert") }} just to help rotate the crypt and make sure 4 different vampires get out fast.
In a sense, the {{ link("/archetypes/kiasyd-stealth-bleed", _("Kiasyd Stealth & Bleed")) }} archetype can be seen as a variation of this one.
The Black Hand variant uses groups 3 and 4 to include {{ card("Henri Lavenant") }} alongside {{ card("Ermenegildo, The Rake") }} and {{ card("Banjoko") }}, so it can use Black Hand cards like {{ card("Tattoo Signal") }}, {{ card("Watchtower: Four Ride Forth") }}, {{ card("Remover") }} and {{ card("The Admonitions") }}. {{ link("/deck-search", _("Csaba Greguss's deck"), twda_id="2k9budapesthcq") }} from 2009 is a good example.
