This is a powerbleed deck using {{ card("Edward Vignes") }} and low capacity vampires with the dr disciplines. {{ card("Edward Vignes") }} ability to counter rush actions with a discard is an excellent protection against combat-oriented decks.
{{ card("Bonding") }} and {{ card("Seduction") }} are used to get the bleed through. {{ card("Anarch Troublemaker") }}, {{ card("Misdirection") }} and {{ card("Pentex™ Subversion") }} are used to lock the prey vampires, together with the R {{ card("Mind Numb") }} + {{ card("Majesty") }} combination.
{{ card("Deflection") }} and {{ card("Delaying Tactics") }} are used for defence.
Getting some blood back on {{ card("Edward Vignes") }} is critical, as many cards he uses have a blood cost, so {{ card("The Coven") }}, {{ card("Giant's Blood") }} and {{ card("Jake Washington") }} are included. Even {{ card("Blood Doll") }} can be used to move blood from the pool. In this example, {{ card("Life in the City") }} is added to get even more blood back on the table.
The name of the archetype is a wordplay referring to {{ card("Bleeding the Vine") }}.
{{ card("Daring the Dawn") }} and {{ card("Foreshadowing Destruction") }} are used for the lunge. The use of {{ card("Direct Intervention") }} on a modifier like {{ card("Conditioning") }} prevents it to be played again on the same action (as a modifier can only be played once and, even if countered). Using an alternative bleed enhancer is permitted though (the modifier did not apply, so limited bleed enhancement is still possible). {{ card("Foreshadowing Destruction") }} can even save a lunge this way.
The deck is expected to be very aggressive toward its prey and get a quick victory point in the game beginning, so {{ card("The Bitter and Sweet Story") }} makes sense as it will help keeping some momentum afterwards.
There are not many variations to this archetype. {{ card("Life in the City") }} is an original inclusion, {{ card("Entrancement") }} and {{ card("Force of Personality") }} are often included.
