Often spelled !Ventrue Grinder (the "!" prefix has been used to denote the antitribu clans for a while), this is a toolbox deck using the Ventrue antitribu clan and their fad disciplines combination.
The idea is to get the highest capacity vampire out, then use {{ card("Govern the Unaligned") }} at superior D to get more vampires out fast and cheap, then later to bleed with the help of {{ card("Conditioning") }} and {{ card("Bonding") }}.
The intercept module uses A for intercept, wakes and bounces, and d for additional bounces with {{ card("Deflection") }}.
The combat module uses f for damage prevention and {{ card("Weighted Walking Stick") }} to deal more damage.
The deck is on the slow side, grinding at the opponents blood and pool reserves during the game until it can finally lunge to oust its prey.
{{ card("Daring the Dawn") }} is kept for the lunge.
The deck has not much stealth, so it uses some powerbleed techniques, like {{ card("Pentex™ Subversion") }} and {{ card("Anarch Troublemaker") }}.
There are many small variations to this archetype:
The Guns Grinder variant uses {{ card("Concealed Weapon") }} and guns in the combat module, like in {{ link("/deck-search", _("Ravel Zorzal's deck"), twda_id="2016bncsb") }} from the 2016 Brazilian NC.
The Protean Grinder variant uses {{ card("Lazverinus, Thrall of Lambach") }} and {{ card("Dylan") }} int the crypt for j, in order to include {{ card("Claws of the Dead") }} and {{ card("Earth Meld") }}. {{ link("/deck-search", _("Jackson Iribarren's deck"), twda_id="2k9sac") }} , won the 2009 SAC with it.
The Powerbleed variant focuses on bleed more, using only {{ card("Aura Reading") }} with some f prevention for the combat module. {{ link("/deck-search", _("Bob Joseph's deck"), twda_id="2018nacd2co") }} won the 2018 NAC with it.
