This is an allies toolbox deck relying on {{ emerald_legionnaire }}.
Hoping to get {{ khurshid }} out fast as a first vampire, the deck relies on its strong combat ability coupled with {{ AUS }} for blocks. The plan is to get another Harbinger {{ harbinger_of_skulls }} out, then {{ anu_diptinatpa }} later in the game. All the while, using {{ liquidation }} for bloat and aiming to recruit an {{ emerald_legionnaire }} to bring back the others from the ash heap.
The deck builds up slowly and steadily. Once an {{ emerald_legionnaire }} is out, he should be protected so he can bring back his mates from the ash heap on the next unlock phase. A few {{ vengeful_spirit }} can be stacked on the Harbinger vampires to augment the bleed power, {{ the_unmasking }} and {{ anu_diptinatpa }} both improve the {{ emerald_legionnaire }} capacities.
The deck originality is in the inclusion of {{ gear_up }}, an excellent card when you got your ash heap full of cards and possibilities early thans to {{ liquidation }}. It also includes very specific counters and meta-related cards, like {{ soul_feasting }} against other {{ emerald_legionnaire }} builds or to remove one that was stolen, {{ trochomancy }} against decks that use their ash heap with {{ emerald_legionnaire }} or {{ ashur_tablets }}, and {{ direct_intervention }} against {{ entrancement }} or {{ anarchist_uprising }} and similar votes.
The deck originates from the {{ emerald_legion }} archetype, but is mostly a tweak of Antti Penttilä's {{ khurshid_dream_team }}. As can be seen in the original list, a few non-BCP cards could be useful inclusions, like {{ erebus_mask }} and {{ my_enemys_enemy }}.
Other small tweaks can be considered: adding more {{ dreams_of_the_sphinx }}, if you're not concerned about too many contests, is a great way to cycle cards and fill your ash heap faster. The {{ heart_of_nizchetus }} is also worth consideration. Finally, the crypt can also be changed a bit: doubling either {{ anu_diptinatpa }} for bleed improvement or {{ angelique }} for blood economy makes sense.
Necromancy {{ nec }} cards are available on {{ print_on_demand }}, and the Harbinger {{ harbinger_of_skulls }} cards come from the {{ lost_kindred }} set. Most of the other cards come from {{ httb_a }} and {{ anthology }}. The last few cards can be found from diverse sets, like {{ V5 }} or {{ sabbat_precons }} decks, or replaced if you don't have them. {{ funeral_wake }} was included in the Kickstarter bundle {{ the_unaligned }}.
