A way around many problems...

I've been thinking about many people's complaints about certain vampires. The "Girls will..." series of decks have been very commonly touted as something that needs nerfing. So I've been thinking of tournament quality decks I could use or propose for the (mostly) EU & US metagames that would have a chance to deal with a "Girls will..." or things like "Una-equips-the-library". It seems that plenty of these decks are 'Star' decks or at least 'necessary goons' decks. So these ideas of mine all end up revolving around:


So my thoughts now gravitate to a few concepts:

Small-to-mid-cap Rush (Nose of the Hound+Burst of Sunlight/Flames of the Netherworld)
Tremere Princes (w/ Anathemas, Thefts, plenty of intercept, lots of votes)
Tremere-Anti Nephandi/Cryptic Mission (Drain them of blood, drop them to torpor, Nephandus nom-nom-nom)
Assamite Magi (Use the standard assamite stuff with a big splash of Name Forgotten, Magic of the Smith, etc, etc, etc)
G4 Snakes (There are quite a few and you could easily splash in a Tha module to complement the other shennanigans you're working on...)

Variation on the theme...

Deck Name : Martin's Wall
Author : Juggernaut1981
Description :
Martin Frankel pulls a lot of weight in this deck... it's not a 'superstar' deck, but Martin certainly does a lot of hard work when you get him.

Angry Witches Mk2

Deck Name : Angry Witches
Author : Juggernaut1981
Description : This is basically a Nephandus Deck with a LOT of flick defence for when some sleazy mofo manages to crack out a 5-bleed at > 1 stealth. As a point, I'm tossing in two copies of The Name Forgotten, it might even do with 2 more, because it seems very much worth it to ping down a Star Vampire and then strip them out of the game entirely.
