What is this deck...?
The idea is to basically make a part Blood-Grinder and part Temptation/Minion Theft deck. It is to try exploit the synergy between Temptation, Corruption Counters and Cryptic Mission effects. The wide variety of actions, and low stealth, should be counteracted by minion numbers and Change of Target. With access to Dominate (through both Tremere and Halim Bey) it seemed a no-brainer to pack a good wad of Deflections. There is a distinct combat weakness, only running Theft of Vitae. Truth of 1k Lies is part offense and part multi-act. Hopefully being able to use it with things like Cryptic Mission to offset its otherwise prohibitive cost.Attack Plan:
Regular frequent bleeds for 1 or 3.Minion Deprivation by minion theft from my prey and Minion Borrowing from my Predator.
Superior Numbers (aka The Russian Method... 5 men, 1 gun)
Action Overload.
Vampiric Disease. This is all about dropping blood off minions by proxy. Putting it on minions with Temptation will give me a way to potentially deliver the Disease Counters forwards. Also, the untap from Temptation will drain blood faster and get the minions to the point where they can be taken most turns, forced to hunt and then borrowed by me to go forwards.
Defence Plan:
Deflection, deflection, deflection...Don't Spend. Cheap minions with Govern the Unaligned. It is not really intended as a bleed card except maybe in a lunge.
Minion Borrowing. Use my predator's minions to go forward. That potentially drains my predator's blood and can buy me time.
