| + | |||
| + | We played the Battle Lines storyline over here last Saturday, and got | ||
| + | a very decent attendance (16) taking into account that it's a summer | ||
| + | weekend. | ||
| + | |||
| + | The win went to Aleksi Nuora with his (Bahari) True Brujah deck. It' | ||
| + | a slow builder of a deck, but when it gets going it's very very | ||
| + | dangerous. It also has some fun tech (the Temptation angle, with | ||
| + | Abactor for maximized nasty). | ||
| + | |||
| + | All in all, I saw a lot of very different decks. Multiple Baali of | ||
| + | course (though nobody was quite crazy enough to bring a Loyalist Baali | ||
| + | deck :) but only two Kiasyd, which has a bit of a surprise for me. My | ||
| + | own (Nagaraja) deck packed a copy of Mistrust but I didn't draw it | ||
| + | once over 3 games -- plain bad luck there. It would have been useful. | ||
| + | The final round consisted of (in seating order): | ||
| + | |||
| + | * Matias Frosterus (Bahari Gargoyle), final total 2 GW, 6.5 VP | ||
| + | * Otso Turunen (Bahari Baali), final total 1 GW, 6.5 VP | ||
| + | * Antero Hakala (Loyalist Daughters), final total 1 GW, 4 VP | ||
| + | * Aleksi Nuora (Bahari True Brujah), final total 2 GW, 8.5 VP | ||
| + | * Marko Saari (Bahari Baali), final total 2 GW, 7 VP | ||
| + | |||
| + | The finals were actually pretty boring and resulted in a timeout... | ||
| + | almost everyone had so much bloat that nothing much seemed to happen. | ||
| + | The two Baali decks were both Great Beast -based, so they were stuck | ||
| + | in contest hell and ended up being a lot less powerful than they | ||
| + | otherwise would have been. | ||
| + | |||
| + | The full clan breakdown for the day was: | ||
| + | |||
| + | < | ||
| + | 4 x Baali (Bahari) | ||
| + | 3 x Gargoyle (Bahari) | ||
| + | 2 x Daughters (Loyalist) | ||
| + | 2 x Kiasyd (Bahari) | ||
| + | 2 x Nagaraja (one Bahari, one Loyalist) | ||
| + | 2 x Salubri (one Bahari, one Loyalist) | ||
| + | 1 x True Brujah (Bahari) | ||
| + | </ | ||
| + | |||
| + | Bahari was obvious a *lot* more popular, for obvious reasons. | ||
| + | It was a fun tournament, especially because ignoring the grouping | ||
| + | rules and some clan disabilities let you build decks you never could | ||
| + | try out normally. It was also very very unbalanced, the Bahari faction | ||
| + | card was miles beyond the Loyalist one in power, and letting Baali | ||
| + | ignore their untap cost let them do nasty things. Still, a fun time | ||
| + | was had. | ||

| + | Description : | ||
| + | Fairly straightforward. Control Villeined minions with Rants and | ||
| + | Tempts, oust when the opportunity presents itself. The deck is based | ||
| + | on the idea that if a stealth vote/bleed deck can cycle cards at a | ||
| + | nearly arbitrary rate it will win. | ||
