[DECK challenge] Petaniqua

I played a similar deck to this, but with less combat, more stealth
and a bit of intercept.

Simply put, paying for the allies and the infernal penalty becomes too
much if you have an active predator.

Let me know how it goes though...

Something I threw together. I'd want it to be smaller, probably
remove cards that didn't work out as intended.

I've been tweaking this kind of deck off and on for a while now, more
off than on. It's been played in various incarnations a few times, but
never with much luck. I always seem to meet an antithesis deck when
trying it out.

"Petaniqua may recruit a werewolf ally as if she meets the requirements
of playing that card."

Unlike Mata Hari who only gets faux "sect and/or clan", Petaniqua gets
_all_ the requirements. She can play Cry Wolf without actually being an
Anarch.

This is the deck I built, and it works pretty well. I still can't
bring myself to play werewolf pack in any deck other than a Talbot's
Chainsaw deck.

XZealot has previously indicated that Ossian is very popular in his
circles - hence the inclusion of a Trophy or two in some other decks.

This MAY be to do with that, as well as whatever else.

it is both a good free melee weapon to crush opposing werewolves who
can then be resurrected, and also to contest it

Apparently not me.

You shouldn't do it even in a Talbot's deck. Talbot's isn't a melee weapon.

wtf? is this in case someone steals your werewolves? i'd replace this
with the Restructure. it's very bad if someone steals this off you! or
is it to contest? if you're worried about other people having it, play
Target: Hand instead.

huh. who'd have guessed?

ah yes. I got lulled into a false sense of security by this particular
deck's lack of Trophys.

how about adding some babble? that, plus unmasking you can make a

oh hey cool. I didn't even notice the Resurrections in there. However,
it'd probably still be better off just stealing it back (1 card) instead
of killing it (combat where you get hurt, plus needing the Baton) and
then bringing it back (1 card).
