Proxy Kissed: Boston (TWD)

I somehow managed to win yesterday's 8 player tournament at Your Move
Games, run by Ben Peal in Jozxqk's absence. I had been planning on
playing a deck built around Iniko the Black Lion, but I left the crypt
at home in Vermont and had to dig through the rest of the decks I had
brought. The deck I ended up playing was the only one that hadn't
recently been mangled in some way to build something else. I had never
played it before the tournament, and given some of the problems in its
initial design, I'm quite surprised I managed to do as well as I did.

In the end, the final table went to time. I was 2nd seed, Ben Peal was
1st. The seating order was:

John Eno playing Tremere and !Tremere-->
Ben Peal playing Imbued with some vampires-->
Me playing the deck below-->
DJ *last name here* playing !Brujah rush/bleed--->
John Scherer playing Tzimisce intercept combat

Ben was unreasonably targeted with a whole lot of table hate, since he
was playing Imbued and was, you know, Ben. This left me in a good
position to just go forward and oust DJ without too much trouble. I
was really close to getting through John, but I just stopped drawing
stealth, and my combats with the Tzimisce took their toll on both of
us. When the game timed out it seemed fairly likely that Ben would
have swept up the remaining 4 vp if the game were even 20 minutes
longer. In fact, I would have been ousted by Dragonbound at the end of
my own final turn, but I managed to call a Con Boon for 6. At that
point it was up to the Johns' titled vampires to decide whether I won
the tournament or Ben did, and John Eno's votes tipped it to me. For
the record, I'm not super proud of winning this way, and I *still* have
substantial objections to the way time limits are implemented. Anyhow,
here's the deck.
