Bits of this deck have been borrowed and stolen from my visits to
Sweden and France.
I particularly rate the newer additions like Carlton and Pack Alpha.
The deck needs some improvement and could benefit from additional
forward pressure like an army of rats.

Sadly Laurie had to drop the final due to needing to play a last minute
gig with
www.nephwrack.co.uk.
This left the following order for the final:
Phil Thompson
Anthony Coleman
Matt Cook
Hugh Angseesing
Paul Coffey
Phil and Anthony quickly arranged not to contest Tsunda who was vital
to Anthony's deck.
A few turns followed of steady build up by Ant's bleed horde and
Matt's Ishtarri. Hugh brought out Nadima and Paul and Phil both
brought out two minions (Blackhorse Tanner, Ingrid Russo, Gharston and
Tatiana)
At this point Phil found he was struggling with two minions and put two
pool on his (supposed) copy of Tsunda. Anthony called a KRC to deal 3
damage to his predator (Phil) and 1 to Matt to discourage any possible
contestation of Tsunda. At this point there were only two Laibon
Tunimos in play so contesting Tsunda may have slowed Anthony down.
Matt pulled the Ishtarri Kholo and Ayo Igoli which meant Ant needed
Eldest are Kholo to pass each vote (not really an issue with 14!).
Paul started his bleed machine up and was able to cause considerable
damage to Phil. Ant piled on the minions and forced Matt to defend
more (with four Ishtarri). Hugh got Ghivran out to go with Miriam and
Nadima, he then atoned for his crimes.
Paul was able to pile through Phil through use of bondings and
seductions. This left Ant to decide whether or not to oust the wall
deck (on 10 pool no blood dolls) or to oust Matt first and brazen it
through the intercept. He chose to oust Matt rather than try and draw
a KRC to cross table the wall. He confidently bled out the Ishtarri
with the help of Paul Forrest.
Hugh then played a Pentex Subversion on the only Ravnos above 5,
Tsunda..
Paul bled Ant for a small amount.
Anthony asked Paul if he'd take a 3-2 split, Paul was not sure if he
should yet and decided to wait before deciding. Ant bled with several
minions to Hugh down to 3 pool, but he did not remove the pentex.
Hugh then played his guardian angel on Ghivran taking him to 1 pool but
providing a firm blocker.
Paul bled Ant for a small amount. Ant tried to convince Paul to that
if he lost some of his tunimos against Hugh, Paul should then get rid
of the atonement as it'd be more balanced this way.
Paul decided against this. Ant was quiet for a few turns as Hugh got a
powerbase Montreal and a blood doll out whilst Paul continued to bleed
Ant for small amounts.
Ant decided he would be dead before he got to is week of nightmares (2
hit Ghivran for 2 HD) so self ousted leaving Hugh and Paul.
Paul tried to oust Hugh and got out 6 vampires but the wall deck was
able to beat them down and send three of them to torpor in quick
succession. Hugh then drew his smiling and took out Gustav leaving
Paul with two minions and 5 pool. He called it a day leaving he and
Hugh on 2 Vps each.
Guardian Angel and Atonement had saved the day with a healthy dose of
luck.
The star deck of the day was clearly the Ravnos Eldest are Kholo deck
which was obscene, and can be made even nastier with the addition of
strange day, Eldest command undeath and a pentex.
Nice one Anthony.
