The Combo (repost) by Matt Rehlow   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #1223 of 6092 |
You may have heard a reference to a deck called The Combo being
played by this crazy guy Rehlow. If you haven't already heard about
it, well you just did now. I am not being cocky by calling this The
Combo (well maybe I am, since if it was as amazing as I claim I would
be keeping it a secret). This should work a little better than Turbo
Arika, because it leaves you with an army of free vamps if it stalls
half way through.

I will first explain how the deck works (since it is rather tricky)
and the decklist will follow. You want to get The Baron in play as
fast as possible (Coroner's Contact), then you need to get the Soul
Gem on The Baron (equip or Vast Wealth). If The Baron is at 1 blood
(Minion Tap) or you have an untapped vampire in play use Force of
Will at inferior to bleed with the tapped The Baron (you can use
superior if you plan to diablerize him). If The Baron is at 1 blood,
he will use it to pay for Force of Will and then take 2 aggravated
damage, burning him. This will trigger the Soul Gem and the next
vampire will be younger than The Baron, and come into play with the
Soul Gem and full blood. If The Baron is in torpor, have your other
vampire diablerize him and trigger the Soul Gem. With the new vampire
play Possession on The Baron. The Baron enters play untapped with 1
blood. The Baron now takes an action to get the Soul Gem. The Baron
then plays Force of Will at inferior to start the cycle over again.
The stealth (and Seduction) is in there to make sure the zero stealth
Possession succeeds.

And here is the deck everyone is waiting for: (ok there is at least 2
people that want to see the decklist)

the turn before the combo goes off)

Action Modifier (22 cards)
6x Seduction
4x Bonding
2x Cloak the Gathering
2x Lost in Crowds

4x Spectral Divination

Reaction (4 cards)
4x Deflection

Additional Comments: I played a 16 crypt version (I have gone through
my whole crypt in the 12 card version) at Praxis Seizure: Butler, but
the discipline spread isn't as tight and your hand ends up with cards
no one in play can use (swapped in some Telepathic Misdirection to
take advantage of increased auspex). To figure out who I used, use
every vampire with NEC that is 8 cap or less. I'm thinking of taking
out Bart and Enzo and adding Pochtli and a unique NEC vampire (If
Pochtli comes up from the Soul Gem while Pochtli is in play he will
burn, triggering Soul Gem and everyone else will be younger than
Pochtli). This would allow me to play a little more obfuscate, which
could help in the intercept heavy environment I've been seeing (or
sitting next to in tournaments). I think that I am giving this deck a
rest though, so many other decks I would like to play at tournaments
(and a storyline legal version might be a bit hard).

I would like anyone that has seen this deck in action to comment on
how it has performed. Of course anyone with any ideas is free to add
their comments as well.

Later,
~Rehlow
Most Used Card: Force of Will
Fav Card: Soul Gem/Lunatic Eruption
