O Giovanni Powerbleed
Highlights
This is a powerbleed deck of the Giovanni O clan. is used for bleeds and bounces, and for block denial, a bit of stealth and combat defence.
The highest capacity vampire should be influenced first, so that Govern the Unaligned can be used at superior to get more vampires out cheap and fast. Once it got three vampires, the deck proceeds with bleeds, using Govern the Unaligned at inferior , plus modifiers for stealth, like Bonding and Spectral Divination.
The deck has almost no defence against votes but, at the same time, isn't too exposed. It still has a Delaying Tactics just in case, and Spectral Divination can always provide a bit of intercept.
The deck is fast and brutal. It does not have a lot of stealth but the vampires are cheap, so they're out fast and start bleeding early. Anarch Troublemaker and Pentex™ Subversion help disable potential blockers, and a bit of stealth, plus block denial with Seduction and Call of the Hungry Dead, can overcome most defences.
Tips & Tricks
Trochomancy is an good modifier: not only does it enhance the bleeds, it is also a good counter against Ashur Tablets.
The cards tend to cost a lot of blood: hence, The Coven, Jake Washington and Perfectionist are included to regenerate a bit.
The combat module is a mix of Spiritual Intervention and Breath of Thanatos: the opponents will have to ponder the risk of the latter before coming in for a rush.
Variants
A lot of minute changes can be considered:
The Giovanni O have great allies that can come in handy, like Tye Cooper, Ambrosius, Puppeteer, Felix and Leonardo. Including them might render Breath of Thanatos more versatile and provide a welcome anti-rush defence, but might also need a bit of protection with a couple of Far Mastery to get them back if they're stolen: all in all it's good support but can also hurt the card flow.
