Girls Will Find Inner Circle

VDB

Highlights

This is a stealth & bleed deck centered around the use of multiple Master actions and a lot of Master cards. This is commonly reffered to as a Multi Master Phase Actions construct.

The base idea is to get Cybele out, then Aksinya Daclau, using Zillah's Valley and Villein to get them out faster.

Cybele ability provides more master phase actions, while Aksinya Daclau's ability also uses the Master cards for bleed defence, providing a permanent bounce.

The deck has an exceptional bloat capacity, between Villein, Liquidation and Ashur Tablets.

While the game progresses, big capacity vampires with a strong permanent bleed bonus and O are put into play. They proceed to destroying the prey's pool using O stealth and their inherent bleed bonus.

The high number of Ashur Tablets provide an exceptional recursion. The more the game advances, the more the deck concentrates the cards it needs the most, depending on the table context and the opponents decks.

Tips & Tricks

Aksinya Daclau needs to be unlocked to use her ability. That's why the deck uses Guard Dogs and Rat's Warning.

The crypt uses vampires with O and R, so they can use Entrancement and Majesty. However, most vampires do not have access to d or A for additional bounces. As the vampires have a very big capacity though, Lost in Translation provide additional bounces in case of a very aggressive predator.

Variants

Many small variations exists, depending on the cards used outside the Master module.

A common variation is the Girls Will Find AIDS, more combat-focused and using Nana Buruku and an I combat module using Deep Song, Aid From Bats, and Carrion Crows. Hugh Angseeing's deck from the 2011 NAC FCQ is a good example.

Corey Brindley's deck won him the 2019 NAC (and a few other tournaments). It is using Anson instead of Cybele as a base for multi-master, using the fact that he has d and a title to include a few votes and d cards. The whole crypt is different and the deck ditches Aksinya Daclau and Zillah's Valley, for a slower start but a very strong middle game where suddenly Deflections are available and a few votes can be included.
