Animals
Highlights
This is a Multiclan Anarch toolbox deck using Animalism coupled with the powerful Organized Resistance Barons provide.
It is one of the first tournament wins featuring the new V5 Tzimisce, and it was built by no other than Nina Nilsson, 2023 UK Grand Prix Champion.
It does use the classical Animalism tools one would expect: Deep Song to be able to bleed or rush, and the classical Aid From Bats & Carrion Crows module that made Nananimalism a force to recon.
But here, thanks to the new Tzimisce k Barons and Ravnos x sidekicks, it's a full Anarch version right off the bat, and it can use and egregious number of Organized Resistance and a couple Bait and Switch to provide a strong defense on top.
Not relying on Anarch Revolt for the oust with all the Anarchs lying around nowadays, it just uses Fame and Club Illusion. The Master module provides a good bloat, getting the vampires blood back to influence more of them.
Considerations
It's nice to see the V5 Tzimisce k finally scoring a win here, and interesting to see making a comeback. Even though has been in fashion lately, and Banu Haqim n combat is very hard to match, combat is still a stable and dangerous module.
So, one can wonder: will the Tzimisce k manage to pull off a whole new archetype by themselves, or is this kind of Animalism mix what we'll see hitting the top tier in a couple of months? We'll have to wait and see.
There's not much to say about the deck itself. The Master module is packed already, but maybe there is room for a Powerbase: Los Angeles somewhere here. If The Status Perfectus is worth including, maybe a Dog Pack deserves consideration too.
