x Ravnos Break

Highlights

This is a Ravnos x stealth & bleed deck using Break the Bonds to bleed fast and hard.

It is a pretty straightforward deck. Influence a Ravnos x, bleed with Break the Bonds, use O for stealth and bring more Ravnos x in play. Rince and repeat.

The deck relies on Memory Rift as its main stealth device, because it does not jam the hand, but also its combat ends effect can be frustrating to blockers and help jam their hand on combat cards.

At some point, Club Illusion, Week of Nightmares or both hit the table, and the bleeds become an unstoppable wave that sweeps the table.

In the meantime, simply use Visions of Zapathasura to reduce the predator's bleed.

Dabbler is, as in Platinum Revelation, a very good archetype to have, because it can let the vampires unlock for defense after a bleed or, maybe more importantly, get some blood back to feed a Club Illusion while they cannot hunt thanks to Week of Nightmares.

Tips & Tricks

Since the deck uses no bounce, Narrow Minds is a natural inclusion. Spying Mission can also be used to avoid damaging an ally when bounced by the prey.

Field Training is a nice inclusion, allowing to provide superior Obfuscate O to the few vampires who do not have it in the crypt.

Wash can be used to counter permanent intercept locations like Krcg News Radio, but also bloat cards like Villein, thus amonting to a bleed in terms of pool loss.

Variants

Guard Dogs can be used for additional unlocks to enable more Visions of Zapathasura, and Majesty can be added for a bit of combat defense. Given Break the Bonds effect, Faceless Night is actually stronger than usual, so more copies can be nice.

Visions of Zapathasura can be omitted altogether for a more streamlined version optimizing the bleed. More bleat is required then, like including a lot of Villein to recoup pool, see Darby Keeney's deck for example.
