Battle Lines: Atlanta, Storyline Results

Battle Lines: Atlanta, Storyline Results
Date of event: June 19, 2010
Location of event: Atlanta, Georgia
Number of players: 8
Winning Player: Jeffrey Thompson
Winning Clan: Salubri Antitribu
Winning Faction: Bahari/Lilith
Key Minion: Adonai

We had 8 players and we played 3 rounds without a final. We ran the
event as a multi-deck multi-judge tournament. In the six games, I
believe there were only 2 Loyalists. Lilith?s Blessing is too strong
not to play, and the motivation for an action for an alternate hunt
action is lacking that Guide and Mentor was only played by decks that
didn't think they would ever have empty vampires. (Neither of those
two decks got victory points, to my recollection.)

This is my memory of the results:
Salubri Antitribu (I am I) 2 GW, 6 VP
Baali (Hordes + Unnamed) 1 GW, 5.5 VP
Nagarja (Anu Diptinatpa + Sennadurek) 1 GW, 4 VP
Daughters of Cacophony (Lilly Prelude) 1 GW, 4 VP
Harbingers of Skulls (Byzar + Slaughterhouse + Brinksmanship) 1.5 VP
Daughters of Cacophony (Scout + Shattering Crescendo) 1 VP
Baali (Nergal + Saulot) 1 VP

Other decks that were played:
All Gargoyles with only some Tupdogs
Another Nagaraja deck with the same crypt
Salubri Antitribu (Laibon + Kerrie?)
Salubri Antitribu (The Loving Agony of Targeted Vitals)
Hermanas Menor Love Lilith and Thrown Sewer Lids
Saulot brings all his buddies to the Marionette show
Huitzilopotchli Soul Gem Super Bleed with extra block fails

This is basically the same deck I played in Charleston last February
for a tournament win, with a second Kervos replacing Richard Tauber to
be 75% Salubri Antitribu. No changes were made to the library.


Deck Name : I am I
Author : The Lasombra
Description : This is a great 4 player deck. Everyone is close
enough to be touched by the intercept and combat.
2nd round, 3 VP, with grand predator getting 1 (Burned Huitzilopotchli
backwards before he got a Soul Gem)
3rd round, 3 VP, with grand predator getting 1 (Blocked a number of
Hermanas)

Do you think the card is too strong in normal play? I have yet
to try it as a "living Jake" but it looks incredibly strong, especially
in those decks which plan to run 40+ masters anyway.

Lilith's Blessing
Master
1 pool
Put this card in play. As a master phase action, you may tap this
card to search your library for a Master:Discipline card and choose
a ready non-Bahari vampire you control who has no blood. That vampire
gains the Discipline card (if any) and 3 blood and becomes Bahari.

i think it is the factt that it starts in play. which means you only
need the villein for the combo to go off...

I think it is potentially very strong in a deck that can get it into
play early. So one would need 4 or more of them. It is too strong
when it starts in play on your first turn every game, especially
compared to the other option in the Storyline.

I do expect to see Lilith's Blessing in non-storyline decks,
particularly those that can spend a lot of blood, like Shambling
Hordes decks or a Ravnos Week of Nightmares deck.

I gained 9 blood with it in the last game in a deck with no Vessels or
Villeins. I wouldn't expect it to see much play in decks that want it
for the discipline master, but certainly Hermanas can always benefit
from it.

It is certainly good in and of itself as a regular (non storyline)
card. It costs a pool. And requires you to start the turn at 0 blood
and uses an MPA to make it work, so it seems pretty reasonable for my
money. But I have been using it regularly just to get 3 blood on my
guys once each game.
