Basic Considerations What cards will I use to damage my prey? bleed, vote, other (payload) What cards will I use to make the payload succeed? stealth, combat, other (delivery system) What cards will I use to protect myself? Do I use a payload-based defense? (counter, bounce, DT) Do I use a delivery-system-based defense? (intercept, combat, other) Do I combine strategies? Which vampires do I use? Clan vs. Disciplines big vs. small Basic Deck Archetypes Stealth Bleed (bounce for defense) (mal, !mal) Stealth Vote (intercept for defense) (nos) Stealth Vote (bounce for defense) (las) Combat Bleed (bounce/intercept for defense) (tor, !tor) Combat Vote (intercept for defense) (bru, tor) (for Advanced Deck Design?) Other Offensive Strategies weenie horde freak drive (multi-rush) anarch revolt, antediluvian awakening, judgement: cs contagion fame, tension choir, enticement blocker denial (seduction, call, elder imp., psychomachia) war ghoul, garou (combat variant) Other Defensive Strategies bloat combat as defense (rushing upstream) max offense (defense is 6 pool gained from ousting)
