Ich denke auch, da im Moment auf Turnieren nicht die großen Voterdecks gespielt werden. Nur mit Antivotekarten muß man deshalb rechnen, aber bei 9 PS sollte man kein allzugroßes Problem damit haben.

Deck Name: Mata&Maris version 2.0
Created By: Johannes Walch
Description: Played this in the French Championship. Slimmed down version including Sudario Refraction for card recursion. Better than the previous version, but I was cornered between Wall Deck(prey) and Cybeletron(pred) in the first and between two Wall Decks in the second round, even then managed to oust my preys, but timeout prevented GWs. Third round also timed out due to heavy negotiations with a lot of votes on the table.

This deck could really use some better bleed defense, perhaps I will change the crypt to more AUS and include more Telepathic Misdirection and 1-2 Archon Investigation.

PTO kann aber nur vernüftig von IC gespielt werden und die sind dann oft der Tablehate. MIt Parity Shift kannst du besser dealen und bist nicht so auf dem Präsentierteller.

Ben Peal's Tournament Winning Deck with 4 VPs in the finals

Deck Name: Cybelotron
Created By: Ben Peal
Description:
This deck was originally based on Erik Torstensson's Summon the Serpent
deck, which won a tournament in Gothenburg, Sweden in 2005. His deck
mixes in Settites, and includes Temptation and Form of Corruption. The
deck is a blast to play, but I felt the need to strip it down to its core:
Cybele, Great Beast, and Golconda. I took out the Serpentis actions,
replaced Vast Wealth with Magic of the Smith, added more stealth, dropped
some unneeded masters, dropped the Minion Taps down to 4, and increased
the Golcondas up to 4. I put the deck on the back burner for a while, as
I was working on intercept walls, but I saw that Johannes Walch happened
to make the finals of the 2007 Dutch Qualifier with a Cybele + Great
Beast, so, emboldened by Johannes' succes, I figured I'd get back to work
on my own version. Johannes' addition of Antediluvian Awakening was pure
genius, so I included it in my version.

The operation of the deck is as follows: you put a skill card on Cybele,
who then plays Magic of the Smith to get the Soul Gem of Etrius, untaps
via Truth of a Thousand Lies, then plays Call the Great Beast (OBF PRE
SER). Cybele explodes, bringing out a brand new Cybele. The Great Beast
bleeds, and the new Cybele bleeds with her special. On the next turn, you
Golconda your Great Beast and play a skill card on the new Cybele. Cybele
bleeds with her special, untaps via Truth of a Thousand Lies, then plays
Call the Great Beast, and the Great Beast and Cybele bleed again. When
you can (when you need to), you Minion Tap the Great Beast or play
Redeem the Lost soul to cash in one of your blown up Cybeles. You also
have some protection against Archon Investigation, as you're free to pump
up Cybele's bleeds due to the Soul Gem, If they play AI, then they've
paid 3 and given you a new vampire who can now bleed for 3 more.

I think Johannes is right to have 3 Soul Gems in his deck instead of the 2
that my version and Erik's version use. I nearly lost the finals due to
drawing both Soul Gems while sitting in between 2 intercept walls. I also
think that Johannes is right to have 5 Golconda and 3 Minion Tap instead
of the 4 and 4 that I use, since you'd rather get rid of the Great Beast
and make a new one instead of Minion Tapping it and leaving it around.
Antediluvian Awakening is an amazing card for this deck, as it gives you
the ability to blow up Cybele when you need to, such as when Cybele is
sitting in torpor, or if Pentex Subversion is played on her. Johannes'
version adds in some bleed cards -- Sense the Sin and True Love's Face --
as well as Ossian (he found the ability to rush to be helpful). My
version stays focussed on the combo, and is stealthier.

Vielen Dank, jetzt weiß ich Bescheid. Sehr feines Deck. Macht sicher Spaß zu spielen. Ich wäre auf so was nicht gekommen. Schauder.

Pyro · Post by **Pyro** » 03 Oct 2007, 15:35

Aber ich dachte der Soul Gem und Golconda funktionieren nicht, weil der Vampir nicht "burned".

Das stimmt auch.

Das Golconda ist fuer das Beast, nicht fuer Cybele.

Cybele, who then plays Magic of the Smith to get the Soul Gem of Etrius, untaps via Truth of a Thousand Lies, then plays Call the Great Beast (OBF PRE SER). Cybele explodes, bringing out a brand new Cybele.

Ich beziehe mich auf diesen Teil

Cybele stirbt durch den cardtext der action Call the Great Beast.

Sofern man vom Hardy nicht in Runde 2 für 11 und in Runde 3 für 10 gebleedet wird schon (geschehen auf dem Dutch-Qualifier).
