This is a toolbox deck starring {{ malgorzata }}, using the rare {{ AUD }}{{ VIC }}{{ THA }} disciplines combination and big capacity vampires with great abilities.
{{ malgorzata }}'s unique ability helps influencing a big capacity vampire fast. Then {{ mistress_fanchon }} or {{ sha_ennu }} hit the table - they can bleed hard, but also have the same disciplines as {{ malgorzata }}, so they can do whatever she does. The classical {{ zillah_s_valley }} + {{ villein }} combination is used to speed up this setup even further.
{{ VIC }} makes for a dreadful combat module, with {{ chiropteran_marauder }} and {{ breath_of_the_dragon }} delivering aggravated damage at any range. A couple of {{ rotschreck }} helps cover almost any the combat cases when blocking.
The deck includes a solid defense module based on {{ AUS }}, with {{ telepathic_misdirection }} to bounce and a lot of wakes and intercept for general defense.
Both {{ mistress_fanchon }} and {{ sha_ennu }} have a +2 bleed ability, and the deck provides quite a bit of stealth with {{ changeling }}, {{ mirror_walk }} and {{ plasmic_form }}. A couple of {{ conditioning }} are added for the lunge.
{{ direct_intervention }} is great against block denial cards like {{ elder_impersonation }}. A lot of cards might be worth cancelling, but a properly timed {{ direct_intervention }} can real make or break a game.
{{ magic_of_the_smith }} can be used to fetch any of the included equipment, depending on what is most useful for the current table situation. If nothing specific arises, {{ heart_of_nizchetus }} is a good default.
The deck leaves a lot of room to variations due to its toolbox nature. One needs to tinker with it and adapt it to the expected {{ meta }} but it is certainly suitable in many situations.
The Diablerie variation includes a far more severe combat module. Seen first in {{ bram_van_stappen_s_deck }} from 2015, it can execute diablerie upon diablerie on the opposing vampires. {{ the_erciyes_fragments }} is a great inclusion here given the good defense and discipline spread, and {{ scourge_of_the_enochians }} a good counter against some swarm decks. Relying on the {{ chiropteran_marauder }} maneuver to include {{ mark_v }} is a great idea. {{ nicolas_deck }} from 2017 is another example of this build.Actually, {{ malgorzata }}'s ability might be less relevant to the whole strategy than one could think at first sight. The Sha-Ennu variant ditches her in favor of {{ unmada }}. This allow for the use of {{ obf }} instead of {{ THA }}, for more stealth, as in {{ tuomas_deck }} from 2015. The inclusion of {{ nightmare_curse }} for {{ sha_ennu }} is a nice trick that could be used in other versions: coupled with {{ banishment }} and the occasional diablerie, this can really shake a table.
