This is a toolbox deck using {{ deep_song }} to rush or bleed and a {{ ANI }} block and combat module.
Using {{ nana_buruku }} allows the inclusion of a lot of {{ ashur_tablets }} for a nice recursion. This lets the deck adapt to the table context while bloating. {{ anarch_revolt }} and {{ deep_song }} are used to deal pool damage and, of course, the incidental {{ fame }} can help.
{{ deep_song }}'s versatility is at the core of this deck, as often in {{ ANI }} decks. It can be used to bleed or to rush a cumbersome minion depending on the situation. The deck has decent defense with a bit of intercept, especially once a {{ raven_spy }} or two hit the table. {{ underbridge_stray }} helps with the wakes, making an opponent think twice before acting, but can also provide a welcome press when using {{ carrion_crows }} in a combat.
The combat module relies on the usual {{ aid_from_bats }} + {{ carrion_crows }} long range {{ ANI }} module, with a couple of {{ canine_horde }} against weapons like {{ magnum }}, and the occasional {{ hell_for_leather }} for a dodge when things get too hairy.
{{ powerbase_luanda }} is a nice tool for such a deck with decent combat abilities. Orian comments on the decklist that {{ fish }} should replace {{ effie_lowery }} here just because of this card.
The deck does not have a lot of intercept, but plays {{ powerbase_montreal }} and {{ the_rack }} nonetheless, relying on the threat of a retaliation rush to protect them.
Without {{ bounces }}, the deck defense is pretty low, so it might need to rush back a bit, at least until a {{ raven_spy }} or two are employed. {{ archon_investigation }} is also almost mandatory here, and could be doubled if heavy bleeds are to be expected.
Getting {{ wider_view }} at some point helps getting rid of the spurious {{ nana_buruku }} in crypt. She's also only played in 4 copies to avoid jamming the crypt too much; other minions are needed for the deck to work well.
As often with toolboxes, a lot of potential tweaks are possible here. {{ the_anarch_free_press }} is a very common inclusion and {{ terror_frenzy }} or {{ target_vitals }} can be considered for the combat module. {{ aranthebes_the_immortal }} for defense or {{ codex_of_the_edenic_groundskeepers }} might also fit here.
The Weenie ANI variant plays {{ ani }} without {{ nana_buruku }} nor {{ ashur_tablets }}. It is arguably less versatile, and more of a rush deck than a toolbox deck, but it's still very strong. {{ kim_nilsson_s_deck }} from the 2016 Swedish NC is a good example.
The Resistência variant, played by {{ mailton_silva }}, ditches the {{ ashur_tablets }} to focus on a lot more {{ anarch_revolt }}. It is also leaning a bit more on the rush side, with only a few reaction cards to keep the opponents on their toes: the plan is to rush any Anarch vampire the prey could have to make sure the damage from {{ anarch_revolt }} is properly applied.
