This is a breed & boon deck from the Toreador antitribu {{ toreador_antitribu }} clan. Low capacity vampires multiply with superior {{ enchant_kindred }} and {{ the_embrace }}, then use {{ palla_grande }} to bleed hard.
{{ AUS }} is used for defence with bounces like {{ telepathic_misdirection }}, {{ art_scam }} is heavily used for additional bloat. {{ PRE }} provides combat defence in the form of {{ majesty }}.
The deck does not have a lot of stealth, it uses the sheer number of actions to overrun the opponents defences. That said, most actions the deck is performing have a natural +1 stealth embedded. The bleed actions, on the other hand, will only get through because of their sheer number
The lack of stealth is compensated by a few tricks: actions can be used as bait just to invite a block and use {{ majesty }} or {{ change_of_target }} for another action. If he's in the crypt, {{ jost_werner }} stealth bonus can come in handy. For the lunge, {{ anarch_troublemaker }} can help lock key minions so more bleed get through.
{{ entrancement }} is a good motivator for this deck, as one of the best defence against allies, especially one that can rush minions like {{ ossian }} or have intercept like {{ carlton_van_wyk }}. But it can also delay an {{ emerald_legionnaire }} deck substantially.
Timing is key in this deck and building a proper lunge important. One does not want to lose minions to tentative bleeds that get blocked. At the same time, the deck should not shy away from opportunities and, if the prey's defences are low, it might be best to land a few bleeds outright than just buildup with {{ the_embrace }} and {{ art_scam }}.
There are a lot of variants based on this {{ palla_grande }} card.
The Grande Exhibit variant uses votes and {{ foundation_exhibit }} to include a dozen {{ consanguineous_boon }}. This means more bloat, more minions and more {{ embraces }}, like in {{ jannes_deck }} from 2016.The archetype is in fact pretty close to the {{ rebekka_jost }} archetype, so variations with {{ rebekka }} in the crypt are common, like {{ gines_deck }} from 2018.
The included cards can vary a lot. Far more {{ entrancement }} can be played to disable allies deck more systematically. {{ charsimatic_aura }} can be included in numbers to counter combat decks, especially those relying on {{ immortal_grapple }}. {{ mind_numb }} is also a common inclusion.
