Animal Friendship

This deck was constructed by Martin Engelhardt (mertel@pips01.informatik.uni-mannheim.de) around the wolf companion and murder of crows.
Crypt:                                     	Specials
Note: 10 Vampires have superior Animalism.
I'm not writing all special abilitys, only those which made me pick that 
Vampire over another.

Nosferatu:
Sebastian Marley				+1 hand damage
Harrod						IC
Chester DuBois
Ebanezer Roush					has protean & rush
Nikolaus Vermeulen				only normal Ani, but very nice
						special ability.

Gangrel:
Katarina					has potence
Ingrid Rossler
Bear Paw
Zack North					only normal Ani, but with 
						normal Pot & +1 hand, he is
						great for this deck
Wynn						pot & rush, the Gangrel version
						of Ebanezer
Gunther	
Gitane St. Claire

Yes, no small Vampires in the crypt. With this deck, you only have ~3 
Vampires out.

Potence (8)
Protean (4)

Slum HG

Inbase Disco
Heidelberg Castle

The Barrens

My Vampires should have superior potence and at least normal protean. KRCG 
and Barrens are obvious, as are the blood/pool givers. With lots of retainers,
Heidelberg is especially useful.

Deck Idea

Despite the fact that I wanted to use my aminal-retainers after they got thrown out of my Gangrel deck, this deck's idea is to burn vampires in combat. The rule that normal damage is applied before aggravated is of course used. It relys more on intercepting than on rushing. The three Bums Rushes are there just for some spice.

This deck is meat against a Malkav S&B predator, but they don't exist in our group any more. It is also fares poorly against a celerity rush deck. (I would like to put more immortal grapples in it, but I only own three).
