Notes
The deck is fairly straightforward in what it does...pump up hand damage
and press. The Burning Wrath and Death of My Conscience are added in for
a little surprise. Thoughts Betrayed keeps you in control of the
combat. Taste of Vitae is a key card in this deck because the Vampire's
will typically burn a lot of blood very quickly. I'm considering yanking
out the Bondings and The Sleeping Minds in favor some Bang Nakhs, Bastard
Swords, etc. so I can make the play up the hand damage aspect of the
deck. Play it and see what you think...
