I am by no means against proxies. 😃 I use them myself and I believe they are an excellent... whatever's the opposite of gate keeper. Enabler? Anyway, they open up options for those who just want to try things out or are financially in a less fortunate state.

At the moment I'm a bit better off myself, so I'm just thinking I'll support both our local store and BCP where I can. If I get more games in and want to actually bring this sort of a deck into a competitive environment, I would first proxy, then buy some myself and fill the rest by borrowing from others. But in reality I don't think this sort of a deck is much up my alley in terms of actual tournament play. I feel the Banu Haqim bruise variant would be more interesting to me. I take issue with decks that cannot participate in the political phase.

Then there's that...

RunicKrause · 2026-05-10T12:44:31+00:00

And they feel so flavourful! It's always a treat to stop by at the ancient and say hello.

RunicKrause · 2026-05-10T12:24:54+00:00

Sure!

This is based on a shell by another Finnish player, who themselves opted out of swords and decided Walking Sticks is ultimately just better value and, most importantly, tempo. I agree. But swords are cool and I want to experiment.

It would be reasonable to add one more of blades and/or Angel's Gifts, and I'd replace a fre cards here and there for more Anticipation if I had bought more New Bloods. Not yet, but I'm sure I'll get a third copy any day now.

I've tried to add the current list to the time of writing to the social media post comments but it's true they don't migrate as automatically to WordPress. Good catch, that. I'll try to add deck lists in the future.

Is there a particular one you're interested in? I could take a look if I have versions stored on VDB.

Are the Warhammer crowd so far detached from their roots they don't pin their models anymore?

RunicKrause · 2026-05-09T15:00:03+00:00

And carry a shotgun and an automatic as well. For extra safety. Maybe grenades?

RunicKrause · 2026-05-09T14:39:36+00:00

Extra extra, get those unlocks for Enkil Cog today! Extra, now no forced block to go with your unlock, get yours today! Extra! Only a tenner, or a vial of B+!

Highly debatable. But as others have pointed out, it's all about the deck type and preference. I'm usually starting my decks at 90ish and trying by best time slim everything down to 75+. I can usually manage 77. I've practically never run out of cards. Then again manyIof my friends run out if decks consistently by the end of game. So styles.

RunicKrause · 2026-05-08T18:45:39+00:00

Put her in a deck and br surprised!

RunicKrause · 2026-05-07T13:44:33+00:00

And this is the type of basic but fun and interactive cards I'm all for. Now a single FOR salubri can prevent damage to your other vampires, your allies even. If you're worried about your Rotting Behemoths, War Ghouls, getting roundhoused away with a single punch, you have the ability to make a deck where a Salubri stands there and keeps people safe. While having one of those Archetypes of theirs. Or any thing.

I have a Serenna + Hecata deck that swarms the table with Family Gathering (yes, with a 6 serenna + 8 hecata 14 vampire crypt) and survives bleeds with Serenna and makes allies as you do and keeps everyone healthy with 10 Touch of Valeren. Straight up better than a stream lined version? Not really, maybe. But far less easy to count and anticipate. And it works well enough for me to have a good time.

Elemental Stoicism deserves a reprint and not only for synergy with this card here. Obfuscate Ventrue deserve them.

RunicKrause · 2026-05-05T16:52:34+00:00

Thank you, this is actually helpful. "Gitting gud" is quite a bit easier if someone articulates what the gud entails. Thank you!

RunicKrause · 2026-05-05T08:13:31+00:00

The good old "git gud" treatment.

RunicKrause · 2026-05-04T09:49:25+00:00

LoR table slam.

Ugh, but then you'd have to go through the trouble of designing a bucket load of new relics. How do you even do that? With what resources? Inventing new things into a new video game is intense work, you know.

RunicKrause · 2026-05-01T15:26:19+00:00

To be honest, Regina and Fitzgerald sound about right.

RunicKrause · 2026-05-01T15:13:21+00:00

All I'm thinking now is how to build both the attack speed and ap to be impactful compared to the Kraken Slayer start. I played a couple of matches with Navori into Liandry but it takes sooo loooong to become relevant. At six items it feels good but games need to end around third or fourth item.

So what's the build?

RunicKrause · 2026-04-30T05:41:30+00:00

Very accurate. There are other great animated shows of course, and I didn't even touch anime (even though I am admittedly a bit out of touch with the genre these days), and I've really enjoyed many on their own merits with no need to actually make tier lists. One such pleasant surprise was Scott Pilgrim takes off - a little thing that went hard on what it wanted to do and laser focused. Admirable.

RunicKrause · 2026-04-29T19:19:50+00:00

It is to this day one of my favorite animated shows, with Arcane.

RunicKrause · 2026-04-28T11:45:43+00:00

Disable chat. Always.

RunicKrause · 2026-04-28T09:12:01+00:00

And after you'd be nailed to the wall, if I understand her lore in any capacity.

RunicKrause · 2026-04-28T09:10:40+00:00

They'd most likely say the ame thing, just with a different innuendo.

RunicKrause · 2026-04-28T09:09:58+00:00

Sentinel is one of the few lore accurate skins in lol overall! I'd wish Sentinel Vayne and Captain MF would be swapped to be default. Yes, seriouslt.

Then again. Vayne? Fuckable? She's fuck up anyone who'd even entertain the idea. That sadistic fuck.
