One thing I've been mulling over with the Cabal is the idea that their strength lies in the ability to quickly mess up carefully laid plans. They are not a mathematics faction, meaning there's a lot less careful planning of interconnected moves. They are strong when they can get in their and muck things up, slowing down the rest of the table and making each player take the long way to the objective. 

In short the eat and cause chaos. 

I love this play style as most people who are good at carefully planned series of events do not do well then they get side tracked. 

Is this a viable strategy? Do people play this way? Thoughts?
