My current decks (in no particular order):
1: Ventrue princes with sticks (Classic Hugh style)
2: Kiasyd/Lasombra sb (A bit more Nocturns than in my Nationals TWD)
3: Gerald Windham sb (Get Ankara and Govern down, Freak Drive, people get ousted)
4: !Tremere and friends anarchs Diversion with Nephaduses (Didn´t work at all)
5: Gangrel Mictlantecuhtli+Talbots chainsaw with ANI-weenies (Crater-deck = sucks)
6: Brujah Appolonius multi-bleed combat toolbox (Fun!)
7: Nosferatu G4-5 vote (see below)

My thoughts after playing it three times:
- I tried to build a Nosferatu vote deck that´s not the usual Legendary Selma+Parity Shifts nor some kind of breed-boon. I understand it´s not tier 1.
- I wanted to try out Animal Magnetism and Old Friends, two cards I don´t think I´ve played with before. They´re kind of nice, but strangly underpowered compared to Bewitching Oration, Iron Glare and Scalpel Tounge. There is no need for this - Presence is the number 1 vote-discipline anyway, because of broken Voter Captivation.
- Alonsos special is kind of fun now when anarchs are popular in our meta. As is Judgment: Camarilla Segregation.
- Of course the deck works best with Warsaw Station in play. Maybe I need one more? Hard to find place though.
- Metro Underground should be in the deck, for Enkil Cog double-bleed to work.
- It´s sad to see how bad non-Presence vote decks are.
- A bit too many masters. Will try to slim away a couple.
- I´ll might need some more discard/hand manipulation tech to get rid of late arriving crypt acceleration, superfluous Villeins, etc. Decks with Unmada, Ulugh Begh and Thurmicia have this "for free".
- Judgment: Camarilla Segregation hits wildly cross-table sometimes. Of course that sucks, but on the other hand it hits perfect sometimes, removing lots of pool from the right places.
- Benjamin Rose is crappy, but also somewhat interesting. I´ll might try a deck based on him soon, me being the sado-masochist that I am :)
Some other ideas I´ve pondered recently:
- Valerius Maior + Gear Up?
- I won the Gothcon draft. We need to draft more! :)
- I failed to reach the finals at the ECQ. Time for new ideas.
- Great that the VEKN site is looking better again. Thanks Damnans and whoever helped him!
- I am selling some cards. Check out the list here. I can also trade if you have anything I need.
- What do White Wolf Publishing have in mind for the future of VTES? The VEKN surveys has been completed and the results has been delivered. Something might happen soon. I will sum up my own ideas and wishful thinking in a separate post.
If anyone have any answers to the questions above, feel free to comment below, or at it´s VEKN forum-thread, or by mail to vtes@msghsfhi.com. Thanks!
