"Rutor's Followers"
Winner of Days of the Dead, 2002 Sydney Qualifier, 18th August 2002.
13 entrants.
By Chris Arthur
Some bleed, some bloat and plenty of stealth. If things are going well
summon Qufur or Samat and Rutor them. If not, summon Hesha, load up
with blood dolls, the razor and a secure haven and survive until
things get better.
Amam and Jake are great to throw in front of rush combat. Plus it's ok
if a few vamps go to torpor because you can bring them out easily with
humanitas and catacombs. Nice if you can get either on a secured vamp
early.
Bloat is pretty much the only defence against votes and bleed but with
a small library the deck moves quickly and you can be gaining 3-4 pool
a turn before other players become threatening.
