Hi all!
Today we will bring you the winning decks from the Conclave tournament in Palma de Mallorca 2018.
It was a very interesting and hard-fought finale, with very different decks and quite a few votes on the table.
First of all, it was Moisés, winner of the tournament (with 2VP and entering first to the final), with a Palla grande deck with some Auspex to deflect.
Secondly it was Jorge (2VP), with a Tzimische deck, based on Sha-Ennu and Xipe Totec, tending to be a tool box with some politics.
Then we have German (1VP) with a Lutz & Maris Streck political deck con Obedience and Mental Maze, you can see a more accurate analysis by the creator here.
And finally Alberto with a Tzimische wall deck and Pablo with a Theo bell & The Beast.
Without more delay here are the lists.

We also have an analysis of that deck by the author.
It’s a very aggressive deck based on celerity and Potence. It needs to take Theo Bell or The Beast out in its place to work well.
Visit as soon as you can to control population on prey and predator, play as many combat cards as you can to cycle the hand and always have what it’s best for every situation. If you can visit before they play the Villein or Minion Tap on the vampire even better, doing it we will prevent them from recovering pool and we will be able to win more blood.
We don’t have to leave any dangerous predating vampires alive.
The deck kills with tension in the ranks and Fame.
The benefits of the deck is that is very destructive against decks with Combat Ends, it works well against decks that don’t do much Bloat (winning blood) and against blockers.
Its weakness are that it doesn’t have much defence against politics or bleeders. It’s quite vulnerable in table with lots of deflections because it tends to be the sink hole. It has some difficulties against decks with fortitude and that prevent strikes and doesn’t make friends easily at the table, but you can always sell some visit.
Thanks a lot to José Maria, Prince of Palma, for provide us with the lists.
