Classic: Bloodsucking champions

Summary

If you were lucky or wealthy enough to get a Count Vlad, this was the deck you wanted him for (or some variant on it). It takes the characters with the highest stats in the game and some consistent Gift options and combines them with frenzy and a heavy combat deck. And lots of healing.

The deck wants you to get into combat and smash things. It's a classic double-champion deck.

Deck

Characters

• 1 Allonzo Montoya
• 1 Count Vladimir Rustovitch
• 1 Juicy Johnes

Not belonging to main splats, these two champions can't use a lot of non-Gift cards; but they have lots of good gifts. Whilst Black Spiral Dancers do have good stats, these have better

Sept

• .2 Horns of the Impaler
• 2 Wyrm Hide
• 2 Patagia
• 3 True Fear
• 1 Caern of Rytthiku
• 1 "Kirijama, 'The Hidden Foe'
• 3 Consumption of Gaia
• 2 Subjugation of Gaia
• 2 Eyes of Hate
• 3 Sneak Attack
• 3 Friends in High Places
• 1 Spiral Boomerang
• 1 Mage's Talisman
• 3 Skin of the Hellbound
• 1 Whip of the Wicked

As well as the usual, this deck has extra combat enders (Spiral Boomerang/Patagia), disrupters (Consumption/Subjugation of Gaia) and the mirror-match friendly Skin of the Hellbound. Eyes of Hate and Whip of the Wicked are mean ways to control what your opponent plays and leads to some interesting timing as you try and guess when they will play the first card you would worry about. Horns of the Impaler are not critical, just give you a little resilience.

Combat

• 1 Surprise Ally
• 2 Frenzy
• 1 Taking the Death Blow
• 1 Umbral Escape
• 1 Run Like Hell
• 2 Mangle
• 2 Entrail Rend
• 2 Vital Blow
• 2 Dry Gulch
• 1 Disarm
• 2 Feint
• 2 Dodge
• 1 Evasion

This is a very damage-heavy combat deck. You have the expected combat events. Run Like Hell is an emergency release. Whilst timing of when you play evasion/escape/damage is critical, that's about as subtle as the combat deck.

The one thing that's different is the Surprise Ally, to give you double the firepower. Remember you can always play it just to draw a card (when attacking), without bringing in a packmate.

Substitutions

You could choose to swap in combat actions that your champions can play before they flip to crinos. Otherwise, there aren't any immediate swaps I would think about.
