Chris' Keepers of Tradition Brujah draft deck

Hi,

Here is my deck from the Keepers of Tradition tournament. I drew the Brujah and stuck with them. I glanced at all of the deck lists and they all seemed pretty solid. If I had taken a closer or more complete look at those lists, though, I may have noticed the glaring flaw the Brujah starter had: there is very little bleed power. To use the "payload + delivery mechanism" metaphor, this deck was a ICBM built to deliver a firecracker warhead. I was not impressed with that, so I tried to go out of my way during the drafting of packs to remedy that.

I also felt it beneficial to tone-down the crypt a bit. There were too many high-capacity minions in there for my taste, since draft games sometimes come down to sheer numbers. I was determinted not to get stuck with one or two minions in any game (at least, not for lack of trying).

I also noticed a surprising amount of stealth, considering the clan and their disciplines. I tried to retain that, and I think that would have gone very well had I been able to draft more "payload," so to speak.

Then, of course, I drafted (or at least tried) things that are typical of any draft deck: wakes or substitutes thereof (Special Report, Sforzesco Castle, etc.) and permanent intercept. I was unable to draft any intercept except for the single KRCG that came with the precon, and I am certain the lack of defense in the deck is the reason I was ousted before at least one VP in at least one game. It was simply not enough and I got nothing that could remedy that.
