Decks!
This page contains a combination of both my personal decks, and decks that have done well in the local tournament scene. It is not a comprehensive listing of all the decks that have done well in the local tournament scene, because people are notoriously slack when it comes to giving me their decks lists upon request (YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE!).
...and now, the decks themselves:

Other People's Decks
Clean Hands deck. Anthony's Ventrue deck, that gets the other people at the table to do all the dirty work for you.
My Decks
Flesh For Fantasy. A weenie-ish vic bleed deck. With War Ghouls, of course.
A Beast For You. A deck to put my Abomination in. O:)
Pandermonium! Basically a Pander vote deck. Well, more than basically. On all levels, a Pander vote deck.
Party 'Till Dawn. An all Ventrue-antitribu bleed deck, using titles and title gaining votes.
Presents. Weenie presence tap and bleed deck.
Shadow Seizures. Lasombra "bunker" style passive-aggressive deck.
Zombies in the Temple. A Necromantic Setites deck, with the aim to Haunt your own Grand Temple of Set to make it safe...and if people get past the ghosties, there's always the Shambling Hordes to deal with...and the mummies...
Vozhd. Tzimisce intercept with all the War Ghouls I could find put in it. (Before Sabbat War)
Make Them Pay. A slightly out of date version of my large Ventrue, plus supporting Justicars and Inner Circles, with The First Tradition: Masquerade.
The current pile of cards that used to be this deck is now quite different (the deck linked there was out of date in Feb 2000).
Here is the new, improved (?) Make Them Pay 2001 deck.
Look Ma, No Hand!A good ol' ugly Nosferatu Antitribu hand denial and library destruction deck. get lots of Raptors, block your prey a lot, whittle their deck to nothing, walk on in.
Etrius. Well, I guess the basic concept is obvious. But, additionally, there is the Horrific Countenances by the bucketload, and with Ankara Citadel, they're damn cheap. Combined with Pulse of the Canaille, Govern the Unaligned, Conditioning, etc, and the raw bleed power of this deck is quite scary. Mind you, it's damn fragile...
Etrius II. Essentially the same as above, but trimmed down to 68 cards.
Persistant Little Buggers. Undead Persistance, weenies, you get the idea.....
Current version of this deck is my "Sudden Reversal" deck. I wanted to see how annoying it would be to Sudden Reversal as many masters as you could. This deck was the one least reliant on master cards and thus could afford to be choc-full-o Suddeny Goodness....and, again, for some reason, the deck is not here....
The Betrayer. The only minionless deck I know of. It has undergone many chages over it's life, and I am about to (or have just) change it yet again. But before you suggest, I am _never_ going to implement the use of any minions in the active region with this deck. The would defeat the whole idea of it.....(written Feb 2000)
Ahem...well..the current version uses a lot of Uriah Winters. I guess there's a lesson in this for everyone: Never Say Never.
