DECK NAME:	Barbed Wire Project – Tremere (Revised 08/15/05)
CREATOR:	Preston Poulter
LEVEL:	Barbed Wire Project
DECK ARCHETYPE:	Toolbox
HISTORY:	n/a
NOTES:	The Barbed Wire Project (BWP) When barbed wire was first introduced to the west, one of the sales pitches was, "Cheap as dirt and strong as whiskey." The idea behind the BWP is to create a series of decks that are as cheap as dirt (using commons and uncommons) but strong enough to hold up to a table with more expensive decks, in order for new players to use. Sure, starter decks are great, but they not free (usually), and for new players who are reserved about spending money or have little cash, this could be a nice way to get them more interested in the game. Submit your deck ideas for the barbed wire project in the Deck Archive and title the subject with Barbed Wire Project (or BWP). Errata Notes: Blood Rage is a Thaumaturgy strike, not a Fortitude strike. Both Blood Rage and Blood Fury are now hand strikes that do additional damage if the minion has additional strength. Drain Essence nows costs 1 blood instead of 2. Strategy Notes: The goal of this deck is to bleed your prey and, if they block, to burn the blocker- not just torpor them. Burning a vampire requires you to deliver 2 points of aggravated damage (via Walk of Flames) to a vampire who does not have any blood at all. Typically the best way to do this is via Trap, which will force combat to continue round after round and then to use Theft of Vitae or Drain Essence to remove all the blood from the opposing vampire, and then next round use Walk of Flames to burn the opposing minion.
