Comments: For some reason I am not a big combat fan. It might be because I lacked the Disarms and Torn Signposts for it or maybe because at the time all I played was Toreador politics, but either way I shunned it for a while. But then through blind luck I was able to get two Lasombra Precons. Since the Lasombra is my Clan I wanted to do something different than the normal Stealth/Bleed; also getting extra Vampires help with that too. The deck I comprised is loosely based off of Political Struggle. The concept is beat down, with Political Struggle, or Banish the Vampires with the votes. Thus you have no opposition when you call your political cards. In case you are in a dreaded political game, and there are too many Princes/Archbishops to beat down, then you can easily go Stealth/Bleed. A lot of the Crypt have built in +1 bleeds and there are enough Governs in the deck to help bleed too; although they are mainly used at superior. Once you have the Vote lock start KRCing away at your preys.
