Guedado Ghoul
Peter D Bakija
So I totally bit the basis of this deck of Adam Hulse, who won a
tournament with a kind of similar deck, but I added the clever Imbued
angle to make it extra ousty, and am just posting it here 'cause I am so
very entertained by this deck. I played it twice tonight and won both
games, although I certainly had advantageous seating both times.

So clearly, get out an ally or retainer, get out a War Ghoul with extra
stealth, have the +1 bleed Imbued bleed either for 3 through a hole or
for 2 at stealth (Well, Beatrice at least) while the War Ghoul makes
that hole. If one of the Imbued end up uncapacitated, I'm thinking that
you can burn them to make a War Ghoul, as War Ghoul does not specify
"ready" ally or retainer (although my recent history on being up to date
with all necessary rulings is spotty, at best).
I'm a little sketchy on the Root of Vitality, but at least it fits in
the deck--they should probably be extra Vagabond Mysitcs. The Boxed Ins
could be Traps or Fake Outs or something, but I figure the generic press
is better for general deck use--the Ghouls can press to continue killing
someone in an optimal situation, and everyone else can use them to press
to end in a sub-optimal situation.
Probably gets killed by sitting next to a very fighty deck, but against
low combat, it seems to do pretty well.
If I draw both Imbued, I'll get out Beatrice and use her till she is
either burned or I am in oust range, and then get out Jen. Yeah,
Beatrice will stab her in the face till she is uncapacitated, but then,
well, Jen turns into a War Ghoul anyway...
The deck could be bigger if, ya know, I had more War Ghouls.
