This deck,even tho it looks like standard spirimarionette hijacker,is in fact stealth & bleed deck that usepeople's fear of marionette+heidelberg castle to make them tathus shutting down block/bleed redirection defense of prey (alsit stops predator from blocking undirected actions easely).

Paying 3 pool in order to have a team of Salubris is not so basince their texts generate way more pool then that,and AUsmallcaps make good and cheap support/defense. The dreadeGerman castle is of course used to strip marionetted vampireoff their blood,but since most of the time people will be tappeits main use is to make lunge attacks with bleed retainers.

In retrospect i would add some 5-10 cards since this deck burnalot of cards each turn, which resulted in me being decked ou3 out of 4 rounds i played.I had 2GWs/8VP pre-finals, 2GWs/10VP total.
