Storyline!

Well, the storyline's come and gone, and the Setites reign supreme in San Juan.

My Gangrel deck went clunky on me, and I couldn't do much damage, to my dismay. Both rounds saw me ousted, without any VPs. Ah, well. C'est la vie.

Karl, who had used an interesting Pander deck to get the finals, chose to use the Nergal deck. And he proceeded to bash Tatel's Ventrue bloat deck for his first target. All this with Tatel telling him, "Karl, let me remind you that I'm not your only prey." No dice. I'm pretty certain Karl was aware of Tatel's style of play, and didn't give him any breathing room to maneuver or bloat.

However, winning the table was not to be for Karl and Nergal. The rest of the players, aware of the threat the Nergal deck was, set aside their differences, and ganged up on it. Tammy's Gangrels delivered the killing blow, and, weakened by the effort, was ousted by Danio's Setites for the clan win.

Even if I didn't get to play in the finals, it was still a good day for me. I got to make a number of trades, and swelled my collection and my needs.
