The choice the deck of the month in November 2008 is a good old acquaintance, a variant of the
Nosferatu Royalty deck archetype. The deck named "
Nosfe-Rat-Tools" was played by
Iñaki Jimenez during the Spanish Championship, and eventually won the tournament. What I admire in this deck is the radicial downsizing to 60 cards. All cards have the goals of the deck in mind, move additional vampires from the uncontrolled to the ready region, and damaging it's prey by political actions. Also the defense package with a considerable number of "
Second Tradition: Domain" and a handful of
Animalism combat cards is solid. The only two cards I find questionable in the deck are the "
Tempation of Greater Power" and the "
Archon Investigation", which could be replaced by a "
Direct Intervention" and/or an additional "
Kine Resource Contested".

Temptation of Greater Power is a great enabler for Parity Shift so imho it is very solid card choice. Archon is always good. I would leave those cards be :)
I saw the final.
The "Archon Investigation" was a key card for the head's up (!Ventrue bleed for 6 with daring.) ;)
