Deck of the Month: March 2009: Guillaume Powerbleed

This month's deck is the tournament winning deck "Guillaume Powerbleed" played by Tomasz Pietkiewicz. This month's competition was tough with Erik Torstensen's Malkavian Petra Resonance deck and Will Kristoff's Four Skills of Fury deck.

As Tomasz has noted this deck is a slight variation of Erik Torstensen's version. The deck is basically a powerbleed deck, whose minions can bleed for 6 pool damage per turn ("Govern the Unaligned" plus "Conditioning"). For lunging the deck can build the "perfect" hand with the help "Guillaume Giovanni's" special ability and a number of "Storage Annexes".

Tomasz Pietkiewicz's Tournament Winning Deck

Deck Name: Guillaume Powerbleed
Description: This is a modified version of a deck designed by Erik Torstensson. Martinelli's Ring was a metagame choice (it appeared I predicted the metagame correctly, but the Ring was of no use during the tournament).
