Deck of the Month: November 2009: Undead Army

This month's deck is the tournament winning deck "Undead Army" played by Joerg Alten.

As you can see in the previous "Deck of the Month" posts often the chosen deck is a new variation of a well-known deck concept. This month is a no exception, since the "Undead Army" deck is a variation of the well-known Giovanni Shambling Hordes deck archetype, but this time not based on the Giovanni clan, but on the Harbingers of Skull clan and other vampires with the Necromancy and Obfuscate disciplines. The deck also has some nifty unique features, like protecting the "Shambling Hordes" with "Kevlar Vests" or gaining pool with "Insurance Scams" on "Storage Annexes", preferably with an "Shambling Horde" underneath the "Storage Annex" to put into the ash heap.
