Another interesting thing to observe this month (and the last month) is the increase of

This is a really cool deck! Including Allonzo and Neferu is a nice touch.
With all my respects to the player,I don´t think this deck reserves to be deck of the month.
First the deck doesn´t involve new tech. It´s a stealth-vote&bleed like any other and has
Second deck size and card selection are "good"; but not "awesome". It can be improved.
Therefore if the deck doesn´t bring nothing new or is topclass made deck, why should be included on the list?
IMHO from the other choices, guruhi breed&boon for the originality and anger management for sound and solid deck construction could have been selected.
I agree with Anonymous. I think this deck is totally unimaginative and boring. Definitely way to dull to be deck of the month. No offence toward the player.
I stand by my choice .. I know it's not a new decktype, but I hadn't this type of deck as "Deck of the month in the past three years. And I think the decktype (Tremere/Tremere antitribu Vote (without Presence)) is very strong and deserves some recognition.
I was considering other decks as well. Already mentioned was the Guruhi Breed & Boon deck (and it was a close second), but I am still not convinced that the deck is actually that good. And speaking of sub-par cards, it contains multiple copies of Excellent Thirst and Earthfeeder .. But maybe I have to play the deck myself.
The other deck I was considering is the Dual Form/Golconda/Soul Gem deck posted by Robert Scythe in the newsgroup. That was a really cool/new concept .. but it has to prove it tournament worthiness. This one I will definitely try by myself soon.
This deck of TWDA list is the same concept and is better constructed.

Test both decks in Holland!
The deck of the month wins.
Why?
80 cards, 7 Villein, 9 Deflection
VS.
90 cards, 3 (!) Villein, 7 Deflection
Maybe my point is: whether the deck is constructed well depends a great deal on the metagame..
So, let me get this straight.
Here is a crypt in which every single vampire has thaumaturgy and it's not being used!? It's a Dominate/Obfuscate deck (I've never seen this combo work before) with three auspex cards thrown in, one of which is another bounce, and the 2 vampires that Brandon thought were a "cool touch" don't even have it. Why not just Lutz and Rafael to help keep vote-lock and bigger permanent bleed?
Oh, I guess there were 3 Mirror Walks that I didn't see, but that's just more stealth that can be done with Obfuscate
What, no love for the Faerie Guardian just because I got some vamps with presence? Ah, shucks. But I broke in my eighth card to the TWDA (Faerie Wards)! Oh, well, Dennis's Giocanda deck timed out in the first round and got 4vp's in the second and came in at second seed for the final. I know that's not true proof but the deck can get shit done, requires some skills to play, though. Good luck if you try it out.
Dear Robert,
your deck is not posted on TWDA yet.
I think it undoubtely deserves to be nominated as deck of month.
Yeah, Jeff (The Lasombra) isn't due back home (in America, I think he's overseas or somewhere) until the 8th of this month and I don't expect him to update the TWDA until then. Notice how none of the properly posted TWD's have been entered for about 3 weeks. It'll get there, but Secret Library has been kept up to date and it shows my newest broken in TWDA card!
