Beginner Decks: Gangrel

I never really like the theme of the Gangrels. Feral, animal loving vampires that prefer the country-side than the cities? This felt out of place with Camarilla political scheming and the modern nights. Anyways, I decided to build one just to see how it would function; plus it would be a natural fit for some people; Grace did indicate her interest.

This deck is built around the rushing capabilities of the vampires and their Garou allies; Fame the appropriate vampire and knock it into torpor. Rescue it, rinse and repeat. Claws of the Dead/Wolf Claws for aggra-poke and FOR to avoid damage. Quick Meld and Canine Horde to overcome guns. Some ANI/PRO intercept if rushing is not available.


I was deciding between KoT vampires with in-built rush (Talbot, Shiloh Marie) or G1 vampires with better disc. spread. I chose the KoT ones partly because they are better looking artwork-wise. Yes seriously.
