Concept: tha/ser/nec
Practicality: Vaguely
Tested: yup!
Shock value: Definite. Patrizia...useful?
Comments: It's essentially a Corruption deck crossed with a Cryptic Mission deck, but with
a few twists. For best results, everybody should be a Follower of Set as much as possible
(via Impersonations), with the possible exception of Patrizia, who can employ Charnas from
the ash heap if she's a Tremere. Yes, Patrizia is actually useful in this deck. Decent
pool gain and Embraces, plus theft of minions should allow you lots of actions per turn.
I had 9 minions at the end of the last game I played this in. Hand jam may be a problem,
so don't be afraid to discard, use Dreams, etc.
