What? You'd've memorized all the cards in every deck list Orian had been
associated with, and then been able to pick out the exact one (and be assured
that he had not made any card substitutions since you saw the deck list) from
your memory banks upon seeing a handful of cards he plays out of his deck to

Seems I did :) But yes, keeping your decklist secret from the general
public is a good thing.
It's not a matter of the concept of the deck, or well it is if it's a
completely new tech. It's mostly about the actual decklist. If I had
seen Orian's decklist for this deck in the past and then see him play

Yes, everyone kept telling me, that doesn't win...
The main diference is that the deck was concieved as idea when
Dramatic Upheaval wasn't banned, so the deck would be slightly
diferent and would lock down other players with brainwash and pentex.
But then again, not all players have enough experience and vision as

On the one hand I agree that Covincraft is OK vote defence, and the
Kyasid probably don't need any specific vote defence card because of
the options available are sufficient. You can take a risk and rely
only on Covincraft (which also works if you just get bled), or you

Unless you think that all of Stephanie Meyer's vampires have 10 dots
in Bardo, then no, I don't see the similarities. I don't see any
connection with the Cullens and the Toreador clan, either, unless
they're a Toreador bloodline with high levels of Potence instead of

I work with a film festival every year, and we always have a set of
proofs from the printer for each item that gets printed. Several
people look at the proofs. This is basic project management. Of
course, errors still occur.
I would have to think that White Wolf might share some of the blame,
since they should have requested proof sheets and had a chance to

Underworld was a different issue, the story was extremely similar to a
previously published novel by WW. They swapped the genders of the two
main characters, but that was about it.

I think you misunderstood my point. He apparently kept the deck hidden
from the TWDA (and world?) for a year or so, only waiting till now
(after the EC?) to "release" it. As if doing so would somehow keep the
hidden tech advantage or something.
How does that help? What is to say that deck is ever going to be

And also because, on his case, he is a high level player with lots of
exposure. He (and his piers) know who the top players are and how to
prepare. Funny thing is... the small surprises vtes brings once and a
while.
I would keep my deck a secret too.

Probably because he wants his tournament win recorded for the twda and
hall of fame. Why wouldn't he want that. I for one would have liked
the Danes (Nikolai) to have reported my Danish ECQ winner many years
ago. Would have been in the hall of fame if they did. Would have been
good ego times.
Yes, keeping your deck concept a secret helps. Atleast from people

I don't get why there are so many problems with printing let alone
editing. I look at several other card games and they have very few
problems. Any game I play I expect quality. One would think such a
major company and order would have a set of proofs prior to full scale
printing.

Of course your hypothesis is correct, and a coin flip sucks, sure.

Why do you need to "release" this? Were you guarding the deck design
in some attempt to keep it secret or something? Does that actually
help?
People have been playing versions of this kind of deck for 15 years.
