Hey there,
Not sure if you ever have any plans of revisiting the deck archetypes. I started playing VTES about a year ago, and this section of your blog is incredibly helpful to me. It’s just such a great resource. I’d love to see some updates on other archetypes (Tzimisce Wall, Ashur-Liquid, etc).

Short answer: Yes, but no ETA.
Long answer: I have lately started to work on the blog at bit more than in the past two year, and one the pages I have taken a look at actually was the Deck Archetype page. Also I have had already started on a couple of updates of these posts quite a while ago, but due to my waning interest in VTES didn’t finish them. I plan to update them in the future, but I can’t give you an exact deadline I intend to hold .. it may take a while.
