EC 2017 Day 1 Results (with decks)

Similar to the previous post these are the final standings of the EC 2017 Day 1 tournament with the respective decks being played. The tournament was played on May 13th, 2017 in Berlin, Germany.

As you can see there are many aggressive decks to be found .. a lot of bleed decks in all variations from Malkavian/!Malkavian Kindred Spirit Bleed to Giovanni Powerbleed, but also quite a few combat decks (Weenie Animalism with or w/o Nana), and other typical archetypes like Inner Circle Vote/Bleed or Carna Aus/Tha wall. But in the list you can also find some off-track decks like Myrna Goldman Combat Toolbox, Alabastrom Anarch Breed&Bleed or Big Cap Vic/Obf/Dem Toolbox.

I hope I can transscribe some of the more interesting decks, upload them to Secret Library and link then here in the next few days.

EC 2017 Day 2 Results (with decks)

A tiny bit late, I have rummaged through the decklists of the VTES EC 2017 (in Berlin), and have assembled the final standings of the Day 2 tournament with the respective decks being played. This should give players an impression what type of decks are played during this type of tournament. Typically you’ll see slower, more controlling decktypes than in EC Day 1 tournament, where a lot of players are “only” keen on making the cut (which was typically in the range of 1 GW 3 VP to 1 GW 4 VP) to advance to Day 2.
Unfortunately the list is incomplete .. there are some decklists without any name on it on, and some decklists may have been lost. If you actually happen to know what the missing decks are, please let me know in the comments.
