Immense Size: Boston Tournament Report

Here's a report for the ironically-named "Immense Size: Boston"
tournament we had on Saturday.
9 people came, including two newcomers to Boston from Amherst, Jesse
and Dave.  It was Dave's first tournament.

Congratulations to Scott Gomes for winning the tournament with a very
impressive 1 game win and 4 vps. :)

Here is Scott's decklist and comments:

Deck Name:   My black hand is dirty
Created By:  Scott Gomes
Description: The deck concept is to pummel your predator's vampires
into the ground with fame and Tension (duh). 
 
Getting Yazid out is also key, even though he is huge for a cel gun
deck, the +1 bleed really helps in forward pressure.  I chose to play
BH vampires for the purpose of Ministry.  Playing 1 card for 2-3
intercept really kept my predators at bay.  Another reason for BH
vamps was I wanted to use non-group 1 or 2 vampires for some variety,
most of the good superior cel vamps in group 3 and 4 are BH so it all
came together.  In the preliminaries I had the worst time getting
masters, especially blood dolls.  Getting a Barrens or Specialization
during the middle to end game is a must to get the extra concealed
weapons and 44's out of my hand.
