q Juliet's Dream
Highlights
This is a vote deck on a group 6 and 7 Camarilla crypt where every vampire wears a title — six Princes and two Justicars. It is built around Juliet Parr q as the star, with Modius t riding shotgun. The plan is unsubtle: seat two or three titled elders and start calling referendums the table cannot answer.
The two stars share a loop. Every referendum Juliet Parr q passes buys the deck extra hand size until its next unlock, so it keeps drawing toward the next vote or the next answer; Modius t then turns the overflow into votes, pitching a spare master during the polling step for an extra vote. A crypt this titled already votes heavily on its own, and Alexander Silverson q makes the opposition burn blood for the privilege of voting against him.
The crypt is expensive — mostly capacity 8 and 9 — so the deck fronts it with Zillah's Valley, pouring blood onto the uncontrolled elders to bring them out ahead of schedule, then claws that blood back with Villein. The Parthenon and Rumors of Gehenna buy extra master actions to lay the rest of the engine down, and Papillon, Dreams of the Sphinx and a one-shot Giant's Blood keep the reserves full — a deep bloat engine that both funds the elders and cushions incoming damage.
Ousting is all referendum. Parity Shift is the workhorse, siphoning the wealthiest Methuselah and dropping that pool wherever it stings most; Kine Resources Contested and Camarilla's Iron Fist add flat pool burn; Anarchist Uprising and Ancilla Empowerment tax a wide board. Banishment clears a problem minion for tempo, and Political Stranglehold cashes the crypt's own bulk of high-capacity elders into a pool swing.
None of it matters if the calls get blocked, so the deck buries its political actions in Obfuscate stealth: Forgotten Labyrinth and Lost in Crowds stack past any lone blocker, with Camarilla Conclave and Monastery of Shadows chipping in more. Its defense runs on Auspex — Eyes of Argus and Second Tradition: Domain wall up intercept, and Telepathic Misdirection at superior answers a bleed with a bounce. Archon Investigation and Direct Intervention sit in reserve as out-of-turn insurance — the first for a lethal bleed, the second to cancel a play the deck cannot let resolve.
Tips & Tricks
Parity Shift only fires against a richer prey, so the deck is happy to run lean — pouring pool into the crypt rather than sitting on it — and lets the engine refill only as far as staying under the prey allows. From there, chained referendums walk the prey down while the flat burn finishes the job.
The oversized master base is not dead weight: it is Modius t's ammunition and diluted through Ashur Tablets' recursion. Late-game masters that would otherwise clog the hand become votes in his hands, or get filtered to the bottom by Heart of Nizchetus, while three Ashur Tablets cash in for the missing piece.
Because the reactions run on Auspex , one unlocked elder can both bounce a bleed and intercept a threat, and Eyes of Argus at superior or Second Tradition: Domain wakes a locked one to block anyway — cover the deck lacks while tapped out calling votes. Warmaksan n is the lone vampire without Auspex , best spent as a vote and a body rather than a blocker, while Kasim Bayar n can ditch a spare vote for the muscle to survive a rush.
Variants
What sets this list apart is the pairing with Modius t and the pivot away from Dominate : no Govern the Unaligned, no Deflection, with Zillah's Valley and an Auspex defense standing in their place.
The classic branch keeps Dominate front and centre — Govern the Unaligned to grow the minions and lunge, Deflection to bounce, Obedience to shrug off rushes. It took two national-level finals in 2026: a near-pure Govern build at the Portuguese NC and a Cavalier-equipped take at the Polish Grand Prix, both leaning on the Dominate bounce where this list leans on Auspex .
The oldest and most storied version is Malkarishat, Danilo Torrisi's run out of a 75-player field, which splices Arishat E into the crypt. Where Modius t manufactures votes from spare masters, Arishat E suppresses them — burning blood to force a chosen vampire to abstain and muscling a referendum through against a vote deficit. Her Baali E independence costs the deck a bit, but the abstain lock is a scalpel the all-titled build cannot copy.
