The Outsiders

Concept: The Outsiders is an essence a Moot Deck, although it does so in a backwards way. Placing someone like Grimfang or Pearl River in a Moot Deck, though obviously advantageous in a first round of Moot Voting, also has its problems in that the characters once placed on the table have large target signs on them saying "Kill me before I moot your pack away." This deck is designed so that an opponent won't realize what direction your pack's attack is coming from until its too late.

Deck Strategy: The strategy for this deck is based around taking hold of the Moot advantage through both Moot direct cards, such as Elder Stones, and Renown related gifts and cards that remove a character's ability to vote (such as the Combat Actions Curb Stomp or Mangle, or the fetish Sand of Sleep, as well as by forcing his characters to attack Enemies and Skindancer Pack Members which he can't defeat, and since obviously, dead characters can't vote this gives an edge as well. This tactic involves the use of the gift Geas, and the fetish Bones of Shakir Hind.
