Team Pentex

Concept: Pentex, the evil Mega-Corporation in Werewolf: The Apocalypse, is noted for having ties to everything and everyone, and using them as Pawns in its greater chess game for power. Team Pentex is a Wyrm Deck inspired by the belief that life is cheap, and people and allies are merely pawns to be used.

Deck Strategy: The strategy for this deck centers around the concept of Attrition. It is a fact that the biggest problem with Pentex characters is that its pack members do not regenerate. So you must even the odds, by taking away the regenerational ability of its opponents through aggravated damage (and by other means like the Pentex Refinery and by putting out so many allies that they can fight for a round, get some damage on the opposing Garou, and then pull out. Your allies are used like kleenex. Once they get a little messed up, pull them out, and basically sit around the rest of the game. Don't let them get killed, its just Victory Renown for your opponent. Sure they'll be damaged, and can't heal, but that's okay since you planned and never using them again really, while you opponent's limited pack grows weaker and weaker, and then gets smaller and smaller.
