100 Demons

This is the deck I used in the Comrades in Arms (23+ cards share a designator) tournament for Gen Con. It is also a 100 Names deck (no two cards with the same title). A bit of a fun experiment for me to combine two formats into one deck. This also happens to comply with my play list for Lotus, which further decreased the card pool. Obviously I still have some subpar cards in the deck (e.g. The Demon Within) that need to be upgraded.

Foundation (13)
Big Brother Tsien
Bloody Horde
Demon Whiskey
Earth Poisoner
Eunuch Underling
Palace Guards
Petal's Attendant
Shadowy Horror
Shamanistic Punk
Sinister Priest
Thugs
Vassals of the Lotus
Wailing Apparition

Characters (16)
Ang Dao the Corrupt
Cloaca
Eater of Fortune
Flesh Eater
Gnarled Horror
Huichen Kan
Reverend Zeb. Paine
Sewer Demon
Shu Kan
The Hand of the Underworld
Two Hundred Knives of Pain
Underworld Tracker
Demon Emperor
Desolation
Midnight
Sheriff Agathon

Additional/Alt Power (4)
Cannibal's Banquet
Evil Whispers
Pocket Demon
Insidious Plan

Events (7)
Infernal Pact
Demonic Plague
Die!!!
Farseeing Rice Grains
Flying Sleeves
Lateral Reincarnation
Tortured Memories

States (6)
Haunted
Improvised Weapons
Inexorable Corruption
Pump Action Shotgun
The Demon Within
Two-Headed Horror

Edges (2)
Demonic Alliance
Box of Bones

Sites (3)
Infernal Temple
Alchemist's Lair
The Dragon Throne

FSS (13)
Bird Sanctuary
Cave Network
City Park
Disco
Festival Circle
Forgotten Temple
Gambling House
Hydroponic Garden
Nine Dragon Temple
Proving Ground
Rainforest Ruins
Turtle Beach
Waterfall Sanctuary

One of the real limitations to combining the formats is that to get to 23 unique demon cards a large number of characters are needed. This really limits the the number of Events and States that can go into the deck. This is further pronounced by the limitation of the number of foundation which works to limit the overall size of the deck.

Overall a fun deck that I will probably continue to tinker with.
