Weenie Potence & Protean Combat Deck

Here's a little combat deck I came up with. Nothing fancy, but I'm open to any suggestions about how to give it some more ousting power.

Nails is the star at a mighty capacity of 5. My intention was to block and rush to use the fun combat cards until the combat-themed Masters (Fame & Path of Lilith) and Camera phones come into play at which point I can hopefully just bruise & bleed. I'm not sure if the Masters and Camera phones will do enough pool damage to oust though. Any ideas? Thanks!

Add some variety to your rushes. Now keeping untapped effectively would save star vampires from getting torpored.

Also, you would need something against Secure Haven, so adding one yourself and contesting it if needed would be a default.

I would think about removing your block module altogether. Or at least ditching Forced Awakening for something else doing the same job. In theory, you could get up to 4 intercept, but to do that you must rely on finding that single Abbot, 1 of 2 GAs and still jam yor hand with those +1 intercept (just 3x2 of them in total, discarding could be costly) cards AND wakes. Wouldn't you rather just rush?

Blood's going to be a problem. Add some Tastes or Life in the City. Ousting, too, will be tricky; a little Leverage could help.

I believe theres one more !gangrel for your crypt(bill butler?) .

Problems:

Blocking: i dont like it. Using actions better would help alot. Abbot is great. Burning a blood for one intercept sucks. IF yiu wanna block, dont use ears, use eyes of the beast. Whatre they gonna do, block you? Touch of pain is more worth the blood for this deck than ears, but if you block, you need blood.

Combat: add tastes. Flesh of mable wont save you from other aggpoke, add 2 adaptability. Signpost is kinda high, id cut back for another grapple. If you have tons of blood issues, maybe disarm instead of so many claws.

Again, mix up rush actions. Harass rumble, etc. On the q is bwtter for you than fa.

If you toolbox up more, retainers, lokis gift, horseshoes. As is, those are so-so for you.

Good luck.

I'll have to see how the blocking works out. My idea was that by having a bunch of wakes and some intercept that I could use the Rushes to go after my prey instead of having to go backwards to deal with my Predator. So, by having the wakes and intercept, I'm hoping I can spend more actions going forward.

And I think I will have to make a few changes to help with blood. I think too many of the cards I'm using require blood that my weenies won't have enough of.
Thanks for all the input folks.

Here's the new version:

I would switch out one copy of Fergus Alexander for a copy of Bill Butler 3 cap sabbat grp 4 with pot and pro. Bill can use Abbot, Fergus cant and the more minons you have out the more you can rush/ bleed. Also you should have dragonbound and tension in the ranks to assist with ousting power.
