ViroIshtarri

Hi, this is my first attempt with Deck Clinic and exporting the decklist from ARDB.
This deck was inspired a few moments ago when I came across the card Virolax Facility and its utilisation with Lasombra, Kiasyd and Soul Gem of Etrius. I came to the conclusion, that this could also work for fortitude and I have never built an Ishtarri deck before. So here we go

Crypt [13 vampires] Capacity min: 4 max: 9 average: 6.46154
3x Jibade el-Bahrawi (9) Ishtarri (group 4)
2x Undele (9) magaji Ishtarri (group 5)
2x Fahd al-Zawba'a (4) Toreador (group 4)
2x Kenyatta (4) Ishtarri (group 4)
1x Ubende (7) magaji Ishtarri (group 4)
1x Honorine Ateba (6) Ishtarri (group 4)

This is the first design of the idea, and we all know, that a deck development is never finished. Thank you for your opinions.

Hi!
Please answer these questions from how to get best results from deck clinic post sticky:

How do you intend to oust?
How do you intend to keep from being ousted?
What do you want your ready region to look like (ie, how many guys are you planning on getting out)?
What do you want your average turn to look like?
What's your metagame like? How do your opponents play?
What problems have you observed with the deck in play?

They will help us understand what are you trying to achive here.
One additional question. Why 13 crypt cards?

Why Bambas? I love giving them Fortitude skill card, a stick and Undead Persistence with occasional trap to scare offenders. Also Familial Bond >> Steadfastness if you need it for intercept.

I think this is a cool deck. Did you consider some of the cool retainers that are available, like Duma Rafiki or Shaman? They are nice and cheap with Jibade's special.
I tried building a deck with the Soul Gem and Akunanse, using multipe copies of "Akunanse Remains" to boost the acting vampire's capacity. It was a troubled turbo deck, but fun. Do you think that style of Soul Gem deck would also work with Virolax?

Glutton is good.

Also despiral,,sometimes.

You run 3x Jibade, add some summoning, and Ossian. Not saying go all out and include hellhounds and sun pharoah, but at least ossian with what you have, maybe an unmasking to compensate for meh defense.

Glutton is awesome.
Listen to the Reverend.
