Under the Reigns of Dracula

First version of the deck had Regents but it comes out that you can't play it on Dracula. This version has kduva mask instead, less masters and some other small tweaks.

Political toolbox with Vlad Tepes as a main star. He votes, blocks, bleeds and fights. It's probably to much but can't decide which parts are the weakest and could be dropped to make it more streamlined. What is your opinion?

Vlad is independent, I don't think you can play regent on him ???

Well, I guess you can:

"Independent: Vlad can play and use cards requiring a title or a sect if he had that title or were of that sect. +1 bleed."

But will be to no use, since it'll become dormant.

Edit: And again Ankha beat me to it. =P

Yes, Regent is out for the reasons stated above. If you treat Vlad like Mata Hari, then how about using Strange Day? Are there other sect or title based cards you could exploit? No Secrets?

It is hard to have Vlad vote as the star without a title, presence, or even AUS for Telepathic Vote Counting. Maybe more of a toolbox is in order.

hmm, it's not fully clear for me it he can become regent or not. If not than political aspect of this deck should be dropped. I will ask in rules subforum just to be sure.

Are there other sect or title based cards you could exploit? No Secrets?

I was thinking about no secrets but it doesn't allow you to play obedience so I choose under siege instead.
Vlad could Rise to become Nephtali but that requires more gehenna cards.

The best things you can do with Vlad Tepes are:

-Chameleon + Mind Rape deck with Abombwe skills and Strange Day/Beast Meld
-Wall deck with No Secrets + Second Trad etc.

chameleon option is interesting but without banishments it's not that good. And if you want to play banishments, than old good Nakhthorheb is just better.
Adding mind rape to the chameleon is interesting but there is not much synergy here. Both cards needs a lot of blood and usually you want to play both of them at the same time (at the begginig of the game, when vampire full with blood just entered play) so they more compete with each other than help.
Using Dracula to play just another star deck wall looks like a huge waste of potential for me. There is so much great vampires for it that it just makes no point IMO

Well, with Chameleon + Heidelberg Castle you steal a vamp, then get all the blood, I don't see the problem.

And about banishments and vote lock, each time you steal a vamp, you make him Baron. Mind Rapes are to steal ocasional vamps with votes to help you pass them.
