I would recommend you to modify your initial post taking into account this template :

How to get the best results from Deck Clinic posts #383 08 Jan 2011 16:08
1) Post your deck using ARDB or Secret Library format. This allows players familiar with the game to quickly and easily see how much of your deck is played on your turn, how much is played on others turns, etc.
ardb.googlecode.com/files/Ardb_3_1_1.zip
www.secretlibrary.info/?deck

2) Answer as many of these questions in your description as you can:
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?


3) Mentioning if you've reviewed a particular deck building article and would like help with implementing that advice is also a good choice.

Just giving a quick look to your deck, I don't find it at all competitive. You have no real means of becoming anarch (except for 2 Seattle Committee and 1 Anarch Convert).

There's another option, that works fine. Instead of Embraces and Web of Knifes, you can play Legion + THA skills to be able to play Crimeth Inc.

Combat is completely pointless, I would take everything out.

You definately need 1 Garibaldy-Meucci Museum. 1-2 My Kin Against the World should be good.

Take all the events out to finde room for 1-2 Uncoiling + 1-2 Not to Be.

You can also take Poacher's Hunting Ground and Hospital Food out, they are useless. IMO, you should find some room for 1-2 Direct Intervention and 2-4 Delaying Tactics. You can defend your Fee Stakes and you can avoid Ancilla and/our Anarchist Uprising.

Maybe add some Anarch Revolts ?

I agree that the combat cards are a waste. Really all you need for combat is Swallowed by the Night, which you will mostly play for stealth. You could include a couple of No Trace if you anticipate a high intercept or rush combat meta.

Diversify the crypt! Also add Yoruba Shrine. Keep the deck to the minimum size necessary to function so that you get the awesome cards you need when you need them.

I just see too many cards for the deck to be good "death star" rev council.

Now, some combos can have 60 cards and be too many (im looking at some twister builds with one to 3 too many junk cards that could be burn options) and ive seen 70 card decks be too few cards for others, its about how many moving parts you can physically have to accomplish something before you realize you have 87 cards dedicated to Appolonious not sucking at second trad alastor combat.

Here, we have to:
1. Win. By
A. Bleeding with enough minions for rank bonus
B. Anarch attrition and maybe a council.
2. Setup to accomplish b.

So, we can agree other options set up to bleed with more minions than a pallet of of Sabbat War contains offers more efficiently. We can argue that other things do this and vote better. (!Torries, obviously Pander, Nos Royals, g6 baali horde against the world, whatever).

So what do you want with anarch assamites and this strategy?

Anarch attrition keeping pace with weenie support and a rev council kill?
Sounds cool, lots of toys to make it happen, but maybe too many. Council needs barons, thats cool, crimethinc does neat stuff.....

But streamline. Its stays if if accomplishes 1aor 1b, it might stay if it helps keep you alive.

But you are slow to set up. I had a voting grotesques deck that outpaces this by 5 turns.
Whole thing isnt bad, its not efficient enough though. Converts help alot. I think i like seattle com alot too, but im not feeling some proportions, or some masters.

Combat package: you spelled 3x sideslip wrong. Unless you are dodging sbtn is plenty. Old friends could be neat.

For the few that commented. Thank you for the suggestions. Though for the record, my meta is too violent not to have combat. And a solitary maneuver with Swallowed by Night wouldn't cut it.
