Greets!

Without modifying the backbone of the deck (meaning I only play gangrel, !gangrel and ahrimane, so please dont tell me to recreate the whole crypt to !toreador or something :D), how do you think I can improve ousting power? I considered using Delaying Tactics/Direct Intervention against cheeky stuff like Banishment, but eventually I chose acting instead of reacting. Any idea occurring is welcomed, especially constructive critics.

Nice to see that you can get it to work!

To go for a vote strategy with !gangrel seems a bit cumbersome, though, Maybe combine with Adana de Sforza instead of Una for more permanent votes? Fakir al Sidi to stop banishments easier?

Also, have you considered using House of Sorrow to decks like this?
It combines great with your locations, Dreams and especially with The Coven to use it for 4 blood and denying your predator the use.

I wish it did, but it doesn't deny your Predator from using The Coven.

If you do so, neither that card nor this location untap as normal on your next untap phase.


In fact, I think the card remembers the next time it is under your control.
Floppy?

However, in a two-player game, untapping The Coven with House of Sorrows will cause it not to untap during your next untap phase. So, if your predator taps it, you don't get to untap it. You're basically borrowing the usage of The Coven from your next turn if you untap it with House of Sorrows in a 2-player game.

It appears to rely on Dual Form in the sense that the basic plan for the deck is to get out Una and/or Aksinya, have them DF to create another large PRE/PRO sabbat vampire, and have the DFs become cardinals via Cardinal Benediction to achieve vote lock.

I do agree that with only five copies of each of those key cards, a 90-card library is much too large.
