(Do not want to start personal topic, so i'll write here)
I think, the weakness of trophy decks isn't in "How i should make that weakling a Red List", but in uselessness and weakness of Red List minions. Add some boost cards for Red Lists and players will want to play with Red Lists, and the trophy decks will have chances to live.

For example,

The Line Crossed
[action]
Requires a vampire of carpacity more than 3.
+2 steath action.
(d) Bleed at +1. Either acting minion becomes Red List and you gain 1 pool, or pay 1 pool.
-- some useful bleed with cost of becoming Red List
-- picture should be smth like: a group of titled ones gathered at emergency meeting, watching TV special report (some car chasing)

Finally, hunted
[action]
+1 stealth action.
Burn a vampire in torpor (not diablerie) and this minion becomes Red List.
-- a boost card for ally decks
-- picture should be smth like: a coffin and a mortal hunter, who is splashing petrolium around it

Plan "B"
[action]
Requires tapped Red List minion.
+2 stealth action.
Untap this minion if this action successful.
-- some boost for multiaction
-- picture should be smth like: someone is jumping through a window on a car top, and shadows of chasers are visible in that window

Mad Trick
[action modifier]
Requires Red List minion.
+1 Stealth.
Blocking minion takes 1 damage or -1 intercept.
-- picture should be smth like: car flying from a ramp, the driver leaned out the window and shoots backwards with a gun.

Booby Trap
[combat]
Usable once per action, before range is determined. Requires a Red List minion.
Opposing minion takes 2 damage, or his controller may discard 2 combat cards to cancel this card as it played.
-- picture should be smth like: a forest, a hunter with a weapon makes threatening pose, the Red List is some steps away, unarmed and smiling. Behind the hunter is a tree with a bomb on it.

Very interesting cards indeed. I like the push for Red List minions.

But still with a Trophydeck you have to make sure that red list minions are around, preferable at your prey or predator. So you have to pack cards that make other minions red list, even if there are cards around, which are attractive to use for red list minions. You can't just hope for someone playing red list.

The Purging
Event
Put this card in play. Do not replace until a Red List vampire has been burned. Any non-Red List titled vampire may take a D action to make a younger, non-titled vampire or ally Red List. Burn this card if there are no ready titled vampires in play.

The Hunter
Master
Trifle
Put his card on a vampire you control. This vampire can enter combat with a Red List minion controlled by another methuselah as a D action at +1 stealth.

I suggest a new strategy...let the Wookie win.

some more cards:

Fall Guy [action mod/reaction]
Cost 1+x blood
Require titled vampire, other than the acting minion. Unique.
Usable when any methuselah is bled by 3 or more, location is burned, or a non-Red List vampire is burned.
Put this card on any minion. That minion is Red List. This card costs +X blood, where X is number of votes the target minion has. This card can be burned by +1 stealth political action.
-- card represents the dirty political game, lies, framing and etc.
-- either there should be "Unique" keyword or "only one %cardname% can be played each turn".

Bounty Hunter [political action]
Require titled vampire.
Choose an non-titled vampire. Put this card on the chosen vampire. That vampire can enter combat with any Red List minion as +1 stealth action. That vampire may burn 1 blood to untap after a combat, when opposing Red List minion is not ready.
-- also maybe add a wording "Requres a title vampire with 2 votes or more"

Big Prize [action modifier]
Require ready Red List minion.
Usable once a turn after a successful action. Put this card on the acting minion. This minion can burn this card to reduce cost of card he plays by up to 2 pool. If the minion with this card leaves ready region, this card is burned, and opposing minion's controller gains 2 pool.
-- another boost for Red List minion, but with a drawback

Actually...

Fall Guy
Action
+1 stealth
X :blood: blood
Requires a titled vampire.
Put this card on a minion that took an action to burn a location you control or which bleed you for 3 or more pool since your last discard phase. X is equal to that minions number of votes. The minion with this card is Red List. Minions you control may enter combat with the minion with this card as a (D) action. A minion may have only one copy of Fall Guy.
