Quick question: there are 8 !Gangrel under 5 in group 3-4... is this deck better with Enkidu?

It wouldn't get to multirush but it would be superior in combat.

EDIT: Whoops, never mind the Pack Alpha suggestion. Actually reading the card text instead of basing my suggestion on my poor memory alerted me to the fact that the +1 strength from its superior function is unique-per-vampire.

Luckily, Murder of Crows stacks. They cost a blood each but pay themselves back after the first Taste.

I think the next time I play this deck I will try a few iterations without Pack Alpha. I'm worried that running 2 different combos (Crows + Taste, Pack Alpha + Murder of Crows) will hurt card flow more than it helps the deck run.

I think that's why you should consider having your Chump-Nerds get your birds (any Raven Spies or Murders) after the first one or two so that Wynn can worry about being the badass!

Update!

I've just barely started a few games on JOL and a couple things are apparent:

• Too many Freak Drives. They are expensive.
• Kevlar Vest can and will be blocked; consider Guardian Angel.
• I can handle an Ivory Bow, but why not put one in for Wynn?
• Cannot handle big hitback very well; consider more Soak.
• NEEDS CANINE HORDE

The deck feels slow to play, and having multiple Wynns in the crypt makes it really hard to keep the combo going. I think I should add 1-3 Wider View as well as Information Highway and maybe a Dreams of the Sphinx. Or, you know, Effective Management.

Here is my latest iteration based on my ongoing games. I think this is a much stronger version. I've decided to drop Immortal Grapple and add a Desert Eagle. Advantage against ranged combat, big disadvantage against S:CE, but it also brings the deck down to a tight 60 cards. Aranthebes is a huge weakness; do I put one in to contest and for defense?

Would this deck be improved by:

• Animalism intercept module with retainers and more Freak Drive?
• Bleed defense like Archon Investigation or Dummy Corporation?
• Putting the Immortal Grapple back in?
• A stack of Villeins to drain the weenies with?
• Something else I haven't thought of?
