Massassi's love affair

Unless there's some very good reason to use them, Vessels are always inferior to Blood Dolls. I don't see that reason in this deck.

Another alternative is to remove Jeremy, make the rest of the crypt Osebo, and use Grooming the Protege. Helps speed up the build-up process that you're worried about, as well as also being better than Vessel.

Powerbase: My Laibons Rush Your Guys (Luanda, maybe?) should certainly be in here if you go for the crypt change.

Powerbase Lomumba? only requires a laibon to put into play. You can give the rush to any of your vampires, assuming it is not stolen.

Even better for inclusion here, then. Even if the third vampire can't use it, Jeremy can use it to rush targets who are greater capacity than he is.

If the OP insists on keeping all those celerity cards that aren't Resist Earth's Grasp, and decides to add Heart of the City, Dominique Santo Paulo could be a great inclusion.

Sad but true reason is the fact that other people are playing Vessels instead of Blood Dolls, either due to their trifleness or because BDs are destroyed by Vessels. I've given up playing BDs in my decks just because every one else has also and when I play my BDs, I need them to stay for the rest of the game there, not just until my pred or prey plays another Vessel and destroys my Blood doll.

IMHO:

- Drop the aura reading
- Add HG
- Add PB:Luanda
- Go for 3 Dreams of the Sphynx
- Make the 5 support guys all Khalu and Homa

The rest looks neat. If well played (and with a proper metagame), can become a wining deck.

Cheers!
