Where do I start. This used to be a 90 card Khazar's Diary deck but that was just not working out as designed. I trimmed all the fat but the deck still needs lots of work. The Khazar's aspect never really got off the ground and was not really important. My ousts to get into the finals came from Haven + Fame with a rinse and repeat. In the finals I didn't do anything but avoid pissing other people off. I had only 1 vamp with basic Dom in play and I kept all of my bounce in my hand till time expired to avoid tipping off my predator. Turbo Stanislava as a grand preadtor had everybody scared so it was all about who was gonna get hit once the bleeds came.

The cool trick of the deck is to use the play of a Heaven's Gate to reset the Trap counters and continue the combat (the minions in combat do not need to be the ones playing cards to reset a trap).
