Working Title

This is my first attempt at building a 60 card deck. Aside from the obvious need to switch a few Masters out for Blood Dolls, I'd appreciate some feedback.

needs wakes and freak drives.

5 camera phones? I doubt you'll ever get that many minions in play. 2 or 3 would be plenty.

I've tried Local 1111 in decks before, but the costs (both blood and actions) were always too high to turn it into an advantage. and it just seems redundant if you already have Hungry Coyote in play.

you'll need more obfuscate cards to get the 0-stealth Psychic Veil and Blithe Acceptance into play. I'd actually remove everything under the "Actions" list except for Conceal. If focused on getting strong permanent equipment and retainers, maybe a few weapons to help out, this deck can stand a good chance.

There are a lot of permanents, but limited multiacting for an Obf-For combination. I'd be looking for more space for Freak Drives in there.

You're very light-on for stealth. I can understand a good mix of three stealth cards: Forgotten Labyrinth (for everything non-bleed), Lost in Crowds and Swallowed by the Night (for the combat defence angle).

Your crypt is too big to consider Anima Gathering. You don't want to spend 7 pool on a vampire to have it do nothing.

The Coven while handy, may not be the best option. Special Report doesn't seem really worth it. Restoration is probably in this camp too.

Keep Conceal, it is a great card.

The rest seems reasonable.

Unfortunately, without stripping them from other decks, I don't have any "spare" Freak Drives laying around.

I can definitely see the argument for removing the Anima Gathering, Special Report and Local 1111. Those 4 spots would easily be Blood Dolls. There are a couple other Masters that might come out as well, part of them are in there as a semi-Place Holder capacity, others are there simply to try and clog the table with actions to consider besides the ones in your hand, so to speak.

I can also see tweaking the stealth mix a smidge, perhaps trying to get it to 2 each on the Forgotten/Lost/Swallowed. I don't want to get too "in hand" stealth heavy and choke on it, hence the Blithes and Psychics. I might fiddle with it a bit more and see if I can't make room for a 44 or two.
