You know, when you have Chaundice, vamps tend to end up in torpor a lot. Combine that with Antonio, which you already have in crypt, and Nephandus (Mage) seems as a very logical addition to a deck.

Tension in the Ranks. It is so awesome and has one of the most entertaining pictures (in my book). Multirush with Chaundice means at least two pooldamage per round. Combined with Fame and Dragonbound - BAM.
Don't you think you deal too few damage (without Heroic Might at least)? What about Swoop or some +strength/damage potence cards?

Can't put anything in without taking things out.
What would you take out?

Perhaps you have a bit too many Deflections. I'd drop two. I'd also drop one of each Freak Drive and As the Crow (although I can see that your goal is to multirush with all kind of different, non-obvious rush cards, which is nice!)

10 Grapple might be too much, however that mostly depends on your local meta, which you know better than we do. If it were up to me, I'd stick with 8.

if you need card slots, you could always drop one Pulled Fangs out (oh, it's also a pun! ). speaking of, how come you have Fangs over Disarms?

I'd drop one Blood Doll/Vessel (as I feel 6 total is enough) and perhaps a single Guardian Angel, mostly because of its cost...

Also, since we're discussing other people's advice, it's obvious, should you have limited space, it is either Nephandi or Tension/Fame/Dragonbound...I quite like Nephandus angle (mostly coz I find it cool), but the other angle is perhaps a bit more efficient and needs less bleed cards.

Local metagame doesn't matter, this would be played at the Last Chance Qualifier, where I'd expect most decks to have absolutely minimal combat defense, as they need offense to get into the top 33%.

When Pulled Fangs is the last damage that puts an empty vampire into torpor, you can rescue them and let them get re-dunked by the Pulled Fangs during their controller's turn. Disarm only sends them to torpor once, and only when you play it.
