Ousting?

Bleeds for one after torporising enough stuff. Traditional combat ousting module.

Suriving?

In a nut shell: "Cock says Nein!"

Bloat?

Blood Dolls and Vessels (I'm craving for a fifth of these... 4's always so few), as well as PB Montreal.

Average turn?

Rush or Raven Spy with Cock, and either bleed, take a funny action or stand by to block.

Meta?

Our decks include stuff from semi-effective combat to very nasty (and aggressive) stealth-bleeders. I'm definitely trying to counter the latter with my reaction module.

There's a local tourament coming up tomorrow, and I wanted to once again try out how the Nosferatu would fare. I've already experimented with Echo/Casino/Kurt Densch red listing, but to be honest, it ain't working. It's fun as hell to play with, though, and I'm hoping to make a more compact and focused version of it one of these days. Nossies are cool.

Anyways, about this one here: One of my mates has been playing with Cock a lot (har har), and now I wanted to have a go with him.

What I'm worried about is not exactly the surviving part (I think that kind of a reaction module should be sufficient), but the actual ousting. Combat should be okay like that if I keep my guard up, and 8 rushes with that lot of reactions will most likely be okay as well. So getting in combat's not going to be a problem. But, as you can see, I'm running out of card slots, and the ousting module is very slim.

I wanted to have plenty of combat, but make it compact so that there's little variables in there. Not the most interesting combat package, I know, and that'll most likely end up being frustrating in the long run, but seems effective enough. I'm also lacking some very useful masters, like Archon Investigation, Giant's Blood, a second Tension - stuff like that. It would be so much easier to just make an Anson deck and put every single good master there is in there...

But Anson lacks Cock.

Also, I'd love to include some overall good cards, like Ossian. He's awesome.

Variations of ousting module might include:

Anarch Revolt
Additional Armies of Rats
Enkil Cog (if only I owned one...)
A sparse use of KRC

Anything else?

Fourth Traditions would help a lot, I think, but where's the space?

Any comments and discussion is appreciated.

Why unmasking without allies ?

I think it is an Uncoiling. He just accidentally clicked on the wrong card.

Acutally it's supposed to be Dragonbound...

Ups.

Uncoiling would be cool. Sadly I don't own it.

Wow! How did you made that?

Anyhow Dragonbound is cool card, so go for it!

More Deep Song if it's ousting that you're worried about. I'd suggest changing Taunts into more Deep Songs.

Improvides Flamethrower doesn't seem very useful here. Ivory Bow is far better, basically. You have seven Tastes but only four Masters to get blood off your guys and into pool. I'd change Fragment and Visit into Vessels (since they are trifle and you have a lot of Masters for a combatty deck, though I do prefer Blood Dolls most of the time).

Finally, Owl Companion is utterly awesome. I didn't rate it very highly, but having used it a bit, the intel you get is absolutely golden.

Aggropoke is your downfall, but it's a bit hard to deal with for pot/ani combat. Guardian Angel, Flak Jacket, Song of Serenity are possible, but not super hot. Maybe a couple of Leather Jackets, though?
