This is pure attrition deck, you bleed and call votes, punishing blockers with croc tongues and catatonic fears until they can't block you anymore. There is some light stealth and other shenanigans too so you can get some critical actions past when needed but mostly it just bullies its actions through.

Yo Yo!
Looks good, man. Hmm. Just a few suggestions for the heck of it. I would probably run more Banishments because you are seriously taking away blood from opposing vampires. Also Torrent is nice and probably the ideal choice. I'm just a sucker for CF + Target Vitals. It's cheaper and WILL send mid-caps to torpor with all the attrition going on.
Having said that, the deck seems a tad slow with you having to influence them out old school style. Other than DREAMS I don't see any acceleration. I'm not sure how you'd fit that in though. But I think the deck would benefit immensely if you somehow did. OR! Maybe slide in two copies of Scourge of the Enochians just because, you know, weenies will ravage you before you get going I think.

Hi,
in the spirit of the theme we DEMAND at least one Camarilla Exemplary
Maybe instead of one Aching Beauty (blood ~= pool)
Monestary is counterproductive since they will not even try to block when they can SEE you can stealth.
Also Elysium and HG have poor ROI. I would switch them for 1 Wider View and 1 Entrancement
Cool deck!
Cheers
Robert

I actually had Camarilla Exemplaries in the deck instead of Aching Beauties originally, but exemplary really just wasn't worth an action from one of my big guys, aching beauty is much better. Also you are missing the point, I specifically WANT them to not block me, thats why all the blood draining stuff is there, so they can't block me anymore. So if they choose to not block me because of monastery, then thats perfectly fine to me, will let me oust my prey that much faster. Elysium and hg might be possible to take off, they are both mostly as back up plans, in case there is too much votes on the table. I have been considering putting some kindred society games in there though to further mess up with people. Could maybe try switching them for those.

I noticed two of your vampires have
, it might be interesting to have a surprise copy of Daring the Dawn, for that one crucial action that must go through.

How do you expect to survive with no untap? I don't see how you can afford to simply not act with one of your big minions every turn.
