How do you intend to oust?
Swarm and Sense the sin bleeds for 3

How do you intend to keep from being ousted?
Bloat and unleash hells fury to slow down predator

What do you want your ready region to look like (ie, how many guys are you planning on getting out)?
5-6 would be nice

What do you want your average turn to look like?
3 blood down, pick up fragment, freak drive, 3 blood down, pick up fragment, freak drive, 3 blood down, pick up fragment, freak drive, clothos gift inf, freak drive, cycle 5 cards, 3 blood down, pick up fragment, etc. etc.

What's your metagame like? How do your opponents play?
Everything. Generally "extreme" decks though and very little toolboxing.


What problems have you observed with the deck in play?
None! (not due to it being perfect, but due to me not having tried it yet)

At first glance I would say you have way too many freak drives there. I use less in my Giotto's Cab deck which is all about doing zillion actions a turn and still I often have to cycle extras just hunting.

Since your deck seems to only do one thing, you would probably be better off trimming it down to like 70 cards or so. Also since pretty much none of your vampires has superior obfuscate, you should diversify your stealth more, by using equal portions of each of the free +1 stealth at basic obf cards. Cloak the Gathering, Faceless Night, Lost in Crowds, Swallowed by the Night, Spying Mission, Domain of Evernight, Gift of Sleep.

Try something like

-10 freak drive
-4 stealth cards
-3 sense the sin
-1 obfuscate
-1 unleash hells fury
-2 skin of steel
-2 soak
-1 vast wealth
-1 nra pac

and your down to 65 cards and probably find it working much better

Whoops, the latest version has 5 Behind You instead of the 5 Soaks, due to the fact that the fragment can be stolen as a strike.

Diversifying the stealth sounds like a good idea.

It might be better with fewer cards. The first draft had 70 cards and 6 ashurs instead, but I want to be able to use the cycle ability to draw 5 cards without having to be afraid of decking myself. I was thinking that with this many freak drives I will always be able to flush my hand + get the things I want.

They will be spending quite a lot blood so I am also hoping to use some of the freak drives to recoup blood via Hungry Coyote hunts.

Thats other thing that you need to look for, you really NEED that hungry coyote, and having just one copy in 90 cards doesn't give you terribly good odds in actually getting it. Also, Behind You gives you dodge at superior obfuscate, thats not going to help you much, try just the discplineless Dodge instead.

Conflagration is more fun than Flames of the Netherworld.

I'd play a bit more !Brujah, and use the Waste Management Operation, just in case someone burns the thing / blocks it / DI's it because it's in your opening hand / ..
