Goofy Anarch Vote

Deck Name: Dominique Anarch Vote
Author: Brandon Haas
Description: A very toolboxy anarch vote deck, more to try out cards than anything. The most interesting thing for me will be to get Dominique merged. Any ideas about different proportions or cards that I missed?

It feels a fair bit like a typical Grinder deck, with the lunge-y bleed module replaced mostly with politics.

Taking Hugh's Grinder deck "Stick Men", and several of the close variants, you tend to end up with something like 16-18 bleed cards out of a roughly 80 card deck - say that that becomes 17-20 in a 90 card deck. It tends to be about half and half between actions (Govern) and action modifiers - 6 Conditioning, 2 Bonding being the usual module.

You lose a hell of a lot of that pool damage, and mostly replace it with three votes (1 KRC, 1 Con Ag, 1 Revolutionary Council), a slightly sketchy Neonate Breach (it's a little random) and 3 Monkey Wrench.

Given your crypt, the Monkey Wrench really feels like it should be Conditioning - 1 blood cost for 2 or 3 bleed, instead of 2 blood or 3 blood.

It feels like - like the mentioned grinder decks - it could survive pretty well, but would need to get a little lucky to secure solid ousts.

I would change Gift of XP to a 2nd Epiphany, it is just better.
Infamous Insurgent is really good, but I think it will be a dead card in most games with your crypt/library. Take it out or add a Soul Scan/Wider View.
Steely Tenacity appears to be one of your key ousting cards you should have 2 in the deck.
Six slots of your crypt have , so 1-2 Eyes of Argus for OtQV,WwEF or the Mole.
I think ConBonn or Exclusion Principle will serve you better than Anarch Salon.
Last but not least, 3 Anarch Converts is not enough.

Flames of Insurrection may fit in this deck perfectly.

1x Epiphany

Is this number so low because it's all you own? Epiphany can be really easily cycled, so you can safely run rather a lot of them in a deck.

Yeah, I only own 1 copy of epiphany. I should probably trade for more and some soul scans while I'm at it.

Shard- I did think about Flames of Insurrection. If I went more intercept-combat, I would be more inclined to play it. Alternately, if I went with more rush, Flames could help generate pool. I can probably sacrifice the cornercase +1 stealth from Plasmic Form for another Steely Tenacity.

James- The ousting power is fairly low, that's true. I guess it is worth occasionally bleeding for 4+ if the bleeds are more often at 3 with conditioning. Dylan has +1 bleed and Steely Tenacity gives +1 bleed, so I was worried about AI. I'll think about how to include some more pool damage while gaining and maintaining pool. BTW, Patsy does pool damage in addition to stripping titles.

Thanks, guys!
