file Fatima leads the revolt

As most know, i am a die-hard Assamite player. Finally an opportunity presents itself for me to play Fatima deck (as i lacked Fatima's before).
I opted for old tried-and-true Fatima multirush archetype made by David Cherryholmes long time ago, taking it up on anarch angle (as i feel it adds more flexibility and ousting power), and updating it to my tastes, style, and preference.
Now, tell me, did i miss something glaringly obvious (apart form Pentex and Uncoiling, those are not in on purpose)

7x Diversion

Blood turnip, good catch!!!

No need for steely tenacity, i feel i have enough rush already. Though maybe switch one ambushes for steely tenacity hmmmm.

Though, i am not sure which master to take out for Blood turnip, i feel master heavy already

Steely Tenacity, and then make your non-AC weenies Dom weenies. Group 2 has a lot of them at two capacity (and one at one). Rush early, bleed later. As it is, 10 rushes is probably too light and you don't have enough ousting power; ST will help with both.

Better to have Fatima remove enemy Aranthebes than pay pool for it (you're not going to use it).

Not sure why Vessel is in here.

+1 Dragonbound, +1 Fame.

Can lose Wider View - already have Anarch Converts for decrypting.

As this deck is well-suited to Fame-dunk recycling, Humanitas and/or Catacombs might be good.

You really need something to cycle your cards. I'd suggest a Reliquary: Shango Remains or the good ol' fashioned Barrens.

For more bloating, I'd play 2 caps assamites and a Heartblood of the clan : I know it sounds far-fetched but the card can easily make you gain 2 pool per turn.

The deck looks quite good as it is :)

@ Kushiel :
Been thinking about that, but ditched the idea. Main drawback with it being that then all of my vamps need to be anarch, not only Fatima. And they do not have blood to go anarch hard way, and 4 anarch converts is not enough to turn them. So then i would need to be packing some Seattle committee/ twilight camp, and i feel i am too master heavy. Also Dom weenies bring even more hate, as all fear hidden conditionings and graverobbings. Plus, i feel ousting potential is decent with Revolts, fame , and small bleeds for one, alongside dunking it really adds up. Whenever i play superstar decks, i feel the need to have some vessels. They help out when not-expected stuff comes up, and they are rarely in the way. Sometimes, you end low on blood, face unexpected hitback, or whatever. Also, a 1-cap with vessel in a low intercept environment can produce pool. You can blow up some blood doll, if any, and it is a trifle. I like to keep 2-3 in almost all my decks, force of habit. They saved me more times than burdened me..

Humanitas i considered, but it is ANOTHER master... i would need to take something out, and i do not know what

@ Reyda

Shango might be good, but i dislike the idea of burning blood of Fatima, and it cannot be used in combat (meaning i would have to do it before combat). I wanted to shoe-in another dreams, or fragment of book of nod, but it is, alas MORE masters...

I did not use wee assamites as sidekicks for one obvious reason : i want my minis to be able to diablerise if needed. Plus, even with heartblood i can have tops 2-3 little ones, and they would probably have smarter things to do. I love Heartblood, and use it always in my assamite embrace decks, or black hand decks (with extra actions), but here... not so much.

But i thin ambushes should indeed be Steely tenacity, for the versatility of +1 stealth rush that comes back. I will probably kick out aranthebes for another provisions, and i need to figure how to add Blood turnip...
