Red List/Trophy Deck Ventrue

Also, Never underestimate power of inferior potence. I have seen Lucinda empty out 8 blood on a anathema'd Gabrielle di righetti. Slam+target vitals+torn signpost with a press go a long way.

Slam x6
Target Vitals x3
Torn Signpost x3
Hidden Strength x4

All in 90 cards. You saw it once, but how likely is it to happen again? Also, note that even after playing 4 cards, that chain would is foiled by any maneuver, prevent or press and that you need to add a grapple against dodge/combat ends/steal blood/non-damaging strikes in general (or you lose the right to play Hidden Strength for a press). With only, the whole deck has a whooping 0 maneuvers and 4 conditional presses.

Huh?
Name: Red List
Cardtype: Action
Requires a ready, titled, non-Red List vampire.
Choose a ready ally or a ready younger vampire. The chosen minion becomes Red List. That minion may not attempt to block this action.

Carlton Van Wyk. If you play him nobody else does. My Jaroslav Pascek once was killed by a Carlton after diablerizing one red list and after he was tooled up with Trophies Domain and Hunting ground

Carlton's text is special, but then again, you can make him red list, and burn him with one grapple... also, my point is to make red listed minions burn thru anathema, not by diablerie... that's why i didn't have amaranth or trophy...

I would replace; 3 freak drives with forced march.
; helicopter with eye of hazimel

I would like to see one copy of monster in the deck and either monastery of shadows or kine dominance.

why would i swap forced march? it is free, sure, but i do not have blood problem in this deck. eye of hazimel might be fine, but i why would i put it? 'cause of superior potence? might prove too expensive, given that i play in meta with lots of Gremlins and Loss...
Monster or other masters are great, but might clog the deck. Actually I try to lessen the number of those...

You saw it once, but how likely is it to happen again?

Basically, when a player has those cards in hand, and rushes other vampire.

EDIT:
I need to bolster defence of this deck, that is my focus at the time. Any suggestions?

Why forced march? because its free, 2/3's of your crypt can play it and you can play it if freak drive is D.I.'d or visa versa.

The Eye does more than give , there are four other beneficial abilities that it gives for this deck. While it is expensive, it still may be playable with Alastor, but not in a Loss and Gremlins heavy environment.
