Ravnos Tap n' Bleed-ish

Deck Name : KRENYENKO v2
Author :
Description :

How do I intend to oust?
Good old fashion bleeds for 3 pool with each vampire. This happens by fetching +bleed equipment via Krenyenko's special ability and/or Tier of Souls/Fata Morgana. Natalia's inherent +1 blee also goes a long way.

How do I intend to survive?
Villein for bloating, Deflections for bouncing bleeds and CHI for messing with my predator if required. Bloat and flick in the early game, star draining blood off/torping vampires with Edged Illusion towards the end game when blood is scarce.

The gameplan:
This is kind of a tap n' bleed concept. Kind of. The idea is to fetch K. Vrana early with Ivan's ability, then bring out Gabrin. Now I have two vampires who pay 1 less for CHI cards. With a decent amount of freak drives for a 70 card deck, I can keep bloating with K. Vrana, Freak, bleed. Or Sensory Overload (they are not Deprivations but they are free to play and with only two-three vamps on board, I have to manage blood carefully), freak, bleed. Red Herring makes sure I don't waste any precious Edged Illusions. Reality comes later, removing a blocker and having them pay pool to bring them back out.

Anyway, it's extremely experimental and am in the midst of playtesting it. Decided to post here to see if I can get any thoughts. Note that this will die to dedicated combat/grapples but what are ya gonna do? If they become an issue, I'll just add the CHI card that ends combat before range.

I personally think that Fantasy World is much better than Sensory Overload or Reality for the tap and bleed concept, because its at stealth (at superior), and prevents the target from reacting also, and is fairly affordable at 2 blood base cost. I would also replace the svadharmas with ravnos carnival instead which does more or less the same but with lot more versatility and potentially lot bigger effect. And for that record, you also really should have week of nightmares there, as well as some Tumnimos, those are both just too good to not use.
