Recure to the Homeland

Deck Name : !TREMERE
Author :
Description : Based off of Randyman's version of "Thatre" in proportions, here is a weenie-esque !Tremere deck. Should be relaitvely simple to play as I am trying to exploit some of the clan's strengths, namely Recure to the Homeland.

+Ousting consists of getting 4 guys out who will bleed with dominate and/or recruit Succubi.
+Minor Survival package here with the usual flick and 'cept provided by aus/dom.
+Infernal Pact is actually quite sexy here, providing THA/AUS/DOM as required.
+Speaking of Succubus, I figured, "Why not?" They usually end up being a 5th minion who can bleed, strike with aggravated or suck off blood in the late game. They can also make use of Frontal Assault. Oh yeah!
+Doubled up on Blackwood because DOM and Burst/Vitals/special text = 5 aggravated at range. Mix it up with Blood Fury and that's 6 at close. Sexy. R

Thoughts appreciated!

Updated. Mostly added Governs/Mirror Walks and squeezed in some Effective Managements. I can't wait to play this!

Perfect deck?

Perfect, certainly not, but nothing obvious to see from my point of view.

Maybe the more "obvious" thing would be the fact that with 12 combats card and no combat permanents, and then only one rush, the fame feel a bit superfluous.

I think the succubi would be better as nephandi instead, much cheaper and bleeds just as good, also has fairly decent survivability.

Given only the five Bursts, Recure is a rather unreliable play. I tend to see Recure as only really being worth it with Rutor's Hand or a dedicated swarm rush strategy - you plan for the swarm but not so much the rush nor have enough Bursts to consistently be going to torpor. Then, Burst combat is far more reliable with Rotschreck, in which case you shouldn't need Recure.

Alternatively, can scrape up some Fortitude for a Force of Will deck, though how that's better than Govern isn't remotely clear, or some other strategy where you know you will end up in torpor. I guess this is a good time to mention putting out a bunch of Embraces, since they don't need and, thus, won't have disciplines and are fairly likely to end up taking naps.
