Ready to Rumble

I am generally a fan of toolboxy decks, but every now and then I will also try to make very focused decks, this is one such deck. Basically rush combat with quite good ousting power as well with Fames, tension, dragonbound, legals, and Miguels special. Street Creds let it to bloat while rushing, blood dolls, gang territory, and legals give some more pool gain, and can also do some back rushing if get too aggressive predator. As usual, any comments or suggestions are welcome.

A few Games of Instincts? It gives you blood by the end of the game, when vampires are dry and Taste stops working.

I'd swap the blurs for pursuits, its a better card and costs less. Street Cred never worked for me One of those cards that looks great, but doesn't turn out to be useful in practice. Change one either Gang Territory or Frontal Assault into a Dreams of the Sphinx, no combat deck should be without one. Is there a reason you've gone pulled fangs over Disarms? Shoulder Drop is probably a better choice than fangs also, since it means they can't press out against the Grapple.

Anyway cool deck, have fun with it!

Disarm is bit pointless when I hit them for 6+ a round so they are going to torpor anyway. Pulled Fangs means they STAY down.

I did a few changes to the crypt to make Street Cred work better, took out Miguels and replace with Amelia and second Rigby, that way I have 3 of each capacity which means I have targets for Street Cred about always. I also switched the secure havens to rampage instead, frontal assaults with one of each slam and hunting ground. This helped me to get the amount of masters down some so I don't jam to them anymore.

How do you handle hit-back? Aggro-poke?

Taste of Vitae handles most hitback, agg poke is bit annoying but don't see too much of that, in that case will just take them down with me.
