Goratrix is Out Of Time

How do you intend to oust?
Fame rush and bleeds for one.

How do you intend to keep from being ousted?
Weenie dominate bounce, plus back-rush as required.

What do you want your ready region to look like (ie, how many guys are you planning on getting out)?
Goratrix plus a buddy or three.

What do you want your average turn to look like?
Goratrix should grab some equipment with Magic of the Smith, untap with Rutor's Hand, then use the new equipment in a rush action.

What's your metagame like? How do your opponents play?
Lots of large vampires Villeined down to small blood amounts. Ripe for Psyche/Pocket Out of Time abuse.

What problems have you observed with the deck in play?
Haven't played it yet. Got inspired by a blog post and needed to see what I'd do with the concept.

You don't really *need* !Tremere companions, recure is great, but wouldn't ponticulus be nice too for Talbot's Chainsaw?

odds and ends:
I would also think you'd want more Rutor's Hand to get it earlier.
Target Vitals + Burst = yummy
Nephandus is great for eating!
4x Apparition *??* is that for the Agent of power, hah ha I have chi?
1x Flak Jacket is enough with mots
+1 Sargon Fragment is a great way to invite blocks for POOT.

I dont' see any wakes/on the qui vi, so why have the Guardian Angels and Cats' without those? to prevent, I think Rego Motus is enough and looking at your masters, I have to think Guardian Angel will take a back seat most turns.

Tension in the Ranks seems very good for ousting, also for your desc Goratrix bleeds for 2, and a Reform Body ain't a bad idea either, just 1.
just some thoughts, not sure if it helps.

Regular Tremere would probably be fine.

Apparitions are for the Chimerstry and pay one less granted by Eye of Hazimel.

Guardian Angel prevents damage every combat.

After getting the Enkil Cog, the turn can be rush, stay untapped, then rush or bleed at end of predator's turn. The Cats Guidance helps ensure that Goratrix is untapped to take those actions if your predator does decide to dare the monster.

Tension in the Ranks is very bad for Talbot's Chainsaw.

I don't think Rego Motus is enough, permanent prevention is essential.

Jeff, I've said in the past that I wouldn't ask you anymore about your 3x Superstar decks, since you say that they work for you, but this just baffles me. What in the world could merging Goratrix get for you that would outweigh the 11% increase to draw Goratrix in your opening crypt that removing Goratrix^ and adding another Goratrix wouldn't?

Jeff!

It's pretty close to what I played with some exceptions:

1. I played 3 Dreams and 7 Infernal Pact to get sup Temporis asap!
2. I played Summon History to fetch a Tye Cooper
3. I played 1-3 cap weenie dominate as support only and added Carvers Meat Packing and Storage, which just rocks. (no dragonbound ofc)
4. I've played Sense the Savage Way + Enkil Cog to be able to act in other players turns as well.

The Chainsaw was of course my main combat gear as well.

Ponticulus, Summon History and the support to Camarilla Tremeres. Tangle is also double plus good. No wakes? Sense the Savage Way?
