1) How do you intend to oust?

Bleed at stealth (using mostly the outferior of DoE) and prevent prey to gain pool via master cards by playing Wash and Rewind Time.


2) How do you intend to keep from being ousted?

Deflection and Rewind Time.

3) What do you want your ready region to look like (ie, how many guys are you planning on getting out)?

Krassimir (tooled up with Ankara Citadel and hopefully a helicopter) and at least two other obf/dom minions.

4) What do you want your average turn to look like?

Bleed with Krassimir, untap and stay open for playing Rewind Time. Then bleed with the other minions (at stealth with Domain of Evernight). Now and then Krassimir does some Temporis tricks.
One other trick is let Krassimir bleed, nobody wants to block because of the DoE plus OtH-combo, then take over with Mo1K and play Cond. Then bleed again with Krassimir.

5) What's your metagame like? How do your opponents play?

Was combat heavy, is normal tournamentstuff at the moment. Bleed heavy, sometimes pol. actions at stealth. Often Villeins for poolgain + bigcaps.

6) What problems have you observed with the deck in play?

Was toasted by a combat deck. Has maybe too few Domain of Evernights. Could use some good/clever input for more effectiveness. Normally preventing the prey gaining pool and bleed mildly should do the trick. I'd like to add Graverobbing for when somebody blocks and goes to torpor. But then I don't have room for the other important actions like Summon History or simple bleed actions.
I tried that deck with Giovanni but failed, as you can't use the outferiors of DoE and OtH and so have quite many cards only Krassimir can play. Bad.

Erm, does everybody think this deck is at its best?

Or doesn't it inspire you guys because it's just another dom/obf what you can do better with Malks?

Well, first thing is : add some Wider View, because the deck look completely impotent without krassimir.

And then, a couple of question.
* is Ankara really worth it ? I know, all the cool kid on the street play it with Summon history, but you have 2 other target at best, so it seem a big waste. Yes, yes, it's cool to not pay bleed modifier, and only one blood for rewind time, but still it seem bloody expensive action-wise.
* don't you fear not having enough wake ? You only have 4 of them, and leaving Krassimir untapped just to play reaction seem to add to the slowness of the deck.

For me, the biggest problem is that Krassimir have neither nor so it look kind of gimmicky. Trying to cram two differents deck in one seem difficult and problem-prone, especially when no vampire can play efficiently everything.

Hm, the thing is ALL the cards are costing blood, RT, Deflection, GtU, Cond. so I should save 7 blood or more in a game just for the cards without taking SH into account. Okay, an action and 2 blood is not that cheap. But I think it is worth it.

Playing wake-cards isn't the plan, because RT doesn't work with a Wake against Masters. So Krass. has got to stay untapped if I want to target master cards.

Absolutely agree. Discipline masters maybe? I'm glad that at least temp and obf can go together a bit in this deck. But I don't think that Krass. needs obf as he likes to get blocked .

You're right, but do you need the seven saved blood ? Other deck do quite well and spending an action is not exactly part of the plan. It's not like you are that resilient to your predator, so speed is important.

Also, given the way the deck is supposed to work, I would just ditch summon history, the three equipment, and Kiss of Lachesis, for 8 more Domain (if you have them, of course ...). You're supposed to burn throught them pretty quickly, since you need them both if you are blocked or if you aren't.

You're right, my memory was too foggy. So, it scream "METRO UNDERGROUND", since it seem the most efficient way to have a permanent untap for Krassimir, and it will help a lot. The other one being Clotho's gift + Vessel.

You have four SH and one Ankara to mitigate blood loss, but no way to guarantee that you'll get the action through. If the entire purpose of SH is to reduce blood loss, I think you'd be better served turning those five cards into some combination of Perfectionist/Life in the City/The Coven. Perfectionist is huge in a deck like this.
