!Toreador filth

Okay, i am definitely inventing hot water here, but after i have finally obtained enough embraces, i simply have to make this deck, especially since i started playing vtes with a mix of Toreador and !Toreador starters. B)

Anyway, gimme some advice. I would definitely like to keep the deck to the 80 card limit.

How does it look like?

I would take out Ian, he is sort of crap for this deck being 6 cap with only basic auspex, replace with either Greta for someone who can enchant down to all others and has nice special, or with Carter to get one more weenie. Switch force of personalities to more change of targets, or dodges, your embraces don't have presence anyway. All your wakes should be Eyes of Argus since only reason you want to wake is to bounce, and you need AUS or that anyway. At the very least change the wwef and fillip to eyes of argus. I would also probably replace one or both of hungry coyote and liliths blessing with Jake Washington instead. 15 masters is quite a lot for 80 cards so you likely wont have spare MPAs to use the blessing anyway.

I was thinking the same about Ian. Only i cannot decide between Greta (a bit big) and carter.
I cannot go all-out on eyes of argus, as waking and chump blocking a rusher with embrace can save my ass. aLso, waking to use delaying is better on non- AUS guys, as it saves blood on them needed to flick.

Maybe more change of target would be good. Hungry coyote is , i think too good to pass in a deck that has blood management problems, but excellent point about lilith's blessing. Maybe it would indeed be better as Jake.

Also, I could see Dream World of two there instead of one Entrancement and/or Art Scam. With six or seven minions and Palla Grande working, Dream World might give an unpleasant surprise for your prey during lunge.

I agree with Lilith's. There is no reason to go every single time with the trends. It's a good card, fair enough, but not fit for every single deck out there.

Ian's on a bit of a weird side, yeah. Maybe Greta? She's just so good. Jost's a good one there, though. +1 Stealth is awesome.

I duly agree with your opinion about Eyes of Argus. I don't understand why some people keep 8 Eyes of Argus in a deck, just because it's 'better than other wakes'. Sure, it's good, but you can't combine the inferior and superior effects, and in thsi deck in particular the weeners can't use them to full effect. And I'd always throw an embrace in the way of a scary Brujah, than, say, Mercy.

People, there is no need to use cards solely because they're 'in general better than the other one'. Metagaming's stupid. How Eyes of Argus are seen being played sometimes is a major example of the downsides of metaing and blindness of real life situations, in comparison to comparing the theoretical value of cards.

Just saying!

Exactly my thoughts about eyes of argus.

I have a dislike for Dream world, but it is purely theoretical. Say palla grande is in play, and i have 5 minions, all bleeding for 2, no modifiers. Total bleed for 10.
Now, instead, first plays sup. Dream world, and others (if successful) then bleed for a total of 12, with net gain of 2 more pool (as the first one didn't bleed, and i have no multiact unless block-majesty). But, if the second one is blocked, dream world goes away, and my lunge has failed completely.

I have never played it, but if the others have some insightful tactics, or hints, please, do share! I am willing to learn

Your deck dies horribly to Scourge of the Enochians. I'd add 1-2x Uncoiling.
