file Toreador Bleed Deck

I'm toying around with the idea of an Annabell-based bleed deck:

Annabelle Triabell
AUS CEL PRE for dom
Toreador
Capacity: 9
Group: 3
Camarilla primogen: Annabelle can give Toreador vampires +1 bleed for the remainder of the turn as a +1 stealth action that costs 1 blood. If that action is successful, Annabelle untaps.

Her special is so useful that I could even see doing it as a four minion card limit deck featuring Enchant Kindred, Majesty, Wake and Telepathic Misdirection. It would be tap and bleed with some Aching Beauty to discourage blocking her, plus an assortment of useful master cards. One problem is that there are not enough cheap Toreadors in groups 2, 3, or 4 with PRE to make the deck as effective as I would like.

Another approach might be to feature princes who can make Progeny with Presence skill cards. This involves more moving parts, but the advantage is that you can get out a lot of minions (assuming that you are not blocked all the time). I did a neat trick with a storyline deck where I gave the Progeny no blood, but only a skill card. On the next master phase, I used Lillith's Blessing to give them PRE and fill them up. Toreador are pretty resilient, I feel like I might be able to pull this off.

Any advice for these two deck ideas you guys can think of?

Thanks,

Brandon

How about using a few Caitiff and Revelation of the Sire instead of using Princes and Progeny?

Hm... Now we're headed into Clan Impersonation territory. Group 3/4 has some good guys with PRE, or I could do weenie pre. The reason that I hesitate with Revelation of the Sire is that it uses up Annabelle's actions(at least at first) and it is at zero stealth. Good idea, inspiring at least.

I have quite well working toreador bleed deck which uses Annabelle, although she is the smallest vampire in the deck.

Toreador Grand Ball + Freakd Drive. Annabelle, on a good turn, can make all toreadors bleed for +1, enchant knidred down, embrace. She can call herself the justicar title and begin the progeny train or bring out a prince who uses TGB to bring out progeny. I don't think the presence on the progeny is completely necessary if you can get Annabelle to give them all +1 bleed, which is why embrace may be good too. Of course, people see Annabelle and a few childer and they will try to shut it down before it gets out of hand. The enchant kndred can be used to bring out 4,5, or 6 caps a little more easily if you don't have enough crypt options in the 2-3 cap range.
