Laibon Harbingers Tap Bleed

I would make Babalawo Alafin and Solomon Batanea your main vampires, include the bleed defense of your choice and remove forced march and possiblily narrow minds depending on your chosen D#, bounce(flick), reduce/bounce cancel or block.

it's a classic crypt for using Keystone Kine, I'm surprised you didn't go for that angle. you're not using much Laibon tech, so replacing it with Anarch tech would open up a lot more options.

Latest version of the deck. A lot more resilient to bleed decks; still loses to combat or politics. Will consider adding 2-3 Delaying Tactics.

Interesting, probably impossible to read, but why no spiritual intervention or even fortitudexprevent?

Id say you NEED dts, since all you can do is bounce a few bleeds and never block something with combat abilities without being afraid.....

I seemed to have missed this thread the first time around. I only mention this as I think this version has some of the same issues as the prior.

I didn't understand the lack of Wider Views the first time around, still don't see why they aren't in here. Taking a step back, the deck is simply not going to have versatility - it's essentially a midcap deck that will succeed when it functions like winnie horde bleed decks. It's entirely forward focused, which means it needs to win the "race".

But, it doesn't have the speed winnie decks do. Really should have Dreams of the Sphinx for both acceleration and hand tuning. Could run Info Highway, though it's kind of a crap shoot whether it does anything for the deck.

While the pool cost is concerning, I'm amazed you took out Heidelberg. Heidelberg makes you oust much faster. I'm also not remotely impressed by Ancestor Spirit. For one thing, it's not Heidelbergable.

5x Trochomancy

Seems like at least two too many. I'd rather try some recursion tech than increase the risk of choking on these.

1x Pulse of the Canaille
3x Eyes of Argus
6x Telepathic Misdirection

For someone who plays a ton of Auspex, preaches bleed bounce, and squeezes TM into any decks that seem Auspexy, I'm still not in favor of this shoehorn.

If you are going to go bleed bounce, don't just tease it, seize it - run at least six wakes. Also, Pulse doesn't interest me that much, either, unless you were being techy by thinking of the inferior uses.

Why no Spectral Divinations? I thought they were a crucial splash in the first draft, but with some random intercept from your reactions, Spectral Div becomes a lot more interesting as a way to actually block some actions.
