Despite the name, there are no satyrs here. Basically, Marcus Vitel and his... ah associates, do some politics on both sides of the fence, with lots of bonus bleed from vampire specials as a back up plan, with some shadow puppeteering as either chump blockers or extra bleed, whichever is needed.

My original idea was to make a lasombra vote deck, but then I started to think that if I replace Moncada with Marcus, I get ventrue hq and parity shifts, which are pretty useful, and also possibly +1 bleed to all my other vampires, depending on what my prey is playing. Anyway, suggestions and such welcome. I kind of just throwed this together and haven't tested it any so there is probably room for improvement. Especially I am not all that sure of the ratios, I might have too much stealth and not enough actions. Some entrancements and couple more nocturns might be good to squeeze in at least.

I'd decrease library size to 70-80, because I honestly doubt you would call 13+ PAs during a game...

Also, I'd keep 1.5-ish stealth card per PA ratio or even less, because you already have your accelerator Masters to jam with.

I'd perhaps replace Deflections with Murmurs. They are easier to cycle and helps to reduce your jam further. Imagine jamming on accelerators, stealth, votercaps AND deflections (these are more than half of your deck!).

!malk! :OBF: :DEM: :cel: :cap6: Sabbat. If this vampire's bleed is successful, he laughs manicly and untaps.

Yeah, that looks more sturdy. I'd even try to find a 60-card formula for a perfect cardflow, and then add cards depending on your metagame (e.g. more votes, more stealth, more entombment, etc.).

I use to play a deck like this awhile back...Dia de los Muertos,
and/or Mylan Horseed might be worth considering. I would try to up the majesty's to 5-6.
