I have actually ousted someone yesterday, but I got a real bad time with my next prey

I suggest making this an intercept/combat deck with aus/tha and aus/cel vampires for support, at least at first. I think it's a fun concept, but survival is a big problem. Your average crypt size is too big for a "rush deck", IMO.

Maybe you should try to get out either Yitzak or Melisande and tool up that one vampire for blocking. Bring out smaller !Toreadors for support and put in Palla Grandes for ousting power, some Presence bleed, and Art Scam for pool. Add Thaumaturgy skill cards. Get rid of Menele.

Just a guess - I've never played a !Toreador deck before.

So, I've changed the focus to block mostly with permacepts but put some reactions to engage stealth decks. Don't know if this is going to work but I'll try it out. See if you like.
