BH Assamite

I was just playing around with some Assamite cards and this is what I came up with. I think that Taste of Death could see a resurgence.

Deck Name: BH Assamite
Author: Brandon Haas
Description: This is a toolboxy bleed and block deck. If I play this, I will be sure to find a slot for Ivory Bow. Wall Street Night would also be a good addition vs votes, Govern at Dom, etc.

What about not playing Alacrity ? I understand some choices, but this one is odd - you'd better play some lost in crowds instead.

Also, Nails kind of sucks, have just , for 5 pool. I'd rather double on some other vampire or play Claudia instead.

Drop nails. Honestly, Nicomedes is better for dumping 5 pool on a random bh vamp with no relevant disciplines (inf obf isnt very relevant) because his specials great.

I know its a toolbox, buts its too much a bad toolbox at this point.

Less reaction, as in drop wwef, if you arent Rotsxhrecking, why are there 6 taste of death, alacrity seems just to be there so you have an excuse to play retain the quick blood(sidenote, i run 2 if i run that, because if you run one, you dont need it. Incidentally, you dont need it. Since 90% of the time, you have path of blood to mitigate blood costs on quietus, i only run this when i play up celerity combat amd use blur and resist earths grasp. Its cool to recoup foul blood, taste of death, and loss with it, but again, you run limited loss, no foul blood, and too many taste of death). So id make alacrity another resist earths grasp. You really could benefit from seraphs second here, and it use more loss. Also, unlesz you play in one of those twilight zone metas where everyone plays 2 majesty and a glancing blow to defend against presumably march halcyon and a stick, and theres no real combat, you should run some sideslip.
You can bloat some, but winning may need more than 4 loss, since normal bloatbox tactics typically run jack and monty, neither of which you can defend. I may recxomend powerbase barranquilla though, since its less a good target crosstable, and with your reacting it looks like you may want to block your predator.
