Gangrel - Royal Garous

Deck based on old recruit garou and play parity shift concept. With Xaviar there is at last a good crypt for gangrel royalty (katarina is just awful and angus not too good). Added deflections as half of the crypt has dominate and you can never go wrong with few deflections.

I would probably up the number of freak drives considerably, since when your playing huge fatties like that, you really want to get more out of them than one action per turn. Makes your Cog lot more powerful also. 7 parity shifts is likely too many, you only got 4 garous anyway.

Mark Decker isn't here why exactly ? CEL PRO for and Prince title with 8 capacity. IMO better than brunhilde in this deck. Plus, he, xaviar and stani can all play instanteous and forced march.

Alastor -> Ankara Citadel, then up fream drives

I plan on doing Xavier and 3 princes, after I build Inyanga fun.

So, plan is to P shift, play a garou to drop to lower pool, shift more?

Slava seems wasted here. She COULD churn out gtu pool, bleed big, vote, and use 2 free untaps.

Xavier and princes can use the basic concept fine. Hell, maybe even do torpor olympics and refill (or just play abactor)

You could cut in Taking the skin: minion for Xavier for kicks.

there is actually 10 untap cards in the deck (6 freak drives, 2 forced marches and 2 instantenous transformation). And Xaviar has build in untap after succesfull vote. Should be fine.
Also parity shifts combos very nicely not only with garous but with zillah's valley

Mark Decker isn't here why exactly ?

that's a great question. I missed this guy totally. I would definetely put some copies in and increase number of instantenous transformations.

Slava seems wasted here. She COULD churn out gtu pool, bleed big, vote, and use 2 free untaps.

I think she still belong here with her 4 votes and +2 bleed. In deck centered around her she can be used to much broader extend but that would mean different deck, less princes stuff, etc. And this would be nothing new as well, as Stanislava is propably the most used Gangrel in TWDA decks.

updated version (Mark Decker get the slots he deserves and I added extra transformation for untap/ stealth and one more garou for better parity shift synergy. Also included Temptation of Greater Power which was missing in first version):
