This deck is missing Orlando Oriundus and maybe a few Telepathic Vote Counting. Any other suggestions?

I played something quite similar for a while, though I had more Banishments (and no Parity Shifts). I also used some of the blood denial allies to increase my ability to keep blood off of my opponnents' vampires: Young Bloods, Impundulu, Ossian, Greg Winter.

Not sure why you're using Wind Dance rather than Theft in a deck that also has Croc Tongue, Gabrielle and Banishment. Even if you keep them, a few copies of Carrion Crows would also go a long way, particularly in the endgame.

If nothing else, Ponticulus should be in every Tremere deck. I also put Ankara into every Tremere deck, but you've expressed dubiousness about that in that past.

Yeah I had a conversation with Bunter about it on IRC yesterday, I think some Crows + Theft would be great for the deck. Originally I was trying to keep the deck size down but I think that might not be necessary.

Dorrinal,
For what its worth, bringing this to a social game in Sydney will probably result in a swift combat death. A bit more combat (maybe an additional 8-12 cards) would give you some protection if the combat on the table got nasty.

To keep things going nicely my Lasombra Powerbleeder contains a moderate amount of hitback including about 6-8 Pushing the Limit, 6 Earthshock and 6-8 Taste of Vitae. I find it infuriates rush decks when they try to beat you into torpor and either you take them with you or walk away with almost the same blood after you punch hard and lick the blood off the fire-extinguishers.

Here is the new deck, based on your suggestions so far. Nothing sets up a Parity Shift like paying 4 pool for Thadius Zho. I added a little more combat, untap and vote offense, as well as two Telepathic Vote Counting.
