Crypt like this and not a single solitary Wider View in sight??? You've used six trifle slots, but there's still room for a few.

And I think four Zillah's Valleys is too little. Either go hog wild with them (so you're almost sure to have one in your opening hand), or leave them out altogether and contest Information Highway instead.

why did you choose Assamites for this deck? Looks like it's AUS CEL alastor deck. You could have wonderfull crypt using Alexandra and Anneke. Also torreador grand ball is great for such a build. Going assamite angle makes it muuuuch weaker.

He would need to change the combat module quite a lot then, and it would certainly be weaker.

Selective Silence and Sanguine Entrapment are both weak cards for this deck. If you want to be at range rely on Pursuit which seconds as an additional strike. Psyche is better with your guns because Dodge or S:CE is not likely to hurt you, so restarting combat or adding a strike is just better.

You need Ivory Bow, either to use it or contest it. Legendary Vampire is not that great because of the timing, pool cost and oot master. Black Throne would be good here for the vote push. I would also focus on blocking more to defend yourself. On the QUi Vive belongs in here, as does bowl of convergence. Zephyr would not be bad.

For stealth I like Into Thin Air or maybe Swallowed by the Night because it can be used for the maneuver.

The deck is for testing the new cards. Entrapment stays since dodge is enough of a common annoyance while S:CE will sit and clog my target's hand. Silence stays to avoid grapple, but adding Pursuit instead of Blur looks much better. Legendary should be either increased or nixed, so I will add my one Black Throne and add Wider Views. I agree Bow and Bowl need to be in. Into Thin Air is good for these fatties but hesitant because of AAA and Lambach. Actually thinking of using Forgotten Labyrinth along with Swallowed. Why do you think Qui is better than Black Sunrise for this crypt?

Based on all comments, New Version. Heart of Cheating added to Alastor up ASAP. Also +1 Disguised Weapon.
