file Assamite Malkavian deck tune up help

You need to be able to apply pressure. This looks more QUI Obf cel, and I'll try to keep it so and stay within your given card pool. If you could add newer cards, that'd be helpful particularly Confusion of the Eye to support with Telepathic Counter and Foul Blood.

Spying Mission. You need to apply bleed pressure and this helps. Fun stuff to bleed at 1, Spying Mission to store the bleed for later, draw out a laptop and wait. Lunge for 4 or more when the time is right. It also mitigates bounce a bit in an emergency. And it is stealth in a pinch. Jyhad/VTES uncommon.

Laptops & Computer Hackings. Again, to apply bleed pressure. There's ways to finesse these cards, but CH is great all around surprise forward pressure. Laptop is great permanent forward pressure considering your card pool. Jyhad/VTES commons.

Change of Target & Flash. ways to recover actions, or at least play nice with your grand-prey, from bounced bleeds.

Agg damage is useful if you have chump diablerie, which is present here in Malk weenie babies. But you have little vote to survive it and eventually you'll realize the game is about reducing pool not vaporizing minions. Often waiting alone has minions diminish blood and life totals, so use combat pressure sparingly instead of so.ely.

Your lack of Fame is bewildering considering your build. However, learning to bleed and take the long game will serve you better than supporting your combat addiction here. I'd rather teach you better basics than throw you into combat deck challenges leaving you and the rest of the table frustrated.

Disguised Weapon combat. Bring out cheap permanents to augment damage. Jyhad/VTES commons.

Disease + Traps combat. Attrition combat getting more blood off the table. AH common & Jyhad/VTES common.

Foul Blood to threaten hunts. AH uncommon.

Telepathic Counter & Telepathic Misdirection. bleed reduce and bleed bounce, nice mix of both to stay alive and threaten responses. Remember, you have more reaction time on the table than action time, use that. Jyhad/VTES commons.

Atonement. permanent intercept, stay up from same age or younger, extra defense threat. great stuff. AH common.

Vulnerability. one of the few ways Assamites have to get around the blood curse, another being Sacrificial Lamb. This one is mainly to take advantage of your predator's vampire being sent to torpor. Like Sac Lamb, you need maybe 1 or 2 copies max though, not mission critical. Jyhad/VTES uncommon?

Delaying Tactics. you need a response to votes just in case.

THANK YOU. Iam working those cards in though i am doing duels with two pksyer games at the time so i will be replacing the bleed bounce cards. So i am thinking Night moves to get a bleed through then play the spy mission.. Is that kosher..? I got a helicopter which allows a bleed to follow a bums rush.

If you are quoting, press on quote, not reply, else your responses are just hanging in mid air with no context.

That aside, Fame is basically dropped on a squishy prey vamp. You put in torpor, your prey burns 3 pool
you rescue it, put it in torpor again, they burn another 3.
