1x Perfectionist would go well in the deck to top off Gustaphe. And it rhymes.

I would rather go for Monster or Cavalier for a rush and a Govern per turn.

I would be worried about chump blocks on the rushes. Good players will try to deny big Tastes after Villeining or getting Heroic Might, which might eventually lead to Gustaphe wasting turns on hunts. Guardian Angel would help against that. It's expensive but you can afford to Villein for 2 more if your second master is Guardian Angel. Also synergizes nicely with Monster.

2 blood on top of Villeins and whatnot is a lot when there's bats and crows flying all over the place.

I may be picturing a deck that paces itself more. Any time I see a combat deck that hemorrhages blood that fast, I get worried. If you have Perfectionist and POT, you may get a few free Governs. The lack of stealth in the deck does take away from it's usefulness. If you are using a significant amount of NOS, Labyrinth may be a good choice.

I might focus more on group 4-5 nos crypt, then you could use the awesome Warsaw Station to get free freaks after your superior governs. Alonso Petrodon, Gustaphe Brunelle, Echo, and Harold Tanner all have dominate and superior potence.

Or well, you could even add Warsaw to this deck you have now, as Gustaphe will be doing most of your governing stuff anyway likely, and people will likely be reluctant to block him after seeing few of your combats. It also has the added bonus of being able to pull him out from torpor in emergency.

Or getting blood from Carver's Meat Packing Plant, gaining increasing amounts as that scenario repeats in later turns.

Why would Gus to hemo that badly? The Villeins shouldn't go on him anyway. He gets the Blood Doll, so you can push ON if needed. I would run him at 4+ blood all the time.

The superior Villein choice is to influence up a midcap chump with Gus' Governs and a pool or two. Villein it to 1 blood and hunt the next turn. If someone blocks, [POT] kicks in. They better do more than 2 damage, or they are risking Signpost/Grapple/Taste, which will probably all be played in the first combat for demonstration purposes
