Lasombra vote deck

Main reason for this deck - I got old lasombra crypt and got no Baltimore purges, but still want to play them. So It looks like stealth-vote.

As a base for it I think we can take Brandon's deck from some time ago:

What I want to change (except putting some lulz cards like San Nicolas de los Servitas):
+1 Moncada
+1 Francisco
+1 Tobias Smith
-1 Angelica
-1 Alvaro
-1 Guido

To have 6 minions with PRE, so it became possible to add Iron Glares/Voter Captivations. How many is it better to add 4/4?, 6/6?

Or it'll break the card flow of the deck?

+1 Entrancement

+1 Goblin
Why there is no goblin in the original deck?

Also I don't get the point of 2 seductions. Are they really needed?

7 deflections + 5 murmurs looks too much. Drop to like 6+4, or even 5+3?

+1 Master. Giant blood is not played most of the time.

Deck looks solid. Have you thought about some of the Ventrue Anti or Kiasyd with Obten and Dominate? As for Seductions, they can always be useful if you have that tooled up Intercept monster to deal with. Maybe some more KRCs would be my only other suggestion.

The agree that the murmers are bordering on too much. It was an experiment on my part to see how many I could play and still be an effective deck. Part of the reason for this is to keep the blood cost down, which can be an issue for lasombra.

Try playing the deck as is, at least to begin with. Leave enough blood on your guys so that they can function the rest of the game. Leave in giant's blood, it is a no-brainer for decks with fatties like this and with 73 cards you can get GB+villein more often than you think. The deck is a toolbox with lots of bounce, something that fit my style well at the time.

For a more presence-based version I would use perfect paragon + voter cap. Iron glare is OK in moderation, but doesn't work as well as bounce+bleed.

Fyi- I am treating this forum as partly a blog for a few reasons these days.
1- blogspot changed format and I don't like it
2- greater readership/feedback on the forum
3- to encourage use of the forum
4- I can post more intermittently and not feel bad.

Glad you enjoyed the deck.
