Nice deck!

Do you really need the Jakes? I miss Dreams of the Sphinx in a 90 cards deck of that kind.

And I would try to squeeze in 2x Daring the Dawn, because it can be terribly helpful: For your two star vampires, but of course also for targets of Mind Rape.

Don't know yet. I didn't have a chance to play it for now. Jake is supposed to serve as early defence and blood gain.
Dreams would be nice but I think they are not that important with Capuchin's +2 hand size

Damn good idea! I just can't decide what to drop.

Ponticulus can't have or use equipment (as per cardtext), so Talbot's Chainsaw is out of question. I had a similar idea (and the same misconception) with Ponticulus teaming up with Tye Cooper and Ambrosius, but I guess I have to stick with the Giovanni allies.

Why?
All the vampires in the crypt can use the Chainsaw - even exchanging it with Heidelberg Castle, if you need to rush two victims in one turn.
Only Ponticulus cannot have or use it, but would offer himself as willing target for the damage the saw causes each untap phase.
Am I missing something?

Technically you are correct, but I think it is usually the best idea to give the chainsaw to the ally which is immune to regular damage. And with the chainsaw on the ally you need to inflict at least two aggravated damage in a given combat to kill the ally.
