Skulls in the Stars (G2 Harbringer)

This is a toolbox deck that uses a lot of masters and attempts to use Maabara and Erciyes Fragments to play what it needs. It's a slow ouster and the deck tends to be expended in the first oust, after that I should have a lot of permanents on the table. Gathering all that junk is key, and losing it really sucks, the last time I had good position otherwise but I was owned by two Canine Hordes which destroyed my .44 Magnums.

There are several single card tricks here that are supposed to be re-used with Maabara (just think about how a KRC deck is going to oust when you get Delaying Tactics back every turn).

Protecting Maabara is critical as it can only be re-gained with Sargon Fragment. If I would have more Maabara's, they would be here, the same goes for Agaitas, The Scholar of Antiquities whose ability I'd like to use more. Unre is Here kind of only because she has superior disciplines, which is not that much to say about a 9-cap bishop... Ashur Tablets are out of the question, I find it too probable to run in to some Anson deck that has 15 in it. Speaking of which, I like the idea of messing with such a deck with Trochomancy. Does that mean it's going to backoust me, that's not good...

In my experience, this deck doesn't have trouble cycling, and the basic idea seems to work.

A flaw in this deck is that everything important can be destroyed and it's pretty bad if your prey is one of those people hellbent on hitting their predator. Don't hit me I don't have dominate hleurgh

G4-5 would give you Mordechai, Babalawo, Solomon, Nicomedes, Neighbor John and Andre Leroux. Most of them have insanely useful specials, while g2-3 has specials that are likely to piss your prey off.

Do you even need to go for vampires ? G4-5 have many great AUS NEC vampires.

Like Sennadurek with and great special (and bh membership), Zygodat with

Not necessarily, but I don't have any of those, and I like the option of using my prey's cards with Agaitas. Well, neither do I have more Spiritual Interventions... But Fortitude adds the option of bypassing a vampire-based wall which otherwise wouldn't exist in this deck.

In addition to these, I only possess G6 Harbringers, which I found worse.

Most of your vampires would have fortitude anyway. Just those two vampires wouldn't have it. And you use just single copy of it.

You can use 2 laibon vampires in few copies (3 and 2) and play strange day for unblockable action instead.

Breath of Thanatos to make your opponents think twice before making d-actions against you. If it doesn't hurt to steal the Powerbase everybody will try.
