I need just the right deck....

Never tried Uncoiling. Seems like a silver bullet that will most often be discarded (or in this case annexed... hmm).

Johannes taught me, Bahari-style, that what you write here is true - but when you do need it, and actually draw it, it can win you a game or ruin someone else's.

Yeah, the uncoiling seems like something you should always have. If everybody plays it, there's a good chance that someone in the table can remove that Unmasking/FBI BS.

Here's probably the final version. There was a lot of good advice, unfortunately only 90 cards fit in a deck

-1 lilith's blessing
+1 giant's blood (cheaper, hoses GB, fill up, fewer restrictions)
-1 two wrongs
+1 govern (I want to draw one early)
-1 far mastery
+1 Blood of Sandman (I probably don't care about retainers)
-1 fake-out
+1 rigo motus (stronger altogether)

On balance, masters went down by one, actions up by one. At a tournament I might throw uncoiling in there, but events aren't normally a problem. This last tournament, the only time I faced events that I didn't play was when my cross-table ally was playing imbued. I wanted him to use the unmasking to block the bad stuff my pred was doing, and he tried. Or did it even come out that game? I don't know.... I was playing an obt/dom bleed deck featuring The Rising at the time anyway.

4x Paul Cordwood 8 AUS DOM THA obf bishop, stealth/intercept
2x Preston Varrick 7 DOM OBF THA aus +1 bleed vs allies
Terrell Harding 7 AUS THA dom obf steal blood action
Selena 6 AUS DOM THA
Frondator 5 AUS dom tha bishop, her rescue actions cost 1 less
Mosfair 4 dom tha
Janine 4 aus dom tha
Ember Wright 3 aus dom

8x Mirror Walk
2x Veil the Legions
4x Cloak the Gathering
2x Into Thin Air
1x Seduction

Looks much better now.

My only remark would be that i would kick out the hexaped for another govern or rutor's hand. I do not believe he is worth a pool and an action, but that's just me.

I think that Paul Cordwood is one of the best vampires in the game (I'm a real fan). Which other vampire gives you the option of +1 intercept and +1 stealth on each action? Awesome.
To exploit his special best I chose to up the crypt and play with 15 cards. In most games it prove to be a decent number. If you include 5 copies of Paul you keep the ratio.
