How do you intend to oust?
Steady pressure on my prey with bleeds and enticement. I'll steal a minion or two and cash them in via Khobar Towers if I get a chance.

How do you intend to keep from getting ousted?
Saqqaf's special will gain me a pool a turn. There is some other potential pool gain (Khobar Towers, Vessel, Eternals of Sirius), some bleed reduction and vote defense.

What do you expect your ready region to look like?
Saqqaf plus one other FoS. Saqqaf has to be anarch and it would help if the other one is, too.

What is my metagame like?
It is varied.

What do you think?

I have a few concerns:
- it doesn't handle well some powerbleed or bleed stealth. Adding some Archon Investigation and an Aranthebes could do some good. Consider playing Friend of Mine instead of Banner of Neutrality (:for: anarch: 1 blood, reduces a bleed by 2) or Scobax (:pre: Reduce a bleed against you by 1.)
- it looks quite blood intensive, even with the Principia Discordia
- No trace is not a very good. Think about playing more presence and some Staredown. Or you may consider playing Tongue of the Serpent that works quite well and empties opposing vampires too (add some Leather Jacket)

Additional suggestions:
- Hesha Ruhadze would work fine
- I'd replace the Vessel by Blood Dolls, and add 1 BD
- Impudulu is great (even if it costs blood)

I think you are right about No Trace, it should be Majesty or Staredown. I think I was originally planning on having OBF weenies accompany Saqqaf.

On defense, it is depending on bloat a fair amount. A power bleeder would destroy this deck.
