I'm a bit surprised by the absence of Amaranth .
How often did this get into play and how regularly did it matter?

The deck clearly needs some more tweaking and I was also surprised everything went so well. I wanted to play Amaranths but I couldn't find the slots for them. In the end, I didn't need any, as when I could, I torporised every single one of my opponents and when there were prevents all around, I died miserably to a !ventrue grinder. In the finals, Martin Major sat behind me with Eze and the top seed turbo war ghoul was my prey. One can easily point out that I have no cards against allies whatsoever so they (and their Slow Withering) really took their toll on me, but constant rescue, long range two agg and my 2 strengths took the War Ghouls down to a controllable level. That's when a bleed of six and the next turn a deflection and bleeds for 2 were enough and 90 seconds later time came.

I would throw out the rumbles, increase the governs, throw out the fortschritt+heart's blood package and force in a monster, more enkil and a watchtower four ride forth. Some indomitability wouldn't hurt either, any maybe some still the mortal flesh.

Built-in first strike is very strong and well underestimated
