After stepping back and looking at it, I think I need more Taste of Vitae and 1 or 2 Claws of the Dead at the expense of some of the actions. If the blood generation module works out, Wynn doesn't have to be a freak driving superstar.

This looks like fun. like you say, if the blood gaining works out you should be fine with one or two rush from Wynn per turn. I think. I've been trying to think of ways to fill up after Grooming. This is nice and not as cliche as grooming + voter cap.

I think you would need some more permanent +damage, like murder of crows, gangrel revel, or something. As it is you aren't likely to taste for more than 3. If you add couple more murders, then you could also add a few Muricia's Calls, or Pack Alphas to get them more smoothly.

Try to add a Monster and Change one of the Weenies for Katarina or Faruq so it is not a one Man Show. Zack North is also a better option then Bear Paw or Roman Alexander, cause of his +1 strenght and pot.

TorranceCircle: Taste of Vitae is not so reliable - this deck really doesn't want to see heavy fortitude - but it's what I got from the other thread.

Klaital: The deck already has 1 Murder, 1 Ritual Challenge and 1 Preternatural Strength. Furthermore, I don't really care about tasting for more than 3 - that is enough to pay for my Grooming the Protege and it leaves blood on Wynn for Freak Drive, retainers, etc. But I will definitely consider using Pack Alpha instead. Thanks.

Azrael: This deck doesn't really rely on so I don't see how Zack North is all that better than Roman Alexander. Bear Paw was chosen for the sweet, sweet Carrion Crows and Deep Song at . I certainly won't put in another large vampire -- the point of Grooming is to bring out a swarm.
