!Gangrel Swarm

Thanks for the input peeps.

Aranthebes, I really don't want to add BUT this deck will die if prey plays it. I think I'm gonna try to fit a couple in.

Swapping a few copies of TV for WWS seems like a fine idea. Pickman will also probably make it into the crypt.

Sunset Strip can give way to Frontal Assault and by that same token would allow me to replace Scrounging with Aranthebes. I like the idea of being able to cycle combat out of my hand with rushes from FA.

I've thought of adding a Gehenna module but I'm not sure I want to go higher in the total cards in library and am unsure about what to remove for them.

Well since I told KoKo I'd take a look at this idea last night, here I am. Originally this deck concept seems a bit weak on the power scale of what I see on JOL day to day. But with some tweaks it's got game against most of the common anti-weenie strategies. When he first told me about the deck I knew I wanted to include The Uncoiling as I see scourge of the enochians about half the games I play on JOL as anti-weenie tech. So this deck just tries to include answers to the most common anti-weenie tech. The delaying tactics were already there and are necessary. I had the count up to three on my first iteration but ended up cutting it back to two trying to keep the deck a bit tighter. Arenthebes is in since it's game over if he hits the table for your prey and gives you ONE source of intercept in the deck which is always nice. Took some of the suggestions in the response string. Games of instinct works very well in a deck like this so I included it as directed rush. I tossed in a few computer hacking just to screw up math for people who think your always going to bleed for one. Reduced the number of follow the alphas since it won't always be useful if you've got your prey pinned down for example. The Giant's blood is included because it's just a better life in the city that denies it to others who play big caps. Added some WWS for staying power. This deck will probably just die to a sniper rifle without some REAL luck and follow the alpha. Anyways here is my version. Think I tweaked the crypt to make it efficient to my tastes. You really want to draw at least three unique vampires and have them all in play so limiting dupes is good.
