This is a dumb idea I had where I make Enkidu an and beat people up with hand agg and lots of presses, neef to fit Heidelberg in here and then test it out, tear apart as you see fit.

I understand that you have other Gangrel and !Gangrel in the crypt so that the Feral Spirits don't become completely dead cards once Enkidu has become a cat lady, but having no one in the crypt who can play any of the 42(!) cards in the deck which require Spiritus or Ahrimanes, and only having five Feral Spirit out of ninety cards, seems like a total nutpunch. It seems very likely that you won't be able to cycle the half of your deck that you literally can't play at all to get to the few cards that allow you to play the rest. Essentially, you've got a really massive boulder resting on a really tiny lever here.

What's the point of making Enkidu an Ahrimane, given that he can already do what you mention in the deck's description (beat people up with hand agg and lots of presses) without needing to have Spiritus/Ahrimaneness? Is it focused on being a joke deck? I ask this not in the spirit of jerkitude but because it's difficult to give advice when it's not really clear what your motivation here is.

Well I kinda threw this together and didn't really think it all the way threw,I can use most of the out-ferior's on the cards, but yeah, 2-3 more Feral Spirit might be a good idea. I'm thinking of dropping the Ashur's for 2 Feral Spirit's and 2 Heidelberg. The other card slots going to combat, but I'm not sure about dropping them.

First, don't worry about being a jerk, I said rip it apart for a reason. Second, I said it was a "dumb idea" because every time I see Feral Spirit, I want to build this deck, that and theirs a player in my play group who has a bit of a hate-on for Enkidu, so I wanted to build something he hasn't seen yet.

I'll echo what Kushiel said (why would you bolt on Spiritus in order to give +1 strength to a vampire that already hits for 3 at a cost of one blood when he could just use Potence instead?) and add that I agree that you should drop the Ashurs. Unless you face a whole lot of Brinksmanship where you are, there's never a reason to add Ashurs to a deck that runs 90 cards.

I already explained why I want to, but to elaborate, I like build decks that will be a challenge to play as well as fun to play, when I turn the big bad ass dragon into a girl, people at the table will wonder what the hell I'm doing, this works in my favor.

Also, I run Ashur's in 90 card because I deck 90 card decks all the time, did it last Friday with a wall deck. Really depends on how you play, I cycle as much as possible for many reasons, digging, reaction to what others are playing, feinting that I could do something that I plain on not doing, ext.

Consider adding 3x Muricia to at least increase the chances that Enkidu becomes more quickly.

Maybe a crypt with:
4x Enkidu
3x Muricia
1x weenie
X weenie

With some Wider View, it can work.
