AUS/NEC/QUI Toolbox

How do you intend to oust?
Bleed for 2-3 with Truth of Blood about twice per turn. There's a bit of stealth here to get those through. Otherwise, bruise blocker. Trochomancy for that extra bleed of 4-5 pool.

What do you want your ready region to look like?
Anisa and Tariq quite obviously.

How do you intend to survive?
Rush backwards if pred shows signs of aggressiveness. Light intercept can stop a few actions here and there as well.

Notes: This is not a Tariq deck so while some elements appear, others are lacking. The true star is Anisa who really starts to hurt prey badly once you get superior auspex on her. That should not take too much time considering the number of Aura Readings that are packed in a 70-card deck. They should be used to avoid wasting/cycle combat and/or to get the occasional ToD/Amaranth burn.

I opted for the shotgun because I see a lot of long range combat and Ivory bow's single aggravated damage is often prevented. The shotgun can also hit hard for 5 with a well placed Target Vitals. The weak part of the deck IMHO is the master module. Dream of the Sphinx can be something else given that I cycle quite well already. It also lacks pool gain with only one copy of Golconda for dire times. This being a superstar deck with no quick ways of gaining blood, I am hesitant about Villein. Another possibility is to add more Golconda's and either Soul Gem of Etrius (since I play with master discipline cards) or simply Possession but I've never tried a Golconda/Possession deck and am not too clear how many copies I should be running of each and if it's actually considered a reliable way of gaining pool.

I really want to play Draught of the Soul but am not sure how often this deck will be burning opposing vampires. Having said that, a weenie deck will suffer against Anisa's special and it is perhaps the only reason why I'm still considering Draught.

Would really appreciate your thoughts on the deck, especially on the Master side of things and perhaps other potential combos/venues I can introduce without hampering the bleed/stealth aspect of things. Cheers!

Golconda and Possession don't interact in that order.
Golconda removes the vampire from the game.

Now, Possession and then Golconda is great fun.

Thanks for clearing that up. Guess it won't work for this deck then. I don'T want to get into daring the dawn trickery. I'm currently thinking of reducing combat package. What do you think of Nightstick + Blood Tempering as a way to save slots and have somewhat of static offensive/defensive weapon? Or should I just stick to long range aggravated?

You're missing one of the best Necromancy actions in the game - Divine Sign. Since you untap from it, it's seriously awesome. And seeing an opponent's hand is ridiculously valuable.

-1 harika
+1 tariq advanced
+1 (or +2) wider view

Making him cap 7 instead of 3 is worth the extra hassle IMHO.
