Angry Bird Ladies

This is a Talbot rush/toolbox deck based around having her rush almost every turn along with some of her friends. I'm looking for ideas about how to tweak it. There is a lot that I would have liked to fit, but all of the master cards that Talbot needs crowd out things like freak drive, stealth, damaging retainers, ritual challenge, scorpion sting, divine sign, etc. I used the Slaughterhouses to either feed Talbot's rush ability or to get the hell out of my hand, as needed.

1) How do you intend to oust?

Some combat ousting, a little bleeding to finish the job if necessary.

2) How do you intend to keep from being ousted?

Rush a lot, block. Send dudes to torpor and hopefully gain from it(Flames of Insurrection is awesome!)

3) What do you want your ready region to look like (ie, how many guys are you planning on getting out)?

Start out with two, get more if it seems safe. I'd say 2-3.

4) What do you want your average turn to look like?

Burn and/or play a master card, rush with Talbot, maybe rush with someone else too.

5) What's your metagame like? How do your opponents play?

It is all over the place. Usually not heavy combat, but it may be swinging more that way.

6) What problems have you observed with the deck in play?

I haven't played it yet, but there may not be enough combat. I could also be overrun by an early stealth bleed pred.

What do you think?

Instead of the slaughterhouses use something that you can play too, like life in the cities for example.

And, since Talbot's special combos with Aksinya's why not add Aksinya there?

dog pack. rats. trochomancy to hose girls decks. gangrel are hard to build. i used talbot in my ariadne eats the world deck, and she's good, but i'm not sure if she's allstar of combat deck (like torvus or enkidu) level of good. i'm seeing your combat module lacking a tad. more flesh of marble, one or 2 canine hoard, and don't run armor of vitality, because your allstar in a combat deck is a 7 cap, and flesh of marble with skin of night does more than anything other than rolling with the punches can. if you want to really screw up other combat, dead hand (in moderation) with an agg strike is commical, and unexpected. hope that helps. as far as winning, its a combat deck. you ding them with tension, fame, and dragonbound(although dragonbound is questionable since its harder to control who it hits) and you also have animalism, and thus bleed pump via tier of souls and deep song, and a pool hit to your prey during your untap with army of rats. just look through the twda at gangrel builds if your uncertain.

I thought about running some Special Report. Either use it to wake or to rush. Life in the City could be good, if drawn in the right order. I was somewhat concerned about having too many masters in hand at any given time (masters are almost 1/3 of the deck), so I wanted to have some that I could easily get rid of.
