Malkavian Royalty will make you obedient :-)

I made this deck two days ago, and in 3 games i scored 1GW 5 vp. Although, one of them i do not really count, as i spent that one with imbued as my predator, and shambling hordes as prey . You might guess how that one went

The idea is simple. Block stuff with second traditions, use obedience and mental maze to stay untapped, then act under madness network.
Govern down first, vote a little (passing krc and parity shifts should not be a problem with a little table talk, 5-7 votes of your own, and TVC), deflect big bleeds, and bleed at stealth if necessary. Allies are a bit of a problem, but hey, what can you do? Maybe i should add 1 Far mastery?

Gimme your comments, how to improve on the concept (and don't say enkil cog, i do not have one )

You could use autonomic mastery to deal with allies, or far mastery, the former is a bit more widely usable, but the latter is stronger when it works. Where is Leandro and Mariel? Also I would replace the telepathic vote countings with Old Friends.

You are consuming a damn lot of blood with this deck. I would consider adding a Papillon. That would also help you to go blow your preys pool in the midgame.

I'm guessing they were omitted on purpose since they can't use neither 2nd Tradition nor Parity Shift...

Like Kiddo said, neither Leandro or Mariel cannot can play traditions, and Leandro only has inferior dominate, which does not play well with the rest of the deck. And Mariel has no title, and is 7-cap.

I think TVC is stronger in this deck. As Mephistopheles noticed, this deck burns blood of my vampires, and i hate the "no replace" clause of old friends, and it is only two votes, while with TVC you can cancel an inner circle. Plus, TVC is easier to recycle, and i really do not feel that i need bleed boost that Old friends provide in this deck. ( i have DOM, you notice )

Pappilon is definitely to be considered. For all that is worth, i never managed to run my vamps dry in 3 games (unless rushed by shambling horde ), but they did start to empty out. Plus, it can help set up my Parity shift. My only concern is that, 'round here, a lot of people like to use Pappilon, so contest may be issue. Perhaps a hunting ground (though i dislike using generic hunting grounds, except in some very specialised situations)?

Maybe Coven, Giant's blood ( though i hate to play GB lottery)?

Good things, keep suggestions coming!

You know, i kinda know your metagame, being from Croatia, and I don't quite get how do you manage these kind of decks without at least some kind of combat defense. You have relatively low count of stealth modifiers, you're bound to get into combats, even without anyone rushing you and your vampires aren't what you'd call expendable.And yes, I'm thinking No Traces here, at least 6 of them.
