Ravnos toolbox

So continuing on decks using the new cards, here is my ani/chi Ravnos deck that got massive improvements (especially in the crypt side) from the new set. The idea is fairly simple, spend actions mostly forward while blocking stuff you don't want your predator to do, make it to the end game and then finish things off with smiling jack.

Crypt:
2x Sanjay Chakrabarti
2x Anjalika Underwood
2x Dhita Cloudhair
3x Chavi Oraczko
3x Vasiliy Vasilevich

4x Blood Doll
1x Kumpania
1x Park Hunting Ground
1x Powerbase: Montreal
2x Smiling Jack, the Anarch
1x The Rack
1x WMRH Talk Radio

Action: 8
2x Army of Rats
4x Deep Song
2x Illusory Resources

Ally: 4
4x Underbridge Stray

Combat: 35
9x Aid from Bats
6x Apparition
9x Carrion Crows
4x Hall of Mirrors
4x Pack Alpha
3x Taste of Vitae

1x Ivory Bow
2x Kevlar Vest
1x Treasured Samadji

3x Forced Awakening
2x On the Qui Vive
6x Sense the Savage Way

2x Murder of Crows
4x Raven Spy

looks like you're not using chimerstry a lot. You have only ilussory resources, some apparition and hall of mirrors and few drabas. Is it worthy? without those cards you could just build weenie animalism and spend much less on vampires.

Thats 17 chimerstry cards, almost 20% of the whole deck. Also, Chavi and Vasiliy both have very useful specials.

Why are you playing apparition?

Because its super awesome with press combat?

the number is quite high, but they doesn't look mandatory for the deck. They are alright if you're using chimestry anyway, but if they're only reason to play additional discipline they're not good enought IMO. It's like adding dominate to the crypt but using it only for cards like bonding.
