Need help improving this Al-Ashrad (Adv) deck

I made this deck recently but have had little to no success with it so far on Lackey. I just put in the 2 Enam since playing it last, but haven't tried it out with her yet. I would definitely appreciate suggestions people have for making it better. The idea is to get Al-ashrad merged, rush vampires he has contracts for, and go nuts. Haven't been able to do that yet. Please help!

The idea is to get Al-ashrad merged...

5x Star Vampire
1x Star Vampire adv

8x Epiphany
2x Wider View

That's my standard recipe for merging, and I like how well it works. The tricky part is acquiring the Epiphanies.

I would either use more your political capabilities or remove all of them.
In first case additionall alamut could help, also some legandary vampires. In political actions at least 4 parity shifts would find their place.
In second case, I would just make it combat deck, using only Al-ashrad ADV. This way you can remove all your politacal cards, support for it (alamut) and don't have to worry about merging

5 star vampire adv
1 star vampire basic

8 legacy
2 wider view

cheaper and easier way to not get broken by purchasing those epiphanies lol
