Revisiting Alastors

This beast had awesome result in my old playgroup so I wanted to develop a more advanced version of it.

Basically the deck is Celerity-gun deck with support fortitude and prince/justicar cards.
The deck plays table and rushes and torporises everything.
You get no friends playing this deck.
It's a lonely existence being an Alastor.

3 Madame Guil
2 Mark Decker
2 Pug Jackson
(not sure about the crypt requirements are pretty strict, there aren't many Pasceks around)

1 Trophy: Diablerie (not sure about this, counter intuitive with alastor)

1 Archetype card (haven't decided yet, perfectionist/depravity/monster)

Consistancy. While I dislike slimming down combat decks, this one isn't a dedicated combat deck the way let's say a count Germain multirush or Eknidu multi Rush is.

You specifically pursue a combo with a few trophies out, then anathema on something red list, then alastor rush to empty and scoop a trophy. Combos like thin decks. I'm just not crazy about combos with this many pieces, regardless of deck size..... But if it works regularly, that's the size you want.

Edit: adv Xavier gets an untap and is justicar. Villeins would help you live to see the combo.

The deck does nothing without a gun, and any deck with access to +1 intercept can pretty much shut you down. With Pascek as your main vampire, I would base the deck on Disguised weapon and Parity Shift to get your pool back. If you really want Alastor, I would rather base the deck on Madam Guil and Grand Bal to make the action unblockable.
