4)What problems have you observed with the deck in play?
when Ravenspy doesnt come or I get my hand stuck with CC cards.

ABout our metagame I cant say, there are variety of decks but there are many bruise decks.
Thanks

Nice deck. Strange name, though. Care to elaborate a bit?

Could consider Deep Songs. Those can help improve your bleed or cycle your combat cards.

I'm not a big fan of hunting grounds in general. If you are confident of keeping it, The Rack may be a better choice.

Hunting Grounds seem to be unpopular here, especially in tournament play (as other locations are VERY powerful, so location destruction is important)
Well, you did say your trying to get back into this game after 5 years, so Deep Songs may be out of the question. (as would most other KoT/HttB stuff)

Currently, your not really taking much advantage of your pure Clan status, so I'd suggest maybe mixing your crypt up.
Nadima and Omaya are one great team, but then again, ANI/AUS + PRO is basically a Tzimice deck, as PRO and VIC are very similar.
My other suggestion, less retainers. Retainers are somewhat difficult to cycle, especially when with the 10 and only 2 cards to help get them out of your hand(Master: Backways, Combat: Pack Alpha), you can get an easy handful. Reactions for intercept are much much easier to cycle, especially if you went with AUS and took some Eagle Sights.
My only other suggestion, more trifle masters. 4 Vessels and 2 Blood Dolls would be a good switch, but also, when it comes to masters, I can only tend to suggest MORE! Masters tend to be the strongest cards, so I generally run between 18-25 in a 90 card deck.

I agree with Shodan about the retainers. Maybe 2x homonculus could go. I know the untap is nice, but maybe two more sense the savage way, or one untap card and one intercept card, would be better.

Also, if you go group 3-4 and drop Ramona, you could add Ryder (if you have that vampire) to replace some or all Nadima. They both have inferior animalism though. But Ryder is pretty good at protecting things like smiling jack or the rack.

Nah, I dont have a nice sounding name for my deck, it will come with time

About Hunting Ground, I will change it for Rack, good idea.

Deep song are hard to find these days and the price in my country is somewhere about 10USD.

o
Another good Idea, I played more vampires from Crypt2 but I kicked them for more Brunhilde and Nadima and I have Ryder so I can add him but Iam little voried about avarage capacity now, its a little big and Beckett and Danielle Diron are good vampires to have.

Thank you for tips so far
