-- 2GW8 + 3vp in final

Deck Name: The Manse Family v2
Description:
Slightly modified version of my previous Tzim+Museum deck updated to use the New
Blood vampires. This removes most of the inferior Protean from the deck, which is a huge
improvement. Honestly, the new vampires just make an already good deck even better.

Crypt (12 cards, min=19 max=31 avg=6.42)

What do you think of Steely Tenacity as an addition? A fixed +1 bleed for a blood for every of your Tzmis, making it a bleed for that nice amount of three with a manse, for the cost of a handsize (as the card goes back into your hand after the action).

I actually prefer that in decks that want to use CrimethInc. for some kind of follow-up action.

I had two vampires burned via Archon Investigation, one of which was in the final, but I ousted anyway. So, it's safer to use Steely Tenacity, but doesn't help you speed out a vampire, like superior Govern, but it costs the same amount. I am aggressive on Villeins so if I'm not getting the bigger payoff for my blood, it doesn't feel worth it to me (in this deck, at least).
