here are somme suggestions to make the deck better :
First, you don't really need so much presence. sure, Catatonic fear is
nice, but passing those voter caps, even at inferior, to recoup with
the Villeins should be your main strategy.
When i see the crypt, i think that Amavi is not so good for what she
has to offer. Actually, she's way inferior to Nkule. +1 bleed is not
as good as magaji. i would replace her with Tsunda (6 CHI abo ani dem /
Magaji) without hesitation. It helps you with the vote lock and he can
play various abombwe cards !
Then, i think 3x Ugadja may be the best bet. Also, tripling Nkule (who
has a very strong special granting you 5 votes in total) is a good
idea, especially since you don't really use superior animalism.
Master : you have a lot of masters who look really good, but who in
fact are not so interesting. They suck one of your precious master
phase and the investment is not so interesting except in the very long
run. For example, you could easily ditch the hunting ground and the
Mbarare market. Mapatano Utando is also a card wich can help you in
very narrow array of situations. And Major boon is cool in other types
of decks : doubling Archon investigation works better ^^ I would do it
this way :
Master : 15
> 1 Ancestor Spirit
> 2 Archon Investigation
> 1 Creepshow Casino
> 1 Fear of Mekhet
> 1 Giant`s Blood
> 1 Information Highway
> 1 Monastery of Shadows
> 2 Presence
> 5 Villein
This module of masters can only enhance your card flow and prevent the
dreaded "master jam".
Action :
While founder is a good card, it's also meddling with your choices of
action. I would ditch one as well as the wise spider, and add some
ousting power. 3x Public trust seems good if your environnement is not
very bouncy,
Action modifier : This is quite good as it is.
Political actions : You have big vampires : why not try Banishment ?
This can put a stop to midcaps bleeding, or interceptors. Once you
banish the guy with the raven spies, your actions have better chances
to go through ! I'd remove 2 My kin against the world (which is better
in a tool up deck) and one hiding in the open to put 3 Banishments.
Reaction : it's ok since you are not planning to block a lot. However,
as it may seem costly, a single Lost in translation can do wonders for
you since your vamps are big and your predator will expect it less
than the spanish inquisition.
Combat : Why not go Majesty on their ass ? Catatonic is a puny "one
damage"... There is a combo with target vitals, yes, but... Most
"blocky" or "fighting decks will trump it by discarding.
Allies : Mylan is a good catch. In this kind of deck i had much
success with 2x Underbridge stray which allows to block most rushes
and serve as meatshield. They can also untap you if needed.
Retainers: one of those Raven should transform into Shaman, which
gives stealth at the most opportune moment.
Equipment : I really like Kduva's, but it's sooo expensive... An ivory
bow would be quite annoying and it contests the blockers. Plus it
makes your predator's transformation a lot more fun to play since you
can punish methuselah relying on weenie blockers =)
I noticed you are not playing No secrets, which is a shame in a way.
Just two copies can radically change a game for you. Maybe you should
try to make space for it, so you can resist breeding decks without
hassle.
Good luck ! ;)
