Sadly, the minions aren't very cost-effective, but I felt the few
Gangrel I had here were always the weak links in the chain, being not
able to play Leathery Hide, Abbot, benefit from Hungry Coyote etc. So
I added some larger !Gangrel, Bay and Howl (I have never seen this
card played) and some more Leathery Hides instead of Flesh of Marbles.
And two Haymakers so that something like Guardian Angel doesn't keep
you safe forever, besides it should give me a press.
So far it works nicely in our combat/intercept heavy meta, but I'm not
so sure I would take it to a tournament. What do you think?

I've been looking at Bay and Howl for a while and wondering if you
could build a deck around it. Do you think it would be worth
increasing the number you've got in the deck, and maybe including The
Embrace or Creation Rites?
Compare Bay and Howl with Tribute to the Master. It's not really much
better unless you're planning on using those extra transfers to bring
more and more guys out faster every turn. If you just want the pool
gain, then use Tribute, and play any clan you want.
Convergence for Pander also has the same problem. What's the point?
Maybe use it to pile pool on that 7-cap Pander? Getting Info Highway
would do the same job much more efficiently anyway.
A possible, unconventional use for these cards: combine with the
Rising. pull blood to uncontrolled vamp in master phase, get edge from
bleeding, then gain your pool safely during influence phase.
Kaymakli Shennanigans? Pile up counters on your uncontrolled vamps
and then follow up with a Kaymakli to get all of it into your pool in
one go... and possibly bork up some other people's crypt plans (like
keeping a baby to GtU at..)
That sounds pretty good to me, actually. There are plenty of ways to
gain blood for Sabbat vampires - Hungry Coyote, Esbat, HG, Zillah's
Tears, Chalice of Kinship (thanks for that suggestion, Demnogonis) -
so it'd be easy enough to keep the Bay and Howls going while playing
the occasional Clotho's Gift to bring out more crypt cards, rapidly
bringing a protean horde into play. Simple bleeds for one would
probably work as an ousting mechanism.
Ah, so I accidentally sent my answer to your email or something? I was
wondering what happened to it.
Anyway, I was saying that B&H also speeds up my initial crypt play,
since many of my vampires are over four capacity, and I also have
noticed that I need something more than six blood dolls as I don't
have bounce.
