I'd suggest at least 4 Anarch Converts and maybe even 4 Nana Burukus
You really want to become Anarch fast and you can use one Convert as a
Minion ...

Maybe use the 15 remaining spots to go full out master heavy?
In this case a Parthenon would be good also.
I used to play an Anson/Piper/War Ghoul deck and used the Ashur
Tablets/Lquidation package.
Combine this with Villein/Giants Blood/Golconda and the deck becomes
hard to oust. I once survived even against a triggered Kazhars Diary
deck.
The Nana Version might even be better as you can make her Anarch which
wouldn't work on Anson.
With this in mind I would go 5 Converts 3 Nana ...

1 Strange Day to make one crucial Nana-Action happen?
Although this wouldn't work on an anarch Nana ... hmmmm

Not sure wether Majesty is necessary, unless you want to use it as a

You should be able to block a rush with War Ghoul and Unmasking.

Some other things to consider:
- Piper taps an Anarch, which makes the deck sometimes lack on offense
(available bleed actions) during a recruiting turn.
- Mylan Horseed to enable Nana to be tapped via Piper and still be
able to act later.
- Heart of the City/Codex of the Edenic Groundskeepers to bleed after
the War Ghouls cleared the path
- Frontal Assault can circumvent that War Ghouls can't attack allies
- Carlton van Wyk
In case you play this deck I'd be interested to hear back from you how
this worked out ...

>Not sure wether Majesty is necessary, unless you want to use it as a
>tapping strategy.
Majesty was critical. (Played the deck ~3 weeks ago, in one session.)
Neither Fortschritt Library nor The Unmasking were to be found, so the
target on Nana's head was shifted out of focus for a few turns so that
she could continue on as a ready minion. I ran out of Majesty before
I found FL/TU, and guns destroyed all of my minions.
The next week, the 9x Canine Horde decks came into being.

help with the tapping effect of Piper, your midcaps with aus could
Precog Mobility to untap a Piper. Maybe run more AUS vamps to untap
Nana.
Looking forward to the reports!

I played "+1 stealth, all the time (dominate)" in a 10 player
tournament on Thursday night and got to the finals with a game win/3
VP and another VP in the other round. I couldn't close the deal in
the finals though. Johannes Walch won that with a group 1/2 Brujah
Debate deck.
I played "Una 2011" in Day 1 of the NAC and took 5 VPs, 1 VP in the
first round and 4 VP in the second round. In the third round, my prey
was weenie Auspex with a Direct Intervention for my Freak Drive and so
I was ousted early.
I played "Mid Cap is the place to be" on Day 2 of the NAC, and ousted
the eventual winner of the event, and Hugh. I did get to blow up a
Rowan Ring, but no other equipment and there was too much combat in
the deck for the environment.
I didn't take any of the others with me, the inspiration to pursue
them ended with the creation of the decklists. I have played the Nana
Piper deck previously and it does need work. I'll probably look into
that later on.
