Azaneal is not a 9 capacity vampire, so he cannot play Shatter the Gate.
That is why there are 8 master discipline cards in this deck: to raise
his capacity to 9. The spare master discipline cards will be useful
either to give superior Dominate to Omme, or to increase the capacity of
any of your Kiasyd in play for Governing down purposes.
Once Azaneal's capacity reaches 9, he can start to play Shatter the
Gates. If anyone attempts to get the edge (by bleeding) to burn any of
your Gates before the ritual is complete, play Folderol to reduce his or
her bleeds to zero.
If you manage to Shatter the Gates, good for you, but if you cannot,
then this deck is quite capable of bleeding your prey out.

Cool concept!
I would add 1-2 scourge of the enochians. Decks with many minions -
therefore espe who also have a big vamp would cause you problems.
I shall add them right now!
