Any suggestions for an animalism combat package for a low to midcap
nosferatu deck. the combat being more for some bruise and primarily
for defense and survivability in combat.

pretty standard Aid from Bats + Carrion Crows normally does it

Mine is:
9x Aid from Bats
6x Carrion Crows
2x No Trace
4x Swallowed By Night

If you want more offense, add Target Vitals and maybe one or two more
of Carrion Crows.

For defense and survivability I'd also add some Taste of Vitaes.
6-8 copies should be enough unless your metagame is combat heavy.
Also good for bloating even if the metagame isn't combat oriented.

Hard to beat 6 damage from 2 cards, with Skin of Steel being all but
useless.

Ah yeah, true that. Especially nice as Deep Song allows for rushing,
so you can go fill up off of other vamps that way. Though eight Tastes
seems a tad excessive IMHO.

How many of your minions have ANI?

In most decks with ANI you should run 2-3 Canine Hordes.
What if you ran all your strikes as Canine Hordes supported by Target
Vitals and a couple of Carrion Crows. The down side is you are going
to get hit, but one maneuver is often not good enough. The question
becomes is a maneuver and press better than the option to destroy
EQUIPMENT at first strike

Bats'n'crows works because of the press, not the maneuver. I'd never
say no to a Canine Horde or two in a deck but I don't think you will
have much success using it as your primary strike.

Yeah, it's always worth finding two slots of Canine Hordes in any
Animalism-heavy deck. Nothing like pinging off that Bowl of
Convergeance, Flak Jacket, Camera Phone, Sniper Rifle or even (on a
lucky day) Eye of Hazimel/Soul Gem/Hand of Conrad...

Rushed or blocked is what I'm expecting. but I think blocks will have
to be from a dedicated blocker, whick may mean the damage is less.

At least 6 out of twelve.

Yes, I don't play animalism often, but enogh experienced players have
shown me the light. That is, I can't count how many 44's I've lost to
the canine hordes.

Andy, you're really trying to figure out how to use Alexandra's
superior Animalism, aren't you?

How about: Carrion Crows + .44 Magnum + Flash or Blur = 8 points of
damage

That's not what I'm getting ready to serve up. But Alexandra and the
Prince of Dallas have been rumored to be carousing with certain
unsavory Sabbat Priscus types!

Since this is a *Nosferatu* animalism package, I say it should be
Patagia with crows/bats/hordes. Now you can out-maneuver people with
bats or just go to long and sick your dogs on them!
