New Brujah Deck Thoughts/Suggestions
RoddPrime
but I wanted to get some opinions about the set-up. Do you think this
will run smoothly? Are there any cards I should take out or new cards
to add that I haven't thought of? Thanks for your thoughts!

Pretty standard crypt, not particularly focused on out of clan
fortitude, 6 have obfuscate.

Flurry of Action might be better if you had some combat or more
stealth to go with it. Legal Manipulations isn't as good as Heart of
the City, you need permanents.

It is so annoying that Karen and Carlak are missing either POT or PRE
for Iron Glare. I'd drop Aire and Bewitching in favor of Awe/Scalpel
Tongue. You don't have OBF, so your obfuscate stealth cards could all
be different. This may be a case where Into Thin Air is better than
Lost in Crowds.

This should be cut, it doesn't help you enough.
> Combat [18]

Too many Majesties. I see where you're going with it, trying to out-
action your prey. I would suggest some hit-back in case you have to
deal with some no secrets monkey, Imbued, or a weenie-ish wall deck.
Torn Signpost + Acrobatics is pretty good. Your combat can be cut
wayyyyyy back if you use Alastor.
> Equipment [3]

Sengir Dagger? How about AK-47 or Assault Rifle instead?

You don't need Papillon, you have plenty of blood gain between Dmitra
and Voter Cap. -4 Minion Taps, +4 Villein. Find space for 2 more
Villeins and/or some blood dolls/Vessels. Your minions cost a lot and
provide no bounce. You could potentially use Elysium: Palace of
Versailles, but New Carthage is just so good. Probably more Info
Highway would be a good call.

Anarchist Uprising > Domain Challenge in my experience it's hard to
blow up a table the way Anarchist Uprising does. You need more Parity
Shifts and at least 2 Alastors.
You REALLY need some 2nd traditions in here. What if your pred/prey
tries to equip with their Bowl of Convergence? You're screwed!
Hope that helps, just basing my judgement on what I've seen work
effectively before.

Those are all worthy suggestions. I'll see what I can do about
getting those changes made. Thanks again!

I would add a second new carthage, and at least 4 more carthage
remembered (its non-unique and stacks). also I would take out Reginald
for Jann Berger.Then I would replace the minion taps with grooming the
protege to speed up bringing guys up, and also up the number to around
7 at least.
Gerentt
the better ones are already mentioned. Here's my take, reiterated
points are there for emphasis.

Dmitra is really your key minion here; I'd keep her as the highest cap
vampire. Jann Berger's POT special isn't useful to you and Adana de
Sforza could be included if OBF is used more in the deck. Carlak is a
little expensive for me but its up to you. Karen will need either a
Disc. Presence or a couple of Blood Dolls/Vessels to be an optimal
voter.

Flurry of Action triggers only on a successful bleed; drop them.

Into thin air is better than Lost in Crowds at inferior obf. Trade the
Bewitching Orations for more Perfect Paragons (more versatility with
pseudo-stealth) or Scalpel Tongue.

Agreed, its doesn't jive with your strat.

If you want to multi-act, i'd suggest more playable modifiers like
Aire instead of action cards. Bleed first then vote. Resist tEG is
useful against IG.

1 or 2 more New Carthage is essential. Drop the Info Highway for
Grooming. Consider exchanging Minion Taps for Vessels. Drop Papillon.
X more Carthage Remembered (1<X<4) if you're going the bleeding route.

Lower the KRCs, increase the Parity Shifts. Alastor out your equipment
(note that Alastor-ed Helicopter comes into play untapped, and can be
used immediately.)

As it stands, the deck appears to be a Ventru-esque bleed/vote deck
with very little For and a bit of Obf. Heavy on the Presence (bleed,
vote push and multi-act). Pot is barely utilized (in Iron Glare), and
Cel usage isn't optimized. Don't want to cramp your style or anything,
but perhaps you could consider a more bruise-y approach (with Heroic
Might/Preternatural Strengths, IG and Resist tEG). Alternatively
Alastor out M-16s like what Brandon mentioned. And no reaction cards
whatsoever? This crypt screams for 2nd traditions. And/or Scobax for
bleed reduction.
