This is a remake of a very old deck of mine, which thanks to some of the newer cards, Revolutionary Council especially, might actually be semi good now. Basic idea is to in the early game just bring out lots of Aabbts for practically free with enchant kindreds and mesu bedshets and bloat some with tributes and con boons without doing anything to your prey, letting him spend his pool thinking you are no threat since your guys can't even do D actions! Then when the time is right, blow your prey up with Revolutionary Council, and then repeat on next prey the following turn and so on. There is only 4 Revolutionary Councils in there because in theory you only need 4 to oust 4 people, and they can be fetched back with Garibaldi-Meucci Museum if need to. Well, opinions and the like welcome as usual. Crypt: 12x Aabbt Kindred Library: 90 Master: 36 1x Anarch Railroad 1x Creepshow Casino 2x Ferraille 8x Galaric's Legacy 1x Garibaldi-Meucci Museum 1x Opium Den 1x Powerbase: Los Angeles 12x Presence 2x Protected Resources 1x Seattle Committee 2x The Parthenon 4x Tribute to the Master Action: 22 8x Enchant Kindred 1x Fee Stake: Boston 1x Fee Stake: Corte 1x Fee Stake: Los Angeles 1x Fee Stake: New York 1x Fee Stake: Perth 1x Fee Stake: Seattle 8x Mesu Bedshet Action Modifier: 20 8x Bewitching Oration 3x Daring the Dawn 6x Form of the Serpent 3x Rant! Political Action: 12 6x Consanguineous Boon 4x Revolutionary Council 2x Rumors of Gehenna

First of all, there are a lot of masters. Are the Galaric's Legacies so useful? 12 presence skill seems a lot also, especially when your plan is to nuke with 1 vote (Revolutionary Council). You could also play some My Kin against the World (if you avoid putting skills on every one to keep younger vampires). I would also play Voter Captivation to refill the vampires and gain some pool. 4 revolutionary councils seem too few, one or two may get DIed.

I would add Villein + Lilith's Blessing module with all those Presence masters. Not so big fan of Galaric's Legacy.

I need to get presence skills on at least a couple guys fast so I can start bloating with mesu bedshets and enchant kindreds, so I need to play a lot to get them early. I would probably play Firebrand over My Kin Against the World if I would go that route. Voter Caps I was planning on having in the deck originally, but in the end, they simply didn't make the cut, I would like to fit a couple Anarch Salon's in there though to regain blood used for the tributes. Remember that I can get the Revolutionary Council's back with Garibaldi-Meucci Museum if needed. I am thinking about replacing PB: Los Angeles with PB: Rome though for more vote push which is fairly decent since I can get up to 3 mpas, and replace something with second G-M Museum, and perhaps replace couple bewitchings with awes for more vote push potential. Galaric's Legacies are there simply to get couple anarchs early without needing to waste blood and action to go anarch, it trifle so it doesn't really take room from other masters.
