Al should be able to get blood back to summon more 'histories'. After one Remnant he is more or less empty, even with the Ankara Citadel. The Coven? Heidelberg Castle to give him blood from your other minions?
Bleed defence? No bounce/bleed reducing with AUS? That seems dangerous to me.
What about at least three or so Agent of Powers for the little ones?

To gain blood the best way is hunting grounds, some procurers and perfecsionst. Instead of Helicopter I recomend Cavalier and aldo a Amulet Amulet of Temporal Perception to other minions can play temporis cards too.

Should only cost 1 for Al to go get, and since it is just blood cost the little guys could also take the action to get it.
With Ankara u will only pay 1 blood (0 if you have a perfecsionist instead cavalier) for procurer and for long play procurer can help for remainder of the game.
I also forgot suggest Jake Washigton.

I made 5 history decks but the best one is from a guy that win brazilian champs last year. He call big vamps using SM + ankara untap with freak drive and call reckless agitation + voter to fill vampire capacity.
Fisrt minion he call with SM is Lutz, and second one is Orlando Oriundos. With this 2 guys ready each referendum starts with 10 votes from Orlando's + 1 from political action and prey loses 1 poll by Lutz ability. Is amazing deck, very useful and can bounce bleed since this 3 vamps has AUS and also play stealth cards with obf.

For my experience playing this deck, blood on al-muthatir is not a big problem. There is multi-hunt, palatial estate, tabriz assembly...
A perfectionnist and a jake should be good adds.

Hm, neither Al, Lutz nor Orlando may call Reckless Agitation, none is independent. You should switch to KRCs or similar.
I play that deck with other ICs instead of Orlando (Mistress F., Rafael de C. and Lutz, the Tatuish approach) AND the allies. I enjoy it much, although it needs some time for the setup. I fill up the vampires with Eurayle's Renewed Vigor, but maybe that is too complicated and could also be done with Voter Captivation. I have to think about it.

I've build a similar deck. Mine has no art of memories and less alies. Insted I've some bleed defence, more blood gain and a lot of bleed offence.

And you can get the summon history back after you played it right ?

Yes. Art of Memory is very good since it discards unwanted allies and give you back what you need (untap, stealth or action).

Inferior Hourglass of the Mind is generally a no brainer but it's even better in a Summon-deck. If you play it before Summoning it basically allows you to draw 4 cards and shuffle 4 back to your library.

thanks!
Yes . Or the stealth if there are too many blockers, or the freak drive if not. etc...
The poor man version is with sibyl's tongues and sargon fragment.
My variant, it does the votes, does the allies, has the obf, no art of memory, but mad recursion.

Ignorance is bliss.

No, I was talking of a Summon History deck with only a couple of Summon History, since Art of Memory can replace the remaining ones. I have played against the Sargon Fragment version and the setup is far too heavy to work. Compared to Sargon Fragment, Art of Memory saves an action and a blood per SH played.

You need more than Art of Memory for that, since your main problem will be to fetch the summons. If you have 2 summon in the decks, you'd better not rely on it or have good way to retrieve them.
As have said Derjudge, you may use Sybil Tongue (and !Malkavian), or Drop Point Network (which may not be all that effective). It may need, in addition to the retrievings cards, some telepathic misdirection since you would take longer to start your army.
Else, you may cut the deck to 60 card and only need 4-6 summon history. Far easier said than done.

I'm currently working on a 60 card version with Epikasta Rigatos, Spontaneous Power and Toreador Grand Ball. I have 4 Summon History for it. Haven't tried it out yet though, so it might fail miserably. Need to find more ways to untap Epikasta.

Even then, it would require some library manipulation: Heart of Nizchetus, Fragments of the Book of Nod, Barrens, Marrakesh Codex. These are useful anyway to discard the allies/equipments/retainer you're going to fetch with Summon History.
