I updated my satyr deck with two broken op things, Dominate and extra MPA's. So I wish to collect a bunch of satyrs and lunge with the assistance of Anarch Troublemaker, Misdirection, Pentex Subversion and Song of Pan. Defense is bounce-based, Aksinya was a late addition to the deck since I figured why not, she can't use disciplines but she can use 31 cards from the library as bounce and she can still play satyrs if need be. I figured it should actually be pretty hard to oust this deck by bleeding. I feel the deck is too fat. I don't have Ashur Tablets which would help a lot and could possibly make this deck even viable. Don't have Monastery of Shadows, don't have more Unmasking or Aksinya and don't have Earth Melds, though I like that Outside the Hourglass is safer against IG combat and Absorb the Mind has a small poke option. I don't have a lot of experience with extra MPA decks. I thought House of Sorrow has a nice synergy with a lot of the cards.

Maybe Mata Hari as support ? She have and can play both satyrs and song of pan.

Your deck is far too slow. If you plan to get all three vampires, you need 23 tranfers (+4 for merging goulet), which is 6-7 turns (the 2 Dreams don't really help). Even with Sebastien alone, the deck is quite slow since you'll recruit only 1 SCS per turn at best (you can't really use Aksynia which has no stealth and will be left tapped, unable to deflect.) I can't really see the interest of playing so many master cards because you'll need Isanwayen (that you can't protect out), meaning Sebastien will get out 2 turns later. Or you play Sebastien first, jam on masters until you get Isanwayen out... Trying to stick to one thing is better. Prince of Paris, France Ratings Coordinator, Rules Director

The first iteration was centered around Mata Hari, but as a metagame choice I had to cycle the Red List out. I don't want some random Tremere rushing me with Ivory Bow and Apportations, or something else similar. Clarification : only Sebastian and Isanwayen are important, Aksinya can come at any stage if I have the pool to spare. So I think it's likely it's 5 turns for Sebastian and Isanwayen, and if I can get Sebastian first, he can start bringing out Satyrs early enough. Merging him isn't a top priority, rather it's a bonus. It's true that the deck is slow, I'm planning on making late lunges and not that much early pressure. I'm estimating there'll be enough time to bring out at least 5 Satyrs and start ousting based on how long games tend to be these days. Maybe my perception is skewed but I feel like aggression isn't a top trait in many of the popular decks these days.
