Here's the deck I've been playing for a while. Got pretty good results (5 games, 3 GW's, one game made 2 vp's by ousting the winner and 1 VP on the last game) How to oust: HEAVY bleed avoiding bounces (le din tho's ability and some revelations) / archon and denying blocks. Contagion usually helps too How to prevent from being ousted: bounces, some intercept tech and obediences / mental maze to avoid combat, lots of bloat with minion tap + sheepdog and entrenching Ready region: Expensive stuff: At least huitzilopochtli + le din tho or Helena merged + le din tho or the 3 if possible. How to I play: Slow game, setuping the deck. Usually I try to bloat first, avoiding problems with my prey / predator. Try to defend as good as possible, blocking some dangerous actions or bouncing. When I get my setup, try to see my prey's hand and start bleeding heavily with govern + sense the sin (sometimes with a heart of the city) Problems with the deck: Dedicated blockers are aways a problem, because I can't use le din tho's ability to see what waits me, but my bleed is aways without stealth, so My crosstable can block if bounced. Denying my minion taps can be a problem too because I ran out of pool fast due to the heavy influence thing.

How do you pass through a prey that plays weenies (except with the 2 Crocodile Tongue)? Prince of Paris, France Ratings Coordinator, Rules Director

I have some alternatives. Use basic elder impersonation for stealth (unless the weenie is auspex based), veneficti, try to mind rape some of them or simply start damaging their vampires by block / hand strike or psychomachia. There isn't a exact formula to win a weenie based deck. I can also let him tap all his vamps in order to attack his prey and then go for my VP. Archbishop of Vitória

definitely some Into Thin Air should be added to the deck.I'm legion could help as well. Beside, it's almost impossible to oust weenie auspex with build like this, but this is true for a lot of other decks

Wand

I may consider I'm legion, but its a very expensive card for an already expensive deck. I guess I have to rely on my modus operandi playing this deck. Slow game only bloating and when I see a chance to go more aggressive then I'll go. I can consider putting 1x condemnation doomed (to oust weenie by doing pool dmg through block and also through contagion) one or 2 infernal servitor to bleed when the region is clean and also some conflagrations / flames of the netherworld to reduce the ready weenies and scare away other minions who try D actions against my vampires.
