A friendly tournament, thanks @Vlad for organizing!
First round: Khazar - Nahkthoreb S&B - Gangrel Wall - Malkavian S&B - Kiasyd Nephandus
Resisted the Ministry bleeds for the whole game, proving the deck resilience. Managed a last minute lunge with Reckless (ousting both the Malks and Kiasyd, whom I couldn't pass because of Unmasking+Nephandus) and top-decked a Form of Mist to pass Khazar's Carlton with a Domain Challenge ousting the swarm.
Second round: Banu Haqim Royalty - Herald of Topheth - Gangrel Wall - Lutz Maris - Malkavian S&B
The bleed deck did its job ousting two preys, not too hard to control the 3-players game and get the win afterwards.
Finals seating dance:
Malkavian S&B - unnamed
Malkavian S&B - unnamed - Khazar
Malkavian S&B - Dmitra vote - unnamed - Khazar
Malkavian S&B - Dmitra vote - unnamed - Khazar - Gangrel Wall
The Malkavian ousted the Brujah vote first, Khazar opted to bounce the unnamed bleeds in the Brujah vote to avoid helping me. I help the unnamed get a VP out of the Khazar to keep the Malkavian out of an easy game win. Malkavian finally ousted the unnamed and ended up in a duel: in the end, the Malks couldn't get past the wall at all, but the short time left (17min) was just enough to get through the 18 pool of the Malkavian.

-- 2GW5.5+2
Deck Name: Gangrel Wall
Description:
Control the table, block stuff, and craft smart lunges. There are multiple lunge options:
- Bleed. 4/5 bleeds for one per turn can oust anyone. Faster if you get Club Illusion.
- Use the votes for a quick finish.
- Constant Revolution can sweep the table if you can protect it.
Low stealth, but Form of Mist + Form of the Bat can get through a surprising number of defenses.
