quick thoughts on masters - I'd lose the path as only 6 cards that use it.
Add in a Heidleberg as it combos very well with Raptors and blood gain with
Carvers. Also a 2nd Carvers would be a lot better than HG imo, hate them )

I'll do so in regard of dropping the path, for a guardian angel amybe since
the inf for of enkidu makes it vulnerable to aggro poking (can't add
elemental stoicism due to that, which was my initial thought), and will
replace the HG for a Heidelberg, yes. But adding a 2nd carvers... not sure,
since I do not face weenies in every game. After thinking this deck a bit
more, I think it's the right deck to stack the thirst&nightmares upon
nightmares pack.

But it might be hard to torporize vamps with a .44 Magnum in their hand.
You have almost no maneuvers and only 4 (expensive) Body Flares. How
about relying more on the DotB/FoM angle?

Keep in mind the press granted by inferior psyche!. I did so because, well,
I don't want to rely on a card I ought to pack several copies of just for
"what if". Without Flesh of Marble, being hit for 2 at close isn't a good
idea, and playing both cards in every combat against a given player... But I
might add some canine hordes instead of 2 body flares, and perhaps replace
both swalloweds for 2 quick melds or flashes, want to test it first. The
same goes for the earth melds, packing 2 form of mist instead of 2 earth
meld might be good too. What to do against tremeres is also something I
ought think of: A single weather control and the whole strategy is sunk.

Being hit for 2 by a Magnum at long range before you can press isn´t a
better idea either. And you might not have 7 raptors so quick so he
might have another maneuver (or a counterpress and a Psyche superior)
for the next round.

Canine horde sounds good, didn´t see the swallowed that´s another
maneuver. Against Tremere? Well I suggest DotB and a bunch of Disarms.
Disarm is a good option for the deck anyway, because you don´t need to
empty them to torporize AND more than often you might be able to hit for
more than them even without any prevention. You might respond that aggro
hand is better in this case, but I disagree because the permamnent -
hand damage if the pop out again combines really nicely with the DotB.
And while we are at it you can also add some Immortal Grapple else they
might just S:CE in the second combat (you have to strike first when you
are attacking, so they can alway wait for your Earth Meld). That leads
to dropping the whole Eearth Meld/Psyche! angle and rely on Freak
Drive/Forced March and Stealth for untapping probably juiced up by 2-3
Fortitude Masters. The combat module would then be
FoM,DotB,IG,Disarm,Tast of Vitae plus some various fun you want to have ;-)

Disarms!! How could I forgot them? umph. I'll add 4 copies, for sure.
Against weather control I guess that weather control is the only way to go.
But they might block me either, so... gotta deal with it.

I would get nervous playing a deck with only two action cards, I find low
action cards to be a little reactive or restrictive, particularly with
combat oriented decks. I feel combat oriented decks need a more secure
method of getting into combat with your prey rather than bleed and hope they
do not have bleed reductions, redirects etc which doesn't get you where you
want to go.

you mean like:

Enkidu, The Noah
Clan: Gangrel antitribu (group 4)
Capacity: 11
Disciplines: ANI CEL OBF POT PRO for
Sabbat. Red List: Enkidu can enter combat with any minion as a (D) action.
If Enkidu successfully performs an action to employ a retainer, he untaps at
the end of the turn. He cannot have or use equipment. +2 strength.

Yep, I know about Enkidu but 7 of the 12 vampires do not have that ability.

This is what is known as a "Superstar" deck--a deck that revolves around a
single vampire. The theory is that you get out Enkidu (and with 5 in the
crypt, you have a, what, 92% chance of drawing him in your openeing crypt),
and Enkidu does everything you need to do. The other vampires only exist to:

A) Bleed for one when Enkidu kills the defenders.
B) Rescue Enkidu from Torpor.
C) Block or play reaction cards.

The deck doesn't *need* actions, as Enkidu comes with the action he needs.

Well, in theory, at least.

Yeah, never thought there would be a problem getting one Enkidu out, I guess
I am not a huge 'Superstar' deck fan. Knowing my luck my first 7 crypt
cards would be the non-Enkidu vampires.
