I'd say that the crypt is too heavy on the top end. You have to ask
yourself what the likelihood really is that you bring out Alexandra,
Anson, and Anneke at the same time. If you can't do it, you're better
off not using all three. Personally I would be wary of running only 3
Ansons with 24 Master cards, none of which are trifles or The
Parthenon. You might very well play games where you don't get him and
jam on those. And your interpretation of having the weenies there only
"for the grand ball" is a mistake. Weenies rock, possibly more so in
title-heavy politcal decks than anywhere else. A 2 cap with pre can
call a non-titled vote almost as easily as a 10 cap can, since your
other vamps' titles will win it for you (in theory). A 2 cap with aus
can block critical actions and get in the way when rushers attack your
fatties. A 2 cap with cel can take just about whatever actions it
wants using combat defense and its own utter expendability to increase
your actions/turn. So I would say to drop one of the 3 fatties,
possibly Anson, whose skills are not fully realized with only 24
Masters anyhow, and throw in more weenies and midcaps. You can't win
with only 2 vampires taking actions, and if you one or both gets
torporized or burned, you're done--or at least dramatically slowed
down.

3 Dreams is too much IMO. It is unique after all. And 5 Grand Balls
is WAY too many. I would also replacing some of the Minion Tap with
Blood Dolls. Minion Tap gives you a nice quick fix, but BD can
generate more pool in the long run and it's a super-flexible permanent
card.

Which ones?

Your vamps with dom all have only the inferior level, and they are all
very big. For such vampires, Redirection is often better than
deflection, since almost everyone you want to deflect will be younger,
you're tapping at basic Deflection anyhow, and it's free.
> 5 Voter Cap
> 5 Bewitching Oration

Sure.
> 8 Majesty
> 5 Disengage
Man, you have CEL. Use it. The Majesties are fine, but I'd recommend
ditching the Disengages for less specialized combat defense. Flash is
amazing for defense, since you can use both to run away from a POT
rusher and press to end in the same round. Sideslip, Praeternatural
Evasion, Staredown, and Vampiric Speed are decent options too.
That's all from me right now. Good luck.
