Gangrel Without The "Poke"

This was one of my first deck ideas years ago after Dark Sovereigns was released. It was altered after Ancient Hearts and again after Sabbat to pretty much it's current form.

VAMPS:

2 Stanislava
2 Ingrid Rossler
3 Illiana
3 Caitlin
1 Faruq
1 Camille Devereux or Raven

MASTER:

4 Sudden Reversal
6 Minion Tap
4 Blood Doll
4 Dreams of the Sphinx
1 KRGG
1 Tabloid paper
2 Secure Haven
2 Dominate

REACTION:

8 Wake
10 Delection
6 Cats Guidance

ACTION:

9 Govern the Unaligned

ACTION MODIFIER:

8 Earth Control
6 Rapid Change
7 Form of the Mist
4 Threats
4 Conditioning
4 Bonding

Simple and neat. This is basically a stealth bleed deck with decent blood management, bleed bounce, and combat defense. Illiana and Caitlin are the key vamps. Illiana can Govern back for extra pool if you need. If you can get Stanislava out it's bad news for everyone else. If you have a rush combat prey the Form of the Mist and Rapid Change are used more for combat defense then stealth. The light intercept is for slowing down Ventrue or Toreador vote which is the decks biggest weakness. Originally I packed a couple of Claws of the Dead for a little suprise. However I have discoverd there is little need for that as most players expect the claws as soon as they see a Gangrel anyway. Depending on your enviroment you may want to ditch the intercept and add more bleed for a quicker kill.
