As promised in the VEKN forum, this blog is back in track and the next entry is about another deck of mine, a pure Samedi allies deck focusing on the excellent Reanimated Corpse.
EDIT: I have found some more of my cards! I have reworked the crypt and the deck and this post will be modified soon.
To continue with "The Path of Blood" (Enjoy your Golconda, brother in blood) way of describing decks...
How do you intend to oust?
Classic Bruise and Bleed. When the way is clear after beating the possible blockers, enhance the bleeds with Computer Hacking and non-stop insisting.
How do you intend to keep from being ousted?
The Unmasking for some of the Reanimated Corpses to defend me and to pray I do not have a stealth-bleed deck behind me.
What do you want your ready region to look like (ie, how many guys are you planning on getting out)?
At least 2-3 Samedis (Morlock one of them) constantly calling for more Reanimated Corpses and Off-Kiltering / Little Mountain Cemetery.
What do you want your average turn to look like?
Little Mountain Cemetery to bring out more Samedis, create another Reanimated Corpse, Hunt with other vampire that may be depleted already, BLEED with my dear MUERTAS.
What's your metagame like?
I hope to have a meta again :) But at the time, it was varied, most of the time there would be a voter or two in the table and combat was so frequent in Asturias...

Of course there is room for improval,
I do not really have bleed defense, but the games I used this deck, the pressure in the prey is satisfying.
Concealed Weapong + Wooden Stake is hilarious!! But I will end up removing it for the sake of effectiveness.
I promised this to be budget but since I had my Imbued deck with all the Target Vitals and thought that better dismantle that deck (you know, VTES is for having fun and most of the time imbueds are no fun for the rest) and those Target Vitals can be such a fine addition to this strategy. A Reanimated Corpse can strike for 5 damage with WWS + TV. Crazy eh?
If there is any advide for this deck, let me know!! The Samedi are ugly AF but is a deck I enjoy a lot playing. Ah, and for aesthetic reasons, no Troglodytia allowed in the crypt :D (well, ended up adding one until Lost Kindred arrives).
See you later, Metuselahs!!
