It's a Blocking and Guns deck.  Emphasis on untaps.  Use Alex's Untap ability to tool up.  
Give Ira some Ravens, a Rack, and a Jacket and kill your prey in his own turn.  
Cammy Segregation, Army of Rats and The Rack are bait.  You want to people to go for 
them so that you can knock them out, then send in Archon Yvette, the Leather wearing 
Diablerist (preferably when you have a Concealed .44 ready).  Keep the Cats Guidance 
in your hand until you run out of other untaps.  Pool will be short while you're paying 
for guns, but once you have a The Rack and a couple of Blood Dolls you're fine.  Use one 
Minion Tap on Alex and another when you've used Giant's Blood.

I'd like to stick in an extra Animalism card to make Marcellus more usable, and an Art 
Museum, because the deck really works so much better when you can pull Alexandra out 
quick.  Drop one Concealed Weapon and one .44 Magnums (scary).

A Gangrel deck with Drawing Out the Beast will ruin your day, but other than that you can 
beat just about anything as long as you have the right cards, and Aura Reading helps alot.


Carpe Noctem baby!
