This deck uses the standard Brujah hand-combat engine Rush/TS/IG/Blur/Taste for 9 damage and an occasional
heavy bleed. The crypt will not allow more than two or three vampires to be brought into play. However, the
princes will be able to take multiple actions each turn (unless faced with deep stealth opponents) by rushing
in your turn and blocking in your preys/predators turn through 2nd tradition. 

I have noticed that combat decks often have trouble with pool management (at least my decks). This is why
almost all the master cards gives blood.  GtU is also a very valuable card in this respect as it functions as
either a heavy bleed or gives 3 pool. It is also possible to water the combat angle down a bit, add 5 more
Minion Tap and 6 5th traditions, to get into some serious pool gain. 

This deck is built with the meta game in Stockholm in mind that includes a lot of light intercept/light
stealth, 5 to 7 people a table, and heavy combat. 

Other cards that could be considered in this deck design is:

-Side Slip/Guardian Angel (Do I see a lot of aggravated damage?) -KRCG/Rumor Mill/Guardian Angel etc. (Do I
face a lot of deep stealth?) -Remove some Pursuit/Flash (Do I need all those manuevers?) 

To make it more fun to play these cards could also be considered: 

-Anathema (Can I pass votes with my one or two princes?)
-Grave Robbing (Always fun)
-Decapitate (Why let them go to torpor when they can BURN!)
