One of the biggest surprises of the Happy Family format is that the
Ravnos deck is quite good! It has won 6 out of a possible 10 VPs in three
games in the hands of either me or garry. There's maybe the basis here
for something quite competitive, and of course apart from Lazar you're
not likely to be contesting anything with anyone!

Last night i used this deck to beat Michael's Tzimisces in a duel, and it
was a thought-provoking game, because it became clear to me for the first
time that there are real possibilities in a Ravnos/Tzimisce or Tzimisce-
with-chi concept. The Many Masks of Dragos, for example, which in its
simplest form would be;

12 x Dragos

7 x Chimerstry
3 x Blood Doll
7 x Fortitude

10 x Bum's Rush
10 x Ambush
1 x Covenant of Blood
10 x Freak Drive
10 x Illusions of the Kindred
10 x Horrid Reality
1 x Mass Reality
10 x Amaranth
10 x Flamethrower
Pulse of the Canaille

Maybe in a deck like this you'd want to find space for a few Sens Deps
and Rituals of the Bitter Rose, too.
