This is a political deck using the Ishtarri clan and their {{ PRE }}{{ FOR }}{{ CEL }} disciplines combination.
The deck uses {{ PRE }} to bleed with {{ enchant_kindred }} and {{ public_trust }}. Political actions are used to deliver pool damage to the prey with {{ kine_resources_contested }}, {{ conservative_agitation }} and {{ reins_of_power }}.
Bloat is done by {{ leeching }}, using {{ villein }} and getting blood back on the vampires with {{ voter_captivation }}, plus a bit of political actions with {{ ancient_influence }} and {{ political_stranglehold }}.
The deck has a high {{ a_b }} with the {{ FOR }} unlock modifiers {{ forced_march }} and {{ freak_drive }}, but also {{ majesty }} if an action is blocked and {{ mylan_horseed }} if he is drawn.
{{ enchant_kindred }} can be used in the game beginning to get vampires out faster and cheaper.
{{ the_kiss_of_ra }} and {{ strange_day }} are expensive but can be kept in hand for a lunge action, be it a vote or a bleed.
{{ scourge_of_the_enochians }} is a counter against breed decks, {{ fear_of_mekhet }} against Inner Circle decks. Both of a them are quite a threat to this archetype.
Other card can easily be included in the deck: {{ falhu_shibaba }} in the crypt (although he does not have {{ obf }}), {{ perfectionist }} to get some blood back on the vampires, {{ scalpel_tongue }} to help getting the votes through, and some {{ cel }} and {{ for }} combat cards. Some variants may be more toolboxy. {{ no_secrets_from_the_magaji }} is an excellent defence card and is even included here, but it can be accompanied by a bit more equipments and combat options, like {{ adam_hulse_s_deck }} from 2014.
An Anarch variant has also been played by {{ marcin_szybkowski }} in 2009.
