This is a stealth vote & bleed deck with {{ stanislava }} as a star. She uses {{ govern_the_unaligned }} to help get other vampires out and {{ villein }} is used to get some pool back. The second vampire should be a Prince or Justicar, to be able to play some {{ parity_shift }}.
As the game progresses, more big capacity titled vampires get out and begin to bleed, using {{ pro }} for stealth with {{ form_of_mist }}, {{ earth_control }}, and {{ rapid_change }}.
The occasional {{ banishment }} helps the deck maintain control on the table, and a few other votes can deliver high damage at the right moment to facilitate the lunge.
{{ deflection }} is used for bleed defence, with some {{ sense_the_savage_way }} to unlock if need be, and {{ pro }} provides combat defense with a solid number of combat ends.
{{ forced_march }} and {{ instantaneous_transformation }} are extremely versatile as they can be used both for stealth or additional action, allowing a vampire to bleed and call a vote in the same turn. {{ stanislava }} can use both, but other vampires in the crypt can use one or the other, and {{ xaviar }} can already unlock on a vote all by himself.
{{ enkil_cog }} can help deliver more bleeds, but might be better on a sidekick rather than {{ stanislava }} herself, for fear of an {{ archon_investigation }}.
A Prince or Justicar is desireable, for {{ parity_shift }}, much needed to bloat in the first half of the game.
The {{ seal_of_veddartha }} is an excellent equipment with this crypt, as most vampires miss either {{ DOM }} or {{ FOR }}. The +1 bleed bonus is nothing to cast aside either.
The archetype is very much known for Martin Weinmayer's build as he as been very successful with it and retained the top seat in the international classment in the 2010s. The cards proportions may vary a little bit, some like to play some {{ kine_resources_contested }}, {{ vele_s_hunt }} and/or {{ claws_of_the_dead }}. {{ ecoterrorists }} is also a common inclusion. Some alterations have been seen in the crypt too, like including {{ iliana }} or {{ caitlin }}, as they have excellent disciplines combination for a low pool, although no title to support the political side of the deck. {{ janne_lonnqvist_s_deck }} from 2016 is a good example.
The Old School variant uses groups 1 and 2 in the crypt instead of the group 2-3 used here. It provides {{ angus_the_unruled }} and {{ don_cruez_the_idealist }}, two justicars with a nice sets of disciplines. It allows for more Royalty cards like {{ second_tradition_domain }} and {{ fourth_tradition_the_accounting }}. {{ giulio_de_cicco_s_deck }} from 2014 is a good example.
