I'd get rid of Metro underground, you are going to have problemswith pool
anyway. I'd want a few more minion taps, or 2 blood dolls could get you some
long term pool. It seems that if you are going to the trouble of putting in
trumped up charges, you might as well have 1-2 more trophies. Nice dreams
action by the way.

Your first three votes aren't worth the space. I would replace them with
KRCs, or votes that give you pool.

Weren't you going to drop two of these? Not everyone needs to know
everything.

I'd switch 2 of the forced march for Freak drives. Up your voter caps a
little, that way you can refill and minion tap again more often.

Unless you get crusher out, I think you will have problems knocking people
into torpor except for the four times you have the disarm in hand. I'd drop
the Stutter Steps for Blurs, and the Rituals for Tastes.

I'd add 3 more deflections and 7 wakes. Deflections really work much better
when you don't have to a) stay untapped, b) pay a pool to stay untapped.
I don't know if there are no sneak/fast bleeders where you play, but they
would oust you quickly. 4 deflections aren't enough to save you. That being
said, if you do win with decks with this little defense for whatever reason,
then feel free to disregard the deflection advice.
Hope it Helps,
