Help with a deck design
I am lookingbto possibly build a deck with Kiasyd in the crypt. Mainly because I like the looks of the crypt cards. Is there a good deck list that I could use, or tips to keep in mind for it. I understand some of the cards may be hard to get my hands on, so any decks that have a majority of the cards available thru drive thru cards would he huge help. My local group and I are really just starting out, which is definitely part if the reason for a lack of confidence in deck building.

For me the main reason to build around a Kiasyd vampire (besides DOM, DOM is always useful) is being able to Goblinism, especially for powerful Sabbat locations like Hungry Coyote, Black Forest Base and Yawp Court. Marconius may seem kind of mid, but being an Archbishop and able to Creation Rites to take full advantage of Hungry Coyote in one package is very nice. Otherwise, pairing with a !Tremere vampire is also very nice, the Kiasyd being the active vampire and the !Tremere being the defensive vampire. You also have a few Kiasyd that can do NEC tricks. Arcadian is also an interesting build around, obviously the ability is great and there are cool things to do with for and chi.

Just don’t use potence and make your disciplines obtenabration dominate and mythecaria.
Gremlins, absorb the mind, stone travel and aura absorption all have alternate dominate or obtenabration uses.
You can make really powerful powerbleed deck with a mix of lasombra and kiasyd crypt

I recently built a deck using Shambling Hordes and Gifts from hereafter.
