The Sun's Gone to Hell

What would be better as a first post than a decklist I've been struggling with? This is probably the only deck I have played over and over again trying to improve it. Its partly because I think the deck has potential but mostly because I've come up with the idea all by myself. Problem is I rarely get a game win with it although it usually steals a victory point or two.

Well, here is the deck:

3x Parthenon, The

1x Path of Death and the Soul

1x Rumor Mill, Tabloid Newspaper, The


Reaction (4)
2x On the Qui Vive

2x Telepathic Misdirection


The basics is simple. Make Brothers in Arms. Give them Auspex with the Master: Discipline-card or with Agent of Power and rush using Eye of Unforgiving Heaven to burn yourself, send the opposing vampire to torpor and gain two pool. When your unique !Salubri goes low on blood they can perform the suicide act themselves.
This deck has obvious problems with ally decks and some problems with decks packing a lot of combat defence but it use to be able to wear opponents out and has relatively good poolgain. The huge problem is ousting power. Codex of the Edenic Groundskeepers is a new untested addition and I hope it can be of some help but its just one card and I suspect I need more.

Any ideas and comments on further developing this deck and/or its playing style is highly appreciated.

What and why is this?

I have been jealous at my friend Jonas' beer list in form of a blog for a while and decided to start documenting all different beer I drink at the start of 2010. I didn't want to do it exactly the same so I thought I combine it with my other main hobby - playing the collectible card game Jyhad. Beer & Jyhad is born!
This won't be a serious beer blog, I don't know enough about beer to try and make one but I can tell good beer from bad and have some knowledge about different kinds. For the time being I'm most fond of Belgian style ale and American style porter so keep that in mind when you take advice from me.
This won't be a serious Jyhad blog either. I won't be able to be as informative as Extrala or as full of wisdom as TTC Master but hopefully I can give you some new angles to this wonderful game.
What more about me then? I am married and have a daughter, work as an excavator operator with waste management operation and always dress in aloha shirts when I'm not working or at a funeral. I hate emoticons and Internet language so you wont be seeing any yellow heads or laughing out louds in this blog.
