Here's the exact version. It bloated up to 88 from the last-minute addition of two DI's and a second Dreams; I considered the bloat from 80 to 85 to be phantom, since I'd cycle the extra cards out with the two Infernal Pursuits. I won't bother with yet another seperate thread for this decklist, but maybe Todd will add it to the deck archive on this sight?

More Infernal Pursuits? Storage Annexes? Actually, yes. You could swap out some of the freak drives for cards that will make actually playing one more likely. Even with the light stealth, far too aften I was getting blocked before I could get a Fortitude skill card on Fatima. Getting the retainer was also, rightly, very high profile. Therefore, I'd say add two more Fortitude skill cards and 2 Forgotten Labyrinths, or just add four Forgotten Labyrinths. Or two of one and two more of: Taste, Psyche, Damage Prevention. I don't think the archetype will run on less than 8 Freaks, though. And even on tables where you are getting stymied with blocks, there's usually a window that opens up at some point, and exploding across the table with the true power of the deck is very satisfying. It's pretty achievable to set your prey up for the oust with Fame by getting him to four pool, then dunking his last guy and wrapping around to your next prey and dunking many or all of his.
