This deck originally started as mono Auspex deck with guns and Black Hand-tech for bloating purposes, but evolved into something that can actually oust players as well. The gameplan is to feign being a bleed deck that's not drawing into its payload while bloating enough to bring out a few minions and equip one or two Magnums. Once you feel you're pretty safe from your predator, start actively blocking your prey's minions with Eagle's Sight and bleed hard into him. Once you have secured a VP just bloat and block some more and be the last man standing for the 3VP game win. Taste of Vitae is vital to keep your bloat going and the Target Vitals act a nasty surprise that deters combat decks from picking a fight with you. It can also be used to knock out a weakened minion or put a rather painful dent into a War Ghoul or some other ally. Other than that it's really just a wall with a healthy amount of stealth bleed to go with it.
