Don't expect this to be super competitive but it could be fun.

I see some similarities.

I like how this deck doesn't include Charisma. Was that on purpose, so you could pay full-price for the WGs so Parity Shift would work better, or did you just forget to put it in?

It's an interesting deck.
I like the Underbridge Stray / War Ghoul combination. You should consider adding some Vagabond Mystics (works well with both those cards). I'd also suggest changing some Owls for retainers with no requirements so they can also be played by the Ghouls.
Your master card package is lacking both Charisma and Fame, Charisma is debatable depending on how good you expect your pool gen to be, but I'd definitely suggest finding room for Fame.
Also, speaking of pool gen, I'm not convinced you will ever be able to afford your Helicopters in this deck.

Anyway, good luck, looks like a fun deck.

It was on purpose, with the Villein, Lilith's Blessing combo in their and Parity Shift, I didn't think I needed more pool gain, that and once I get the War Ghouls in play I should be able to protect my pool pretty well.

Didn't go with the unique retainers because I see them all the time I don't feel like contesting with then, but now that I think about it, bleeding with one or two would help so yeah, they will most likely go in. And I don't know why but I just plain forgot about the Vagabond Mystics. As for Fame, didn't have room in the master card section and pool and blood gain was more important.

Thank you for the help.

You already have vote push in your Disciplines, so why waste master actions on disciplines?

You will not get blocked and you have allies to block rushes. Your stars will never see a combat.
