A very standard Lasombra Breed Vote deck that has the typical bleed power of a DOM-able clan. This deck doesn't have the flexibility and reliability of the Kiasyds when it comes to combat defense, stealth or bleed, but focus on the vote power given by the titles, and especially the Power Structure augmented by the Creation Rites when enough are in play. Ambrosio is the best Vampire to have around whenever feasible, but he should be supported by at least one more deflect-able Vampire.
This is one of the oldest deck that has kept me company, and in general do perform admirably in most situation - bleed with DOM and stealth while waiting to secure votes, vote if you can or you have intercept heavy opponents, defend against rushers with OBT combat, and bounce bleeds to your prey when appropriate.
Simple, and straight forward, and a lot of shadowy fun.
