Inspired by BK's Noir Journal deck we came up with this untested concept of a bloat deck that may be able to work.
Basically the idea is to get Noir out by first turn, since there is a good 50% chance for a player to be player 3 or 4 to influence Noir out immediately. It would be perfect if you have one of the Journal in hand, which Noir will then proceed to equip as the first action unless he sees that there is a need to change his hand by either bleeding to get rid of Spirit Marionette, equip Zip Line to ensure Journal's safety, or Hunt and Freak Drive to get into the right cards.
Once the Journal has been equipped on Noir successfully, Noir will hunt and Freak Drive until he runs out of Freak Drives in hand. Remember to bleed once if you can. Once you have expired all the Freak Drives in your hand, burn Noir to bloat with all the successful counters that is on the Journal. Bring out the next Noir.
If you happen to have Saulot in the uncontrolled region, start influencing him when you can, if not, wait for The Stranger Among Us to bring him out. Repeat the Journal bloat with Noir until Saulot is on table.
Use Saulot carefully, make sure you have Repulsion on him as soon as possible, then Blood Bond the prey's Vampire when you can, and Saulot can do whatever he wants, either Spirit Marionette or bleed and eliminate the prey.
The idea of this deck is to leave defense to complete and very fast bloating - using Noir to fully enhance your pool so as to ignore all the attacks up stream. By turbo-Freak Driving you should soon have the hand that you most needed to handle most situation.
The problem with this deck is that it runs out of cards really quickly, and there are very few ways to get it back. Ashur Tablets are too slow, and adding in a !Brujah doesn't really make a lot of sense here. Also, with only one active vampire doing the killing, the bleed is going to be quite slow, and therefore not very fast in killing. Combat is minimal, and so dedicated rush deck will still kill off this deck quickly. Once Mr Noir goes into torpor before Saulot is on table...gg

This deck sounds like an excellent way to time out games without ever getting a single oust.
^.^
It's infinitely better than the previous version of Freak Drives only Noir deck~
I was hoping it could at least have a oust, or say, post a threat?
Tune it further, anyone?

Might I suggest that you replace all the Blood Bonds with Incriminating Videotapes. The effect is more or less the same, and unlike the blood bonds, you can transfer the videotapes from vamp to vamp with Heidelberg Castle.

I suggest taking out all the cards, and using at least 40 or so new cards to add an ousting mechanism.
