Shatter the gate towards the fire and flames

Ok, why do you want to make a deck with shattering the gates?

First, because it is a powerful card. There are very few cards that have such a big impact on the game. Compare it to spell of life to see how strong it is.

Second, it is classy. You're playing the Balrog!!!! or As would say Dragonforce:

On a cold winter morning in a time before the light
In flames of death's eternal reign we ride towards the fight
When the darkness has fallen down and the times are tough alright
The sound of evil laughter falls around the world tonight

Fighting hard fighting on for the steel through the wastelands evermore
The scattered souls will feel the hell bodies wasted on the shores
On the blackest plains in hell's domain we watch them as they go
In fire and pain now once again we know

So now we fly ever free, we're free before the thunderstorm
On towards the wilderness our quest carries on
Far beyond the sundown, far beyond the moonlight
Deep inside our hearts and all our souls

So far away we wait for the day
For the light source so wasted and gone
We feel the pain of a lifetime lost in a thousand days
Through the fire and the flames we carry on

As the red day is dawning and the lightning cracks the sky
They'll raise their hands to the heavens above with resentment to their eyes
Running back through the mid morning light there's a burning in my heart
We're banished from a time in a fallen land to a life beyond the stars

In your darkest dreams see to believe our destiny this time
And endlessly we'll all be free tonight

And on the wings of a dream so far beyond reality
All alone in desperation now the time has come
Lost inside you'll never find, lost within my own mind
Day after day this misery must go on

So far away we wait for the day
For the light source so wasted and gone
We feel the pain of a lifetime lost in a thousand days
Through the fire and the flames we carry on

Wha-o-o! Whao-o-oh! Whao-o-oh! Wha-o-o! Whao-o-oh! Whao-o-oh!

Now here we stand with their blood on our hands
We fought so hard now can we understand
I'll break the seal of this curse if I possibly can
For freedom of every man

So far away we wait for the day
For the light source so wasted and gone
We feel the pain of a lifetime lost in a thousand days
Through the fire and the flames we carry on

Ok, this is the end of my desperate attempt to reach Swedish and Finnish people! Now, let's be serious. Shattering the gates is such a beast!

It is a +1 stealth action

It is difficult to break

It has a very powerful power that stays even if you die

So you definitely want to do something with it. For this, you have to achieve two things: being able to act in several turns following each other, second you need to be able to block the "break the shatter" actions.

At the beginning, I thought I would go with Nergal because for this job, AUSPEX/ FORTITUDE is needed I guess. But I don't like the fact that Enkil cog'd Nergal is bleeding for 4. So I am exceptionnally going for advanced Nergal instead! Its special against reaction cards is looking good also, here

You don't see it often, do you?

I think it is okay to spare a bleed for 3 if you can bleed for 2 with the Cog like twice a turn + make 3 pools damage. 

So now that we know the beast, we have 6 disciplines to use [I could have used Maleficia and Stryga here but for the moment I am not familiar with the card, if you feel they go into the deck, let me know how]

The cool part is that every discipline looks good. Nothing is wasted. We can go to:

auspex for intercept

daimonion for contagion, stealth, other cards (?)

fortitude for freak drives

obfuscate for stealth

presence for majesties / entrancements

thaumaturgy for magic of the smith

I spare you the details of my deckbuilding. Here is globally the foundation of the deck I imagine:

Crypt / 

5 Nergal

Library/ what is absolutely needed

10 Masters look mandatory to me.

2x Perfectionist

2x House of sorrow

2x Pentex subversion

2x DI

1x Giant's blood

1x Life boon

Actions, it is difficult to go without those 14:

8x Shatter the gates

1x Contagion

1x Concordance

2x Magic of the smith

2x Unleash hell's fury

Modifiers at least 22, we need

10x Freak drive

4x Enkil cog

4x Faceless night

4x Lost in crowds

... probably more

Equipements 3 look mandatory to me:

1x Ivory bow

1x Heart of Nizchetus

1x Bowl of convergence

in addition, we would need some reactions (15 or so)

4x eyes of argus

3x other wakes

3x telepathic misdirection

3x my enemy's enemy

3x other intercept cards

8 combat cards (6 majesties, 2 conflagrations for example)

and finally I would love being able to put this event module:

2x events without requirements

2x rise of the Nephtali

2x The rising

1x Fortschritt library

That makes already 80 cards! what do you think? is it viable as it is? It looks a little low for agressivity, except for playing the shatter the gates of course... Can some modules go away? you have the word!
