Here's my attempt at a Khazar Diary deck. I am probably trying to do
too much at once, trying to use too many of the new cards from LotN.
Once I get a chance to play it a couple times, I'll trim what doesn't
work.
Crypt
2x Carmine Giovanni 10 ani DOM NEC POT pre PRO 2 votes. Whenever a
wraith enters play, that wraith gains 1 additional life from the blood
bank. Carmine may tap to give an acting ally +1 stealth.
2x Giovanni del Georgio 8 DOM NEC POT PRO Del Georgio may remove two
copies of the same card in your prey's ash heap from the game to gain
3 blood as a +1 stealth hunt action.
2x Paolo Sardenzo 7 dom NEC POT pro THA Whenever a wraith enters play,
Paolo gains 1 blood. Giovanni get +1 intercept when attempting to
block Paolo.
2x Kay Polerno 4 dom nec pro
2x Almodo Giovanni 3 dom pot
2x Cristobal Ghiberti 2 nec
Library
Master
3x Vessel
4x Blood Doll
1x Powerbase: Cape Town
2x Charisma
1x Channel 10
1x Jake Washington
Event
3x The Unmasking
1x FBI Special Affairs Division
Action
8x Khazar's Diary, Endless Nights
5x Soul Feasting
4x Compel the Spirit
4x Dual Form
6x Govern the Unaligned
Combat
7x Earth Meld
5x Form of Mist
Ally
1x Ambrosius, the Ferryman
1x Brigitte Gauber
1x Carlton Van Wyck, Hunter
1x Felix "Fix" Hessian
1x Gregory Winter
1x Leonardo, the Mortician
1x Mylan Horseed
1x Repo Man
1x Tye Cooper
1x Vagabond Mystic
Retainer
1x Masquer
Action Modifier
2x Earth Control
3x Empowering the Puppet King
Reaction
6x Deflection
4x On the Qui Vive
4x Fillip
Combo
2x Breath of Thanatos
3x Spiritual Divination
I'm most interested to find out if I can make good use out of the 5
Soul Feasting that I own. I figure I can eat one of my own wraiths
(hopefully one near death) to get back a nice bit of blood and add a
diary counter or end game I can eat one of my created wraiths for some
nice blood gain and then have another Giovanni put that wraith back
into play. One day I might be so lucky that someone else has a wraith
in play that I can burn. 
Later,

You draw to replace Fort and then discard down to your hand size, so

Nope. Its a very minor change that will probably have little impact. I
agree with Kevin's change on a cardflow/drawing statistics point of
view though.

not this way.
if you search for the unmasking you have one less card in your library
- it means slightly less chance to have hand jam. >> Stay informed about: (DECK) Wraith Diary |

That doesn't even begin to make sense.
Say card X is going to be either Fort or Unmask.
Scenario 1:
You draw card X before your turn.
If Fort, you lose your master phase action to draw one of the other
unmaskings.
which then sits in your hand until your discard phase.
If it was Unmasking, it just sits in your hand till your discard phase
and you don't lose your master phase action.
Scenario 2:
Say you draw card X after you've used your master phase.
If Fort, then it sits in your hand a whole turn around the table, until
you can play it as per scenario 1.
If unmasking, you just play it during your discard phase.
Fort only finds Gehenna events, it won't allow you to search for FBI.
Or is there something I am missing here?

Scenario 3:
Say that your copies of Unmasking are very deep in your deck. FortLib
allows you to go get one. Right now.
Is there something about the math that I'm missing, or would you rather
not use cards to search your library, arguably the most powerful effect in
CCGs?

If you have 3 Unmaskings, or 2 Unmaskings and a Fortschritt, you're in
exactly the same position regarding how deep they are or aren't in the
deck. Imagine that your Fortschritt is a proxy for a copy of the
Unmasking that you don't own, and things become clearer.

on the "slight advantage effects" way, more advantages of 2 copies of
unmasking + 1 copy of FL v/s 3 copies of unmasking:
1.- if you have unmasking in play and you draw another unmasking, its
a 100% dead card.
2.- if you draw FL, are few cards that enable to use FL as "discard a
master card" and could, eventually, give you a little advantage:
opponent Chas Giovanni Tello or Jacob, The Glitch.
steal Brothers Grimm.

approach to the game

yeah slightly less chance to hand jam _later_, because you have to hold
on to a master card _now_. AND use a master phase action.

Search is good, I don't dispute that.
but to help clarify my point that James also helped clarify....
Cards A, B and C are at the bottom of your deck.
In one version of your deck, A, B and C are all Unmaskings. This is not
cool. So searching tech would be handy.
So you swap card C for a Fortschritt for next game.
You do exactly the same shuffle, and cards A, B and C are all at the
bottom of your deck. Card C being Fortschritt doesn't really make a
difference, since it is still at the bottom of your deck.
Now, say C is still a Fortschritt. You shuffle differently and A and B
are at the bottom of your deck, but C is in your opening hand. Woo-hoo!.
However, if you'd left your deck like your original build, C is an
Unmasking, not a Fortschritt, so you can still play it turn one since
it's in your hand, AND if you have some other master card in hand, you
can play that, too!
Now if A B and C are all Unmaskings, and you _add_ another card, D,
which is a Fortschritt, this improves things. However, not as much as
adding just another Unmasking would, by exactly the same reasoning as
before.
BUT, if you're playing with several _different_ gehenna events, then
Fortschritt becomes an extra copy of _whichever one you haven't played
yet_, which is where it becomes particularly useful.
Or, you know, if you only physically own 2 Unmaskings, then adding a 3rd
card that's Fortschritt will have to do.
So, to sum up, searching effects, when they have a choice of what to
search for, are Good. But if all you can ever search for is one
particular thing, then that searching effect may as well be just another
copy of the thing you're searching for.

This is completely correct. Given the choice between:
A) 3x Unmaskening
or
B) 2x Unmaskening and 1x Fortran
I'd always go with B. As you have the same chance of drawing the card
you need, but when you play Fortran to get Unmaskening, you are pulling
an extra dead card out of your deck (i.e. play Unmaskening when you have
3, you still have 2 dead draws in your deck; play Fortran to get
Unmaskening and play it, you only have 1 dead draw left in your deck.
Yeah, yeah, I know. Fortran can get suddened...)

As Salem says, it's not 100% clear cut, in my mind - in the general
case, anyway. Giving up the ability to play, for example, Minion Tap
that turn is not the nicest thing in the world.
For a specific deck, it may be a reasonable compromise, but I can't say
that would be true for every such deck.

Get an Unmaskening first, you then have 2 dead draws in your deck. One
of which you can use up a valuable master phase action to remove the
other, but still. Maybe it should be a barrens instead?
