I have somewhat similar deck currently, although I use all the akunanse clan discplines and slightly bigger vampires in mine. I think blood dolls would be better than villeins for this small vampires, you should also play mbare market and ancestor spirit, those two should be in pretty much every laibon deck. I would focus your combat a bit more. Invoking the Beast and Devil Channel: Back are great combo, you should play more of both of those and less of the other stuff. DC Throat only works on younger so likely not too useful with your crypt.

If you want to fight back, throw in couple of Haven Uncovered's. Couple of On the Qui Vives wouldn't hurt either.

Your vampires will soon run out of blood if you play villein. Giant's Blood, Jake Washington and Taste of Vitae should help. Any particular reason, why there is a fortitude discipline, but no fortitude cards?

I don't know how powerful this deck would be. If you want to do bleeds of 1-2 backed up by combat, why not just play weenie potence? I would go more of a bamba angle with this deck to get a lot of Abombwe for cheap. If a Magaji makes a bamba and you have Lilith's Blessing in play, don't give it any blood, just a skill card. Next turn, use Lilith's Blessing to get a 3-cap with ABO full of blood. Is that so great? I'm not convinced, but +bleed and +stealth with some basic combat could make a nice swarm. Terra Ingognita might work well with the deck in conjunction with not blocking your pred. An untapped, empty Bamba can help with defense that way.

1. I can't understand reasons of using:

Fortitude - you don`t use For
Devil-Channel: Throat - your gays to guys and you all ready have Predator`s Mastery
Unseen Hibernation - what you scare

2. How you want to enter combat?

3. Blood Management - you must have minimum 2 blood to win combat: Devil-Channel: Hands+ minion strike. So you will hunt 2 of 3 turns.
