Submissions: Precon decks (LK)

So,
Part of getting back into brick and mortar stores is preconstructed decks. As BC stated, initial products isn't aimed at brand new players. That comes later.

I've concocted preconstructed decks for LK as well as DM, TU, and potential beginner to novice level ones for the future cam sets.
First though, the general cardpool is largely based upon practical matters, meaning things already printed by BC, about to be printed(Httb, pdf sets) and anthology cards are already templated and good to roll by the time precons would appear. So, using common staples with those cards (showcasing the recent sets when possible) means that while some things may be better, or broader cards included would help singles prices, it's all about using a small ish pool to make solid but playable decks.
So, here's LK !Salubri:

1x Joumlon's Axe
3x Blade of Bellona
1x Bowl of Convergence

Reaction (12 cards)
==================
5x Eyes of Argus
3x On the Qui
4x Telepathic Misdirection

Notes: certain staples that aren't up for print soon were needed for all of these. Abbot is relevant in many of these, since 3/5 clans in the set are Sabbat and they ALL have fortitude. Also, there are 2 AUS clans, so bowl, telepathic misdirection. Etc. Trap also became relevant, as will be seen. The one thing that looks out of place initially is the Axe. With HttB getting a printing, there's no need for more exotic things to get templated fot these, even if Crimson Sentinel could go in.

I will keep these going regardless of feedback until I slop them out.

Spoiler: gargoyles go last. Because they suck.

Notes:
Samedi had to have SOME old combat cards from not HttB included. I selected Withering due to how well it works with LK stuff. 3/5 LK clans were given oust power to a combat approach, so this whole Fame/tension theme is common.

DI2 over DI because it's in KoT. Zombies to showcase funeral wake slightly and also a reason to use unmasking I suppose.

Remember those Promo 11 caps? Luckily, LK has an excuse to use one in a precon. Again we see things used in other decks, but it simplifies templates since bloodlines and LoB era stuff has to get done for these. This is the only deck to use a common non-clan extra skill (I consider samedi to have 4 for all intents and purposes, but suppose I did the same with them) but HoS got MotS for two large Tha users to get so cool toolboxy equipment.

I couldn't make heads or tails of what this circle could do that Kiev couldn't with Protean. So, with Abbot and other stuff already in the pool for LK and DM , and a bleed reducer in LK, blocking, fighting, and lunging became what they can do.

As promised, it sucks. In an effort to show recent stuff, its Anarch, which makes it pack one Tremere anarch so that 3 LK crypt cards are usable. It's not great, but could be worse.

Other notes:
Precons should have expansion symbols for the set they're supporting. So LK for all these, even if it means several TU and AU cards get printed as LK before the real set.
Other than total card counts, I aimed at mostly 12 ish masters, keeping in mind Ebay prices for if they would be in demand for parts.
Last, the premise is product sent to retailers in US, but from what I can gauge, its probably MORE useful in Europe to have products in stores than here, just for the current shipping cost and demand. A similar statement can be made about Brazil, I assume.

Special editions of reprints may also drive up demand. Alternative art/new art (can I be in the art for 44 magnum?) Would be cool, but possibly black light activated alternate art on Anarchs ot malks or something.

Thoughts?
