Polishing VtES - refining crypts and removing grouping

Here I would try to play with the idea of what earlier was deemed impossible - to remove grouping rule as well as "squeeze" current 1475 crypt cards into 600, without breaking or even significantly changing the game.

Thought, that it can be done, come to me when one day I was looking at pile of basic discipline 2 caps and was thinking that there are actually no reason for them to exist as a different vampires (if we are not thinking about group 2 dom weenies ).

So then I've started to think about my thought process when choosing crypt and that many vampires just got no way to be in any. Obviously somebody will be thinking differently, so main feedback I'm looking for is "this vampire is left out but his discipline spread can be used in this obscure anarch deck".

So let's stop with the introduction and lets start with.

As a basis I've taken groups 3-4. There are 671 vampires (obviously imbueds have to go), so it's not far from our goal, but we have to add key archetype vampires from other groups.

Malkavians
There are 50 from both sects in the groups 3-4. 13*50=650 so we can't maintain this number to not fail our goal, so let's aim to 40.

Malks 94 are left out because I think they can be represented by mixed clan dom obf crypt. And generally I'm trying to left group 1 out because vampires there are not connected with the RPG lore.

Everything else I think is present:
22/18 camarilla sabbat split
fair number of titles of both sects
crypt for DEM and AUS weenies, as well as midcap kindred spirits decks, M94
all staple vampires
no more "dial a crypt" for any archetype than in present groupings
intercept guns angle
for angle
3 black hand vampires

Looks like it's working.
Have I missed something?

Update: I think it'll be possible to put M94 there. Added

It's not a bad idea, but I see a main drawback: it becomes very hard to add new vampires, especially new vampires with a special ability that opens possibilities for a new archetype.

I don't think that in general idea with making deck defying vampire abilities is great - but for this "exercise" it doesn't matter, I'll try to include all what is presently available. Obviously "making everything that other deck can make better, but using original crypt or rare discipline" not looks like good justification to me.

For instance, you removed the Ankou... I know there were decks built around him.

Can you show me some playable decklist build around his ability? He looks "fun" but seems totally like 10 cap Morel to me - you need to "catch" somebody when he hunts and then make a succesfull action . If there is a reason to include him we can switch any "filler".

M94 added

Victoria is missing. I would make room for Marge Khan to keep the deck alive.
