[Fun Design Challenge] 5th Sabbat Starter?

I was leaning towards a !gangrel multi-act stealth-bleed deck featuring Serpentis.

With Black Chantry willing to print new group 4-5 vampires in these starters, and V5 pushing and together, a couple of new !gang sporting Serpentis would give them access to some decent bleed modifiers.

For example, something like this:

Crypt
Xendil Charmer Priscus
Luke Fellows Unlocks after successfully bleeding.
Synner-G Unlocks after successfully equipping electronics.
Charlie Tyne
Tassiter (NEW)
Mekhetra (NEW) You and Mekhetra can play cards requiring Followers of Set as though she were of that clan.
Gianna (NEW) Can burn 2 blood to unlock and take an additional bleed action once per turn.
Longshanks (NEW)
Shae Walston (NEW) Can unlock an older Sabbat vampire who has completed a successful action this turn as a +1 stealth action.

The deck is under the legal minimum at 59 cards. Overall, a bleed deck that bleeds with actions and modifiers should be at 80-90 card range so you don't run out of cards trying to oust the entire table.

Antigangrel could be a "clan" deck for the sabbat, but focusing on combat/bleeding. Stealth bleed... while they do have stealth, they don't have that much +bleed so I dont like that idea. Maybe focus on deep songs? The serpentis is...unorthodox.

Yes, it was just a rough draft. I do like unorthodox decks.

I should've added Zephyrs and more Spying Missions because they combo. Having 8-9 Spying Missions, 4-6 Truth of 1K Lies, and 4-5 Enticements would be approximately 40-50 points of pool damage. Is that enough? That's not including Laptop Computers or retainers like Tasha Morgan and J. S. Simons, Esq.

Maybe we could add a Mylan Horseed (Goblin) for even more fun, but one is already included in the Parliament of Shadows Lasombra Starter.

The Eternal Mask is also an option. I really wish Cat Burglary, Precision, and Arson weren't terrible.

No, they don't.

How do you figure?
