Don't you think you deal too few damage (without Heroic Might at least)? What about Swoop or some +strength/damage potence cards?

Can't put anything in without taking things out.
What would you take out?

I'd ditch 2 Stonestrength, 1 Vessel, 1 Guardian Angel. I'm not sure on the other damage prevention cards. Chaundice is preventing much, although no aggr. Maybe up the Heroic Mights to get the needed punch. The Rolls are gold, keep them. I also like Pulled Fangs, an underrated card.

All in all I'd go down to 75 to 80 cards at max. But as far as I saw your decks are always on 90.

I don't see a need for 10 Immortal Grapple in the metagame you expect.

I'd play 10 Grapples too. The card is really good. Imagine a Chaundice with strength three. The good thing of IG isn't only the hand strike thing but the press and the 'set range' in the next round, perfect to play another IG to get to the third round. With potence you never can have enough of it (almost).

Good point. Objection withdrawn.

Here's how I ended up playing it.
It has too few wake effects for my style of play, so it wasn't a good match for me on the day.
I did contest Antonio in one round with a Tupdog deck, but saw no other problems with crypt contesting.

Deck Name : Chaundice comes into his own
Author : Lasombra
Description :
As played during the Last Chance Qualifier in Warsaw, Poland.
Victory points were earned, but no game wins.
I did have a stealth bleed deck gang up on this deck with a Ventrue Antitribu grinder deck to ensure that it was ousted quickly.

Judging by some of the early reports, the LCQ was full of vote decks instead of bleeders. What was your experience? Did you miss the metagame completely?
