Weenie DEM Target Vitals

I wanted to make a fun weenie bleed deck that has the ability to stealth when somebody is just defending with everybody untapped and also enough violence that some pesky interceptors without enough combat can be killed off. In a sense it's very similar to a lot of weenie decks I have played, but any successful bleed action gives you pool. So my strategy is simply to swarm, it's really quite simple. This is the first draft, the metagame is seemingly changing from timeout do nothing style to actually trying to oust, which I really like.

There are a lot of possibilities on how to change this deck. I could fiddle the crypt in such a way that there's enough superior Auspex to have the possibility to bounce, always a good option. I thought about just playing Blood Dolls instead of Villein, because there's so many Taste of Vitaes. Or I could make this of some other discipline I haven't thought about. Really the goal here is to have a fun, aggressive weenie deck with the ordinary disciplineless combat (sans Pulled Fangs which I can't get anywhere). Could force it to be mostly Sabbat-based in which case there could be Abbots and also Toy.

Why I made it out of Dementation is because it doesn't matter that much to me whether or not it's superior (which it often isn't in the smaller guys), because it's more important to gain pool with KS, get the press from Deny and the stealth from Confusion is just for lunging as is all the stealth, really. Problems I have had with many weenie decks is the inability to sustain themselves because there's no pool gain, and the inability to oust somebody who's just leaving everything untapped.

And no, I'm not having any Personal Scourges here, no matter how funny it is

Consider Ossian and Impundulu, they contribute to the attrition angle and play well with Target: Vitals (assuming there's an Uncovered Haven in the case of Impundulu).

If you have one, one Uncoiling may be helpful, depending on your meta. You don't play any event, and the card is often helpful.

I would switch the villeins to tribute to the masters (and reduce the total amount to 4), and add some veil the legions for help with the stealth, any chump with basic obfuscate can use it to give stealth to any of your guys. Also overall mono dem works much better with group 2-3 that has truly awesome crypt for it with Eddie Gaines, Boy Toy, Gillian Krader, Yorik, Midget, Adelaide Davis, Claven, Jeremy Talbot, Persia, Uncle George, Muriel Foucade, and then your choice of either Dolphin or a 5 cap with basic dem.

I wanted to make a fun weenie bleed deck

o yea, that's a lot of fun
The deck itself looks very solid. I would consider following changes:
1. changing the crypt to group 2-3, like Klaital mentioned
2. Putting more dementation masters. IMO superior DEM is very important in this deck. You need this for offense - additional bleed for kindred spirits and eyes of chaos which should be added to the deck
3. changing a master package to include some suddens. Maybe changing villeins to blood dolls or tributes
4. Adding 2 delaying tactics
5. Sliming deck size to 80
