New player here. Lasombra Combat with a little bit of Bleed deck G4/5
So I'm new to the game. Came from VTES as general and a few weeks back i finally said frick it and bought some cards.
So far I have played three games. First one being more of a learning one for both me and my opponent. Last we played in three players.
Now I think I understand the basics and can now see why cards are put in a deck and what they should do.
So as I already played my favourite clan Baali as a bleed deck in the first game I decided to try and play my second favourite clan Lasombra. I didn't want to play bleed again, at least not full bleed. So instead I tried a more combat oriented deck with a bit of bleed. I lost with it but held out pretty long and delt some decent damage.
This is the deck:
Crypt(14)G4/5
4 Badr, Shadow of Granada 7 OBT POT DOM
4 Virginie, Prodigy 6 obt POT DOM
2 Ermenegildo, The Rake 5 OBT pot DOM
2 Lucy Markowitz 3 dom bot
2 Claudia 2 obt
library(80)
2 Obtenebration
9 Arms of the Abyss
6 Govern the Unaligned
2 Black Metamorphosis
6 Eyes of the Night
6 Shadow Play
4 Shroud of Night
4 Entombment
4 Dark Steel
1 Path of Night, The
1 Political Hunting Ground
4 Deflection
1 Dragonbound
6 Torn Signpost
4 On the Qui Vive
4 Immortal Grapple
3 Ashur Tablets
2 Villein
3 Vessel
2 Bonding
2 Conditioning
2 Kevlar Vest
2 Political Struggle
One thing I'm sure about is I want to keep Badr in there for her reduction of blood costs of OBT and Black metamorhphosis as a combat tool
Do you have any suggestions?

I don't think it's really useful to double Lucy and Claudia.
Also, Virginie seems an odd choice if you plan to play OBT POT combat, because she doesn't have superior OBF.

Ashur Tablets are not very useful in a combat deck since they tend to hinder your cardflow. And 3 copies are not enough to really use them as your third copy may be in the 20 last cards of your deck.
I'd remove them, remove the Obtenebration skill to include a vampire that already has OBT. And if you want to play combat, there are a few cards that could be useful, such as Fame.
Keep in mind that Political Struggle requires one action before being able to enter combat. 2 rush cards seem very low if you plan to enter combat to use your combat cards (since you won't block much).Action (10)
2x Black Metamorphosis
6x Govern the Unaligned
2x Political Struggle
These are good cards, but are they worth the action?Equipment (2)
2x Kevlar Vest
I'm not sure that lot of stealth is compatible with a combat deck. Are you planning to stealth your bleeds for 1, or do you prefer entering combat?Action Modifier (14)
2x Bonding
2x Conditioning
6x Shadow Play
4x Shroud of Night
Eyes of the Night is a great card, but you'll never get pass 1 intercept. If you plan to block, at least include an Aranthebes and a WMRH Talk Radio for extra intercept.Reaction (14)
4x Deflection
6x Eyes of the Night
4x On the Qui Vive
Too bad Under Siege and Badr don't work together (Badr is Independent)
27 combat cards don't make a combat deck, you'd need almost the double.Combat (27)
9x Arms of the Abyss
4x Dark Steel
4x Entombment
4x Immortal Grapple
6x Torn Signpost
Also, it's weird to play Arms of the Abyss / Entombment, and Immortal Grapple/Torn Signpost since those are two mutually exclusive combat strategies.
I'd start with some copies of Fame before adding a Dragonbound. Dragonbound is not a great idea when you play Entombment since vampires will have the blood to get out.Event (1)
1x Dragonbound
So, my advice would be to switch to some real oust module and strategy, for instance:
Fame (at least 4)
Arms of the Abyss / Entombment
Haven Uncovered / Political Struggle
The strategy would be to send to torpor the Fame with Entombment, then rescue it (by spending his blood), then send it back again to torpor.
