Weenie Obeah deck and Ideas

I would try to focus on three main Obeah cards, preferably ones that will work well at the outferior for your weenie crypt (i.e. Anesthetic Touch at aus). Splashing some others for your Infernal Pact dude and Blanche is good, but I suggest having a reliable focus. That's what helps Inceptor be good.

The three cards I plan on plastering on Inceptor are spirit marionette, gift of sleep and Pentitent Resilience which allows the 1-cap to tap/bleed/block deny and stealth.

Any reason not to replace half of those Inceptors with Agent of Power?

Definitely a possibility. But a much less permanent solution. I rather have 1 extra minion that can play OBE cards every turn rather than miss the opportunity to draw an Inceptor early and only have obe for a single turn via Agent of Power. Agent of Power would normally be used when not playing with !tremere. In this case, Infernal Pact replaced Agent of Power.

Penitent Resilience won't work with Inceptor because it is a dual discipline card. It is also not that great. Gift of Sleep is basically just +1 stealth, unless you are about to enter combat with an ally.

What about Spirit Marionette, Anesthetic Touch, and Enhanced Senses? It enables an auspex/obeah angle with good offensive and defensive capabilities. It works with weenie !Trem or Inceptors or Blanche. The outferior SM can be used by !Trem with dom or 1-caps with dom (i.e. Royce) for bleed at +1 bleed.

I'm playing this on lackey and I just found out that dual disciplines don't work with Inceptor. Total bummer. I got owned by guns but the stealth/bleed aspect of it worked quite well otherwise. Anesthetic Touch was in the original deck. I think I'll put them back in but it won't save me from guns or grapples and provides no real hitback. It helps against animalism but otherwise... having said that, it's still very good and should make a return. I like your idea though. What about Peacemaker on the Inceptor? -2 bleed on all minions is pretty solid and -2 strength no weapons means that the little guy has a better shot at surviving combat. Maybe Peacemaker, Touch, Marionette?

EDIT: Even against animalism, it does not do THAT much to help come to think of it...

You can Anesthetic under grapple IIRC.
