Weenie !Gangrel Toolbox

Hi all,
I am exploring new clans in VTES and am trying to make this !Gangrel deck work. I'm not that set on the current construction of it, but my crypt selection is somewhat limited. I could add some Gangrel to round it out, but then I can't play abbot or leathery hide. How would you change the deck to be stronger?

No space for a Path of the Feral Heart or two? Weenies with pro become a lot more scary when Claws of the Dead is free, and, as you're looking to be toolboxy, you should be able to protect the path fairly well.

With only 1 Earth Control, I expect you to struggle to get your toolup actions through, so I'd look to find space for a bit more stealth. Twisted Forest is a good clan toy to help out, but I'd also want to add a bit more on top of that.

Flesh of Marble is better than Leathery Hide: it works against Carrion Crows, it works against additional strikes and you can cycle it even if your opponent dodges.

I thought about having the path in there and it was part of my original idea, but I looked at the number of costy protean cards (5) and decided that blood gain was probably better. Oh, I forgot to mention that the path of lilith is really lilith's blessing. My ARDB doesn't have lilith's blessing so I use that as a place holder.

What would you drop to throw in some stealth?

Hmh. Have Ivory Bow.

Always the tricky question. I'd drop the Computer Hackings for 2 or 3 more Camera Phones and the rest as extra stealth cards. I'm a big fan of continue action effects, so I'm tempted to suggest adding a couple Form of Mists, but I don't think it's a good fit for this deck as most minions will only have pro, so I'd add 2x Rapid Change and 3-4x Earth Controls.
