Seems like you really want the big guys in your crypt to come out first
and Enchant down to the smaller ones. I would try to fit a total of 4
Info Highways and/or Dreams of the Sphinx to speed up your transfers.
You could get rid of 2 Suddens for that and then have 15 master cards,
which is reasonable.

I would diversify Conservative Agitations with the KRCs. Otherwise,
one Delaying Tactics and the 3 KRCs in your hand are useless.

Why not Heart of the City instead of the Laptop? Saves you pool.

I don't know about the Sensory Dep. angle. Seems sketchy.

Hm. It's just occurred to me that this is mostly votey with only a
splash of bleed, and that bleed (Enchant + Entrance) is also meant to
be multifunctional. I think you might have more luck with a bleed +
vote style deck. Swap out some votes for some Social Charms or Legal
Manips. Now your first action can be an Uncontrolled bleed, then you
freak drive or something, and then call a vote. That will make the
Uncontrolleds more useful as well.

Also, once you have more Presence actions, a Marijava Ghoul becomes
more worthwhile.

5 Scalpels seems like a lot. Maybe drop one or 2, and you can use the
slots to add bleed cards if you want to go that way.

Viva la violencia!

Why Resilience. Seems like Soak or Rolling with the Punches would
prevent more damage while maintaining flexibility.

I would recommend finding room for some Flashes. Maneuver to long
helps foil Immortal Grapple, and pressing to end will help stretch out
your damage prevention.

good luck!
