New Deck: Music for Royalty (Improvements needed!)

This is pretty much built from scratch, figured I should elicit some comments before trying it out at my next game. General idea is to get out Daughters to provide blood gain and pool damage, and some Ventrue for votes and bleed bounce. Overcome blocking with Siren's Lure, Freak Drive, Scout and Anarch Troublemaker. Plenty of blood gain to fuel Freak Drives and other stuff.

Possible weaknesses include mixed crypt, dedicated combat deck, and not getting vote lock. Suggestions on deck improvement sorely needed.

Sources of inspiration: Saw Ian Lee's G2/3 Samedi deck with a million Freak Drives, bleed enhancers (moved around with Heidelberg Castle) and Off-Kilter. Wanted to do something similar but with a different clan. Plenty of TWDA decks with breed/boon Daughters but that's not my thing. Ben Peal's TWDA Daughters deck with Siren's Lure as "stealth".
