The Dream of Sirius

This is a deck concept I would like some help with. Basically, play all the group 4-5 9 cap FoS + Nakhthorheb, get them out fast and cheap with stuff like Eternals of Sirius, Mesu Bedshet, and Enchant Kindred, then get as much out of them as possible before they run out of blood, and then golconda and bring out a new one. What would be the best thing to actually do with those guys? Here is a first draft of sorts that I just threw together which probably could be much better, so suggestions welcome.

This one is basically just a very aggressive lunge left deck. You get Nakh out first hopefully on turn 2 with Sirius, then he helps you get one or two others out fast and cheap with mesu bedshets and enchants, and hopefully you draw a second sirius to help with that also so you can get a 9 cap out with him at turn 3. Then you just bring more out as much as you draw enchants, mesus, and eternals, and when a 9 cap is empty just put him in the Setite recycling program with golconda.

I think that Khobar Towers would be a better choice than Golconda.
Once you have it in play, you can use it as many times as you need to...

(I'd still stick with 4 of them, to ensure that you get it early enough to matter.)

To go with the Khobar Towers, you should toss in some copies of Form of Corruption as well. That way you can potentially steal a vampire and toss them off the Khobar Towers too.

You should definitely go with a lot more Eternals of Sirius. They are the real winner. I run about 10 in 70 card deck.
When you bring out Nakthorheb on turn 2, you have a *real* speed advantage, as he can act 2 times each turn.
Don't waste time on Enchants and Mesu Bedshets, use Revelation of Ecstasy to put a corroption counter on your prey, then bleed anblockably with no stealth.
Next turn, when you have the edge, use Enticement to do up to 7 pool damage each turn (this requires that you have a couple of small vampires playing corruption counters for Revelation of Desire).

Hardcore responsible bleed.

Don't worry about having a lot of Eternals of Sirius, they gain you pool in the mid- to endgame.

The reason I don't play any more Eternals is that 6 is all that I own. However, here is somewhat tuned up version of the deck now that I have had an evening to think over it, main change is that this one has a small voting angle added in, simply because Reckless Agitation adds so huge amount of extra pool damage that I am adding a couple of those in even if I might not be able to play them in every table. Also switched some of the obf stealth cards to perfect paragons for vote push that can also be used as stealth, and also added a Ferraille and finally took out mesus for mind numbs and shrunk the deck down a bit more to 70 cards. I still prefer Golconda over Khobar Towers because Khobar Towers costs 2 pool, and can be stolen and burned, and Golconda can also be used on other peoples vampires to either burn 2 pool from prey early on, or to get rid of a troublesome vampire later on. Well anyway, here is the updated version.

After some more contemplation made a couple more changes. First, I realized that I will likely never have more than 3 vampires out, so I don't really need 5 different ones in the crypt but took out the weakest link, Pentweret, and isntead added one more of each Neferu and Porphyrion that have the most useful specials. Then I took out the enchant kindreds because, why bleed or bloat, when I can do both at same time with legal? Then finally I replaced the mind numbs with revelation of ecstasy, which in turn allowed me to replace Aires with Revelation of Desire for more bleed with less blood.
