Coven works against Gregory, Muddled and FBI. Perfectionist or possibly even a Hunting Ground might be better.

I've never seen Veil do better than a Cloak and I've often seen players choke on a Veil they can't play. Into Thin Air on top of Lost in Crowds and Forgotten Labyrinth seems like overkill. I'd switch those to more Cloaks and Faceless Nights but this is just a gut feeling.

Neonate Breach is sometimes 1 point better than KRC and most of the time 2 points worse. Every time I've seen it played the player wished it was another KRC. Even Conservative Agitation is better if you're trying to fight Delaying Tactics.

For this deck, Eyes of Argus isn't nearly as good as On the Qui Vive. Might need to add one or two more bounces as well.

Other than that, looks pretty tight. I'd love to hear how it does in practice.

Concerning Coven and Gregory, main purpose of gregory winter is to eat torporized vampires, burning blood is not that important. On the other hand, I've missed lack of synergy between coven and other cards you've mentioned. I'll change it for something else. Maybe even hunting grounds, with parity shift, the cost of 2 pool could be even an advantage.
There is more block decks in my local meta than usually so amount of stealth is bigger. For the veil, I like it a lot. I often use it to give additional stealth for more actions. It's very good when playing some weenie and/or allies, when you can give stealth for few actions with just one card.
Neonate Breach is just a matter of preferations. It's main function is to have some versatilities against Delaying Tactics. Conservative agitation could be better, worse or just different depending on game. In my personal experience it's 50/50.
Good point with Eyes of Argus. I will switch some to on the qui vive
Thanks for help.

For refilling Maris Streck, you can also merge Quentin King.

Take a look at "Babble." It can be used to help your allies block, or cross table shenanigans.

The Rack could be a good addition to your deck.

Be careful when you fight the monsters, lest you become one.
