Trying to do a lot of things. I'd focus some to see if it can manage.

Maybe I missed something, but I don't see Proxy Kissed being all that in this deck as only March needs to Force and Potence can be gotten with Potence, and The Path of Bone only affects seven cards (ignoring Sudario). I'd rather leverage the intercept from Shell Break with some intercept locations.

Reaction (14 cards)
3 On the Qui Vive
4 Forced Awakening
1 Wake with Evening`s Freshness
5 Deflection
1 Delaying Tactics

Don't trust Forced Awakening with the levels of intercept this deck can generate. Eluding the Arms of Morpheus probably won't cost much more in terms of blood, maybe one or two copies would be okay, better with Atonement added (in theory). More OtQV or WWEF would also work.

Combat seems unsatisfying. Probably rather have more Gates and less Increaseds.

My experience with Shell Break is that it's slow to get set up, which means you get murdered by votes in the meantime (Enzo, DI, DT doesn't seem like enough), murdered to the extent that anyone cares anything about what you're doing ... of course.
