Card idea: My Best Friend (melee weapon related card) was created by Ankha
Name: My Best Friend
Cardtype: Combat
Cost: 1 blood
Only usable before range is determined. Only usable by a vampire with no melee weapon.
This minion equips with the first non-unique melee weapon card you find in your library (working down from the top, requirements and cost apply as normal). Shuffle afterward.
The idea is to increase the access to melee weapons cards that are usually expensive (2 pool) and not worth taking the action in the end (or for that cost, better equip a .44 magnum).
It mustn't be better than Gift of Bellona though.
Name: Gift of Bellona
[BL:R1, LoB:R]
Cardtype: Action Modifier
Discipline: Valeren/Auspex
[aus] If this action is blocked, your hand size is one card larger during the resulting combat.
[val] Only usable when an action to equip with a weapon is successful. Untap this acting vampire.
[VAL] Only usable when an action to equip with a weapon from your hand is blocked. Before combat begins, equip this vampire with the weapon instead of placing it in your ash heap (pay cost as normal). During the first round of this combat, that weapon cannot be used.

(The cost of the weapon could be reduced by 1 pool also if the card still doesn't make melee weapons sexy).

It seem pretty good, much better than concealed weapon for melee weapon, and does not seem uber powerful.
It need some research to see if there is not some possible exploitation. Since no non-unique weapon do aggravated damage, it's very likely fine. Still, it's very sexy
I hope to playtest that quickly (I need to convince players for that
). With wooden stake for example.

Mmm....I could see myself using this card with bang nakhs, sword of the righteous and vengeance of samiel. That would be -fun-. 
I tried making such a deck before, though with concealed weapon instead... But there was just too many moving parts and actually getting a reliable way to do those 5-6 agg damage rushes seemed too tricky at the time.
