Card Idea: Baal's Caress

Since there is a Path to reduce the cost of cards, the inferior should probably be limited to once per combat.

Considering that you can't count on the path, and playing multiple don't help you much (it don't deal any damage, it's moot if enemy have -43 strength or 0), and that it have 1 blood cost, it's not really that important. There is path for horrid form too, and it's also unlimited.

I *can* add it, but it would make it weaker against DI and that's it. It's not as good as carrion crows or immortal grapple to make it DI bait.

It's good card, worse than carrion crows, but what is better ?

Well, it's more a mix between Claw of the dead / chiroptean marauder and Immortal grapple. A carrion crow deck that have access to inf quietus would likely play both, since it protect against the main weakness of carrion crow, Combat end.

It don't help against combat ends (and dodges), combat end is not ranged strike.

Needs to be for the duration of the current round only. Otherwise the inferior is like Apparition and Thoughts Betrayed in one package.

You can still dodge and s:ce, and use hand strikes and non-ranged strikes. Inferior skin of the adder also hose the opposing minion this way, nephandus too.

I would precise it then. The rulebook des not say explicitely if combat end is a ranged strike, it work as if it was a ranged strike, and while it may be clear for most person I believe a clarification or rule reminder would cost nothing and avoid questions.
