Card idea: The Slump

It basically empties the blood bank.

This.

I think the proposed idea is mechanically very interesting, Ankha. Floppy's sugestion makes it flow even better.

However, I agree with Ohlmann: this card hurts decks that survive by bloating while not really affecting the classic archtypes of Stealth-Bleed that survive by deflecting. Would some drawback be in order for the event? Is it's existence even a good thing?

Or maybe it should just burn when a player is ousted, to avoid confusion on counter-tracking. Probably better.

Interesting card. "Zero Sum Game" is what the effect is when it enters play. Not such a bad thing. It will force games to come to a conclusion. I think it should be burned when a Methuselah is ousted. Ousts deserve to be rewarded so giving someone six hard-earned pool should happen even if the Slump Bank is empty. Plus, but this point in the game, the table is likely to collapse due to lack of blood infusions from the edge, hunts and voter captivation.

Would a vampire which plays Govern the Unaligned at DOM miss out of the Slump Bank were empty? I guess they'd have to bleed.
