Political Snare.
costs 1 blood .
+1 stealth action. Put this card on a minion controlled by your prey. While in combat with this minion, your minions get an optional maneuver on the first round of combat.

(D)action. Burn 2 blood from a ready vampire controlled by your prey or steal upto 3 blood from a vampire in torpor.
.Put this card in play. Unique (@ ). Your prey burns 2 pool during each of his discard phases if he or she did not attempt any actions on his prey since your last turn. Any Methuselah can burn this card by burning 1 pool and spending 4 transfers during his own influence phase.

-your thoughts? if you could rewrite it shorter while keeping its spirit intact, that would be much appreciated!

Step 1: Remove the text?
Step 2: has too much power.
Step 3: Name seems to suggest Presence card.

Vampire Mugging
Action
1 blood
Burn 2 blood from a ready or uncontrolled vampire controlled by your prey. Take 1 blood from the blood bank if successful.
Put this into play. A Methuselah cannot control more than one Vampire Mugging. During your untap phase, you may tap a Gangrel antitribu vampire you control to cause your prey to burn 2 pool. Your prey can burn this card by taking a action that costs the burning of the edge.

Juggernaut is spot on for me.

Maybe I'm missing something, but how does give a Methuselah a really strong army of rats? Right now it feels like a card. Also the part just feels random. And the name seems like it would have something to do with politics, but it doesn't.

So with thous in mind, what about...

Urban Legend
Action
1 blood

Tap a vampire that has more blood then the acting vampire and steal one blood.

Put this card in play. During your discard phase your prey burns 2 pool if he/she has no ready untapped vampire's. Any vampire can burn this card as a vote, Titled get one less vote in that referendum.

Makes it more fighty on the large vamp end and more subversive on the small vamp side and all around less like a card.

Actually, my version was always about the idea of City Gangrel going around and basically mugging people/vampires in the alleys of the city and then vanishing. So, the idea being that if you got a small cabal of City Gangrel in your City (or near your City) then they could be going around terrorising the locals (hence the tap to burn 2 pool text) but you can drive them off ( action and the edge as cost).

@ pullen: agree about the -flavor of the card. and the misleading title.

your version @ inferior version is fine by me, @ it's the exact opposite of what i had originally intended the card to do (i had intented the card to produce a string of -non-political-forward motion, as per juggernaut's version). perhaps:

Urban Legend
Action
1 blood:blood:

Tap a vampire who has more blood than this acting vampire and steal one blood.
as above, but @ +1 stealth and steal an additional blood.

there are only 23 vampires with for ALL groupings, starting at , a good half of them are and upwards. being mostly unable to multi-act, having no heavy bleeding/voting capability means the !gangrel still have a long way to go towards becoming an A-list clan anyway. a !Gangrel Palla grande/Glutto-variation would go a long way.

>>> @ juggernaut: thanks for your much improved version!!! i like your mugging
i guess a concern could be Nocturn theater in conbination with this, so perhaps changing it to "... During you Master phase you may tap an untapped Gangrel antitribu you control to cause your prey to burn 2 pool. etc..."
