Card Idea: Thin-blooded Shocktrooper

Here is another idea for helping the poor !gangrel a bit. Both giving them some more forward momentum as well as going with their diablerie theme.

Card Name: Thin-blooded Shocktrooper
Cardtype: Action
Clan: Gangrel antitribu
Cost: 2 blood

+1 Stealth action, requires a non-sterile Gangrel antitribu.
Put this card into play, it becomes a 1 capacity sterile, non-unique Gangrel antitribu with basic protean . If the acting vampire is titled, you may move one blood from any ready unique Gangrel antitribu you control to the shocktrooper. If the shocktrooper would go to torpor, he is burned instead. During your untap phase, if the number of shocktroopers you control is greater than the number of unique Gangrel antitribu you control, tap all shocktroopers. You may burn the shocktrooper to make a bloodhunt called on an unique Gangrel antitribu you control to fail.

"The shovelheads aren't notably strong or smart, but even fools have their uses." -Xendil Charmer, Gangrel antitribu Priscus.

I think by definition thin blooded vampires are clanless. Also, make it require a vampire less than 4 capacity and make it cost a blood or a pool.

It costs 2 blood already. And not all thin-blooded are considered clanless, Basir is good example in the game already. This is based on the types of mass embraces sabbat are known to do when they need cannon fodder for some major attack (these are generally called shovelheads). Hence why its improved if its done by a titled vampire since its more organized then.

Sure could make it cost only 1 blood and require only sabbat instead of clan and make them clanless, and have no discplines, but that might improve discplineless weenie swarms too much. This current design is specifically aimed at helping !Gangrel who I am sure most people can agree need help. It will both give them some expendable rushers/diablerists, and some extra bleeding power, and with basic protean they can still be somewhat dangerous in combat, especially if you have the path in play.

Gangrel aren't too much into mass embrace, and not more than the other, as already said thin-blooded are by definition clanless (Basir is not a thin-blood, he's just a regular high-gen), diablerie is just a situational fun tool, and diablerie as !gangrel perk is understandable as disavantadge but not so much as advantage (so !assamite must deal with blood hunt the regular way and !gangrel just sacrifice some peon ? Also, !Brujah are also on the turf).

I'd better have a good non-unique vampire. I have already proposed one.

!Brujah have Dogs of War for the same thing (and generally lot more titles for that matter), nearly all of the !assamites are black hand and can thus use Ebony Fox Hunt for it.

It feels like you're trying to stuff too much onto one card. And if you're happy with Ebony Fox Hunt, why is that apparently good but Gangrel Conspiracy (which is free) isn't?
