less is more... ?

Many (most?) anarch cards that costs blood could easily cost 1 less.

Ossian
Ally
3 Pool
Unique werewolf with 4 life. 2 strength, 0 bleed. Red List.
Ossian may enter combat with any vampire as a +1 stealth action. In the first round of combat with a vampire who has played a card that requires Auspex during this action, that vampire cannot use any maneuvers or strikes. Ossian gains 1 life at the end of each round for each blood the opposing vampire used to heal damage or prevent destruction that round.

It´s not normal that a zip gun, wwstick together with target vitals, which require no disciplines is far better than 80% of combat with disciplines and more cost efficient.

I think this is true. But I think the cards released before WWS and TV are okay, the disciless combat is just too good/cheap.

You know, how about a Path card which requires a ready Anarch and reduces cost of anarch cards for 1 blood.

Some card need not have their cost lowered. Mainly Monkey Wrench. Also, other card don't need to have their cost lowered ; all too often they are superior-discipline level for inferior discipline level, and a lot of the time they don't cost more than their regular counterpart anyway.

(as a side note, I believe anarch on their current form are exactly the opposite of what it is supposed to be lore-wise and that anarch theme should be left out until everything else is working as intended, and then either be fixed or completely overhauled)

In the spirit of Finbury's call to fix some wallpaper, turn these into trifles. (Whole text provided for convenience.) Not all are wallpaper, but definitely sub-par and readily boosted by Trifle mechanic.
