Submission - Pentex Intrusion (Villein-hoser master)

I do like the idea, but the current card is next to costless. It's a good thing for me, but it may be argued it should be an errata to game rule or to thoses card more than anything else.

(as an aside, the post that inspired you is both sarcastic and so very true)

Eh, it also hoses Minion Taps (I've seen them being used again lately), and this game does not need that. It also hoses two Blood Dolls or two Vessels on the same vamp...

Quite frankly, hosing just villein would be stupid, so nerfing minion tap along is more or less mandatory. It may be argued that there is the good minion tap/villein usage and the bad minion tap/villein spam, which this card does not distinguish.

Maybe "blood over 4" instead of "half" ?

I don't think so, because two transfer of one still net you 2 blood.

A way to make the card more interesting may be to rewrite it this way :

Name: Pentex Intrusion
Cardtype: Master
Cost: 1 pool
Master: trifle.
Put this card into play. When blood moves from a minion to a Methuselah's pool, for each blood the methuselah must remove the top card from its ash heap from play or burn 1 pool. You may burn this card during your influence phase to gain 1 transfer.

So, "regular" blood cycling should have all the card it need to power its blood recycling, and people who try to put 4 inner circle in play with the same 11 pool will have to actually play a lot of card to retrieve all that blood.

"top card" to avoid the card needing too much time for every villein.

It will impact a bit Ashur Tablet, but if you play Ashur tablet and are not greedy about pool cycling, it should be doable.

(of course, it's still a bit of a silver bullet. But it's a silver bullet that can be used to promote agressive play - after all, the best way to fill your ash heap is to play card - and the agression it generate can help the player manipulate the table the way he need it)
