Love those gentlemen discussion

@AaronC:
Because I really object to the ruling on "move" made by LSJ regarding Villein. The words "Move", "Steal" and "Transfer" are not used consistently on minion cards.

The idea behind Villein seems to be to have the Methuselah remove 2+ blood. So why should the minion be allowed to have less than 2 blood?

I would change it to "Move 4 (or 5, whatever) blood from this vampire to your pool", not "up to 4 blood". This is a trifle representing an elder vampire sucking down some younger blood quickly - you shouldn't get to choose how much you take.

If you must move 4 (or whatever), then there's no reason to stick with an "at least 2" concept. Obviously if you try to move 4 and the vampire has less than 4, you can only move as many counters as the vampire has. I think it's okay to suck the vampire dry or even fail to get any off the vampire at all. The modified effect isn't as good as normal Villein, so it shouldn't be hard to cycle.
