Flavor text: "“I'm not upset that you lied to me, I'm upset that from now on I can't believe you.” ― Friedrich Nietzsche

Art Notes: An old parchment with written in small text with large letters above that says "Banned".

World of Darkness reference: Auspex has multiple ways to gain insight into the actions of other vampires. For the sake of choosing one I will go with Auspex 6: The Mind Revealed Players Guide to High Clans Pg. 150, which allows you to read someone's mind like an open book. Melpominee has multiple abilities to deliver a suggestion within a message and they have the ability to inflict a derangement on those that hear such as Melpominee 7, Haunting Melody from Lore of the Bloodlines Pg. 27.

How does this card address a compelling game need?: This gives Daughters of Cacophony another way to directly interact with cards of another player. Since they lack a way to easily intercept their predator and find their actions easily blocked by their prey, this is a flexible card that can slow an aggressive predator while providing an option to threaten their prey.

Here is text from the last update

This card does not need the text addition. The pool damage is enough, adding the blood loss is too much, otherwise it does exactly what you would expect usually punishing one dimensional bleed decks by increasing the cost of Deflection, Govern the Unaligned or Villein. One of the more interesting aspects of this card is since it effects your own cards, you are more likely to want to use cards that other players are less likely to be using. Surprisingly this card is quite good in a Nosferatu Antitribu voting deck. It isn't bad for Harbinger of Skulls though it does punish Giovanni. In fact, if someone has access to Auspex and they are playing a voting deck... then at least 1 copy of this card is likely to be an auto-include.
