Keeping Up

"each unlock" and "each time a minion unlocks" means the same thing to me. Two commenters after you read the idea and provided a constructive revision.

We have this thing called UNLOCK STEP. "Each unlock" is very ambiguous whether it refers to the step or when the minion (or in this case, the card keeping up) actually unlocks. Ankhas way of writing is much clearer.

Every time a minion unlocks. 2nd Tradition, freak drive, etc.

I'm glad they understood what you meant. I didn't.

I contribute on the card ideas forums pretty frequently and I get a lot of that. By brain don't work right. I must be a Malkavian.

Okay, I am really confused. What problem is this card solving? Do we think that Fortitude needs the ability for multiple unlocks without blood cost?

Maybe I might be missing something... but isn't this card way better version of Rutor's Hand?

Not really. Basically you'll get this trigger only occasionally. Notice the 'not during unlock phase' clause, however that'll eventually be realized into the card text? That means only when your predator (again more restrictions) freaks, uses animalism untap or sect based reactions (2nd Trad, Under Siege...), stuff like that. It's frequent but not guaranteed.

Also no extra stealth on the action.

Sure, doesn't cost blood, but hardly just a better Rutor's. I'd say.

The latest wording works the best, for sure.
