Gangrel. Noddist. Camarilla. Once each turn, LivesByProxy may burn 1 blood to lose Protean until the end of the turn and gain your choice of superior Auspex 
, Obfuscate 
, or Potence 
for the current action.
For example:
I've Had Worse
Combat
or 
: Prevent 1 non-aggravated damage this round.
: Prevent 2 non-aggravated damage this round. Draw a card (and discard down.)
: As above, and gain 1 blood from the blood bank when this combat is over.
Why has the "X OR Y" discipline requirement format not used? Seems like it could be appropriate for some cards, add flexibility, possible interesting designs, etc, etc.
(Trivia: I've Had Worse is a meme / inside joke from FFG's LCGs. They always prevent or cancel damage, or something similar.)
Discuss.

I phrased the question wrong - I'm not sure how to phrase it, and my characters in the subject title are limited. I don't think those anarch cards follow the formatting I'm asking about. They're similar, but different.
Those anarch cards operate like this:
More than one discipline can be used to play this card.
[X]: Effect 1
[Y]: Effect 2
[Z]: Effect 3
(You can get the different effects all in one action, provided you have the required discipline.)
What I'm asking about is:
[X] or [Y]: Effect 1 <---- this formatting
[Y]: Effect 2
[Z]: Effect 3
A card with multiple effects, but you still must choose only one effect, but one of those effects (the first) has a flexible requirement: you need X OR Y discipline.
These are different, no?
