but thematically, being great at [...] not getting ousted is what they always should have had.

I dont' see why the should have good intercept option ??? I mean, protean never had been a good "intercept" thing ??? They have what give and it is OK...

And don't forget that they have the 2 best combat ends that exist in VtES !!! (which is something !!)

is fine, i've heard that Earth Meld and Form of Mist are decent ... On the other hand, i welome new combat option.

Looking at gangrel cards I'm disappointed. I mean, both are good, but neither of them makes me think about creating any new decks. They're kind of cards that doesn't bring anything new to the game. Still, they'll probably find some slots in decks as solid cards. They are just soo booring. Hopefully other cards for Gangrel will be more inspirational.
From all the shown cards till now I like assamite the most.

Why Trap when you have Shadow of the Wolf?

Shadow of the Wolf
Protean combat card
2 blood
Only usable before range is chosen.
[pro] This vampire gets an additional strike with +1 strength during this round of combat.
[PRO] As above, with an optional press.

It may exist, but I dont own any. Id rather keep my blood so when I computer hack I can affor Horrific Countenance

As for Protean having the two best SCE in the game; yes, its cool. Whole decks built around it.

But, outside Slava and Henry twister, I still see a metric assload of Ahrimanes and Akunanse getting good milage out of inclans, Gangrel not so much. Shadow of the wolf, mythic form, and body flare all do something worth one less blood or costing worth one more effect (shadow being each round getting an additional). Protean sucks, thus gangrel suck. Fixing protean and giving them clan cards seems to be a good angle to helping them. Multi discipline cards with inclans is also a fair angle, and worked here.

Brandon, trap is < conquer the beast

It's a fair point, and there are definitely more interesting cards we could be showing off. However, we're trying to show off and advertise as many artists as we can. They've done a ton of work for us, and the least we can do for them is show them off and link to their portfolios. We've done some of that with the art previews in the Designers' Diary entries, and we're finally getting around to some of the other artists. You'll see the rest of the set soon enough anyway.
