Nerf on Imbued Powers

Voting is troubling for Imbued, but combat can be much moreso. I say *can be* because it depends on the combat. Agg damage? Ignored. Rush? Di/Determine/Flash Grenade/Imbued powers. Animalism? Crows/Bats? Trouble if they don't pop out an Ivory Bow. There is an answer for what, just like there is an answer for anything, you just have to build the right deck and have the card in hand. Welcome to VTES, right?

Voting is more the pool damage route as Banishment has no effect, nor does Kindred Segregation.

What about just not untapping at all after playing a Power? It is a simple rule change that should not effect card text afaik. I think that just banning Unmasking may weaken Imbued enough to not have this be that much of an issue.

I'd personally be more interested in seeing something like that as, say, an Event card. Perhaps a generic multi-acting-meddler.

Probably some sort of countdown timer on it (2 turns, 3 turns, something like that).

Not a stone-dead silver bullet (the Imbued deck isn't totally dead in the water), not without its own downsides. That sort of thing.

Why not making it more simple :

At anytime other than his or her controler untap phase, if a minion untap, he or she burn a blood or conviction or is tapped.
Burnt blood are put on this card. When this card has X counters, burn it.

Add master phase, because the Path of Evil Revelation don't need to be destroyed by this card.

I added a countdown.

And I don't see why the path should be more preserved than as the crow, tutu or abbot?.

And with the coubtdown, a path user will quickly be rid of the card.

Because it have nothing to do with multiacting whatsoever. And because the Path is already on the weak side.
