Question: since Mouthpiece is an action modifier that requires an acting minion, it couldn't allow the acting minion to use action cards (like Govern) because it would be too late. The acting minion would have to have already declared an action. Correct?

Mouthpiece, Action Modifier, Dominate
[dom] +1 bleed. You cannot play another action modifier to increase this bleed.
[DOM] Only usable by a ready vampire other than the acting minion. The acting minion may play cards that require basic Dominate as a vampire for the remainder of this action.

Correct. The basic intention here is Nocturn bleeds, vampire plays Mouthpiece at DOM, Nocturn plays Mouthpiece at dom. (Maybe I should throw in some Computer Hacking for the Nocturns.)

I see. 2 cards for this effect seems a bit much. But then you can always use them to give your vamps +1 bleed.

Two easy-to-cycle cards to make your prey lose an additional pool seems ok. Not great, maybe, but ok. Mpiece also lets the Nocturn play Shroud of Absence...

I like the idea! I would up the Shroud of Absence count if possible to exploit this combo. Also, I find 10 copies is not really enough in a 90 card library for cards you want to play a lot of all the time (nocturn, mouthpiece). 13-14 is a safer bet. Or reduce the size of the library. I think you could safely lose the Info Highway and Dominions.
