Random idea for chameleon abuse

You totally missed the point.
Banishment allows to steal the banished vampire after he comes back in play. What cordovader points out is that you'll be able to steal one vampire maybe, then you won't be able to play more Chameleons because vampires will have been out for more than one turn (it will be too late).

Doh, god point, ok, deck needs total rebuild then. but thanks for explaining that

And what will you do if, after playing your first Chameleon (taking into account that it will be successful), other Methuselahs don't bring out new vampires ?

You have no real plan B for that...

Plan B if no one brings out any other vamps at all?
AWESOME, bleeds for 1 ftw.

The main issue I see in this deck is kind of same as with form of corruption, only worse. Form of Corruption discourages your prey to go forward, this one discourages your prey from spending their pool to bring out new vampires, which combined with the really small pressure you are putting on their pool means that in most cases you will just end up screwing the game of whoever is sitting front of you before you get ousted.

Difference being Form of Corruption only targets your prey. If my prey clams up, its banishment crosstable and chameleon time

Lets paint this scenario:

-Your prey spends 9 pool on a vamp.
-You steal it with Chameleon.
-He's not willing to take other vampires out nor spend pool.

With 12 Shalmath in your crypt, how do you expect to burn 21 pool with bleeds for 1 with Shalmath?

There's no way you're winning a single game with this deck...
