Card idea: Pawn influence

Name: Pawn influence
Type: Master

Card text: Choose a ready vampire you control and older vampire in your uncontrolled region. Burn one blood from the chosen vampire in your ready region and then move up to 3 blood from that vampire to the vampire in your uncontrolled region. Only one Pawn influence may be played in a turn.

"To understand the nature of the people one must be a prince, and to understand the nature of the prince, one must be of the people.
- Niccolo Machiavelli

What do you think? Maybe this could diversify influence strategy

Too good, imho. Some drawback(s) should be added.
eg. "Tap the chosen vampire" or "During next influence phase you get 2 less transfers" and/or "choose vampire of the same clan"

or may be do the same, but tap the ready vampire and of course, he has to be of the same clan.

And i like the idea of two less transfer during the next turn

Why is that too powerful? There are plenty on better master cards and for giants there is always better to use info highway or zillah's valley. Tapping the minion could be another cost but having to burn blood ensures that you 'lose' when using it...

I like the idea a lot! Having a (slightly less efficient) Villein+Zillah's valley combo is still quite strong, so perhaps some limitations would be in order.

Name: Pawn influence
Type: Master

Card text: Choose a ready vampire with capacity less than 6 you control and older vampire of the same clan as the chosen vampire in your uncontrolled region. Burn one blood from the chosen vampire in your ready region and then move up to 2 blood from that vampire to the vampire in your uncontrolled region.


Reasoning is something like: Grooming the Protege moves up to 3 blood, so Pawn Influence should be less efficient - hence only two blood. Also, adding clan limitation is an imitation from Grooming. I also added a capacity limitation, so the text fits the theme slightly better.


Oh, yeah, to Mika's last question: Pawn Influence - total of couters used/transferred: 2-4, Zillah's valley 5. Since you almost need to combine Zillah's valley with Villein to regain lost pool, Pawn Influence as original design is quite powerful master module wise.

Reasoning having a limitation with a crypt accelerator master is, that every other card has one as well. I just don't think, that "only usable once per turn" in a master card is an actual limitation

What problem is that card supposed to solve? Do you really think the game needs more masters? More bloat? Besides, a balanced version of your card has already been printed:

Social Ladder

Master

Master.
Put this card on a ready vampire you control. During your influence phase, remove this vampire from the game and move all the blood counters from that vampire to an older vampire in your uncontrolled region.
