Chimerstry already strikes me as close to the Swiss-Army-Knife of VTES. Decent bleed

I suppose so if you consider to have decent bleed.

I'm not really fond of the card that, on sup, can both reduce bleed by potentially a lot AND send a vampire to torpor afterwards. If it were made to steal 2 blood instead of dealing damage, I'd be okay with that.

Ooh, as a steal effect you could have the superior effect costing one blood.

That card should cost a blood, its way too good for a free card, Chimerstry has very few free cards. Also the superior should have 'a minion can have only one Sham Trust' text added. And also the superior should read 'You still control this card' as otherwise its that persons vampires who could burn it.

It's why it should be free for me. The average cost of chimestry card is already a bit over one blood. If the card is too powerful, it should be made weaker but still free, not the other way around.

On another note, changing the superior to burn blood instead of doing damage would already be a significant nerf. I suppose it's damage in order to better punish Villein abuse.

"Unique" on the superior effect would make the card limited to once per turn in effect, since all bleed would happen before you have a chance to burn it. "A minion can have only one Sham Trust" would be a more gentle nerf
