HoS clan card idea

Echoes from the Shadowlands
Requires Harbingers of Skulls
Master.
Put this card in play. Tap this card when a location would be burned from play. Take control of that location instead and put a shadow counter on it; if the location was on a minion, put it on a Harbinger of Skulls you control.
Locations with shadow counters are not counted as locations for non-action cards or effects.
You may tap a location with a shadow counter to give an acting Harbinger of Skulls +1 stealth.

illustration: A vampiric figure enters (or exits) a dilapidated or demolished modern building with a different, thriving ghostly building superimposed (or vice-versa).

The idea is good and flavorful, but it's too complicated for too little. Also, I really don't know how the ghost of the parthenon can help an Harbinger to be less conspicuous when he hack your computer or while he is trying to diablerize an inner circle.

Is it too little? You'll have to pack a few arson to burn a few of your own locations, but with Fortitude for multiacting that's not too big a burden. Four MPA (one to play this, three to play locations) and three burn actions and you have +3 permastealth -- and the locations still do whatever else they do. Permastealth is pretty strong. The chance to burn and take control of other folks' locations is just gravy.

and three burn actions

And the pool to play the locations.

And drawing every moving part in the good order.

And the fact you need thoses arson to pass. It's a +0 stealth undirected action

All of that to use thoses location for +stealth instead of their regular action ? I am sorry, it's very weak, especially since you need three of thoses to pass through a 2nd trad.

Opium den is a good card because it don't need an infinitely long setup to work. Here it's way too much work for anything that don't imply a direct oust.

Edit : however, Dummy corporation is trouble with this card. It may not be your intent, but quasi permanent -2 bleed can be hellish.

I'll just leave this here.

Insurance Scam

Put this card in play. During your turn, you may tap this card and burn X locations you control to gain X pool.

And then you... I dunno. Bleed with bleed permanents and Heidelberg?

How about a HoS location which gives +1 stealth but requires you to burn a different location as it is played? You cannot use more than one such card to give stealth on a given action.
