Cards for Quietus

Sadness of the Bard
+1 stealth action
put this card in play. All methuselahs must speak very very quietly or burn 1 pool.
as above, but there is no penalty for loudly singing karaoke.


... i honestly have no clue what quietus is supposed to do anyway

have the same idea as Deep song - a very versatile card which both help oust and help combat - but in a slightly more original way.

Yes, althoughI think that tapping aspect is worth retaining, plagiarism or not - it's a strong mechanic and Quietus needs all the help it can get...

I like reclaiming the blood as a concept, i dislike its inferior. Refining seems like suboptimal retaining the quick blood.

I dig the combat card though.

If qui, pro, and nec all had good actions like deepsong, theyd be on the right track.

Govern, deep song, and other stuff has 2 good abilities, so are awesome.

If qui had a stealth rush with a built in manuever at qui and bleed at +1 stealth and +1 bleed at QUI, its bexhelped.
Obviously, such a cars wouldxcost a blood.
If pro had a rush with a prevent one non agg at littel and bleed at +1 at sup, itd be better

Nec could have bleex @+1 bleex for nec and an undirected action to get +1 hand size for the turn and untap at NEC itd be better

But those style cards improve things alot, imo

Hidden Tormentor



+1 Stealth
1



Burn 2 blood or life from a minion with a contract naming this acting vampire. If this action is blocked the blocking minion cannot dodge or S:CE.



As above but for 3 blood or life.

You can find something equally strong in another way.

Lure of the assassin
Action modifier
Useable only on a bleed action, when the action is declared
[qui] +1 bleed. You cannot play another action modifier to increase the bleed amount.
[QUI] Choose a minion controlled by the target of the bleed who cn attempt to block. He attempt to block. After this action resolve, he cannot block or play reaction until the end of the turn.

(the formulation is certainly problematic in regard to some cards, but the basic idea should be clear enough)

Unlike Deep song, you cannot use it on an already tapped vampire. But you can use it to remove a minion from the equation for your other minion, and you can use it to enter combat (except if you have permanent stealth )

Deep song is a bit powerful for my taste. But I can understand other powerful card to match Deep Song ; I just want them to have some differences.

I am rather disappointed that every proposed version follows a template:
qui: +1 bleed, no other blabla
QUI: do something in combat

I bet there are more imaginative ways to reward combat decks some pool damage, e.g. existing:

Predator's Transformation

Action Modifier
Combat

[abo] [REFLEX] Cancel a frenzy card played on this vampire as it is played.
[abo] [ACTION MODIFIER] Only usable as the action is announced. +1 stealth, even if stealth is not yet needed.
[ABO] [ACTION MODIFIER] [COMBAT] Only usable when this vampire burns a minion controlled by your prey, either in combat or as a action. Your prey burns two pool. A vampire may play only one Predator's Transformation at superior each action.
