[Submission] Tracer (combat press) was created by Ankha
Name: Tracer
Cardtype: Combat
Strike: put this card on the opposing minion. Once each combat, a minion opposing this minion gets an optional press. This minion may burn this card as a +1 stealth action.
A generic combat card that gives a permanent press against a minion. Useful when you have multiple rushers, or have played a Frontal Assault
Pro: it works even during the combat you play it
Con: it's a strike and can be dodged. Doesn't work under Immortal Grapple, long range or combat ends.

At the very least, make it work at long range (think bullet with a tracer in it).
But I don't really see much use. You need a lot of combats for this to be useful offensively.
Note that you can use it to press to end, beginning with the one where you use it. I doubt it's the intended use, but it seem more useful that way. Maybe not terribly useful, but useful.

I'd also like to see a much meatier version of Mark of Damnation...
In a Nadima Hatch the viper deck, this is pure gold
Mark of Damnation
[Action] Action
[Serpentis] Serpentis
[1 Blood]
[ser]
Put this card on a vampire controlled by your prey. Any minion in combat with that vampire gets +1 strength and gets one optional press to continue combat. The vampire with this card may burn this card as an action.
[SER] As above, but opposing minions get +2 strength.
Artist(s): Alan Rabinowitz
Set(s): AH:C2, FN:PS

Most combat-y decks would massively prefer to kill someone in the first combat, really. And going to a second round is also a bit long-winded, exposing me to more damage opportunities etc. So I'd usually prefer first round combat, with additional strikes. And given the action deficit, I'd rather just one minion did the beating up, so the second minion can bleed (or beat up another minion).
What decks are you using that would like to use a second minion to rush you, rather than play Psyche! and have the first vampire hit you again? Weenies with mono-pot and flung junk or something? Not really seeing the gap being filled here.

I could see it for cheap ally rush deck who then use Molotov Cocktail. Of course, Nephandus cut the middle man and is already one of the best option to have a swarm of cheap allies.

The card fits the same kind of decks Molotov Cocktail fits.

Allies deck mainly, and some weenie decks such as !Gangrel embrace Leathery Hide.What decks are you using that would like to use a second minion to rush you, rather than play Psyche! and have the first vampire hit you again?
