Basic is just perfect.

If the advanced were just like a telepathic counter (Reduce a bleed against you by 2), i would put 4 to 6 in every Gangrel! or Assamite deck :)

I disagree. I am being bled for more than 2 pool a lot time in casual games and in tournaments even more so. And the designated target are the City Gangrel, who are in desperate need of such of tool.

Im not convinced thematically this card fits. Obf and Qui maybe, and thats because its hard to get at who assamites work for. But being hidden and fast making someone unable to bleed you for more than 2? Not feeling it. I mean, it addresses a problem assamites and city gangrel have, but id sooner see a bleed reduction reaction and a +2 stealth on an undirected action if a younger vamp is blocking at superior.

The super reducing at superior is just kinda crazy, and only falls when combat decks that bleed are yoir predator. Maybe Mattata gets a tier of souls and bleeds with deep song, or even plays Abo bleed pump, but otherwise, the drawback wont be worth playing it if yoi can be torped. Im not having Luke Fellows block Cock Robin. Heck, hes only gonna bleed for 2-3 normally, although cog+deepsong+tierofsouls with old friends migjt happen, its unlikely. You wouldnt play it agaimst most decks that rush because they will bleed for 2, then rush the guy, make you lose pool along with likely tension, them bleed more. Im thinking of germain or typical BnB builds, like pre pot, dom pot, or even what i use, dem pot.

Doesnt feel like a rrlevant drawback.

But the inf seems ok, even if i feel its off thematically.

For Nec needs bleed reduction more than obf cel, because nec can do it thematically, for has it already in vtes(just sucks) and samedi and harbingers(to a lesser degree) could use it/cooler stuff.

Thematically, if some obf/cel vampires carry important stuff you don't want to lose, they can save it from baddies by running fast and hidding. The 2 pool left is the thing you can't just take away and have to leave behind.

Most combat decks do have a bleed part in them, they don't all oust with Dragonbound or bleeds for 1.

Sure, but then the card is a dead card, which is a drawback big enough.

They sure could you some defensive cards, but that doesn't mean City Gangrel or Assamite should have some too.

Given the very same reasoning, a card carrying your last 2 pool would be justified. :D

Yes, the problem the card is solving is real, but the way it is solved is not consistent with the disciplines used. I'd rather see the *card* made consistent, not the interpretation of it.

!malk! :OBF: :DEM: :cel: :cap6: Sabbat. If this vampire's bleed is successful, he laughs manicly and untaps.

There's already a bleed reducer in Obfuscate (Confusion of the Eye) and Celerity (Aversion). It is consistent ;)
