Rush and tap

I think rather than a "rush that taps" (or maybe in addition to one), a Master card that says, "At the beginning of combat, tap each vampire involved in that combat", perhaps costing a pool or two, would aid combat decks, perhaps more than it might at first appear.

There is fierce, fierce competition for master card slots. Combat-heavy decks often have to play fewer master cards anyway, because they cycle more cards than many other decks - a single combat can easily be using 4-6 cards, when a bleed might only be using 1 or 2, and if you have the same ratio of master cards to other cards in the deck, you can get a hand stuck with three master cards in it, and no ability to play them, and you really want to see more cards to plan a good combat.

I'd have no objection to the idea being implemented in a different way somehow, but I think a master card would be close to my least favourite. (A "Put this card in play" political action would probably be my absolute least favourite.)

RevRev:
Cel-For-Pot is not the best really for an Anarch card. What seems to be a good way forward would be to pick two clans with at least one overlapping discipline and then choose the disciplines to suit those two.

So for example, I'd consider cel-obf-pot to be a useful trio of disciplines. It covers Bru/!Bru, City Gangrel and Nos/!Nos so could be made to work for a lot more vampires.


Take-down
Action
Requires an anarch vampire.
Tap a ready minion and enter combat with that minion. The acting minion may gain any or all of the following effects if they have the disciplines.
[cel] Gain an optional press in any combat during this action.
[obf] On the first round of combat the opposing minion cannot strike.
[pot] Burn 1 blood to gain +1 strength for the rest of this action.

So, its like keystone, but also useable without discipline.....

In a Keystone Kine setup, I might be more interested by say (throwing random disciplines and effects at it):

That is, the tapping could be one of the Keystone Kine effects, it doesn't have to be there at the disciplineliness level.
