[Submission] Rite of Apostasy (action that turns a vampire into a Baali)
Cardtype: Action
+1 stealth action. Only usable if you control another ready Baali. Not usable by an infernal vampire.
Choose a discipline this vampire has, put this card on him or her and untap him or her. This vampire becomes infernal, Baali (and Independent); he or she has Daimoinon instead of the chosen discipline (at the same level). A vampire can have only one Rite of Apostasy.
Flavor text:
Art notes: A kneeling vampire opens his arms wide before a hooded figure, over the corpse of a young girl. His eyes are shining with some unnatural brightness. The scene is viewed over the shoulder of the hooded figure and takes place in some gloomy cellar.
World of Darkness reference: whitewolf.wikia.com/wiki/Baali#Apostates
How does this card address a compelling game need?: This card can either be played to change one's own vampires to Baali with daimoinon, or to cripple a vampire of some oher player (though it requires to steal that vampire first). Either way, it opens some new deck possibilities.

I have lurking, non-specific thoughts about using this in a breed deck, and would probably prefer it restricted itself to vampires of, say, 4 capacity or more.
Would also be plausibly interested to see if it makes Striga or Maleficia more attractive. More likely, it just makes the chain a step longer - but if you can basically pick some attractive vampires who become infernal, with Daimoinon and a not-a-discipline of your choice, maybe things become more interesting. Probably not, but I'd be interested to see someone try a deck or three in that direction.

It's basically a worry that if you can find something solid to do, you could get a bunch of cheap extra assistance where previously it was restricted mostly to a coterie of midbies (or higher). It wouldn't be breed in the sense of "keep churning out more and more weenies and turn them all Baali". It would probably be more "supplement an existing deck with a couple of extra Daimonon users" or "churn out lots and lots of weenies, and turn one or two Baali".
I can't think of anything that is likely to trigger a game-wrecking earthquake, but I'd prefer to err on the side of caution, myself.
