[Submission] Call the Athanatos

Thinking about the Mortis power (what Thanatosis devolved from).

Was actually playing a Harbingers deck the other evening, and this idea formed in my mind....

Call the Athanatos
Burn an ally or retainer (+1 stealth if controlled by you) or remove a minion in your ash heap from the game. Put this card in play (it is unique): your minions gain +1 bleed. Burn this card during your next untap phase.
As above, but the card gains X counters where X is the life of the burned minion. Burn a counter during your untap phase, and burn this card when there are no counters left.

Alternatively:

Call the Athanatos
+1 bleed.
+2 bleed, and any minion that attempts to play a reaction card or block takes one damage (before combat, if any).

Compelling game need: Harbingers / Samedi sorely need bleed increase; thought these were interesting VTES interpretations of the power.

Hmm, actually the first version could be pretty broken in a deck using Ghoul Escort (either burn to tap a blocking minion and untap the acting minion, then burn it using this card; or burn the minion yourself) to put the card into play with 4 counters on.

The superior only pertains to minions. Ghoul escort is a retainer. Honest mistake, since the wording was faulty as it said as above but the next statement says gain counters of the life of the burned minion.

Or better yet just change it to burn a minion. But since vampires are minions are you pertaining to life/blood or capacity?

Whoops - thanks!

Np. I kinda like it actually something extra to give Samedi some extra ousting power.
