Independent Futurist. Contrarian (titled, X votes where X is the number of votes as the acting minion.) Target Vitals is always the better combat card.

Great Expectations

Each methuselah selects a vampire in her uncontrolled region and a vampire in another player's uncontrolled region. A vampire may be chosen more than once. If successful, each chosen uncontrolled vampire gains 2 blood from the blood bank. Only 1 Great Expectations may be played each game.
WoD reference: none.
Other reference: inspired by Charles Dickens' novel Great Expectations, in which a young man receives the financial backing of an unknown source.
Game need: this is bound to produce table talk of unimagined proportion. Wait is that a good thing?

This sounds like fun, and it's likely to balance the table out, as players prop up the weakest player. I like it!

Well while its a cool idea, and don't see any too big balance issues, I just generally don't like cards that bloat the whole table, as there is too many time outs in tournaments as it is.

I fear the card will lead to endless discussions because basically, you need to have the 5 players to agree on some terms, and people will never stop changing their minds after listening to the others.
