Nosferatu - Give them some love...

It might make it practically unusable without a combo however.

Yeah, but all these guys could finally use their abilities and do something useful

Tiberius, The Scandalmonger


Capacity: 5
Group: 1
Camarilla: If Tiberius is ready during your untap phase, you may look at the top card in your prey's library.

Alonzo Guillen


Capacity: 6
Group: 3
Camarilla: During your untap phase and your discard phase, if Alonzo is ready, you may burn the Edge to look at another Methuselah's hand.

Gerard Rafin


Capacity: 6
Group: 3
Camarilla: During your untap phase, if Gerard is ready, you may look at 1 card at random from your prey's hand.

Topaz


Capacity: 7
Group: 4
Camarilla: When Topaz successfully equips from your hand, you may look at your prey's hand, and Topaz may take an equipment from it instead (discard the original equipment card).

Sergei Voshkov, The Eye


Capacity: 10
Group: 5
Camarilla: When Sergei blocks an action, you may look at the acting Methuselah's hand, and Sergei may burn 1 blood to discard an action card from it (before combat, if any). +1 intercept.

Well, those Vampires ARE the combo pieces. this card was tailor made for those vamps originally, as well as Shrecknet and those more recent auspex nosferatu who can use Aura Reading and Revelations.

So you are on the right track with the utility. Nosferatu already have quite a bit of tech that would make this card usable, strong even, and Embrace will make it actually viable. This is why it needs either a burn clause or other form of getting rid of.

This can be really interesting to play, but all this falls into the water if there is no extra actions (unlocking), because it's still slow, even with Embraces.
Except it would be very fun, I doubt anyone would choose this strategy rather than bleeding with Deep Song or Computer Hacking if they want to score some VP.

That is true enough. Breed and Booning and whacking yourself some computer hacking bleeds might still be a better strategy than ttyigg to balance things with this tool up action, sufficient stealth and walling up to defend it.

Card sniping is a good effect though.

Thankfully we have Warsaw Station for the multiacting and the whole of G3 nosferatu group swims in inferior Fortitude. So we are not dying for multia acting really.

Anyways, you have a lot of good ideas for utility in your cards. This is the sort of thing i mean when i am taking about offensive push to make the clan actually distinct in both flavour and ousting Power. a gadzillion unlocks still will not give you the oust, even though it is a very good ability to have.

But the V5 Camarilla set is supposed to come out this year even. I am very much looking forward to seeing what BCP does with Nosferatu. I have high hopes after Lost Kindred.

Dossier: Prey
Action. Requires Nosferatu.
Put this card into play and move one card from your prey's ash heap to this card. Any ready Nosferatu you control can take an action to remove from the game X copies of that card from your prey's ash heap to make your prey burn X pool. X must be 1, 2, or 3.

Wasn't EC just won by Nosferatu without auspex and dominate?
