A vampire can have only one mask.

Flavor text: none

Art notes: A violent or exploding mask. A death mask.

World of Darkness reference: Ability in VTM for Harbingers of Ashur.. The Lazarene Mask: The Harbinger understands that the true agenda of the Harbingers of Skulls was not to eliminate the Giovanni, but all those in the Clan of Death. The Harbinger receives no Stains for killing other Hecata or their servants.

How does this card address a compelling game need?: This card is part of the Mask set for hecata. It is a new mechanic of killing your own vampires to make one even stronger. Ideally it is played mid game after the other hecata has been sent into torpor or with no blood and is a weenie. It seems a strong effect however it requires you to sacrifice a vampire of at least 3 capacity (if you build all weenies in your deck it makes it difficult to give this card more use due to weak disciplines) and costs 1 pool as well + the action itself that can be blocked. For wall hecata it is just +1 intercept and strength but also gives capacity and bleed power. A quirky card but not sure it would be very competitive.
