Group 5 Tremere Antitribu ideas

So since I've been critiquing other peoples card ideas quite a bit lately I thought I should finish the Tremere Antitribu ideas I've been working on to give them a chance to return the favour.
All comments (positive and negative) will be very welcome.

Also, I would like to make card images, but I don't have any suitable artwork myself. If anyone has access to good artwork I can use on these it would be greatly appreciated.

I am not really a huge fan of 6 caps with only one superior discpline, I would give at least one of the two second superior in clan in exchange of losing the out of clan.

Emre could probably be a bishop also, her special is that much narrow that its likely only half a point worth.

Edmondo could use some minor drawback, like like -1 something against some specific clan or the like. As currently he is just better Bryan Van Duesen who is already quite good vampire.

Thank you for the comments.

My initial version of Arabella was

Name: Arabella, the Diabolist
Cap:
Disciplines:
Clan: Tremere Antitribu
Title:
Group: 5
Text: Sabbat: Arabella may recruit or employ a demon as if she were of the required clan or had the required discipline at inferior. Recruiting and employing demons costs her 1 less blood or pool.

but I didn't think the text really parsed well, hence the version in the initial post. I'm not sure which version I prefer mechanically.
As a general rule, I like some vampires to have out of clan disciplines, as it gives the possibility of people doing something with them that the designer hadn't thought of.

Emre could probably be a bishop also, her special is that much narrow that its likely only half a point worth.

Maybe, I am hopeful that additional compatible gargoyles will be printed at some time though

Edmondo could use some minor drawback, like like -1 something against some specific clan or the like. As currently he is just better Bryan Van Duesen who is already quite good vampire.

For the costing I only really considered vampires of G3 and later, as I find the G1 and G2 vampires don't always follow the same structure as the later ones. He is on a par with vampires like Suzanne Kadim. On the other hand, -1 strength against someone wouldn't hurt him too much.

Suzanne Kadim doesn't have all in-clans at superior though.

Ilinca's special is something that whoever designed Nocturn Theater thought was extremely powerful. I might make her one higher capacity and giver her one more point of a discipline.

Erme's ability should say "from the blood bank." Then maybe you'd have a reason to play group 4/5/6 gargoyles.

Seems like a good designed vampires. I just see vampires bit bland. I would like group 5 vampires to offer little different strategy from group 3, now they look very similar. Arabella is interesting with free nocturns, obt for some other vampires also to offer new deck choice? I would love to see more !tremere black hand also, maybe even seraph.
