Taking the skin : minion

Villein/Lilith, easier.

So, you intend to give protean, then abonwe to the Ankou, and then hope someone hunt ?

... I need to play against this deck.

You don't hope someone hunts, you play Thirst with several other Gehenna events to make them hunt.

yes, thirst is good, but restricted vitae is even better. Villein to zero, hunt on a younger vamp, excellent thirst. It's beautiful in midgame when the vamps have 3/4 blood on them

Before you put too much planning into that strategy, Reyda, remember that any bonus blood gained from the hunt comes from the blood bank, not the target vamp.

Restricted Vitae does actually allow you to steal blood of younger minions as a Hunt Action.

This idea of your's Reyda really reminds me of a deck we built recently in our playgroup which was basically a Malk/Dementation Blood-Denial deck. Haunting, Derange and so on with the Ankou ready to burn them. Then just back it up with mild bleeds for the kill. Possibly also including ideas like Tensions (so you make your prey lose pool after you nuke their minion with The Ankou).

Nope, it's actually quite the opposite. Unless specified, additional blood gained on hunt actions comes from where it's taken. [LSJ 20030519]
