Let's play a quick game:
Try to get these to fit a template, then decide how they work.
Answer for each the template used and if you can play them locked.

• Lock one of your prey's ready minions and place a corruption counter on that minion.
• Tap this vampire. This vampire enters combat with the blocking minion.
• Put this card on any untapped vampire. Tap that vampire; he or she does not untap as normal during his or her controller's untap phase.
• Burn 1 blood on an untapped vampire and tap that vampire.
• Tap this reacting vampire. Choose another Methuselah other than the controller of the acting minion. The acting minion is now bleeding that Methuselah. As above, but do not tap this vampire.
• This Laibon may burn a blood and tap three of his or her Aye to be able to play reaction cards and attempt to block as if untapped for the current action.
• Tap a ready minion and untap this acting vampire.
• Tap to give a vampire you control +1 intercept for the current action.
• Tap a ready minion. This acting vampire inflicts 1 unpreventable damage on that minion.
• During your untap phase, you may tap up to 2 vampires controlled by your prey or burn an equipment on one of your prey's minions. If you do so, your prey takes control of the Anarch Troublemaker.
• Tap any untapped minion, and that minion burns 1 blood or life.
• Reduce a bleed against you by 2, or tap to reduce a bleed against any Methuselah by 2.
• Only usable when this Baali successfully blocks an ally or a younger vampire.
  Tap this Baali and end the action (with no combat). This Baali inflicts 1 unpreventable damage on the acting minion and each of his or her retainers.
• Burn a haven on an ally or younger vampire, or tap an ally or younger vampire. As above, and inflict 1 damage on that minion.
• Tap a younger vampire and put this card on that vampire; you still control this card. This vampire does not untap as normal.
• The action fails. Tap this reacting vampire. As above, and the acting minion does not untap as normal during his or her next untap phase.
• Put this card on a ready minion and tap that minion. This minion cannot play cards or cast votes or ballots. This minion does not untap as normal.
• Tap this Gangrel antitribu. This Gangrel antitribu enters combat with the opposing minion.
• Tap any ready minion. As above, and that minion burns 1 blood.
• Only usable by a ready, untapped vampire. Usable when an ally you control is blocked, before combat begins. The combat is canceled; untap the acting minion and tap this modifying vampire. This vampire enters combat with the blocking minion.
• Only usable when you are being bled by a younger vampire. Tap this vampire to cause the action to fail.
• When a blocking anarch has just completed combat with an acting minion, you may tap this card and a ready untapped anarch you control other than the blocking anarch. That anarch enters combat with the acting minion.
• You may tap this card as a minion you control announces an action. If the action is blocked, the range of each round of the resulting combat is automatically close. Skip the determine range step each round.
• Choose 2 ready Toreador you control. The first Toreador's non-bleed actions cannot be blocked. The second Toreador does not untap as normal during the untap phase; tap the second Toreador.
• Cancel a non-combat card that requires Dementation, Dominate or Presence as it is played (no cost is paid). Tap this vampire.

Best of luck. You'll need it.
