Card idea: Imprimatur

Hi all,

Okay, a different take on getting Sabbat vamps to bruise-vote their way to victory...

Imprimatur

Cost: 2
Requires an Archbishop, Cardinal, Priscus or Regent. Unique.
Only usable as an action is announced. If this action is successful, the acting vampire gains this card and untaps. This vampire has +1 strength and an additional vote. Burn this card at the end of your turn.

The Unique-ness means you wouldn't pack your deck with them (it effectively limits itself to one per turn), but they provide a Freak Drive-ish effect with a bonus for titled vamps.

cheers,

Disco Stu

"A minion may only have one Imprimatur" would be my preference. Sure, you can toss them around the place, but you only get to have 1 per minion so you aren't spamming them all down on Beast/Meshenka...etc

TWO blood?

I mean.. ye I can see this being helpful in bruise/vote and everything, but I'm pretty sure it's not worth 2 blood. It doesn't even pay itself back with Voter Cap and +1 strength is not really going to suddenly make blockers back out where they would have tried/been able to block otherwise.

Only 1 per turn, I guess, is fine. It provides a (conditional) untap, so I guess a blood cost of 1 is fine. Two blood would make it wallpaper.

But you have to pay for this one when the action is declared. If it is blocked, that's 2 wasted blood. It does not require a discipline but a large title instead.
