By the Kindred for the Kindred

Another Primogen enabler...

By the Kindred, For the Kindred
Reaction
1 blood
Choose 2X ready Primogen and/or Bishops you control. Reduce a bleed against you by X. If the bleed total is negative, then the bleeding vampire burns 1 blood for each point the bleed is below 0 after the action resolves.

Playing this card twice (or more) causes the vampire to burn for each card on top of the extra reduction of subsequent cards.

E.g.:
4 Primogen/Bishop and bleed for 1.
1 Card -> Reduce by 2, burn 1 blood.
2 Cards -> Reduce by 4, burn 2 times 3 blood.
3 Cards -> Reduce by 6, burn 3 times 5 blood.

If Primogen really need a boost then why make it so timid?

By the Kindred, For the Kindred
Reaction
1 blood
Reduce a bleed against you by X, where X is the number of ready Primogen and/or Bishops you control.

Simpler mechanic also.

Actually it is meant to work more like this...

VAMP A Bleeds for 1
METH B has 4 Primogen and plays By the Kindred For the Kindred choosing all 4 Primogen
VAMP A is now bleeding for -1.
The action resovles to deal 0 pool damage BUT VAMP A now burns 1 blood as well.

VAMP A Bleeds for 3
METH B has 4 Primogen and plays By the Kindred For the Kindred choosing all 4 Primogen.
VAMP A is now bleeding for 1.
The action resolves to deal 1 pool damage and By the Kindred For the Kindred does not burn blood from VAMP A.

Yes, but you can, according to the current text, play several of them during a single bleed.

You would need "Only one By the Kindred, For the Kindred may be played during an action."

Even if only one could be played during an action, you could combine it with other bleed reduction cards to make it burn blood.

A bleeds for 1
B (primogen) plays By the Kindred for the Kindred and chooses X as zero, then plays Telepathic Counter at superior to reduce bleed to -1
B does not burn any pool and A burns 1 blood
