Nitpick: According to current card wording guidelines this should be "may" not "can"

Really? Could you give the reference of those guidelines?

Yup, read the cards and see the rulings. May has a ruled meaning, can does not

I love this card. It could be return of more mid-cap decks. It would replace the need to have govern the unaligned in every midcap deck. I would consider a cap of 3 per player or something, just to avoid abuse from breed-decks.

Greater Purpose + any hunt deck or weenie Sabbat deck with Hungry Coyote.

If this card sees print, it will probably just be a complete replacement for those decks that still run blood doll. Seems like a power creep card to me.

Once again, I'm interested in the references.

I thought Blooded Sand was correct, but couldn't remember where I had seen the ruling... then I thought he was maybe misremembering your website ... but on that page you link to this ruling page here on VEKN, which says:

R0014 : May/Can
All 'may' are replaced by 'can'. ('May' shows permission, 'can' possibility & we need to use only one of them: unjustified alternances between 'may' and 'can' must be avoided).
Comment: Hugh: This is horsepoo. We should use 'may' it is way cooler

I personally think that 'may' would be better than 'can'. May implies voluntary action. Compare to 'must' which implies coercive action.
