Can't Take It With You for Allies, Equipment, Locations and Retainers?

Seems a touch rediculous really. Who is going to play this when they could play Peace Treaty and Can't Take It With You in a single turn?

I'm not sure why you have this vendetta against decks using something other than vampires without permanents. Is there something going on in your metagame that can't be fixed by say... Canine Hordes or Broken Armaments or Fast Hands... or even just Drawing Out the Beast???

It seems very uninteresting. It's a 'punisher'-type card. It doesn't promote a new form of play, it penalises other archetypes (particularly allies and/or equipment-heavy decks). It doesn't create a new form of play. Consequently, I find it about as interesting as Vicissitude Poisoning, Detection, Cultivated Blood Shortage, Nosferatu Putrescence, Brujah Frenzy, Artistically Inept, Obsession, Tragic Love Affair... or need I go on?

If it was a card that promoted a certain strategy rather than penalising as many as it possibly could, I'd have fewer problems. There are a limited number of cards that I think need pulling back into line, and that is because I think they have enhanced certain strategies too far (particularly Villein under its current ruling on the word 'move' and Voter Cap in general).

So I'd be interested in cards that for example:
- Enabled pure combat to be a potentially faster ousting method (or at least have more viable defence).
- Enhanced fringe strategies such as Trophies-Red List
- Diversify existing strategies by effectively creating viable variations to existing strategies (e.g. Cryptic Mission variation, Increase viability of Black Hand, enhance Sabbat-only voting, etc)
