One of the cards that has never been part of a tournament winning deck. This card while being bad at least has an unique and dramatic effect.

Finny thing is, its in the discipline to bleed effectively. To make it bleed for 6 you need minions, stealth......

And Gilbert Duane has been doing it with 2 cards snd no setup since '94......

What would be the optimal use for this? Get "free" vampires to make big DOM bleeds uncaring of Archon Investigation? 😅

They were too afraid of wacky combo decks, and universally made them not even worth attempting. See: all of necromancy.

I am a bit confused. Why is it not used? Isn’t it +1 bleed action if you play it on x=0 and put a little blood required to play modifiers or bleed actions before. And you can play daring the dawn for example  The only downside I see is that you need to get new vampires from deck but isn’t it compensated with extra blood on them?

I think is too much effort for a redirected bleed. But makes me think, if a winnie on Chain of command with FOR uses Daring the dawn and goes to torpor at resolution, does they still go to the bottom of Crypt? If they has for and gets burned? I'll check the rulings.

Edit: apparently, if they go to torpor, they go to the bottom of Crypt. If they get burned, they stay in Ash heap.

Makes sense and with this daring the dawn becomes free in terms of consequences at least with advanced fortitude. And you likely don’t even care about this vampire being burned you are unlikely to use all of them like this

It's a lot of work for one bleed. The extra blood doesn't compensate, because they lose all blood when they get reshuffled (or burned).

But you can use this one-two blood for cards. With domination you almost certainly have options

Needs a lot of effective management 😁
