Tap this card to give a Malkavian you control +X stealth until the end of turn, where X is the amount of blood the Malkavian burns. You may only increase your stealth to 1 greater than your opponent's current intercept. This location may be burned by any minion as a (D) action.

The only use I can see it having is if your vampire has Fame on it. And that doesn't even seem that worth it...

Enlighten me!!! Nah, you're not being stupid, but here is a time when it would be helpful your preditor is kicking your tail with a very nasty vampire (basilia with a gangrel revel in play would work) and you know that there is no way for you to do any damage, much less put her into torpor, In fact they've been trouncing you sooo bad that there is not much likelihood of your vampire escaping alive. That would be a good time for the Legacy. But I still wouldn't put it in a deck. I don't build decks that have a "just in case I'm getting my tail kicked" clause. :) -- R.

Even if he gets out it will cost him 2 and another action. If not then maybe he can still be diabliarized. Rory

Enlighten me!!! It's useful against a rush deck - one that promises to send your vampire to torpor (or even burn it) with : Any vampire with an Ivory Bow or Flame Thrower, Brujah with an armload of Sewer Lids, Toreador with an RPG, Gangrel with Claws, etc. As long as you're going to torpor, you can take the opposing vampire with you, and possibly help keep the rest of your vampires from the same fate. -- L.

Enlighten me!!! > > -Zach > Actually, it has its uses. Especially against clans that use aggravated damage and Amaranth. If you assume that at the very least your vampire is going to Torpor, at most burned, then this is a good way to save them (all assuming you don't have other ways to save them). Depending on your opponent, it might be worth putting them in torpor. They can either spend another minion action getting them out, or let them sit there and hope they survive to get themself out next round. Or, combining it with a Minor Boon could be useful.
