I am playing with 3 other players with Tremere, Toreador, and Ventrue decks.
They all have cards that allow them to give blood to a younger vamp and
therefore
they end up getting more vamps out and kicking my butt.
My deck is comprised of only Nosferatu. Is there a card that I can use that
is
Nos? I haven't found one, but I have only just started collecting.
Any help?
Thanks!

Nikolaus Vermeulen (from the Dark Sovereigns expansion) can move
his own blood to any uncontrolled Nos, not just younger ones, and
its doesn't require an action from him (but it's only one blood per
turn).
Also, you can slow this process down using Memories Fading Glimpse
(Obfuscate, moves a vampire from your Prey's incative region to
her crypt).
Or, you can block their actions (the Toreador card, Enhanced Senses
is at zero stealth an is easy to block, otherwise you need a few
Raven Spies and Sport Bikes or other means of getting intercept).

You can speed up your influence by using :
Information Highway,
Tomb of Ramses III,
Dreams of the Sphinx,
Effective Management (if you are playing weenies),
Kindred Intellegence (again if you are playing weenies),
The Fourth Tradition: Accounting (if you can bring out a Prince),
The Embrace (instant weenie)
The Third Traditon: Progeny (just mix and pour)
Bring out Nikolaus Vermuelen (He's a Prince and gives a free xfer
to your uncontrolled!)
Unfortunately half of these are rare and the rest are uncommon.
My suggestion is pack 3 or 4 Nikolaus Vermuelen in your crypt and
use the Fourth Tradition, Embrace, and Third Tradition. Pack a bunch
of disciplines so that you can beef up Nik and give skills to the
weenies. You can even take advantage of Niks fortitude and
Fortitude skill cards to improve the combat ability of your deck.
Use all of your Tombs and particularly Dreams (a very flexible card).

I find Minion TAP is a great card for getting blood back into your pool, and bringing out
more vampires. And it's a clanless Master Card, so anyone can use it.

Well there is nothing that is specifically Nosferatu that does this sort
of thing, but along with the various things that people have pointed out
above, there is 4th Tradition-Accounting that does the exact same thing a
Govern the Unaligned, namely add 3 Blood to a younger uncontrolled
vampire, but instead of needing Dominate, you need to be a Prince. The
Nosferatu have a bunch of pretty good Princes (like Selma or Nikolaus
Verboten...) who can use this card to great effect.
I suspect that they are uncommon, and thus are not that hard to get, and
you can buy them real cheap off the trading-cards.marketplace list (like
3/buck). Try Mark Korshavin's ads.

On a related note, you might want to consider using Anti-Nosferatu, who
have an Art Museum-like card from Sabbat (the name escapes me right
now). The Anti's have the same abilities as the regular Nosferatu, and,
depending on how you're using them, a lot of the vamps have good
disciplines. For example Agatha (4 POT obf), Nigel (5 POT ANI obf), and
Olivia (5 POT OBF).
Good luck.

Hey, since I'm the one with the Toreador deck he's playing against, don't
give him any help! :)
To clarify, I'm using Enchant Kindred, and the Tremere and Ventrue are
using Govern the unaligned. (Presence and Fortitude(?) cards)

One other card that slows them down is Brainwash, a clanless master card that can be burned as a directed action. If you have Chimerstry or Ravnos there's Trick of Danya, expensive but fun. Lastly,
the much maligned Tomb of Ramses III would help you. Though at that point we digress.
