I know this seems to be a little too much effort for the same gain, but I have been toying with the idea of making better use of The Grandest Trick. Can a Kiasyd vampire (A) bleeding with The Grandest Trick benefit from the effects of a Mouthpiece (at DOM) played by another vampire, thus allowing A to play cards like Conditioning? I am thinking "Yes", but am confused by the "cannot use Disciplines" text on The Grandest Trick. The Grandest Trick Cardtype: Action Modifier Clan: Kiasyd Cost: 2 blood Burn Option Only usable when an action is announced. Vampires cannot block this {minion}. This acting vampire is treated as a mortal ally for the duration of the action (cannot spend or burn blood, cannot use Disciplines, will burn if reduced to 0 life, etc.). This vampire's blood represents his or her life while he or she is an ally. Only usable on an action that doesn't cost blood or require a vampire, clan or Discipline. Mouthpiece Cardtype: Action Modifier Discipline: Dominate [dom] +1 bleed. You cannot play another action modifier to increase this bleed. [DOM] Only usable by a ready vampire other than the acting minion. The acting minion may play cards that require basic Dominate as a vampire for the remainder of this action.

[ quoted text not captured ] I think your right. Since the "cannot use disciplines" part is only an example of how allies work.
