Ex Nihilo
Type: Action
Requires: Necromancy
Cost: 1 blood
+1 stealth action.
[nec] Put this card on this vampire. This vampire gets +1 stealth. Damage he or she inflicts in combat is reduced to 0, and he or she is immune to non-aggravated damage. This vampire cannot gain blood; any blood he or she gains goes to the blood bank instead. During your master phase, this vampire burns 1 blood or is burned. You may burn this card during your untap phase.
[NEC] As above, but you may burn this card during any Methuselah's untap phase.
If the vampire with ex nihilo has plenty of blood but I want to burn it anyway because it's equipped with a soul gem of etrius, am I allowed? Or does the option only exist if the vampire is out of blood?

Ex Nihilo can only burn empty vampires.

Pack plenty of Minion Taps or Villeins and the problem is solved.

No, you can choose between both options. This is a REVERSAL.
