Do you think some type of card with the following effect would be playable or just wallpaper?: Minion cards played by X are removed from the game instead of going to the ash heap when burned. Where X could be just prey or just prey+pred or even all Meth. Could this be an a master a vampire's unique ability a dsicpline related ability. Discuss

Seems like an anti-"vampire recursion" tech. Trouble is that "vampire recursion" decks are already hard to put with, and not overwhelmingly strong. That kind of card is not really needed (plus you can play The Name Forgotten if you really need to). Prince of Paris, France Ratings Coordinator, Rules Director

However, the original recursion ( -based) is a rather cool concept and quite a workable mechanism, if not slightly underpowered...certainly not enough to warrant hosing.

This would also do a number on Imbued decks that recycle their convictions, I believe. Of course, many people might be okay with that!

There are four main types of library cards: convictions, master cards, minion cards and event cards. Convictions are put in play during the untap phase (see details in the Imbued Rules appendix); master cards are played by Methuselahs; minion cards are played by the minions (vampires and allies) the Methuselahs control; event cards are put into play during the discard phase to represent events that affects the World of Darkness as a whole (see section 8). ) Imagination is our only weapon in the war against reality -Jules de Gaultier

For the same reason, this event do nothing directly against Anthelios recurion. Granted, since one of the good master to cycle with Anthelios is Ashur Tablet, it's indirectly hit. But still, it's a bit strange to hit harder the modest necromancy option than the mighty Anthelios.

Thanks Reyda! Somehow read that as Library cards instead of minion cards.
