[Submission] Crafting Chamber (master location for recruiting allies)

Crafting Chamber Cardtype: Master Clan: Tzimisce Location. When a minion you control successfully recruits an ally, you can reduce its cost by X and move that ally to this card, out of play, with X power counters. During your influence phase, remove 1 power counter from that ally. You can pay 1 pool to remove 1 power counter from that card. When they are no power counters on that ally, put it in play. Only 1 ally can be on this card at a time. Thoughts? Prince of Paris, France Ratings Coordinator, Rules Director

I think you forgot the important caveat that it not include War Ghouls. Don't need to see any more of them. Be careful when you fight the monsters, lest you become one. -Friedrich Nietzsche brandonsantacruz.blogspot.com/

What is the game need for this? "My strategy? Luck is my strategy, of course."

I like the concept, however as others pointed out it would power up war ghouls decks which is not recomended at all. Right now, keeping a balance between pool and number of war ghouls is very important factor when playing such a deck. Possibility to play war ghouls for free seems crazy.

you wouldn't lost anything. Without it you would just not recruit anymore war ghouls, with this card you will get some free ones in 3 turns

Its neat, but I see little need. Gargoyles having tbis concept, usable on ally or retainer, would be interesting, especially if it fetched the card. Warghouls are stupid strong. Whats an extra 5 ish pool for a WG deck? You turbo out ghouls? This card doesnt help speed, you just get more later. Tzimitsce need things other than WG help. They dont NEED help, but interesting options is more appropriate at thistime. They block and do warghouls, have utility, and dont multiact. Combo stuff and vic toolup with untap seem neater than this.

I see ally too much to my liking. A card to make them even better henceforth seem unwarranted.

If you draw several War Ghouls at once but don't have sufficient retainers/allies that you want to burn, you can get stuck with a Ghoul or two in your hand for an extra turn or so - so you might want to think more carefully about your ratios, tweak the Ghouls down a bit. Now you have the option of recruiting one for free, postponing its appearance, cycling your hand etc., and it's a more permanent solution than Jake Washington. This might mean you choose to tweak the number of War Ghouls in your deck up slightly, aiding the deck's aggression.
