Name: Full Moon Cardtype: Master Clan: Gangrel/Gangrel antitribu Cost: 1 pool Unique master. Requires a Gangrel or Gangrel antitribu of capacity 5 or more. Put this card into play with one counter on it. During your untap phase, remove a counter if it has one, otherwise you may pay 1 pool to put a counter on it. While there is a counter on it, Gangrel and Gangrel antitribu gain one level of Protean [pro]. Basically, it can be the full moon one turn out of 2, provided you pay a pool. It benefits all the table (well, all the Gang/!Gang). These clans tend to have interesting vampires that do not have pro at all (or the inferior level).

I like it very much! A+

The name is ... well.. it makes me think of that Twilight saga.

Thematically, it should obviously have a secondary effect for any werewolves in play - maybe they receive +1 strength when it's a full moon. That might overpower Renegade Garou decks, though.

It probably should have 'any minion may burn this card as D action.'

If this car only affect !\Gangrel this burn effect is not necessary. Fernando Cesar - Sydnelson LackeyCCG and OCTGN VtES Mantainer Prince of Rio de Janeiro Powerbase Rio de Janeiro

I didn't want to make it a path because paths tend to be master intensive. And thematically, burning a Full Moon doesn't make much sense (but the card could be named elsewise). Giving werewolves +1 strength or a press seems pretty strong and would be too hard to balance. Better make another card for werewolves. Prince of Paris, France Ratings Coordinator, Rules Director

It's a well-lit Jyhad. ...I dunno. Anyway, I stand by the idea that it needs to affect werewolves somehow. If the moon is always full during the turns that those Gangrel are acting, then the werewolves that are acting at the same time are going to rage.
