About Absorb the Mind

Absorb the Mind, Combat, designed by Steve Ellis first released in December 2001 in the set Bloodlines and was printed exactly in 3 different ways.

Absorb the Mind is most useful in a **Mytherceria combat deck**, especially one that wants versatile strikes without spending blood: at superior Mytherceria it combines ranged reach with blood gain and can steal a Master: Discipline card, while inferior Mytherceria still gains blood and Dominate provides a dodge when defense matters. Its strongest competition is **Amaranth**, which can steal the opposing vampire’s discipline cards more broadly and is generally the better choice when that theft is the main goal; for dependable ranged damage or blood theft, dedicated combat strikes are usually more effective. Absorb the Mind is worth including as a low-cost, flexible option if your vampires reliably have superior Mytherceria and you expect useful Master: Discipline targets, but it is too situational to be a staple and is unlikely to justify a slot in a deck that only has inferior Mytherceria or wants consistent damage.
