Apologies if this has been asked before, I couldn't find it on a
search.

The mummies brought into play by Spell of Life lose the card text card
tex of the original vampire card, right? For example, mummy
Nakhthorheb cannot untap during minion phases, and wouldn't have +1
strength, correct?

Spell of Life [LotN:C]
Cardtype: Action

Clan: Follower of Set

+1 stealth action.
Put this card in play. Only one Spell of Life may be played each turn.
You may burn five Spells of Life to put up to five vampires from your
uncontrolled region in play. Each represents a unique mummy ally with
life equal to capacity, 1 bleed and 2 strength who can enter combat
with a minion as a (D) action.

Correct. The crypt card's text does not apply. Spell of Life uses only the crypt
card's name for uniqueness (and, briefly, capacity to make starting life). The
crypt card's clan and Disciplines are also ignored.

So in the name of pointing out Spell of Life tricksiness, a Nefretitti
Mummy (who is still named Nefretitti) lets the Aabt Kindred take D
actions...

You mean the ONE Aaabt kindred mummy? Because he would lose his "I'm
not unique text" if he got Spelled?

Or all the regular, non-mummy Aaabts? It'd be interesting to see how
someone makes that deck swing.

Get a whole bunch of mummies in play, they all get the bed sheets all
messy, make some lively spells, recruit Ossian and some other fun
guys, then out pops Nefertiti and co and the whole world burns....

No, no. The non mummy Aabt Kindred who all made the Nefretiti mumy.

Yes, it's funny, yes, it's tricksy, and yes, it's incredibly stupid.
To have any chance of getting a) enough Aabbts to make it remotely
worth it, b) a Nefertiti, and c) 3 non-Aabbt, non-Nefertiti vampires
to turn into mummies, you will have to always draw your entire crypt.
Unless you just want to take 5 turns and 5 actions to put a Nefertiti
into play... it seems like there's an easier way to get her into
play... I can't think of what it is, but I think it has something to
do with INFLUENCE... ;-)

You could always play with Might of the Camarilla. Not sure how a
Justicar/IC card would merge with a Serpentis/FOS deck...

I'm not saying it's a *good* plan. Just one that is funny and
tricksy :-)

Okay, just wanted to make sure we were clear on that... =)
