I've read the text on the vampire and this card, and still have to ask:
What is the prayer combo??

Thanks,

Christine gets a skill card and the Blessing of Chaos, and remains
untapped for the rest of the game. Her only words are "I ATTEMPT TO
BLOCK!", preferably nothing but 1-stealth or greater actions taken by
predator or prey. She doesn't have to SUCCESSFULLY block, she just
has to attempt to block. Since she gets -1 intercept against any
minion attempting to bleed, you have a pretty handy defense against
Dominate bleed and Presence vote... all without ever tapping a minion.
Not so much Presence bleed since those tend to come in the form of
action -cards-.

Prayer combo because it requires three things to show up early on: a
specific vampire, a skill card, and the Blessing itself. =)

Y'know...I've got a !Malk assassination deck that would fit in without
much modification. Although, come to think of it, you could get much the
same effect with Eternale Vigilance/Blessing of Chaos. *ponders*

Things that make you go hmm...

The acting minion, faced with the prospect of Christine spuriously
attempting to block could, of course, play the dominate bleed modifiers
before the block attempt is solicited.

But this would work against presence vote enhancement (which cannot
be played until the action is successful).
