So the question is... What do you do with this vampire?Serpentis & Presence make him a nice matchup with the Followers of Set. Potence & Obtenebration make hims a nice fit with the Lasombra if you'e after something more violent and less S&B.
But what a lovely little card text... All that stuff you wanted in your hand later, just toss it back into the library to get it later.
On the downside, Nehemiah really lacks a stealth discipline. He's combat durable; Temporis, Presence, Potence and to a lesser extent Obtenebration and Serpentis offer some interesting combat options.
The immediate thought I have is about Followers of Set with Potence, which is moderately common in the larger members of Groups 3-4-5. Shemti, Bupe and Clea all have at least [pot] which makes for plenty of interesting cross-overs with Nehemiah. Do you run a variation on the [POT][SER] + Corruption/Temptation decks? Beat the blood of them, then borrow them and bleed your prey with their own minions... The problem becomes Stealth... While Typhonic Sleaze... aka Typhonic Beast... can give you some serious Potence-Stealth... it still doesn't help those Temptations land IF you put them on with Nehemiah. Maybe instead Nehemiah is your backup... the Rusher who can then untap himself using Temporis and do other dodgey shennanigans. If you use the [POT] defensively, you can again, exploit Temptations by putting them backwards... then with a combination of Touch of Pain, Frozen Object and Rush beat the blood off until you can then borrow the minion and bleed your prey with your predator's minion. Another very viable option... but feels like it could be lacking on the ousting roids while speed-bumping your Predator. A Form of Corruption could help with getting the needed goons for the forward pressure... but then again it's not like that's creating a 3-bleed here. Potentially Enticements should be the kill-switch... but there is another card needed in plentiful supply... Horseshoes can also be a key card in this deck, but then you're running MANY actions and combat and not much else.
Being a Trujah with Votes, Nehemiah also screams VOTE WITH ME... So who do you match him to? He's half-brothers/sisters in the Brujah? That would then make his [SER] & [obt] dead space. Indie-Vote is an option, which again puts you at the doorstep of the Followers of Set... but again... bye bye [POT] unless you're going to make it a feature of the rest and use Iron Glare...
I feel like I should be making a few Nehemiah decks. But I almost feel like I'm only using a half-a-vampire if it isn't a FoS + Potence deck.
Do other people have ideas on what you should make with Nehemiah? I'm hoping for it to be at least Tier 2 when its done... just another surprise out of the bag. Like my Disciplineless Brujah Breed'n'Vote'n'Bloat...
