How would you change VTES? 4F: Rules 2.2

2.2. Blood Bank and the Edge

Each player takes 30 blood counters to form her starting pool. The remaining blood counters are placed in the blood bank -- a common reserve of counters placed so that all players can reach it. Remember that the number of blood counters in the blood bank is limitless -- the bank never runs out.
The Edge (see section 1.2) begins the game uncontrolled and so is placed in the central area as well.

2.2.1 Blood, Pool, Life and Blood Bank

Players should have a large number of small counters to use for Pool, Life and Blood.  At the beginning of the game each player takes 30 counters as their starting Pool.  
When an ally is put into play, it gains counters from the Blood Bank equal to its Life.  
The Blood Bank is theoretically limitless and cannot run out.

2.2.2 The Edge

The Edge represents an advantage you have gained over the other Methuselahs.  It begins the game uncontrolled and is often placed in the center of the table to represent this.  The Edge should be some distinctive object which cannot be mistaken for any other game component; many players use figurines to represent the Edge.

2.2.2a Gaining the Edge

When a minion you control successfully bleeds (i.e. a bleed action taken by a minion you control resolves in dealing damage to another Methuselah's pool) you gain the Edge even if it is controlled by another Methuselah.

2.2.2b Bonus Pool from the Edge

During your Untap phase, if you control the Edge you may gain 1 pool from the Blood Bank.

2.2.2c Burning the Edge

There are times during the game where you may burn the Edge. When the Edge is burned, it is moved to a neutral location where it is clearly not controlled by any one of the Methuselahs.
During a referendum, including the Bloodhunt referendum, you may burn the edge to gain 1 vote.  
Actions may require you to burn the Edge as part of their cost (such as Enticement); you only burn the Edge when the action is not blocked and would be successful.
