Let's suppose I receive two Elixir of Distillation, resulting in a 2-

remove.

Do I remove both of them or just one?

Here's a second question about Elixir of Distillation - why is it so
crappy?  Or, put a different way, is it really as bad as I think it
is, or is it even worse?  It might have been justified in being
printed if it untapped the equipping vampire at the end of the turn,
but even then it's not as good as a Baseball Bat or Leather Jacket...

Conceal out a bunch of them and use Lightning Reflexes to throw them
all at one opposing vamp.

Steal that vamp with a single corruption counter.

90% crappy, 10% SOLID GOLD.

Best deck ever! ;)
There aren't any Settites with superior celerity, but hey, Sisocharis
only needs one skill card... and more blood. Intisar or Saqqaf, or a
few others, could do it with a skill card as well. Actually, Xendil
Charmer could do it with Revelation of Ecstasy...

So there you go, any Settite with superior celerity (or a vamp with
SER/CEL) can steal a younger vampire (maybe equal size) by getting
into combat, spending X blood, X Concealed Weapons, X Elixers, 1
Lightning Reflexes, stay at close range and land X non-hand strikes
(after the first one, shouldn't be a problem), survive combat, then
untap (difficult if you got into combat by being blocked - easier if
you snake drive, which would require a successful enter combat action)
and get a 1 stealth Corruption action through. On top of that, the
vampire comes to you with capacity 1 and most likely no blood (might
have 1), and you have to use a master phase and tap him next turn to
get rid of the elixers. A second vampire could do the corruption...
I guess I've seen Norm post crazier decks... =)
