Ah, Perfectionist. How do I love thee? Let me count the ways...

This card seems the best of the various archetypes to me. It has no sect requirement, making it easy to play.
It's effect takes place during any action of any type, so long as the other conditions are met. This makes it effectively superior to cards like Bravo, Capitalist or Guru which specify blood gain only on certain actions.

Basically, any action X becomes X + hunt, so long as nobody interferes. Since most people do not interfere with hunting, for example, most of the time you will end up with an extra blood. It is possible that someone will cycle a Wake with Evening's Freshness to stop you getting your blood, but this seems unlikely to me. They'd be better off keeping their wakes for actions that will hurt them.

You can use Perfectionist on a weenie 2-cap vampire with 2 Blood Dolls for good pool gain. Blood Doll off each turn and then hunt for 2. It's like a poor man's Hesha Ruhadze.

I can't think of too many decks that won't find some use for a card like Perfectionist. I think it will be going in most of my decks from now on.
