Isn't Clan Bruce cards at 12 always going to be higher than any other card? Thus with your rule you would always have to play Clan Bruce first. This would seem to nerf the clan's power.We play the way you interpret the rules as written. Clan Bruce activates at any time since it is always the lowest (and highest) Clan Bruce card.
This makes Clan Bruce very powerful, but it can be countered by swapping cards in which Clan Bruce retains its power for the new owner or by deleting the card. In other words Clan Bruce has a huge target on its head, so bringing it out too early can be dangerous.
In my opinion Clan Bruce is kind of lame in a 3 player game because it needs to be mustered so early to activate.
