Rumor say "Kindred of the Ebony Kingdom" = more laibon. Small set I guess.

[ quoted text not captured ] Wrong. I've heard it is a Blood Dimmed Tides 500-card base set, with a Lasombra Pirates starter, an Aquatic Gangrel Starter, and Mermaids and Were-sharks in the crypt.

Man, I can't wait for the new "shipping lane" and "depth" mechanics! John Eno

Awesome. If a minion maneuvers to depth, does that count as long range too? I mean, unless the other minion also maneuvers to depth and then they're at close range at depth, right? Would have been an awesome flight mechanic, with height instead of depth. Will Aquaman be represented as an Aquatic Gangrel with no Protean/ Ichthometheus discipline, or a Malkavian who only *thinks* he can talk to fish? Can Underwater Operation be used on the same action as Dawn Op, and does that make damage dealt at depth doubly-aggravated? If Neptune's Trident is only usable by an Aquatic vampire, can it be equipped by any minion and does it still grant the water-breathing ability? Can Gratiano's Cannon still fire at a minion who is at depth even if the bearer is aboard a Ship? Does it matter if the ship is a schooner or a submarine or if it's a Leviathan that counts as a Retainer/Ship? Okay, that's all the questions I have so far. Probably more later - the Tides mechanic is totally confusing.

Sure, tidal decks are tough to play. But they need to be, because otherwise they'd just be too powerful. That being said, I think that mage submarine/ghost ship decks are the ones that are the most likely to upset the tournament metagame. We're probably going to need some nerfs there. John Eno

Nah, that's why I fought for the ability for underwater Nosferatu to play close-range cards at any depth, and can play Shattering Blow on the submarines.

Even if that works, though (which I doubt - the discipline spreads on the Nosferatu with the "maritime" keyword were pretty bad, even if they do all have those good reef specials), people will just start playing with more copies of Reinforced Hull, and then you're right back to where you started.

[ quoted text not captured ] What about Police Speedboat? Will it provide presses or maneuvers or something else (untap?)? I'm sure that Well Aimed Marlin will beat Well Aimed Barnacle anyday! Of course "Arrrr Matey!" will provide a large number of votes in the Aquatic-only referendums... particular when combined with Maritime Union Debate (which allows only Aquatic Vampires the ability to vote during the referendum)... I can't wait for the Great White Shark retainers... Deal 2 damage during strike resolution... Of course though, how will all of these cards interact with Pier 13? Will the rumours of the political action "Trade Tariffs" that increases the costs of non-loquipment come true? Will we see the end of the Black Cat + Pier 13 gunshop of glory? The questions just stack up... oh and of course will we see Pirate Jack (who bears a striking resemblance to Smiliing Jack and Jack Tredegar)...

Presumably paving the way for a Tzimisze Ninjas starter and Were-bears in the following set. Should be quite balanced, but I would expect some internet discussion. Matt

Good catch! Although, thinking about it for a second, you didn't have any issues with other players packing Spearguns? John Eno

Chris Berger

[ quoted text not captured ] Man, Spearguns are terrible. Maybe if they untapped you after equipping, or cost a pool less. I just don't think the cornercase additional damage against Fish allies and retainers is worth it over . 44 Magnums. I guess it *is* cold iron, but still... cornercase at best. Now the Lost Temple of Set, which is obviously a reprinting of the Grand Temple to make it useful... that's a nice card. Although the "Aquatic" keyword does make it susceptible to that location destroyer... I forget what it's called... Tsunami? Underwater Earthquake? Something like that. The one with the sweet artwork from Heather Kreiter.

Matt Hirsch

[ quoted text not captured ] You are so full of crap. It's like you didn't read all the new cards in the set. Clearly, the best new combat will be Tzimisce with Squid Ghouls, supported by Baleen Graft at VIC. And once the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act event enters play, your spearguns cost 2 extra pool! (Sure, you could use the Harpoon of Ahab instead, but that's unique and way overcosted.) -MDH
