the idea of the deck is ex-cel-lent ! Let us know when you'll test it =) Nagaraja

Lovin it... I have been playing Lambach/Adv Lambach Legions since early September, and I have just given up on having a deck. I like this a lot. David "Smiling Tom" <t...@almadrava.net> wrote in message news:blf3t2$150$1...@nsnmrro2-gest.nuria.telefonica-data.net... [ quoted text not captured ]

My main concern with your deck is that there's really little defense for Lambach. It's great to have tons of little weenies to do stuff with, but if a combat deck manages to torporize Lambach, you are royally screwed. Not having any Celerity, the most Lambach can do is Conceal a Gun and go to long. Long range agg, any deck with at least one manuever, etc. could potentially take him down. Halcyan 2

My thought precicely. I don't htink 14 is enough though. Bear in mind that every Legions can be used multiple times. Of course with that many skill cards there is no reason it has to be Cel: you could just as easily slap a couple of Vic or something on Nedal. Ani might be nice - "ok prerange: 7 Carrion Crows. You?": it's not like you care what happens to Nedal though it might be a good idea to have more than 4 (of course that would leave Lambach too exposed) Where are the Secure Havens?

"Halcyan 2" <halc...@aol.com> escribió en el mensaje news:20031001164908...@mb-m24.aol.com... [ quoted text not captured ] 14 CEL skill cards. Some of them might easily be played on Lambach. This will bring easily Lambach to 11 or 12 cap, so no banishment/baltimore's purge will target him. Also, note that cel skill cards can be easily recyclable: A legion diablerizes a vamp, and thus is burnt through the blood hunt referendum. So? well, that's a CEL skill card in my ash heap, ready to be called again by lambach next turn. When the Legion action is successfull, you might pick up a skill card either from your hand, ash heap or library... But yes, more defense for lambach might prove usefull. I'll add a secure haven, and perhaps some side strikes/sideslips. Or apparitions. Don't forget that the Eye of Hazimel grants superior chimestry. Smiling Tom

Yes, lots of chiropteran, and so. But VIC costs blood, and that's s thing legions have in very scarce quantities. > Where are the Secure Havens? I'll add one or two. Smiling Tom

As in spain almost none support pack for the storyline has arrived. I have by now 0 lambach ADV and 0 Legions. Sure I'll try it with proxis, and if I like it, I'll try to gather the needed cards for this deck. > > Nagaraja > To all the necromancers, have any of you thought about a Harbringers' version of this deck, starred by Agaitas? Sure, it will surely be only 1 legion per turn, but your prey will loose a lot of deck in the process, not you. Something like lots of FOR skill cards, traps, undead persistence and coctel molotov...And some daemonic possessions... "My turn Master: blood doll. use agaitas to Replace from my prey's library. Agaitas does a restoration, <use agaitas special>, freak drive <use agaitas special>, revelations <use agaitas special>, freak drive <use agaitas special>. Oh, look, I have 5 cards in hand I don't really want. I use the legion to discard my full hand and put a newbie in the process. Replace my full hand, and surely some reactions with them, from my own deck. So, I have a new vamp, my prey has lost 5 cards, I have lost 2....

I would drop to 2 .44s I think. Alternatively, you could go with zip gun + taste of vitae instead, which might get you slightly better card flow. Of course, you lose the Dragon's Breath then, which may of may not be a problem.

Of course, you lose the > Dragon's Breath then, which may of may not be a problem. Well, I put 4 .44 for Lambach, Nedal and the "Elite" legions (those who achieve superior Celerity through the game. Being able to send to torpor in other way than just Dragon's breath isn't a good idea. And .44 are an option I don't want to get rid off. Later in the game, hitting for 2, additional/press 2 more might be enough to torporize most vamps. And the Ritual of the bitter rose should work like a charm in this deck, something i was pursuing for long time. A deck to use them!!!!

[ quoted text not captured ] Nice idea Though i wonder why you need Lambach for it. Ok, he can untap after putting out a Legion. But do yu really need him untapped? Just wondering if there might not be a vampire who fit's better.

> Nice idea Thanks :-) > > Though i wonder why you need Lambach for it. Ok, he can untap after > putting out a Legion. But do yu really need him untapped? > Plain and simple: Because he can do it multiple times in a turn, and for flavour. If lambach[]] has, say, 3 Legion cards on, he is able to recruit 3 legionaires per turn, at a minimal cost in cards thanks to nedal's ability. Then he will be able either to bleed, remain untapped to block, or rush if he is equiped with the Eye of Hazimel. > Just wondering if there might not be a vampire who fit's better. Can be done with almost any other vamp 7+ you like most, of course. Then you can alter the deck for either flavour or consistency. But you won't be able to recruit more than once per turn that way. That's why lambach []] is outstanding. Smiling Tom

Noone else will have chi, unless you play legion as chi skill cards, but then it's a totally different deck. Lots of little vics fleshcrafting everyone they meet might be funny, though, if you are going to make a different deck. [ quoted text not captured ]

But the good point of this deck is that you don't need to play only Agaitas. You can play a standard HoS crypt, and use one of the 8+ HoS as Legion master. [ quoted text not captured ]
