I'll let U check by yourself this nifty Osembo Out-of-Turn Master. On another matter, I'm really surprised by the choice of Bloodlines Rares reprints. There are already 2 cards I'd rather not get and have to trade again : Ashes to Ashes and Basylisk's Touch, both very cornercase and mostly very uninteresting even if you like the concerned clans. I certainly hope the next reprints are a little more enjoyable, because these are very disappointing to me. Orpheus

Nice. Although Master-out-of-turn can make it rarely seen. Few questions to LSJ about timing. My Osebo blocks an action and combat starts. After the initial strikes the acting vampire with CEL chooses to play Pursuit for an additional strike. (1). I choose not to play a combat card that would give me an additional strike. (2). As an additional strike the acting vampire chooses to strike with a hand strike. (3). At this point my Osebo would choose his potential first additional strike. Which is the last moment (1), (2) or (3), at which point I can play Battle Frenzy to get an additional strike that turn. My guess would be (3).

[ quoted text not captured ] Like all other addional strike gainers, the answer is (1) (instead of choosing not to get any additional strikes, you'd choose to get some). -- That is my story, be it bitter or be it sweet. Keep a little and let a little come back to me. LSJ (vtesr...@TRAPwhite-wolf.com) V:TES Net.Rep (remove spam trap to reply) http://www.white-wolf.com/vtes/

Which Rares will be left behind or not are no more than a guess, but this information above leads to the conclusion that all bloodline-related Rares (either by clan or unique discipline requirement) will be on the "yay" list. This includes Basilisk's Touch and Ashes to Ashes. Mind you, I really want to make a stupid deck with 10 Ashes to Ashes, so I welcome new copies ;) best, Fabio "Sooner" Macedo

I traded for 10-12 Ashes to Ashes when Bloodlines first came out and made a deck around them. Going to torpor is always a risk, well, getting out without being eaten is the real risk. :P Ashes to Ashes, Undead Persistence, and then more Ashes to Ashes in further rounds of combat is fun. Who knew you could prevent damage and gain blood at the same time (plus an untap). I think I'll revisit it some day since Genina "loves" torpor so much, I think she could get good use out of Ashes to Ashes. Later, ~Rehlow

[ quoted text not captured ] Now, Bond with the Mountain has been skipped as well. 2 cards I didn't need more of. So far, so good. As long as they reprint Shroud, I'll be happy.

RavATw...@vampirethemasquerade.com

I think that Shroud ofAbsence will not be reprinted sinceit's not linked "directly" to any bloodline. :< :( Regards, RavATwoFaces

[ quoted text not captured ] That alone dismantles the "bloodline-requiring theory". Now who knows what is to show up... best, Fabio "Sooner" Macedo

[ quoted text not captured ] Well, today they skipped Call the Great Beast, as expected, and The Call. That gives us four of the ten. I didn't expect to see a lot of the non-Bloodline combo discipline cards, but I think we'll see some of them. There might not be any vamps in this set that could play Beast Meld, The Call, or Nightmare Curse, but some of the others work for Bloodlines. Elemental Stoicism works for Samedi, Shroud of Absence works for Kyasid, and Soul Painting should work for the Ishtarri. My guess is that the other six we won't get reprints of are: Condemnation ---- (I'm not sure which, but I bet we lose one of them. My hope would be Languid) Denial of Aphrodite's Favor Drought of the Soul Iron Heart (Even though the Guruhi could play it) Nightmare Curse (Which is a shame) Soul Painting (Even though the Ishtarri could play it)

[ quoted text not captured ] ...or maybe we'll just lose a bunch of Baali stuff because I don't think there will be any Baali crypt cards in this set.
