Lorenzo Detuono Aus / Dem / DOM / NEC / POT Independent. Red List : If Lorenzo is ready at the end of combat and the opposing minion is not, Lorenzo may burn 5 blood to move the opposing minion to your ready region (with 1 life for an ally with no life) instead. Illusions of the Kindred Type: Combat Requires: Chimerstry Cost: 2 blood Only usable before range is determined. [chi] Combat ends. Move the bottom card of your crypt to your ready region. He or she does not contest any other vampires or titles in play. The vampire has an amount of blood equal to half of his or her capacity (round down). Combat begins between the vampire and the opposing minion. Remove the crypt card from the game at the end of combat. [CHI] As above, but the vampire has an amount of blood equal to his or her capacity. Ravnos gets into combat, playing Illusions at superior to pull Lorenzo from the crypt. Thoughts betrayed, bins, steals and then dissapears. Trouble is getting the Ravnos out in the opening 4 while keeping a crypt full of Lorenzo Maybe not too competative but may be a fun idea for someone to make as a deck. Who knows....

[ quoted text not captured ] Both Lorenzo and Illusions have an "at the end of combat" effect. What is the order? If Illusions resolves first (which it might, since it is played first), Lorenzo's special cannot be used. Also, at inferior Chi, having enough blood to use his special will be challenging.

[ quoted text not captured ] I would run it as a solo Lorenzo deck and give him chimerstry (with skillcard and eye which also allows rush + reduction in price on the Illusions) instead. Like with the old Alexandra illusions deck, but here with the catch that you dont untap, but that you gain a minion and your prey/pred loses one.

Is there any reason why Lorenzo would not get his special? >Also, at inferior >Chi, having enough blood to use his special will be challenging. Hence the reason for using it at superior. Interestinjg to get an official ruling on the timing for the above however [ quoted text not captured ]

Yes -- if the illusion removes him from play. Specials on cards not in play cannot be used. (Plus, he wouldn't meet the "if ready" condition if he were removed from play.) Anyway, they have the same window, so the acting Methuselah orders the effects, as usual. [ quoted text not captured ]

I was planning on using this GIO with the Potence malks and using fast reaction to bin a away at low risk to steal vamps while using potence stealth to bleed.

For future generations: Illusions of the Kindred, when used to pull Lorenzo Detuono from the crypt, will NOT remove him from the game before he can use his special.
