convocation rules what about political decks

Reading the restricted lists they have a lot of good votes in there but no bleed cards i use 3 of kine recsources contested and conservative agitation but i have few bleed cards 2 bondings and a legal manipulations and that would be in a 90 card deck that means my main remove blood cards restricted but a mate who has 3-4 conditionings as well as lots of other bleed cards (3threats etc) has no such restriction! As a indicator my pollitical deck has 11 of the restricted cards but the friend who plays a bleed deck has 1 maybe 2! And on the banned list they have rowan ring but not the ivory bow no one uses rowan ring or stake in our games (and we have got them) but the ivory is one of the most feared cards (especialy since i havent got it) Sorry for whinging ParadoX _________________________________________________________________ / ParadoX aka Neil Hughes \ | | Social Sec/ Liason Officer Anime Anon (sheffield) | \| Dimple IS the Nosferatou Justicar! | | _____________________________________________________________|_ | / email on N.G.h...@sheff.ac.uk / \_/______________________________________________________________/

Only the Monocle was banned for playability reasons. -- L. Scott Johnson (sjoh...@math.sc.edu) | These opinions are mine and http://www.math.sc.edu/~sjohnson | are subject to card text.

As Duelist #7 hasn't come out yet, I'll ask all and sundry: has the Monocle been fixed in V:tES? That is, have questions about future intentions been given a time limit to your next untap? This is a simple fix for an otherwise wonderful card. With this fix, compound questions are out, erosion of opponents' degrees of freedom is out, but a tricky and useful card is still in.

Monocle of Clarity was dropped in VTES, actually, for being a problem child. I believe the rulings that make Monocle of Clarity into an almost reasonable card came down after the in/out list for VTES was set in stone.

Well, pshaw. May I be the first to request that the fixed Monocle be included in some "Antiquities"-type VTES expansion? (Altho "Antiquities" and Vampire _does_ seem to be redundant...)
