Final Nights preview after pre-release

Hi all, Well I was very surprised to see such a strong set of cards, this set really opens a lot of new possibilities... For some who are curious here are some expanations of some of the cards : All Independent clans now have a 11-cap vampire who are RARE cards (so last in the booster and giving you 4 vamps in that booster) : Ur Shulgi, assamite (!) Esmeralda, Ravnos ( best of all, you can burn her to gain 11 pool !!!!) Sutekh, The Dark God, Setites !!! I forgot the name of the Giovanni :) but she can get cards back from ashheap and something more An artifact that gives you superior Thaumaturgy An artifact that gives you superior Necromancy AND WITH IT YOU CAN GET CARDS BACK FROM ASHHEAP !!! so GIOVANNI are great ... why ... well one card only does it !! --> SHAMBLING HORDES... cost you 3 blood from the vamp, it requires necromancy , it has strength equal to it's life which is FOUR, it can never gain life, it can attack any minion as D-action ... not unique... so SETITES are great, why ? Venenation : Action modifier if vamp is blocked he gains corruption counter..; Enticement : Only usable if you control the edge, burn it as d-action to cause prey to lose 2 pool/ 3 pool on SUP, after this you can no longer bleed for the turn. some more cards then : DEFLECTION GETS IT's ASS KICKED why ? -> Contingency Planning , Master: out-of-turn, but it can be played in your turn. Burn a minion card that would change the target of the bleed as it is played, after playing this card if the bleed is succesful the bleed is reduced to 1. only usable when minion you control is bleeding --Treasured Samadji unique, equipment requires ravnos Ravnos get +1 bleed and may dodge as a strike once per combat King of the mountain fortitude, cost 2 prevent all damage from minion's strike if he uses a melee weapon it is destroyed SUP : oppossing minion gets equal damage as he inflicts, but you can still prevent his damage ( with another card) For those who read the clannovels : Calebros, The Martyr Cammarilla Prince of New York obf,pot,ANI; 5 CAP any older camarilla vamp can steal his title which calebros can't block Tariq, The Silent Independent cel,AUS,FOR,OBF,QUI, 7 CAP his CAP is reduced to 3 if he enters play, can enter combat as D-action, bloodhunt has no effect on him, he is not affected with Bloodcurse THIS IMO is A VERY GOOD VAMPIRE Anatole, Prophet of gehenna dom,for,AUS,DEM,OBF +1 intercept you may look and shuffle top 5 cards of your library oh yes before i forget , Dreams of the Sphinx can be found in the GIOVANNI starter... Enjoy Final nights, I alrfeady have... greetings, Steven

That strikes me as really dumb. >>DEFLECTION GETS IT's ASS KICKED why ? -> Contingency Planning , Master: out-of-turn, but it can be played in your turn.

It only works when your own minions are Deflected (so it doesn't protect you from your Predator's Deflections) and it reduces your bleed to 1. Yeah, I suppose it keeps you from bleeding out your grand prey (at the cost of 1 pool per bleed...) if you expect a lot of Deflections from your prey, but I hardly see this as the game changer people seem to be building it up as. >>oh yes before i forget , Dreams of the Sphinx can be found in the GIOVANNI starter...>> Along with The Parthenon, Ambrosious, Command of the Beast and a few other good ex-rare cards. The Giovanni starter is A) really good in a limited game environment and B) full of really good cards you want anyways.

<snip FN comments> Marciana Giovanni, investigator. Giovanni, capacity 2, dom Marciana burns one extra blood for bleed actions You may tap Marciana to let another non-Sabbat vampire burn 1 blood for +1 intercept. This struck me as the most AMAZING card. Slightly off-topic, i'm intrigued by your handle. Analnatrach Urthfaz Bethud Doch yel Dyenve Do you, by any chance, know what this means, where it comes from etc? i only know it as the summoning spell from John Boorman's Excalibur.

Is that Marciana Giovanni, investigator the smallest vampire with special ability ? "legbiter" <legb...@my-deja.com> a écrit dans le message news: 68f2e9f8.01061...@posting.google.com... [ quoted text not captured ]
