I am curious to know what others think is the most potentially powerful Jyhad card out there. I know what the most potentially powerful Magic card is, and that is the: Demonic Tutor Jack Frost I'm sorry for mentioning that other game.

Lesse,... gotta be Day Operations, in my book. Nothing like a huge bleed that can't be blocked,... of course you can always re-direct it, but not in a 2-player game. -- ______________________________________________________________________________ W.

I think for Jyhad that you need to look more at combos than at single cards. For instance, Misdirection + (Govern the Unaligned + Conditioning)*number of vampires you have is a really nasty combo, but Misdirection + bleed for 1 with all your vampires is pointless. --------- Paul Schaaf sch...@u.washington.edu

I like that one too. But I have to say that wake with evenings freshness is my favourite. Nothing like waking up Basilia when they think they can bleed you at 0 stealth.:) Dan

Misdirection, while useful and often game finishing, has its drawbacks (the paid blood). I would say that the most powerful card by far is FAME!!!!! This card causes so many problems it is unreal. Perhaps it is the fact that not many Vulnerability cards are floating around in my group, but with Fame you can be causing 3 blood loss to your prey almost guaranteed if you're smart. -- Lars M Ericson: Professional Vagabond <leri...@gac.edu> The Lor, The Law, The Lars Team Garotte, Founding Member Registered Member of a Decadent Society Life is like a Wankel Engine.

> >>I am curious to know what others think is the most potentially powerful > >>Jyhad card out there. To me, the most powerful card has to be Wake with Evening Freshness. Circumvents Misdirection, with other cards can Deflect(ion) or Telepathic Misdirect(ion) a Day Operation bleed or a stealth bleed. This allows you to do what you need to do on your turn, knowing that you will be able to handle your preditor. It even works agains Freak Drive, Majesty, and Earth Meld.

You cannot stack Fames anymore, the DTR has ruled Fame to be a Unique Master card (better than no change at all, though I still like my solution better). Day Op is also a rare and it does send a minion to torpor, so it does have a heafty cost. Why do you mention _four_ Fames and _four_ Spying Missions (sic)? Are you playing with some silly Mt$-holdover four card limit? There are no card limits in Jyhad. There do not need to be card limits in Jyhad (the individual cards are balanced, unlike Mt$). Card limits make certain strategies (combat rush) unviable. If you are using card limits, I encourage you to stop. Nil carborundum illigitimi, James R.

Aw come on - the most powerful card has *got* to be Fame. This is the most degenerate broken card in the entire game, especially since it is not unique. -- ----- sah...@bga.com

It's still pretty nasty, but not to the extent it was before. A weenie with Fame and a buff dude with Talbot's Chainsaw still hurts pretty bad though. --------- Paul Schaaf sch...@u.washington.edu

Personally I'm rather fond of the boon cards...not so much life boon as major boon. The way I read that card's description is that you theoretically could take a 1 bleed against your opponent and make him take an obscene bleed for you. My only question about the cards worth is can you use it in a two player game? Could you make a weenie attack on your opponent bleed him for 1 and use your Major Boon to prevent it? If so that would make for a very intresting tactic.

[ quoted text not captured ] Hi FrobozzWiz, Well, I don't belive you can play OOT masters in your own turn, if you could this card would be a gamewinner.... Algustas *****Oh no, no time for a quote, my file server is going down until tues.***** Algustas

In fact, the only way I could think of to use it would be to use a Malkavian Madness Network to bleed him right after his own turn and then play a boon. This would require that your opponent tap out, and that you have both a MMN and the Boon (and don't need to play any other Masters next turn) just my $0.02 worth, gary
