First of all, Congratulations to LSJ and White Wolf!
We had our prerelease yesterday, and Sword of Caine is a really great
fun set to draft. (It's just unfortunate that the Watchtower has too
much text to warrant a Draftferior, rendering it useless in any reasonable
draft situation, with no Gehenna Events around...)
I was able to create a semi-coherent deck around Elimelech, which took
3rd place out of 12, and is the beginning of a "real" constructed deck
for sure.
But not only that; it looks like this is the first EVER Vtes expansion
with absolutely no typos, printing errors, or such problems!
That is definitely reason to celebrate!!
Just one dumb question about The Uncoiling:
Is Uncoiling:
a) a "typeless" Event (like Hexaped is a typeless Ally that says "Ally
with...")?
or
b) an "Event Event" (since all other Events' first keywords are their
Event Type)?
This really is completely irrelevant at this time, and probably forever,
since the only Event Type that matters to an in-game effect is Gehenna,
and we're unlikely to have an effect that begins with "Choose an Event
Type". But I was just curious about intention :)
Thanks.

A. (Card text -- contrast "normal" allies with Hexaped).

Correct, it is irrelevant.
