WHy don't you use adv petaniqua ? Basic can't recruit tunel runners, and you have to meet requirement for mask. Sabbat.Black Hand Shakar: Lech loathe ranged weapons. Once each action, he may burn 1 blood to become Camarilla Prince of Krakow until the end of the action.

Because getting out advanced with certainty means either such an unbalanced crypt (5, 4, 3) it can get pentexed and I will never get a second vampire. Also it was late and I made a mistake. Tunnel runners will cost 1.

Tunnel runners will cost 1. > D you mean advanced, or merged? Advanced version is mandatory because you won't be able to recruit the Tunnel Runners with her otherwise. Merging her is not necessary, even though playing 5 Petaniqua ADV + 1 Petanique base gives you a chance to do so without jeopardizing your game. Keep in mind that Petanique is infernal, meaning using her each turn roughly "costs" 1 pool. Prince of Paris, France Ratings Coordinator, Rules Director

I think cheap tunnel runners are better with that 7 cap Akunase girl - Aisata Swanou. Yes, you lose on good stealth and bounce, but VIC stealth isn't bad and you are not infernal, not to mention she can be influenced out faster. Sabbat.Black Hand Shakar: Lech loathe ranged weapons.

I will not agree with "faster" because Zillah's valley doesn't work on her and the end result will be the same Turn 3. But with sufficient information Highway I can make the deck work from position 1 as well. Pro Aisata: + Free draw + Less moving parts + Freak Drive + Cheaper to recruit at first, more expensive Werewolves = same net result.

I have reworked the deck. I'm not so shure about the information highway anymore. I kinda like Information Highway + Mapatano Utanda + Villein as a way to get 10 caps out in a single influence phase. Big problem is the deficit this causes. Do you think there's a concept to be made with - Information Highway - Mapatano Utanda - Villein - Golconda: inner peace - Soul Gem of Etrius - Redeem the lost soul Much alike Cybelotron decks but with the possibility of getting unique vampires out? Anyway here is the revision, wich is probably too much Info Highway and too little Villein and too low cap.

The cost for untapping Pentaniqua is paid by the PLAYER not the Vampire. Retired Baron of Sydney, Australia, 418

Soul Gem only triggers if they burn, so it doesn't trigger off Golconda. Redeem the Lost Soul requires the target to be in the ash heap, so not removed from game. The first 4 cards work as a great way to make a lot of pool, but then you end up with no vampires in play and a pile of pool. Now you need a way to oust your prey.
