Vast Wealth

If you search the library by Vast Wealth, have you got to show your cards to the other players? If NO, how is it controlled, that the player really takes the FIRST piece of equipment he finds. Thanks, Fakie

Nope. >If NO, how is it controlled, that the player really takes the FIRST >piece of equipment he finds. It is generally assumed that people are to some degree honorable. Any players who are later found to NOT be so can be quietly redirected back over to the M4g1c!!! section of the room. As usual, if there's a worry in a tournament, summon the judge. If there's a worry in your local playgroup, you may wish to reconsider exactly who you're playing with. -- Derek "You should rush your predator this turn." "Why?" "Because he's not me."

No. > If NO, how is it controlled, that the player really takes the FIRST > piece of equipment he finds. Same as superior Govern the Unaligned: If you have a judge, have the judge "control" it. If not, be sure you play with people who don't cheat. -- LSJ (vte...@white-wolf.com) V:TES Net.Rep for White Wolf, Inc.

With Govern the Unaligned, you're most likely going to bring out that vampire and then everyone can see the capacity. With Vast Wealth, you get to shuffle afterwards which means you can cover your tracks. Unless they summon the judge immediately, you'll be able to destroy all the evidence... Let's just hope for the honor system! =) Halcyan 2

Typically, Vast Wealth decks tend to use multiple copies of the same equipment so it doesn't really matter which copy they get as knowing how deep card X is buried won't help them once the deck gets shuffled.

[ quoted text not captured ] But if they have multiple types of equipment and they're willing to take the chance, they can pretty much go for whatever they want. See you have 5 .44's, 5 Leather Jackets, 5 Flame Throwers, and 5 Ivory Bows (just making stuff up). Since I don't have to show the cards in my library, when I use Vast Wealth, I can "pretend" that the .44's and Leather Jackets aren't equipment and keep looking through until I find the Ivory Bow which is what I need right now. Vast Wealth pretty much gets to function as a Magic of the Smith (where you get to choose what you get)... Halcyan 2
