Will there be news cards from the disciplines from DS and AH or will my Ravnos deck stay the same forever???

I don't know about Fortitude and Chimerstry, but since Tzimisce(a clan from the Sabbat) have Animalism, I'd imagine there will be new Animalism cards.

IMHO, the Settites' signature discipline, serpentis, is woefully constructed of actions that they must defend with their pitiful combat potential. Of them all, only Mark of Damnation gets an excellent grade for being aesthetically appropriate, properly powered, and it even seems to cost the right amount of blood (one issue that I feel was overlooked in reaction to AH-many powerful cards just don't cost enough!). The others don't give the Settites enough nasty options to make them anywhere near as powerful as the pre-existing clans. Their mix of disciplines is intrinsically interesting, but none of the current vampires below nine capacity have them all at superior! Also, the Ravnos and the Giovanni could use some new tactics to improve them. Oh well, I guess they'll be made even more obsolete by the mayhem that the Lasombra and Tzimisce will be able to unleash... Scott > > --Shawn F.

The Sabbat will not have discipline cards for those clans introduced in AH and DS. Expect to see some new stuff after the Sabbat. It won;t stay the same forever... -- [ quoted text not captured ]

I know it isn't much help, but more should be coming soon, once Sabbat is released. [ quoted text not captured ]
