Deck idea: A new way for Ravnos

Hi folks!

Norman Brown aka XZealot posted like endless decks on the newsgroup. For some people this seemed to be pretty annoying. Well you can't please everyone, right? I myself found some of XZealot's ideas pretty amusing, but there was one deck that caught my attention:

Ravnos Whack-a-Mole

The basic idea is that you steal all the pool from your prey's uncontrolled region. Should any vampire pop out you just send it back with Reality.

You can build a pretty cool swarm bleed module around it with Tumnimos and weenie Ravnos vampires. Week of Nightmares will give you ousting power and Chimerstry has pretty good stealth and combat defense available. I'm sure that my version of this deck would differ in many cards, but the basic idea is really cool. Thumbs up!!!

Tournament Report: Dragon's Breath Rounds Budapest

Hi folks!

17:30 Budapest, Hungary…

A bunch of guys and girls approaching to a club called DragonFlame, to get some Vtes experience on Friday evening at a new tournament, 2 rounds + final. 24 players attended, some of them are the new generation of the Hungarian VtES community, embraced at the latest tournaments called „the Progeny Tournament”. At the end, some elder Matuselahs arrived to show the embraces the tricks of the game.

22:45 Final

A former Hungarian champion who has just returned from Scotland for some games, Adam, played with Nana Buruku - animalism/ Ashur Tablets. His Prey is Najdzsel , one representative of the new generation, played with 1-cap vamps KRC/Conservatives/Titles/breed deck. His Prey is Lady Kitti, a Malkavian s&b with Korah and Rodolfo. Then came myself, Mr_Toreador, just arriving from Paris and I used Uta Kovacs and the gang to secure my way to the final. My prey was Balu, one of the louder but (in  ) experienced players of the group - he played a Lodin + Ventrues Vote deck.

After some confrontation between Lodin and Nana Buruku, the latest was diablerized, so Adam’s play had been slowed down. Then Najdzsel had the chance to bleed Kitti 1by1, and I was bled by 3 by 3 on stealth. After some turns, Kitti was ousted and Balu and me were on 1-1 pool, Najdzsel finally had the votelock. Balu had 2 Radios (WMRH+KRCG),+ Ossian, so Najdzsel had no real chance to oust him, so he decided, to oust both of us with one KRC. Here came the surprise #1: Balu gave me 1 intercept for one pool and self-ousted for blocking the vote seeing no chance for himself at that point. I survived on 2 pools after the +6. In my turn I bled Adam out from 16 pools. It gave me +1 turn, while I sufered 2 more votes and bleeds. Najdzsel at 8 pool, influenced out his 7th ready minion, so he went down to 6. After some card cycling, Rutor’s hand crushed down via a Governed and Conditioned bleed through the mirror…

Killer Combo: Crocodiles Tongue + Kiss of Ra

Hi folks!

It's been a while since my last Killer Combo post. This ones strength is that the cards are very usable on their own too, so you don't necessarily need to wait for both to show up. This combo can do what most combat decks fail to achieve: send a vampire to torpor with two cards only and causing it four damage. Do this once, next time people will be afraid blocking you!

Some vampires to consider playing this combo with:

Bruce de Guy

Well, I think nobody will expect you to play such a combo with him. Since he is a Cardinal another one of your vampires can go for a diablerie action or just play a Graverobbing, which is even more fun. Add Banishment to the deck!

Gotsdam, The Tired Warrior

Basically you play the good ol' Grinder deck enhanced with this combo. Crocodiles Tongue will help you against allies too, which is important since you might want to play with Daring the Dawn!

Lydia, Grand Praetor

She can fetch the Ankara Citadel with Summon History making Kiss of Ra even more effective since it will cost her only 1 blood. You most likely want to play the Domain of Evernight + Outside the Hourglass combo instead, but maybe you want to use something else...

Mary Ann Blaire

With her built in bloat action you will always have something you want to get passed. Play this combo once and nobody will care about those 2 pool. Isn't that nice?

I hope you liked this one. There are some more vamps out there who could use this so it's up to you. Give it a try and have fun!

New National Coordinator

Hi folks!

Since we had no active National Coordinator I applied for it. I hope I will be able to put Hungary on the international v:tes map. I always had the feeling that we were/are pretty isolated from the international v:tes community. This was one of the main reasons why I decided to run my blog in English.
