Some funky out-of-clans there, but new options are always interesting
to play with. I am a bit sad to see the 10-cap with only inferior
obf, but I guess that's why we have Deviki. Were there any specials
of note? *crosses fingers*

Not a fan of Tajdid, but I can see that new players will need access
to it. I just wish it was reprinted as a trifle. Good to see
Haquim's Law: Judgment is a fixed-rare as that was a pain to chase
after. Not a fan of Frontal Assault either although it will be good
to see it at fixed-rarity as well. Notable absences: Alamut &
Heartblood of the Clan. Glad they didn't waste space reprinting
Khabar: Community though.

Could we get more detail on Loss? I hope it's a better bleed action
than Songs of the Distant Vitae. A beefy +2 bleed action may be
unoriginal, but the clan could use the ousting power. Even a +1 bleed
with some other effect would be nice. Pairing it with equipment
destruction is also nice if the card turns out to be worth playing
since we'll always have that threat to counter guns, etc.

Haquim's Law: Leadership is a nice boost as well for the clan. Pool
gain has always been an issue since it's hard to Tap or Blood Doll off
your minions too much since our combats were usually blood intensive.
Sadly I wonder if this card basically wallpapers Heartblood of the
Clan for pool gain because Leadership is clearly superior. I suppose
you could make an argument for card-efficiency of a permanent
location, but I think you'd have to use the Heartblood alot to
overcome the initial pool cost/lower return vs. the additional pool
and +1 stealth you get with Leadership.
Overall I'm very happy with the action assortment.

Ironically I'm more excited about the 3x WWS than anything else in
this section. They were such a pain to get in Camarilla and now I can
get 3 in one starter! On the sad note, no Blood Sweat or Thin Blood
reprints.

Oooh, "block fails" is always a good thing assuming no funky pre-
reqs. Combine that with Deed the Heart's Desire and Elder
Impersonation for some really nice delivery options. Pairing it with
intercept is also nice to catch those myriad 1 stealth actions.
Hopefully this card lives up to my expectations and doesn't have any
weird pre-reqs or odd drawbacks.

Another reprint I'm glad to see.

> CEL: +1 stealth
Seems a bit meh to me. 1 blood for effects that are otherwise free on
different cards that Assamites have access to seems too heavy a price
to pay when putting them together doesn't really give you much added
flexibility. I doubt this will make it in any of my Assamite decks,
but maybe other CEL users will like it.
Overall I'm content with the deck. I would have liked a few other
reprints and some that were included didn't seem worthwhile, but I
guess it could have been worse. The new cards have really got me
salivating now... someone post full text on these new cards please!

Well.. nothing fancy. There are some better Assamites in this
expansion.
Dmitri Borodin
Assamite
Capacity 10
obf AUS CEL NEC QUI
burn blood to
Independent: Once each combat, Dimitri may burn 1 blood to prevent all
damage from the opposing minion's strike. Once each action, he may
burn 1 blood to get +1 stealth. Blood Cursed
I would still prefer superior OBF instead of this ability stealth for
blood though.
Kashan
Assamite
Capacity 7
obt pre CEL OBF QUI
Group 4
Independent: Kashan have 1 vote(titled). Blood Cursed.
Thucimia
Assamite
Capacity 10
CEL DEM OBF QUI for pro
Group 4
Independent: Thucimia has one vote (titled). Once each time she
bleeds, she may reduce your hand size by 2 until your next untap phase
to get +1 bleed. +1 bleed. +1 band size. Blood Cursed.

Loss is good action. No comparison to SotDV. It burns locations on
minion also, not only equipment.
Loss
Action. 1 Blood
qui:(D) Burn an equipment or location on minion controlled by your
predator or prey.
QUI:(D) Bleed at +2 bleed

Well... Heartblood of the Clan was never good in the first place. So
there's no harm it was wallpaperized.
>Overall I'm very happy with the action assortment.
Other actions for Quietus in the LoN:
Poison the Well of Life
Action +1 stealth
qui: Burn a hunting ground
QUI: Burn all hunting grounds controlled by other methuselahs. Ready
minion controlled by controllers of the hunting grouds may attempt to
block as if this were a d action (instead of the usual blockers).
Retain the Quick Blood
Action
+1 stealth action.
cel/qui:put blood spend on quietus and celerity on the card.during
your untap move 1 blood from this card to the vampire.
CEL/QUI:as above but move 2 blood.
Condemn the Sins of the Father.
No exact text. Basically it taps and burns one blood from younger
vampires of a chosen clan.

Nest of Eagles
Reaction, Assamite
Reduce a bleed against you by 1. If the acting minion is a vampire
with capacity less than 6 or ally, reduce the bleed by 3. Not usable
if the acting minion is an Assamite or wraith or has flight].
Along with Truth In Ink it can be a quite powerful bleed reduction
mechanism for BH Assamites.

No. No weird pre-requirments. Only 'younger', just like Deed the
Heart's Desire.
Blood Awakening
Reaction/Action Modifier, 1 blood
qui: +1 intercept
QUI: Only usable when a younger vampire is attempting to block this
acting vampire. That block attempt fails. That vampire cannot attempt
to block this action again.

Mistake. She dosn't have +1 bleed. Only special to reduce your hand
for +1 bleed.
