This card has a great YEAH and a great NO on it. It allows to add any crypt card in an anarch deck, but then... "I play a temptation on Arika: Arika goes Anarch"...

A Pulse of the Canaille variant. Why not... More powerful I'd say, as the inf Pulse is seldom used, and the sup is the same but more expensive.

At first I wondered what the interest was (just woke up). Oh, yeah, it's an "anti" card !! Nice if you really need it. Depends on the mythogame, I guess ?

AT LAST !!! Been asking for it a long time...
LSJ :
- we know that 1 or 2 votes = Titled ; if the indie Titled just had 1 or 2 votes, how do you choose his Barony ? - If he had 1 vote, he gains one as well as if he had 2 ?
Tom don't worry : Arika as a Baron would only lose 2 votes, the ability to play Protect etc. and gain the ability to burn by PTO. Not worth going Anarch IMHO. But I'd love to do it as a theme deck !! ;-)
Thanks LSJ and team. These look like (mostly) useful cards. -- Orpheus

the text seems a bit dodgy: it requires a titled vampire and then: 'If he or she had a title...' it would make more sense if it was: 'If he or she was a prince or an archbishop...'
let's hope that the official version is a bit more sensible... otherwise some rulings and/or errata will be inevitable.

And what if...
Same City = No City. In this case : the Baron isn't Baron but has 2 votes, as would Synesios, Ambrogino would keep 1 vote, and Arika lose all. Logical ?

The preview in LN was either a pre-proof version, or was transcribed incorrectly for this thread (given the spelling and capitalization issues, I'd guess the latter). The actual text is:
+1 stealth action. Requires a ready, non-anarch, titled vampire. Put an anarch counter on this acting vampire. This vampire becomes anarch (and Independent). If he or she had a city title, he or she becomes the baron of the same city as his or her previous title. Minions without titles cannot block this action. Burn the anarch counter if this vampire changes sects.

Vellllly nice !!
So :
- Anson becomes Baron of Seattle - The Baron keeps his 2 Indie Votes - Arika goes to f... herself : down to 0 vote.
Right ?
Thanx for that... Hope there's more where it comes from.
[weeping tears of joy] So happy. So very happy. I'm off to spend some time with Monger, looking at vamps I've never considered before...
If only it weren't rare. I'm going to have to trade for this like a mad fiend.
By the way, an interesting side note on this is that if The Baron becomes Anarch (keeping his non-sect title), he only gets one vote in referenda to burn Fee Stakes, as he does not have an Anarch title. Not a big deal, just an interesting effect.

I knew you'd love it Simon !! ;-)
BTW, I gotta tweak a little more an Anarch deck of mine and I'll post it. I didn't get much VPs as of now (not much luck, played like a tired ass...) but all the players who saw it in effect liked the principle. Nuff said. ;-)
And soon I'll prove that the Samedi Anarchs can Wall up !!

adam.hu...@ngc.com wrote: > Orpheus, why would the Baron keep his 2 votes?
I'm not Orpheus, but why wouldn't he? He doesn't change sects and card text doesn't say that he loses his title, so it stays. Arika & co. do change from Cam/Sabbat to Indep when playing the card and therefore they lose their title (or become Baron if Prince/Archbishop), but not so for indies with inherent votes.

Uhm. I don't really see why Presence bleed needs a boost like this but otoh it is a small matter wether Arika bleeds for 8 or 10 I suppose.

Hehe. Poor Anson. It is a cool card but I'm not sure how much play it will see.

Wow. That opens up for a LOT of new decks. Unfortunaly it appears to be a rare.

Hosers are a bit tricky. First, this one does nasty things to "Anson and all-Masters" decks which are a pain to counter otherwise. Second, it kills turbo decks - so long Arikas, Tariqs etc. Third, it can do nasty things to decks with strong modules built around say, Matthias or Synesios.
Easy to see this one as a support card in a number of decks, and especially in tournaments as a safeguard against especially those pesky Anson decks.

Problem is that you have to burn the vampire first. if you do this action against Anson, you have to burn him in the same turn. If the card text is right, Golconda does not start the effect of The name forgotten, because it doesn't burn the vampire. And we all know how much Golconda the Anson master deck packs.
Problems I see with this card: 1. It can completely destroy all decks based on one vampire. it 's a hoser. Most decks don't have room for hosers. Ok, it hoses a lot of different kinds of decks, but is not usefull in every game. 2. against anson decks it will sit in you hand untill you got both the rush and the combat hand to burn Anson. 3. most combat is not aiming to burn vampires. just put them in torpor. So you'll have to risk another minion for diablerie. and diablerise succesfully too. most combat decks don't have a lot of stealth...

Duh. Quite right about Golconda. Well, it would've been too easy that way, I guess.

And most decks don't have that or THA, for that matter. Even so, if you're metagame has a lot of turbo or all Masters decks, you at least now do have one more card to try and use against them. I should think our tournaments will see a few of these used, considering how many times Anson + all Masters decks have won tournaments around here.
: 2. against anson decks it will sit in you hand untill you got both the rush : and the combat hand to burn Anson.
Well, it's not much use unless you're playing a decks that can burn Vampires, now is it? :) And, considering the Golconda decks, you wont get too many shots at the Vampire about to be forgotten, before it finds the inner peace. So yes, slapping the card on a Vampire wont alone make you happy. However, sacrificing a 1-3 cap to diab an Anson in torpor with Name Forgotten on him should be quite worth it.
: 3. most combat is not aiming to burn vampires. just put them in torpor. So : you'll have to risk another minion for diablerie. and diablerise : succesfully too. most combat decks don't have a lot of stealth...
Anson in torpor with Name Forgotten on him.. If someone on the table doesn't have that 1-2 cap to sacrifice, I'd be surprised :)
Will see how it goes. It's not an ultimate hosers, but it seems useful against decks that you had little hosers against before. Not easy to pull through (stealth to get the action through, enough combat before Golconda to get through Obediences and combat defense), and either combat burn or diab.
Or, you could just add some to go with Baltimore Purges and the like.

Not bad. I'm not sure the Assamites can be helped even through drastic measures like this, but the attempt is definitely admirable. Cool.

Yeah, now we only need a dominate card that gives +4 bleed at superior. Uncool.

Too bad Golconda removes you from the game. Semi-cool.

Let me join you in this reverie.
I can't express how happy I am.
And note that now the Anarchs have the support of a bunch of group 1/2 vampires with good discipline spread but had pesky Primogen/Bishop titles. Heck, maybe even Appolonius could be put to some use now. Have to check...

And it's a bloody rare. Granted, you wont need too many of them, but still.
: And note that now the Anarchs have the support of a bunch of group 1/2 : vampires with good discipline spread but had pesky Primogen/Bishop : titles.
Oh yeah. I quite like making the ol' Jyhad titled Vamps anarchable. Backward compatibility is always good. Now, I'd just like to see the revision of the grouping rule..
> Heck, maybe even Appolonius could be put to some use now. Have to > check...
honestly, Appolonius is far from salvation. Perhaps a great ADV version with a cool merge skill would ever make him usefull
Compare it to Brachah. Ok, lacks it's über and unique text (press and +1 bleed) and a really usefull title like primogen. But really, 5 more pool for inf. pot and that text... Better get brachah and buy her the eye of hazimel.
