Re: Watenda vs. Adana de Sforza

For Adana, yes.
But Watenda's card text tells us that he pays the same cost as the
opposing minion. Adana doesn't make it cheaper for other minions in
combat with her. Her cardtext is very specific in that. "Combat cards
cost Adana 1 less blood."
Watenda: "...a combat card the opposing minion plays by burning an

Yeah, but I'm still hoping that one day they will add the option where
everyone gets a random Jyhad starter and then you can draft boosters.
Right now, with Jyhad starters and Any boosters, you either have to
draft the Jyhad starter as a starter or not draft any of the boosters
(straight sealed).

[snip 1.4.1 rule and discussion]
Since the beginning of the game, and even when the JYHAD backs
got changed to V:TES backs, in all the places I have ever played,
I have never encountered a single player, judge, or T.O. who said
anything about mixed backs.
For what it's worth. ;)
Again, in all the tournaments I have ever played in or run,

JH,
Don't forget that if a bleed action is for a total of 0 or less it is
an unsuccessful BLEED but still is a successful action. So Spying
Mission will not "autoburn" unless the bleed action resolves for 1 or
more.
Spying Mission
Type: Action Modifier
Requires: Obfuscate
[obf] +1 stealth.
[OBF] Only usable when a bleed would be successful. The bleed burns no

I have published the winning constructed decklists for 10 years.
I'm not going to publish limited event decklists, for the same reason
that the official WW cardlist doesn't list draft effects.
The winner of the event may wish to post their draft deck, of course.

If you can't basically obscure the card from yourself (like with the
Jyhad-only cards), then you need to use sleeves that will obscure the
card back. Either way, the core of this rule is: you should not be
able to guess your next card. You either know it (from some in-game
effect) or you don't know it (or maybe it's the only card left).

VEKN Rules Questions

2009-11-24T22:15:02Z

I was going over the VEKN Rules and found a few oddities that I was
hoping to get some clarification on:
All cards in a player's deck must be genuine Vampire: The Eternal
Struggle or Jyhad cards.
If cards with distinct backs are used in the same deck (e.g., Jyhad
and Vampire: The Eternal Struggle cards, or upside-down 3rd Edition

Okay, you caught me. The deck I played contained 52 cards and we drafted
9 packs of KoT, so that's 47 cards unaccounted for. The truth, and I
didn't want to embarass my fellow players, but now you force me to, is
that the unplayed cards were all Enkil Cogs (15), Unmaskings (12),
Embraces (14, not counting the one that slipped into my deck) and Jake

And finally, if you want to get nitpicky about the rules:
1.6. Publishing Event Information
White Wolf, Inc. reserves the right to publish event information such
as the contents of any player's deck as well as transcripts or video
reproductions of any sanctioned tournament. The tournament organizer
is also permitted to publish event information.

Yes, but VEKN 1.7 largely makes it a frivolous exercise:
1.7. Document Updates
The V:EKN reserves the right to alter these rules as well as the right
to interpret, modify, clarify, or otherwise issue official changes to
these rules, with or without prior notice.
Even if you do carefully memorize the VEKN rules, they can be abruptly

This is all delightful news! I very much look forward to seeing all
the winning deck lists, particular for the following events:
- Constructed events with less than 10 players (I really wanna see the
winners of those 4-player tourneys!)
- Limited events (don't forget proper decklists include ALL cards that
