Put it on someone and Cryptic Mission the Ilomba a lot, and save
yourself the effort of the Societies.
Put it on a key opposing vampire and when you fight them, you go to
long and send all your strikes at the Ilomba--they can't use fortitude
to prevent the damage, and eventually, they get burned.
Seems pretty cool to me.

The victim burns if he can't afford to keep Ilomba alive. It's a weak
but accessible Anathema for ranged combat and an arguably stronger
Society of Leopold for blood denial decks.

I don't understand it the same way as you do : I'd say repeated strikes for

Now I know for like, 99% sure the answer is 'no', but...
When you draw a card using this ability, do you first discard down to

In Atlanta, we've held a pre-release event (8 players). What we did
was to allow anyone to draft an Aye or Orun instead of taking a card
from their current booster until all of them were gone. There were 5
Aye & 5 Orun per table.
It seemed to work very well in practice.

Has anyone else noticed this little clause on Orun:
"If this Laibon...successfully performs a (D) action against a non-mortal

So, rushing with this guy is going to have diminishing returns...
Or require even more Orun for upkeep.

Chris Berger
I've seen a lot of people say strange things about Ilomba - either
they don't understand how it works or I don't... just to make sure
I'm not missing something... The minion burns blood when the Ilomba
takes damage (technically, when it burns a life or would be burned),
and the minion burns only if Ilomba is causing it to burn blood and it
cannot. So... how the heck could you burn someone with Foul Blood?
Ilomba isn't a terrible card, but it's a card for use in wacky combos,
not something that can just burn minions without plenty of effort and
planning...
Chris Berger
I don't know, I still think he's awfully brutal. Cel has Savannah
Runner and Rooftop Shadows, Fortitude has Steadfastitude (or whatever
it's called), Protean has Eyes of the Beast and Sonar... plus
Familial Bond, and any permanent intercept you care to use... you
don't get the Enhanced Senses/Ministry/Quicken Sight caliber of
intercept cards, but he could definitely do some blocking. And a few
rushes in there for when you really need them and it's worth the
Orun...
The problem with all the Orun stuff is that they are so fragile.
Brutal Influence lets you bleed for a million, but if you use even 1
Orun (and don't get blocked/reduced), then that pops an Orun for
bleeding over 2. Some cool combat stuff is in the set, but rush
vampires and that'll pop an Orun too. Aye, by comparison, are
relatively tough to blow up, and provide an arguably better effect on
their own.

It's an easy way to get your .44 bullets past Skin of Steel and
whatnot. You'd want a permanent source of multiaction to make it worth
it for a combat deck but I'm sure it's doable.
Malone
Yes, I agree with Orpheus, especially when Ilomba is at 1 life (which
it almost always will be).
If the Ilomba has more than 1 life it's even less clear what happens
when it takes multiple points of damage.
John Flournoy
Ranged combat, or as been hinted at elsewhere, close-range combat
combined with Target: Retainers.
-John Flournoy
Chris Berger
And Laibon guns + multiact + Ilomba + enough stealth to make the
Ilomba stick isn't a crazy combo for just getting around Skin of
Steel? (Okay, it also burns the minion without having to do agg
damage or Amaranth, which is good - I admit it's better than my
*first* impression of it... I think I stopped reading the first time
when I hit "ih he cannot" and didn't understand it. Not that a pretty
simple typo should have confused me that much, but it stopped my
scanning and caused me to ignore that line - without being able to
burn the minion, it would be balls.)
Still, other than circumventing prevent, which can be great depending
on metagame, there's still a question of how much effort it's worth to
burn minions instead of sending them to torpor where Fame and
Dragonbound can do their magic...
LSJ
Taking five damage, the Iloumba would burn a life or be burned five times, so
the employer burns 5 blood instead (or rather, burns a blood five times).

that goes along with it, for a clan that doesn't intercept all that
well (though better now than before). I mean, I generally consider
anything involving guns to be a crazy combo anyway. I know that .44
is the one gun that is worth its cost, but I still always preach that
if you can't get around either the cost of the equipment or the action
to get the equipment, then it's not worth it (thus Concealed). And
cel + aus block decks with Concealed .44s are good (at least, good at
what they do, which is block and shoot - not sure how good at
ousting)... but it's still a decent-length chain combo, and when you
remove the aus, you're either using less efficient intercept, or
you're doing rush combat, which I always find a dicey proposition with
weapons, especially if you don't have permanent rush.
Anyway, I'm not saying you couldn't build a pretty good deck with
Ishtarri and Ilomba. You probably can. *I* probably won't, but I'm
sure somebody will and it'll probably win some games. I'm just saying
(after my first post in this thread where I totally missed the point
and said Ilomba sucked), that it takes some work to make it good.

Yes. You put it on someone. You go to long and shoot the Ilomba. They
take the same damage they would anyway (essentially), except they can't
stop it with fortitude (and conversely, I suspect you can't Taste the
blood lost either). And when they run out of blood, they burn instead of
going to torpor. So you hit the Ilomba for 3? The guy with the Ilomba
burns 3 blood or gets burned. You hit the Ilomba for 5? The guy with the
Ilomba burns 5 blood or gets burned.

I dunno--I mean, like, yeah, if you are building a deck around it, sure,
you'd need multi action or something. But if you are building a deck
that already has:
A) Reliable access to Laibon (i.e. at least 5 Laibon in the deck).
B) Reliable access to ranged combat (guns or flung junk).
and
C) Reliable ways to get into combat (rush or intercept).
I can't see how throwing an Ilomba in the deck could possibly be a bad
deal. Worst case scenario, you ditch it. Best case scenario, you put it
on Arika and blow her up as he hand jams on fortitude...

I dunno that it is worth a lot of effort to do that. But if you were
already Laibon and already getting in fights and already doing damage
from long range? Why would you *not* use it?

Yeah, I was working under the same assumption. It's a card that might
go in a ranged laibon combat deck but I'm not sure if I'd want to
spend an action on it without excessive multiacting.

All minion cards are controlled by the Methuselah who controls the
minion they're on, unless they say something like "You still control
this card."
Ilomba lacks any such text, so the default applies.

Yet still. "Hi-sterical". What could it possibly mean? If taken fully
at face value, it translates as "hysterical" which means "funny". Why
would saying something is "funny" need a smiley? And that it was
spelled "Hi-sterical" only changes emphasis in sylables. And for my
money, makes it *extra* hysterical. Which giving people Ilombas and
then killing them with You Can't Take It With You, in fact, is (i.e.
extra hysterical). Like, I'm really misunderstanding what you were
thinking I was saying that somehow needed a smiley to clarify. I
thought the idea was funny. So I said it was funny. I'm lost.
I mean, I realize that you are not being, like, critical or anything.
But I'm wondering what you read in that post and made you thing "Hmm.
This should have a smiley in it". It is kind of like if someone said
"Heh. That's funny." and then you pointed out that such a statement
should have a smiley in it. Which is non-sensical.

unwashed masses, who do not understand your sense of funny some of the
time, i wanted to ensure that they get it. Cos it was quite funny.
Pretty sure there have been some fairly lengthy threads over this
exact matter before

Now, to be clear here--I'm neither arguing with nor fighting with you
here. I'm honestly just confused.
Ok. So you posted something funny. I responded with, essentially,
"that's funny!". Why would anyone not understand that? Such that it
would require a smiley?

Well, sure. But, for example, that "We banned Left for Dead" post?
That could have used a smiley. As it was incredibly subtle humor. A
post saying "that's funny" about a post that was funny? I'm not seeing
why a smiley would be necessary.

Peter, serious is sometimes it's own worst enemy.
i made a funny.
You said it's funny
i made a funny in return.
Where's the confusion? ;)
See the smiley ( means it's a funny!)

But, but, but. Saying it is funny doesn't need a smiley. Unless the
comedy was in saying it needed a smiley when it didn't need a smiley.
But, uh, yeah, I got nothing.

Best use of Ilomba as I see, is to give em to your targets, then rush
Ilomba with ranged. Not too complicated.
