OFFICIAL VEKN NOSFERATU ANTITRIBU NEWSLETTER VOL 5
Matt Latham
This newsletter is not going to be packed with strategy. It will not have a
decklist. It will not involve use of a single card to aid your decks. This
newsletter is going to bring to light something that is going unnoticed by
the powers that be, and while I cannot expect them to do anything about it
(because as I will prove its not their fault), I can hope that the
playtesters of Camarilla will keep this article in mind.
There hasn't been any VTES content of any substance for a long time for the
Nosferatu Antitribu.
Final Nights was completely devoid of useful Nosferatu cards. Lets look at
what they got in their Clan Disciplines.
OBFUSCATE:
Blackmail
Action
(D) Tap a ready vampire
(D) Put this card on a ready vampire. The vampire with this card cannot
block this acting vampire. He or she may burn this card by burning 2 blood
during his or her untap phase.
The inferior of this card is ok. Sure, both Jar the Soul and Mind Numb are
inherently better, but this is in a discipline where the stealth to get
this action through resides, but for the Nosferatu who lack the fortitude to
bleed-while-tapped or untap, or the dominate/presence to bleed modify a
bleed now that you could get passed a tapped blocker, why not just replace
this card with more stealth and just get past it? The Superior is a
costless version of Incriminating Videotape, and who plays with that? This
card, while not worthless, is pretty weak for the Nosferatu.
POTENCE:
Relentless Pursuit
Combat
Blood cost: 1
TEXT:
Press
Press, and if another round of combat starts, your hand size is two cards
larger for the remainder of combat.
The Nosferatu Antitribu are not known for needing multi-round combat, and
even if they did they have the host of Obfuscate presses or Mighty Grapple,
which are all free. Not worthless, but not great either.
ANIMALISM:
Crimson Fury
Reaction/combat
1 blood
Text
This card can be played as a reaction card or a combat card. Only usable
when this vampire is being diablerized. Usable by a tapped vampire. Usable
by a vampire in torpor
The diablrie is canceled and the diablerist burns 1 blood.
Burn both the diablerist and this vampire. (The diablrie is still considered
successful.)
This is junk. Half the time you are in torpor you have no blood, so the card
is useless. The other half of the time all you are doing is guaranteeing
that the Blood Hunt will be successful, which it generally will anyway.
That's it. That's what the Nosferatu got from Final Nights. The Nosferatu
Antitribu got a great Vampire, but that's what they were known for anyway.
good Vampires with lots of Superior disciplines. That's their only strength
and they got even stronger with the terribly drawn but well powered and
disciplined Christianus Lionel.
Lets look at Bloodlines. Here are the clans previewed thus far.
Nagaraja aus dom nec
Samedi FOR nec obf thn
Harbingers FOR aus nec
Daughters FOR mel pre
Arihmanes ani pre spi
Gargoyles FOR pot vis
Kiaysid dom myt obt
Salubri FOR aus obe
Trujah pot pre tem
Blood Borthers FOR pot san
One clan with Obfuscate. One clan with Animalism. Three clans with Potence.
No clan sharing two clan disciplines with Nosferatu.
In contrast, the strong get stronger. Malks get Naga with AUS/DOM. Ventrue
get Daughters with PRE/FOR. Lasombra get Kiaysid with OBF/DOM. Brujah get
True Brujah with PRE/POT. Settites get Baali with OBF/PRE.
Clans that we already saw at every tournament in record numbers get support.
Clans like Ravnos and Nosferatu, who rarely get played at tournaments get
absolutely no help.
Now its not the designers fault. In tying themselves to the White Wolf
Mythos they are stuck with their Bloodlines. As someone who wants to play
the Nosferatu as something other than weenie potence rush, I am just
continually disappointed by the clan's overall competitive un-playability.
When people ask about Nosferatu in decks, what do you hear? Weenie potence
rush and the mythical (re: never placed reliably in a tournament) Nosferatu
voter. The Nosferatu are a clan in desperate need of support and it sure
doesn't look like Bloodlines is going to answer that need.
With this in mind, the Nosferatu Antitribu newsletter is going Bi-Monthly.
I should still be able to write up some beginner strategies with the
Nosferatu every other month, and hope that when Bloodlines comes out and
Camarilla gets playtested someone will realize that a clan has been left
behind the curve and some cards are introduced to help them out.
Expect the next few newsletters to have a lot of Ahrimanes content...

shotguns, traps, manuvers, presses, carrion crows, sewer lids, Throw

gets 2 manuvers instead of setting range each round which is well
insainly powerful heard they might change his speciallity that might

This is a potentially great card! First off, it is a no stealth
action. This means you are asking someone to try and block it. Second,
it is an action requiring Obfuscate... that ISN'T about stealth or
bleed! This is a nice change. What this gives you is a potentially
useful action to irritate the hell out of your prey. Use weenies, clog
him up so he can't block, and computer hack. Use weenies with pot /
obf with a few to tooling them to POT/OBF and you have a great little
deck.
The reason nobody plays with Incriminating Video Tape is the same
reason why few people play with Blood Bond - simply because it is
costly and takes time to get going. However, Blackmail has zero cost,
and the potential of being blocked. This is a good thing, allowing you
to thump other vampires. Add Gang Tactics into the mix and you get a
guaranteed grapplefest. Blackmail has potential.

OK, the nossie antis aren't great at multi round. However, they should
be - Carrion Crows, Song of Serenity, Conquer the Beast, Grapple, Torn
Signpost, all of these are good for the whole of combat. So extra
presses are surely a good thing (tm), especially since the other
potence press is only to continue combat - no good for fighting off
that trap the war ghoul has just used...
If you press with the RP, you also get an extra hand cycling dynamic
previously lost to a potence deck unless you have a Dreams in play. I
found recently that unless you play cel / pot you can end up with a
very clogged hand very quickly. With Cel you get additional strikes,
easy presses, and Infernal Pursuit to cycle your hand. Potence has a
lot less. Extra cards are a good thing (tm) since it has been proved
that the most successful player is the one who sees the most cards.

Rubbish. There are lots of occasions where you will end up in torpor
with blood on you, or at least with a blood doll on you. This can save
your ass until you can do something about getting a vampire out, or
burn in a petty revenge scenario.
Most people wouldn't even attempt diablerie if they didn't have the
voting dynamic on their side, either by cutting a deal or by having
superiority. This screws over this sort of cautious muncher, and also
the huge spate of "bloodhunt free" vampires (there are now 4 Muzaziz,
Theo Bell, Tariq, and that setite). It can also be played by a tapped
vampire, and it is also usable if someone does the Disarm / Anathama
combo. A great card, but just a little hard to use in everyday play.

Bloody hell, no pleasing some people! The Gangrel got three cards and
one vampire too. One very expensive, super rare combat card (Mythic
Form), one very expensive and unnecessary damage prevention card (King
of the Mountain), and Crimson Fury. Ramona is no way near as cool as
Christianus - her special sucks and she is the least powerful
signiture character by a mile. The best thing for the gangrel in final
nights was Haakon - a !Gangrel vampire.
So count your luckies that you got a spread of interesting cards to
implement in the Jyhad - one new unprecidented action, one new combat
utility card, and one intruiging reaction card.

Well... there are a lot of Nosferatu with both Obfuscate and Fortitude
(Chester, Nikolaus, Selma, Marty, Sheldon and Lucretia). Blackmail could
synergize nicely with Force of Will. Blackmail to tap your prey's vampire
then untap and bleed at +2 (with OBF stealth if needed).
Throw in a few OBF weenies to play Blackmails/Psychic Veils or rescue your
torpored vampires. Humanitas and Catacombs would be nice here.
Most of the above Nossies also have votes... lots of possibilities there.
Additionally, this combo will presumably have a lot more vampires available
with the new set. The Baali posted today has 'OBF for' for example. Egottha
has 'obf FOR' (better for this combo). The Samedi have OBF and FOR as clan
disciplines. Six other new bloodlines have inherent FOR and a few of them
must have OBF here and there.

Merely as a clarification, Force of Will doesn't untap you. (It did in
the original card text.)
You just bleed, starting from a tapped state.
(I can't recall the reason for this. I'm assuming it had something to
do with "do not tap" vs "untap" type effects.)

If an action untaps you, then (if you aren't blocked) you end up untapped.
Force of Will was not intended to untap tha vampire. The old RT tried to
get around this by breaking FoW into two actions - one to untap and the
second to bleed. That was cumbersome, so we end up with the current state.
For an action that actually untaps you, see Patronage.

Vote deck (OK, it had Suheilah in there and watsername, the 2cap
Ventrue)and I took another version to the EC where I had 2 games with
a VERY bad draw (2nd game I only dreq 2 3th Traditions out of a
possible 10 (75card deck), 3th I drew none at all (another thanks to
Pierre for cutting my deck ;-))
Princes with OBF, Pot and for that's not too hard to make deck out of,

I am not comparing them to the Gangrel. I'm comparing them to the clans that
are going to get a HUGE boost from Bloodlines (ie all the clans I listed
that everyone seems to be ignoring). The Nosferatu need some help to make
them as tourney viable as most other clans, and by the clans introduced so
far on the sight they are going to get slighted. Again.
Find me a clan that is as underrepresented Tourney wide as the Nosferatu.
Hell, without weenie potence we'd be the most underrepresented clan around.
Period. And I just wish it were not so.

Looking at the few advantages that allow for different deck-types for the
Anti-Nos you have:
COURIER: Which is really only decent in a deck focused on bringing out
the Couriers en mass..
USING THE ADVANTAGE: Which is super-corner case, maybe with some pairing
with the Malkavians & Madness Network. Too much trouble to use.
None of the Anti-Nos vampires really stand out as being distinct.
Sure, Beast is a monster rush god. And fits into absolutely ANY
potence rush deck. Yong-Sun is pretty interesting, but needs
to be combined with out of clan vampires to make his special usefull.
>Find me a clan that is as underrepresented Tourney wide as the Nosferatu.
Pander are never played as a clan deck, the only downside of the errata
to Legacy of Pander. Sure, Pander get included in a ton of decks, but
only as discipline filler..
>Hell, without weenie potence we'd be the most underrepresented clan around.
>Period. And I just wish it were not so.
Hmmm.. It's a game design problem I'm thinking.
The (original) game designers intended for variance in deck building,
but with each new expansion I'm thinking variation has gone way
beyond Jyhad's initial design.
Here's what you're not seeing played anymore (with some limited exceptions):
Contestation
Decks based primarily on clan
Clan Hosers (Nosferatu Putresence, etc..)
It's been mentioned that something like Vanguard (from Magic:TG)
could assist crypt design. Sounded good to me at the time.
Maybe if more cards forced you to take a harder look at who you
put into play using [Judgement: Camarilla Segregation]
for example.
Taking it to an extreme, change the traditions so that they
cannot be played if you control non-camarilla vampires.
Not that this would happen, but you can really grasp the
need to change Crypts in this case.
The jist of what I'm saying is that there should be a greater
empasis on new cards to promote playing in-clan,
rather than hordes based on discipline alone.
At that point maybe there would be something to help distinguish
the Anti-Nos (and others) from their Camarilla contemporaries.

I liked the idea of Methuselah cards too, has some potential.

I'll admit that I tend to build decks based on discipline combos but when I
look at discipline combos, in order to get the best "bang-for-buck" as it
were, I look to see what clan has those disciplines as in-clan disciplines.
A side-effect of this is that many of my decks mostly consists of one clan.
Occasionally I'll build a deck based on a particular clan for various
reasons. Unfortunately some clans ( esp !Gangrel ) are worse off than
others when it comes to budget-sized vampires with the appropriate in-clan
discipline(s) at the desired level(s). The Sabbat have a particularly hard
time because they have a lot fewer vampires to chose from.
A few cards that benefit you more based on the number of members of a clan
you control wouldn't go astray though.

If you pick up a booster box of Jyhad with the intent of building mono-
discipline decks, you'll find that 75%-85% of your Crypt is of a singular
clan. Limited creativity came from combining unlikely discipline
combos (like Obfuscate & Presence), which was pretty tough
to do until later expansions.
So in this time frame where Vote decks were primarily Ventrue,
seeing Vampire contestations were fairly common.
This pretty well held true up until the release of "The Sabbat" set where
many of the sabbat clans discipline spreads are very close to
their Camarilla counterparts.
At this point is when you really start to see deck design shift away
from clan specific to mono discipline designs. Currently The
Lasombra has tournament winning decks listed by clan, IF the
crypt contains 5 vampires of a given clan.
That being a reflection of the shift.

These examples above were supposed to highlight some game strategies
which fell by the wayside primarily due to the shift in deck building.

I too work out my decks based on discipline first, then look to see
if focusing it within a specific clan gives it any edge over discipline
efficiency. The Anti-Gangrel aren't in rough shape, though I do
tend to build decks using multiple copies of 1-2 Vamps.
The only disadvantage The Sabbat have over Camarilla is the
strength of The Traditions. This might be evened out some if
more Sabbat clan cards were to encourage straight-clan contruction.

Ah yes, I get you, many of the anti clans having the same/very similar
discipline set as their cammie brethern mean that they often get included in
what would have otherwise been a single clan deck.
The Sabbat have some pretty powerful cards themselves, the Hungry Coyote
being a lot better than Inbase but I think that the Sabbat cards require a
bit more skill to use as effectively as the Traditions, which as real
no-brainers.

Way I see it, never hurts to put forth CONSTRUCTIVE criticism as long
as everyone plays nice. I wouldn't be as vocal here if I didn't have concerns
about where the game is going.
As you know (Matt), we have an ongoing Sunday game which is often
the only chance I get to see a number of my friends anymore.
If the Vampire CCG started to really suck, I'm not sure if our little
group would still get together or not.
Hopefully The Lasombra doesn't mind my occasional Editorial as
long as my newsletter (Caitiff) keeps things positive.
