Then add a ridiculous ammount of secure havens/sleep unseen/secret passage,
because being a red list = easy to rush vamp.
But it's nice. You can put in play basic, go anarch, and then merge to get
an Anarch pseudo-justicar.

That's all you want to do with the Setite "justicar?"
Call Protect Thine Own!
Have her name a few Archons and Alastors!
Make the Camarilla Fall, then block something with Second Tradition:
Domain!
Call Corruption's Purge? Well, maybe not.
Judgment: Camarilla Segregation? Again, not the wisest choice.
Legacy of Power!
I think the winner is going to have to be Parity Shift.
Looks like quite a good vampire. I wonder if the Red List rule will make
her difficult or impossible to play.

It makes her very very rushable... Pack in those SCE and maneuver's
honey. You're in for a bumpy ride.
Her non-merged advanced version is kinda' weak... 11.5 points for a ten
cap with red list? Ouch...

That's 12 points not 11.5. 10 points worth of disciplines and +1
stealth is worth 2 points. I agree that non-merged Advanced is kinda
weak. Compare to Spider Killer who is also a 10-cap with 10 points of
disciplines and +1 stealth. Kemintiri Advanced however gets Red Listed.
So let's hope that there's a bright side to being Red List instead of
it just being a giant target on your forehead (and making you a munchy
target when you're in torpor).
But really, it's her Merged special that is outstanding. Watch out!
High Stakes here we come! ;)
The downside is that a Ventrue rush deck will make Merged Kemintiri a
very very sad panda. Hrothulf or Arika Assault Rifle will have a field
day. First rush her with the Red List ability, Freak Drive, and then
rush her with the drawback from her basic ability. :'(

On the positive side, if you have some good defensive plan, it makes it
more likely that those won't be wasted slots.
Probably the best way to do it is bring up the base version, play Secure
Haven and then merge. As long as the Haven doesn't go away you should be
safe (barring an intercept/Amaranth deck, I guess).

I thought +1 stealth was a 2 point ability. Anyway, she's obviously
designed to be merged. The original Kemintiri is pretty crappy as well.

using the advanced vamps we've seen before now, since you'll need fewer
copies of each version of her in your crypt. She or another of your FoS
can play Summon the Serpent to retrieve whichever version you're
missing. With an Info Highway in play, you can move the 1 blood from
StS to your pool and use it to pay to merge her in the same turn.
That's still a high cost in actions, transfers and blood, of course,
but it's better than fishing for half the game.
I'd suppose most decks that want to use merged Kementiri would use
several copies of her ADV version and just one of her base, since +1
stealth is so useful.

+1 stealth on all actions is worth at least 2; compare her to
Spider-Killer or Cyscek. (I'd say Aristotle is undercosted.)
Personally, I'm drooling over a SER minion with +1 stealth. Too bad
that using Temptation to untap her frequently would leave her low on
blood and vulnerable to Red List rushes.
However, Red List might not be a net disadvantage for decks built
around Red List minions. What if there are powerful Red List only cards
not unlike the cards for Anarchs and Black Hand vampires? We'll have to
see the rest of the set before we can judge.

Play Fall of the Camarilla, THEN call PTO in a Closed Session. No vamps
will be able to vote. Knock enough counters off Wormwood and nobody
will be safe.

If ever there was a vampire to make great use out of Sleep Unseen,
Kemintiri's it. Without superior AUS, no basic-flaw rush, no Red List
rush, no nothing. Hrothulf or Arika Assualt Rifle will sit there unable
to do a stinkin thing, as will a whole lot of common combat decks.
You're going to have to rush her FAST, before she gets a chance to act.
(Though Tariq still gets to eat her like popcorn.)

Card text. She can play cards that require a justicar.
Just because every justicar's title is inert while there is
no Camarilla doesn't mean that Second Tradition no longer
requires a justicar (or prince).

hang on how can she do that? Once you play Fall of the Camarilla,

get

Heck, you could manage that in a single master phase if you get a good
draw - Galaric's followed by Gift of Experience. Just don't forget to
go Anarch one way or another BEFORE you merge her. Otherwise you're
kind of stuck.

Well, why not try to build a THA - SER - Anathema based deck ?
I believe that it will be very fun to play...
with PRE and Ventrue Headquarters, it shouldn't be difficult
to vote them.
Additionaly, use Temptations to tempt rushers and votes

Read her special. It doesn't allow you (the Methusaleh) to play Ventrue
cards (compare to Tatiana's special). Thus you'll need an actual
Ventrue to play Ventrue Headquarters (Merged Kemintiri just won't do).
In terms of Ventrue cards, Kemintiri's ability is good for Elder
Kindred Network, High Stakes, and Political Ally. That's it.

Yeah, you are right. At first when i read the special i noticed that
it was different than Tatiana's and it didn't allow you to play cards
that require Ventrue. But at the time i was writing my post i was
careless and wrongly mentioned Ventrue Headquarters.
so, no problem reading the special, it was just me the careless :)

? Now I guess I'm not reading it right, because it looks like she can to
me:
This;
"She can play cards that require Camarilla, Ventrue, and/or a
justicar title."
is equal to this;
"She can play cards that require Camarilla. She can play cards that require
Ventrue. She can play cards that require a justicar title."
Which is different from Tatiana's special, but probably only for space
considerations. No?

does the vote provided by the political action count as being cast by

Not in the case of a marked red list

vamp#1 rushes. You burn 2 blood to prevent, ok
Vamp#2rushes. You burn 2 blood, ok
vamp#3 rushes...
How long do you think you'll last until beaten to torpor????
I think the best way is combining secure haven, a generous amount of sleep

Magic of the Smith for a Hand of Conrad and stack on Typhonic Beasts
when anyone rushes you :) (and taste back the blood you spend - or have
a Path of Typhon to make them free - or both).
Also lets her play Iron Glare at both levels.

Heh. Too bad she can't draw out the beast. I guess

Alas, Kementiri cannot be an Alastor without first Clan Impersonating,
Into the Fire + Out of the Frying Pan, or Invitation Accepted.

Or merging and then calling it herself (as a Camarilla justicar).

Well, she can *call* it then, but she can't *be* an Alastor (named by
the vote card) while she's still "actually" an Independent vampire.
Unless you're counting that as part of "playing cards that require
Camarilla"?

Mmmm? Is she actually treated as a Ventrue/Camarilla/Justicar while
using cards that require it (similar to allies playing cards "as a
vampire")?
Can she call Alastor/Archon/Camarilla Exemplary/etc and name herself?
Tangentially, what happens if she calls a Praxis Seizure (successfully)?
Previously, I would've thought this would lead to her gaining the
title of Prince, losing her 3 votes, and then losing the Prince title
because she was of the wrong sect. But now I'm not sure...

You are correct, the Praxis is called, she gains the title, and then
ceases to be under an effect treating her as Camarilla, losing the title.

Correct. Any card a minion plays "as" something (as a vampire, as
a justicar, as an ally, as a Sabbat, etc.) treats that minion
as that thing (in as far as being played is involved -- like the
referendum portion of playing a political action card is).

Her Prince title would replace the other title and would then go inert
until she changes sects to Camarilla, yes.
