And now in Lackey

What's happening, Metuselahs?

Even though I've started playing on JOL, also downloaded the LackeyCCG with the VTES plugin in this page:

http://www.lackeyccg.com/vtes/tutous.html

Playing here get so damm funny, we arrange in the forum, connect skype in a group conversation and let the bleed start.

Now its the beginning of my exams in the university, so no tournaments neigher "live" games until I'm done.

I have to point out that Valerius Maior Adv. DOESN'T DESERVE A PENTEX CROSSTABLED. Leave those goodies to Tariq or something....

This online gaming is perfect to test decks and cards that I do not own yet, but kind of miss the real games.

In the next entry, I'll post my current Anarch Janni deck. She is so cute & awesome heheheh

Plug in, Metuselahs!

Ishvalan on JOL3

What's happening, Metuselahs?

I've decided to join the Jyhad On-Line, in order to test my decks and also calm the addiction between games on my town to this cardboard hobby *heheh*
As you might suppose, my nickname is Ishvalan xD

Looking forward to playing with you, Metuselahs!

Infernal Pact and Infernal Familiar

What's happening, Metuselahs?

Today's entry is a tribute to this two cards. Playing !Tremere in several type of decks, can make us feel sort of creative when you have cards like this.

Plus to the posibilities that some cards grant such as Magic of the Smith searching for The Book of Going Forth by Night, The Textbook of Damnation, Amulet of Temporal Perception.... and also the vampires Ian Forestal and Nickolai, The Survivor; make the !Tre the perfect companions with other clans, and extend the posibilities of the clan.

First, the Infernal Pact has the disadvantage of being unique, but we can understand that fact, for just one pool that effect! Every !Tre deck I own or build always carries one, and if you block and you suspect the evil Ventrue of having several Kisses of Ra, par example?

Then, we have the Infernal Familiar, imo excessive blood cost for being only able to play the basic level of a discipline, and the other disadvantage is not that important if you place it in a midcap vampire and you don't rely that much in the out-of-clan discipline. But enough to include one if you find space in the deck for it.

Beyond your imagination, Metuselahs!

Results of the Poll

What's happening, Metuselahs?

Another poll comes to an end, and the question was...

Would you like the next set to be focused on the Sabbat?

- Yes!! Sabbat Owns!! 19(55%)
- Don't Care :) 9(26%)
- No, I'm a Camarilla/Independent freak.... 6(17%)

So, 34 Metuselahs became one with his soul, introduced themselves to their own deep feelings, and answered if they desired the next Sabbat set asap, and most of them wanted to!
My vote was also "Yes", because after KoT, I feel like Camarilla atm have the best crypt in general, and we also need some new Sabbat cards...

In the blink of the night, Metuselahs!

Govern the Gates, ECQ 2010 TWD

What's happening, Metuselahs?

Reading the newsgroup I came across a deck posted today, which is a DOM POT midcap vampires deck, that was led to the victory by Alfred Behrends in the German ECQ 2010 Ludwigshafen.
Topic in the NewsGroup

Deck Name : Govern the Gates
Author : Alf Behrends
Description : IMHO G4/5 has an insanely good weenie to midcap crypt for
POT and DOM/POT. Inspired by Tuomas Nyberg's TWD "Dr. Sutphens Dental
Care" I used the new crypt, replaced Computer Hackings with Govern and
some cards for my personal taste. Didn't get to play the deck before the
qualifier and really only wanted to qualify, so I'm very pleased with
it's perfomance. Never used the whole library so should probably go down
to 80 or even 75 cards.

It was kind of stupid the main reason I liked this deck before reading it all, it was becaouse I like Virginie, Prodigy.
But after the first burst of noobness, ranged combat with POT is killer, and the fact that we don't use star vampires in here, makes most of the crypt able to perform the duty of the deck: bruise and bleed. I just loved it, and might give it a try with some changes :)

I would stick there some Thrown Bikes hehehehheh eeevill

Jackie Chan also fights with ranged POT in some films..... until he gets melee of course xD

See you later, Metuselahs!
