Aura of Invincibility

What's happening, Metuselahs?

This week, talking with a local vtes player, he told me to use the card "Aura of Invincibility" in my Daughters of Cacophony Baron deck, and I think I will test this deck on friday.

Aura of Invincibility
Type: Action Modifier
Cost: 1 blood
Only usable during a referendum, before any votes are cast.
If this referendum passes, put this card on the acting vampire and put a counter on this card. This vampire gets an additional vote for each counter on this card in referendums he or she calls. Add a counter to this card when a referendum called by this vampire passes. If a referendum called by this vampire fails, burn this card and send this vampire to torpor. A vampire can have only one Aura of Invincibility.

Why do I started liking this card?

My first 3 copies of AoI came from my first Ventrue (KoT) deck, and my first thought was "holy sh**, this is pure junk..." and I haven't use it even once since then.

This week, as I started before, I was told that it could be a good help in voting with the deck, because in the turn the DoC act, they can manage to have a good votelock (in this case, with also Baron tech, more votes, but in my deck at least no Embraces :p) thanks to cards like Bastille Opera House, Conductor, Madrigal and even Firebrand.

There is no pleasure without any sort of risk, and the risk of getting into torpor if the referendum fails isn't too bad, just have to use my daughter with the aura first, to gain the most votes of the Conductor, and keep on rollin'...

Thanks to BeAst to answer my questions here, if someone would ask himself the same ones:

Q1 -- if I use Aura of Invincibility and my vampire with it is blocked (referendum doesn't happen), does she go to torpor?
Q2 -- if I suffer a "delaying tactics" and the vamp casting votes has Aura of Invincibility, does she go to torpor?
Answer: No torpor, in first case, there is no referendum to fail, and in the second one the referendum is cancelled, so it never failed.

Become invincibles, Metuselahs!

PS: if I write another entry tomorrow spitting acid on the AoI, it means every time I tried to use it, my poor Daughter went into mordor...

OMGOSH LOOKALIKE!

What's happening, Metuselahs?

This post is pure junk, as I was answering a thread in the Spanish V:TES Community Forums, I came across the vampire Soldat, who resembles the 2D fighting game character Terry Bogard, the version that appears in the game "Garou: Mark of the Wolves"

Guys, I'm sick.....

Bleed until the very end, Metuselahs!!

Results of the Poll

What's happening, Metuselahs?

I completely forgot I had a poll running on the blog (lewl) so it's time to post and comment the results:

Would you approve fan-made sets in tournaments?

Yes 1 (5%)
Of course not 13 (72%)
I don't mind 4 (22%)

Overwhelmingly, we do NOT want fan-made sets in tournaments, I hope to get new sets in the future, and some people just don't mind to adulterate our dear card game (heheh)

I voted that I didn't want it, because I'm 120% sure that a new set would disbalance more the clans / disciplines, and the test of it wouldn't be enough, plus that if the game revives one day...what would people do with the new archetypes that came up from the fan sets? forget about them? asking to WW/CCP or whoever it takes the game to print some of that set and fan storyline?

Ah and btw, when I get some time, I'll make the report of the tournament I played yesterday in Nexus-7

See you later, Metuselahs!

Anarch Siren's

What's happening, Metuselahs?

I'm trying to build a deck more or less like this, inspired on a local player's deck that I only have seen in box, but never seen in action.

Why anarch baron daughters? Easy! I don't have The Embraces yet, so I'm trying to find another way to play them and have some fun, with the hope of getting at least 1 vp heh xD

A problem here is my absolute lack of Siren's Lure, but I'm not really worried (?) about that. So the idea is getting my Daughters into the ready region, make them anarch and barons, and start voting. A Benefit Performance of 3 or 4 can't be bad, it's better than nothing.

Groundfighting.... nice way to get rid of the grapples! :D then I can play the S:CE that I would have in hand.

About the crypt, I just don't know how to reduce it to 12-13, because in this period of non-gaming I am living at the moment, I can't test it :-/ what do you think?

Singing in the Elysium, Metuselahs!

I feel so impatient...

What's happening, Metuselahs?

You may remember one of my entries not so long ago about the re opening of the local game store... well it's open now but the V:TES game group we had on this downtown is imo really hard to get back to play weekly...

Some of them working, others studying, most also play the Game of Thrones LCG, and I'm starting to think that my decks will stay on the box until something happens or the game gets support again (heh...)

I'll try to post any crazy idea on the blog, or something, atm I'll try to get the Parity Shifts I always wanted for the Ventrue.

See you later, Metuselahs!
