Which means that (using the example), Darby could use Agitas and/or
Erciyes to play cards out of Eric's Nergal deck (since Eric is Darby's
natural prey)? That could be troublesome or unbalanced, I'd think..

That should work out just fine.

I hope to be in the dark about the Nergal deck until our final round.
However, I would like to see spoilers of Advanced Alan Sovereign
and Advanced Helena so that I may constuct a deck, before our
Storyline event, that can utlilize their advanced and merged forms.

The new promo-only cards are not listed in the Nergal spoilage so
there's no reason to go there. We'll do some kind of preview of at
least the Advanced Alan and Advanced Helena soon.

I agree, that'd be cool. Even better would be to their text posted here on
the NG, so we don't have to risk Nergal spoilage to see them.

It would be really very cool if the winning clan(s) got some cool toy,
but also if the clan that most often gave itself up to be Nergal got a
minor toy - perhaps a Baali/infernal vampire in a later expansion with
decent cross-over disciplines/abilities (e.g. if the Ventrue win most,
you get a Baali who can do things like a Ventrue with minor Dominate, a
bit like Kemintiri or something), an Advanced version of a vampire from
that clan who's been infected by Nergal or similar.

Not so much a fantastic reward (like, say, Fiendish Tongue or Baltimore
Purge) but a bit of a nod in that direction.
