Wow. So you pulled this off... pretty often?<p>You should be grateful.
Think of how many cards you save on? No more pressing! More Fortitude!
Whee! Gritty and mean like the Samedi always wanted!

This is supposed to be an incentive to play with Wraiths... for now
it's too much 'corner case'. Maybe it fits well in an Ambrosius/Talbot
Chainsaw deck. It's a pity Felix being Unique...

> [NEC] 1 aggravated damage

This is interesting but i believe only to play in a surprise basis. It
isn't Ranged, it isn't Strength damage and requires superior
Necromancy.

Even so, i'm certain that a couple of these cards will feet well in any
Giovanni Power Bleed or Shambling Hordes deck... ;-)

Samedi and Tortured Confession.

more Wraiths?

Doubtful, none of the new titles have names like

Xenon(Wraith)

although there is still some hope.

Torment's damage is ranged.

Exactly, I was equipping with a Hawg to press to second round and then
manuevering with Ruins of Villers Abbey, Belgium after I had spent 2 blood
on the first round.to get two manuevers.

Plenty of NEC vampires also have Auspex (like Harbingers or Nagaraja or
certain Giovanni etc); I can see Breath being used agressively in
combination with Aura Reading and other 'let's see your hand before I
choose my strike' methods. (Le Dinh Tho!)

Possibly even some fun with Primal Instincts in an AUS/NEC deck..

Harbingers can also get Masquers and can use this card for additional
stealth when doing so, if needed. I doubt this is going to be winning all
the championships this year, but it's not a terrible option. If you're
playing intercept, you're expecting combat and superior Breath (which all
the HoS can play) becomes useful, especially when you're picking your
strike second.

Block with your Masquer. Strike superior Breath of Thanatos + Rotschreck.
It's the new Tzimisce!

The real advantage I see there is that most decks that rely on intercept
permanents do most of their equipping and recruiting at +1 stealth so
another intercept deck (or even an early Sport Bike or media outlet) can
make life difficult. Breath would be useful to the Harbingers if they
need extra stealth and still useful if they don't.

Or you could do Giovanni intercept with the Path of Bone and Tower of
London. I'm not actually a big fan of intercept strategies but that's
what Breath of Thanatos seems to lend itself to IMO. Don't forget your
Divine Sign!

Ambrosius is very angry that you forgot about him! (He is a wraith who
came out in Ancient Hearts BTW). Come to think of it, the Death Pact
wraith is pretty pissed off too! 😉

Renegade Garou was the first werewolf ally, introduced before the ally
types mattered.

I suspect some of them (Goblin, Hunter) are still put in parenthesis to
distinguish them somewhat from others of their type, i.e. (Hunter) is a
subtype of Mortal, (Goblin) is a subtype of changeling, etc.

So far, they don't matter, but if they do something with it in the
future, it saves WW from needing to reprint or issue errata to those
cards, and makes it very obvious.

All the existing Wraiths (save Spiritual Protector) came out during Final
Nights, when Ally/Retainer Type was just introduced. It made sense to put
(Wraith) in the title. Since then, only Mylan Horseed (Goblin),
Neighborhood Watch Commander (Hunter), and Carlton Van Wyk (Hunter) have
the paranthetical usage, probably put in so that White Wolf can more
easily choose to do weird Kith/Imbued stuff in later sets.

.....wait a minute. Have I missed Crusade: Xian's House '05 already?

Damn, and I wanted to get some money down on the pet cat to defend it's
title with the turbo Wolf Valentine deck too.

Then why don't High Top, Cry Wolf, and Ossian have (Werewolf) in their
title? Why don't all the new Mortals/Ghouls/Dhampirs/etc. have their type
in their title, also? Mylan's and the Hunters paranthetical text are
currently *absent* from any current game effect. This implies that
(Wraith) was there in Final Nights solely to call attention to the *new*
Ally-Type rule. Since that rule is no longer new, there's no need to
announce the type of a new Ally/Retainer.

LOL. I wonder why so many people think I might be interested in things
necromantic... ;-)

Funny, when I saw the name in the list I hoped it was Nec, and somewhat
thought it could have been a nice Than with a Nec outferior...

Ok. I guess we'll talk about this card again soon, in the next Newlsetters
and on the Necrosite (I promise to try to update it with all K:MW cards).

First impressions :

inf : as Tom said, will be much better if we get more intersting wraith
allies in K:MW. As such, nice but cornercase, for reasons linked to the sup
version.

sup : a Nec combat card, this is nice. Not usable under Grapple is less
nice, but I guess they didn't want to make it as lethal as Pro ? It wouldn't
be, mind you, because it does aggravs in sup. As it is, a Pot deck will
seldom use it, so it's a "surprise" in other decks ; particularly For / Nec,
so of course I'm thinking Harbingers (Fast Reaction if the Goblyn is here
for untap...). The Samedi don't really need this, and too few have NEC.

If it is best for HoS, the inferior is, as of now disappointing : they can
only recruit Puppeteers, and these need some serious help to become useful.

BTW, this and my recent trys at Samedi fight make me think that an
alternative to Grapple / Psyche [FR / HL] allowing to fight S:CE and dodges
under another discipline (yes, I know, the event... let's be serious
please). For could be an option. Or Obf, but HL looks like the logical
thing...

Okay, whatever. It can be useful sometimes, and it is a different Nec card.
I'm not overjoyed, but it is nice. Let's see the rest at the pre-release...

But slim, you're right.

Maybe a card giving more interest to existing puppeteers (as the one I
suggested once, maybe) ?

Aus / Nec intercept / Rötbeurk ? Why not... Will need some maneuvers,
though.

Well, anyway, a card with various possibilities is always nice, and that's
what Nec is about !

Could be. But it looks more to me like : WW wants to be clear about things,
and that we know what cards can be used by or for a hunter, wraith, mortal,
werewolf etc.

But then again, who would be? Poor sod...


So, is there another discipline blessed with *2* cards along the lines
of Death pact and Eyes of the Dead? Serpentis has Mummify, but
everything else isn't quite *this* bad I think...
