honestly, Appolonius is far from salvation. Perhaps a great ADV version with
a cool merge skill would ever make him usefull

Compare it to Brachah. Ok, lacks it's über and unique text (press and +1
bleed) and a really usefull title like primogen. But really, 5 more pool for
inf. pot and that text... Better get brachah and buy her the eye of hazimel.

Yeah, you go with that. And don't let your predator's mad giggling make
you think any less of your plan.

I'm so surprised that so many people aren't me ! How do you do it ? I know I
couldn't... 😉

Does it ?

What translator did you use ?

I'll have to put you through a few necro-experiments next time we meet, to
see exactly what you got inside you...

From the rule as presented on the website, no.

The Red List vampire didn't burn (they're "removed... instead"), so the
rule doesn't trigger.

Not only that... Pug Jackson can now become an anarch!!
The reason this is important isn't just because he has CEL and for and
can thus smack people around and prevent with Diversion... it's because
this vampire was laughably placed in the Anarch Gangs starter deck, in
fact he was even *on the front cover of the deck*, and yet he could not
become an anarch because of his primogen title!! Ridiculous.
Unless of course you get Pug to upgrade himself to Prince via a Praxis
Seizure, and then get one of your guys to play a Command of the Harpies
on him to make him lose his prince title... then he could have become
an anarch... hahaha.

Now there's an easy way to get many of the good titled vamps to become
anarchs... good stuff. So many good titled mid-cap vampires, like
Carna, can now be included in anarch decks. But I guess you better have
stealth somehow...
Lazverinus joining his !Ventrue anarch brothers, hehe...

Or you could play... Into the Fire?

Somehow I think Out of the Frying Pan/Into the Fire will be better for
decks that don't include princes/archbishops (not being blockable for
one). I like the card, but it's rare, and counting on getting it and
not being blocked seems rather foolish.

I could I last try (and realize what bad decks they are 😛 ):

Villon calling Free states rant using smoke and mirrors...

Volker, Rake and anvil joining the ranks of my brujah debate/anarchist
deck...

Blackwood, Ardan Lane or even etrius in a loose cannon deck

"" Yeah that's what I thought, thanks. Kinda neat really. A way of
saying "No trophies for you!" and making red list targets less
attractive, say like, your own vamp. ""

And is probably one reason why this card was sneaked in there in the
first place. Its good that the set is meta-ing itself like this, but
making the anti trophy angle of the thing require tha is silly. Lets
just hope there are cards for redlisted minions to use (though I
somewhat doubt it. Why give X specific cards if X is something that
gained you points on the vampire...).

I find it doubtfull that I would ever play the card myself, but it *is*
an option to remove the trophy part of the redlist disadvantage.

I was thinking the same, unless you plan to "borrow" your prey's
titled vampire to do it.
Temptation on Arika, she plays Anarch Secession at stealth...

a) For background flavour purposes (there are certainly things Red List
vampires can do to survive, contacts they have etc)

b) Because the disadvantage is really, really big.
