Fall of London: Banu Haqim

This series will review the new cards in the upcoming Fall of London set. Today, we'll go over the new Banu Haqim.

Adisa

You could say I like small vampires with Obfuscate and it's true. They can get stuff done. Adisa can do a lot of interesting things. Let's take a look.

Disciplines

As a 3-cap, Adisa has only two inferior disciplines. In my opinion, she has the best two of the Banu Haqim's clan disciplines (at least at inferior). As I mentioned, she can get things done with o. It's always good to have little guys that can do stuff for you. Her c allows you to manage combat and with the change to Quickness, she can do some good work in combat. Concealed or Disguised weapons are the most logical choice for her.

Specials

We all know that the current meta is ally heavy (and Fall of London may exacerbate that). Adisa, hunter of Legionnaires. This is a special that will get a workout in most games, if you want it to. You don't even need much support. A .44 Magnum and Adisa might be the best 5 pool you can spend if you're ally hunting. She can also target weenies, putting a hurt on various breed archetypes. While it's better to prevent the progeny from coming into play, rushing them down is the next best thing.

That's a very solid package for a 3-cap vampire, so Adisa has a drawback as well. Not being able to unlock on a turn following a hunt really isn't that brutal of a drawback. You can work around it with Taste of Vitae in your combat package, a hunting ground, of just a simple Blood Doll. It does mean that Adisa will not be farming pool for you, but she's got more important things to do.

Overview

I really love Adisa for a variety of reasons. While you'll probably not want more than one copy in most decks that extra copy you get in the Fall of London set is going to find use in that other deck. In fact, I'll probably be looking to put 4+ copies of her in decks because I love those small o vampires.

While Adisa is nothing to build around, she's not your star. She'll find a spot in many decks. I wish all support vampires were this good.

Let's Build: V5 Toreador with Fortitude

It's our great pleasure to provide the final Toreador spoiler for the new Fifth Edition boxed set. Without further ado, let's meet Catalina Vega with artwork by Mitch Mueller.

The Future is Now: A V5-Only Preview, Part 2: Toreador

While this was the first game in the series, we have released the content second because we didn't have our cameras on and everyone wants to see our lovely faces, right? Game 1 was short-handed, no Gines...and Hugh cheats, but he runs BCP, so he can get away with it. The Deck I've played various versions of weenie Presence over the years. Group 1/2 has enough Dominate to work in some bounce, which makes that deck more survivable in the current meta. However, it's always been a deck that dies when outpaced and has zero stealth. I re-envisioned that archetype for the V5 format using only Toreador. This approach grants a bleed boost on Aire of Elation and allows the use of the Loup, the new Toreador stealth card. Unlike many super streamlined versions, this version is more of a toolbox, having options for many situations. Let's take a look at the deck and we'll talk about some card choices afterwards.

The Future is Now: A V5-Only Preview, Part 3: Tzimisce

With two games in, I wanted to try to play with the British Museum. I've been hot on British Museum since Fall of London debuted, but have not actually managed to get a tournament win with it yet. The Museum provides a lot of interesting options, but has a very limited card pool to work with in V5. Recently, Garou Rim Gazette had a nice article about the card , if you want to understand it more fully. The Deck With the design criteria in place, that is to use the British Museum in V5, what type of deck can we make? While we can build the Aggressive Corpse-Kevlar designs, the equipment that provides the most power is Living Manse. Living Manse provides +1 bleed and a pre-range combat ends effect. So, it helps with ousting and helps with keeping your vampires ready to do the ousting. Though the latter effect removes the Manse, the vampire can just grab another (and unlock). Let's dig into the deck and talk more about...
