Harrod vs. Josef von Bauren

With the VtES expansion "Keepers of Tradition" and the emergence of the new Inner Circle members the obvious question has to asked: Which is the better Nosferatu Inner Circle? So watch in awe the eternal struggle for supremacy between "Harrod" and "Josef von Bauren":

VS.

• In-Clan Disciplines: OK, both have exactly same in-clan disciplines, but if you use Ultra-Pro card protectors with the holographic dot in the lower left corner, you cannot see Harrod's superior "Potence" anymore.
  Winner: Josef.


• Out-Clan Disciplines: Harrod fits into a lot of decks, he shares all in-clan disciplines with both the Toreador and Brujah, all the while Josef is only practically usable in a Caitiff deck. The only good thing, both choose the path of creativity by abstaining from the so-called power disciplines like Fortitude, Dominate and (superior) Auspex.
  Winner: Harrod.


• Capacity: A clear win for Josef. He has less disciplines than Harrod and therefore you can put more Master: Discipline cards on him.
  Winner: Josef.


• Grouping: Only Harrod can be in the same (legal) crypt with "Frederick the Weak", and they both share inferior Presence. A winning team Josef cannot join.
  Winner: Harrod.


• Special Ability: Josef's special ability allows him to discard a card at random from your opponent's hand. How much better is Harrod's special ability! He can pick the crypt card he can look at. Easy "Brainwash" targets!
  Winner: Harrod.


• Permanent Bonuses: Josef has +1 stealth and +1 bleed. Sounds good for a split second, but as soon as "Mary Ann Blaire" hits the table, Josef is stuck with bleeding for 0 (at +1 stealth). Nice work.
  Winner: Harrod.


• Power Combos: Big cap vampires need power combos, and Harrod's a shining example for playing these combos. For example, when Harrod is in combat, he can counter an "Immortal Grapple" with "Charismatic Aura", so he has dibs on playing "Immortal Grapple" himself. Where's the Potence & Dementation multi-discipline card Josef can play?
  Winner: Harrod.


• Artwork: Look at those ghastly hands on Harrod, and you know a winner. Josef's redish/blueish background makes him look like he's from a Magic (a.k.a. the other game) expansion.
  Winner: Harrod.

Winner: When you compare the points both vampires have scored, you see that Harrod has six points, while Josef has two points. So the clear wi..loser is Clan Nosferatu.
