Visuals of VtES Promo Cards 2009

Here are the visuals of the eight new VtES promo cards (including "Rogue" that eluded me in the past few weeks):

Left: Abactor -- nice card for those vampire immune to blood hunts.





Right: Fourth Cycle -- Another weenie (and imbued) hoser card, but the use is rather limited due the requirements of two Gehenna cards in play.

Left: Rogue -- way too situational for a deck; might be worth including into trick decks, e.g. one including "Undying Thirst".

Right: Marakech Codex -- this is a game winner card. I would consider this an auto-include for any wall deck, since they can defend it and will profit greatly from using it.
Left: Salt of Thoth -- interesting card for Tremere decks which want to protect their locations, but do not want to spend too many resources for doing so.


Right: Rubicon -- again, like "Rogue" too situational for general purpose use; almost all the time a dead card in your hand.

Left: Inceptor -- very interesting cards, which inspires players finding powerful and/or interesting three card combos.


Right: SchreckNET -- another very good card for the Nosferatu, especially for a Nosferatu Royalty deck, where passing votes is one of the cornerstones.

Looks like WW is granting us with good promos(better than the last set of 8 where the best card was a werewolf that allows you to pay 1 pool per master card, remember ^^)

Some very nice ideas, I am very eager to use them in tournament

Abactor is a great card, could use it with Muaziz, Ariadne or Samat Ramal-Ra, while Tariq has no use of it, he is cap 3 basic or Theo who needs a price or a justicar. I allready see a bloat deck based on Muaziz, she's the only one with bleed defense :)

And Fourth Cycle with Anthelios and Scourge of the Enochians is a very bad combo, cause it completely destroys weenie concept :( No more decks based on AUS, CEL, DOM, PRE,...

Not that I'm complaining :) All promos are super, but these two are the best.

Rogue looks good compared to Rubicon. I think that says more about Rubicon's craptasticallity than Rogue's goodness. Move over 6th Tradition, your corner just got more crowded!
