I'm sure most of you know that in slightly less than two months, the European Championship will be held in the beautiful town of Paris, which also happens to be where I'm currently living and … well, I'm very excited about it. I figured that, since a lot of people started playing earlier this year... Continue Reading →
So we now know all about the contents of the 25th Anniversary pack. Let's see if the goods... Are good! PRECONSTRUCTED DECK: Crypt (12 cards) 2 Hartmut Stover 2 Ingrid Rossler 2 Mark Decker 4 Stanislava 2 Xaviar (Adv) No surprise here. I wish there was some Genevieve, at least one instead of the second... Continue Reading →
Hello and welcome to this new serie named « Tales from the TWDA ». In case you’re not familiar with the TWDA, well, first of all, this means you haven’t been reading our blog, which makes me sad. The TWDA (Tournament Winning Deck Archive), is the compilation of EVERY deck that won a competitive tournament... Continue Reading →
As we saw in part I, the Giovanni's signature discipline isn't that good (to say the least). So why are they so popular and successful ? Of course, Dominate helps.

A good amount of people were asking about which deck they should play if they wanted to complete a table of 5, with only 4 Black Chantry Sabbat starters. Being the kind human beings we are, we figured we would help you out! We wanted to... Continue Reading →
Welcome, welcome, to the last article about the new starters! It’s been a joy to write them together, and your feedback has been very positive about it, thanks a lot! For those of you who don’t know it yet, this last starter is basically a Palla Grande deck, using the 4/5 grouping. Palla Grande is... Continue Reading →
Welcome to our third in-depth article about the new starter decks, with this time the mighty (and frankly disgusting) Tzimisce ! Like most of the Tzimisce decks it's an intercept/fight deck, using Auspex & Animalism cards to block, and Animalism & Vicissitude to fight (and torporize). I) The Crypt CRYPT CARDS [12] 2 America Johnson... Continue Reading →
