41 Ravnos

Counting just 13 major clans. Interesting.

I was indeed expecting Ravnos to be dead last of the major clan.

On the other hand, seeing Kyaside and Baali behind Ravnos and Assamite does surprise me Instead, the far maligned Gangrel antitribu are a bit above Ravnos and twice as much present than !Brujah.

Then again, it's a hasty study, since I didn't try to see what thoses decks encompasse ; also !Brujah don't have a deck-defining vampire like Enkidu.

On the same hasty level of analysis, clans with a camarilla and a sabbat version with the same discipline (i.e. not the !gangrel and !ventrue that have significantly different discipline payload) almost alway have the camarila version much more present ; my opinion would tie this to three advantages :
* 2nd Tradition, which mean any clan with Prince can have a pretty though defense. The !Brujah are particulary noteworthy on that (even if the Eurobrujah with also help)
* Parity shift, which is pretty much unrivaled as far as votes go*
* 11-caps with 4 votes and +2 bleed
