Q1: How (and when) did you begin your career as a VTES-player? Who introduced you to the game? Where did you play originally?
A1: I was playing Magic: the Gathering in Veszprém, where some of the players also played V:TES. I had heard about the game before and so I kept watching. One day I decided to join them and bought myself an Anarch Baron starter with 2-3 Anarch boosters.

Q2: Which of the Sets and Expansions to VTES is your favorite, and why is it your top choice?
A2: Keepers of Tradition is my top choice. It has awesome new cards, lovely vampires, amazing starters and only a low number of shitty reprints. Oh, and it has the new Brujah's in it, which totally changed my attitude toward V:TES and therefore also changed my play style and deck building...

Q3: What is your favorite deck to play, and why?
A3: Hard to say. I love decks that are versatile, generate pool and COMBAT. Maybe the most fun-to-play deck I have is Hardestadt eats the world. Favorite deck choice for tournaments are either Broken Brujah (Alastor) or mINIMAL sTYLE (Nana + weenie animalism).

Q4: If you could add something to the game, what would it be?
A4: A political action card for Sabbat that is similarly strong than Parity Shift or Alastor.

Q5: What do you do to help promote the game?
A5: I run the blog http://hunfragment.blogspot.com also I am NC of Hungary. I invented a type of tournament called the "Progeny" where only beginners are allowed to play. We organizers collect as many unused but usable cards from other players collections (like Wakes, Majesty, Governs, Blood Dolls, etc.) as we can and give them to the new players for free. Each table has a time limit of 2.5 hours and its own judge, who explains the rules questions when they show up in the game. Experienced players watch the games and comment on them after they end. Meanwhile Csaba Greguss took over the organizational part, since I moved away from Budapest.

Q6: What is your favorite deck style for casual play / tournament play?
A6: Since the release of KoT I play combat orientated decks only. I feel a real repulsion towards bleed bounce so I try to avoid them. Rarely I try a bleed or vote deck, but I don't enjoy the game with them anymore.

Q7: Is there a difference between your casual play and tournament play?
A7: Yes there is. There is a number of criteria I developed a tournament deck has to match. For casual deck any weird nonsense will do as long as I can rush vampires from time to time...
