Freedom from the elders!
Anarchs!
Join the revolution!

The elders of the Camarilla and the Sabbat lord over the younger vampires of their sects, abusing the power granted them by their station. While the elders indulge in their power and turn a blind eye to the signs of the coming Gehenna, the Gangrel and the anarchs strive to create a better kindred society and to avert the rise of the ancient vampires who would bathe the world in blood and fire.
bar_expansion

bar_promo Xaviar is available in Scrye #58, and he'll appear in the Anarchs expansion (the promo version doesn't have the faded attribute bar that the retail version has). The official release date for the card is Mar 7, 2003. That means he became legal for tournament play on April 6, 2003.

Disciplines: icondisauspex icondisfortitude icondisvaleren
Sect: Sabbat
Nickname: Furies
  Background  
While the mainstream Salubri suffer reputations as soul-stealers and diablerists, the Salubri antitribu have put the nigh-incomprehensible practices of that bloodline behind them. With a rage borne of centuries of persecution, the Salubri antitribu have developed a consuming hatred of the Camarilla and joined forces with the Sabbat to bring about its destruction.

icondisvaleren According to the Salubri antitribu, Valeren is a forgotten Discipline unearthed in their research into their progenitor's history. Valeren is a Discipline of righteous wrath, originally developed by the demon-slayers and questing knights of the Salubri from nights long past. It shares a bit in common with the Obeah Discipline upheld by the Salubri, but it quickly diverges into its own focus and ideology.

-- Guide to the Sabbat
  V:TES Notes  
The Salubri antitribu cards mix well with the same clans that the mainstream Salubri do. Since they are not scarce and are generally younger than their mainstream couterparts, the Salubri antitribu are capable of being played in a single-clan deck, although they would have difficulty holding their own in such a format.

Adonai
Salubri antitribu. 7 capacity. for AUS VAL
Sabbat: Adonai can enter combat with a ready Camarilla vampire controlled by another Methuselah as a (D) action. He gets +1 strength when in combat with a Tremere. +1 bleed.
Adonai was the first Salubri to join the Sabbat, and he is the oldest Salubri antitribu in the set. His special abilities reflect the forces that inspired the antitribu line in the first place.

     
Disciplines: icondisobfuscate icondispresence icondisdaimoinon
Sect: Independent
Nickname: Demons
  Background  
There are those whom even Caine's monsters do not name lightly.
The first Baali is rumored to have forged an unholy pact with those who dwelt in the shadow outside the periphery of this world. In doing so, the devil-child took on something of the place Beyond, becoming something more - and less - than human.
The Baali are explorers, first and foremost - students of the unknown, the unknowable, the unspeakable. They toil for the erosion and eventual destruction of this world, to make way for Those Who Wait Beyond.

icondisdaimoinon Daimoinon: These are the black arts torn whole and beating from the socerer-kings of ancient cultures and prehistoric civilizations, incoherent memories passed from tome to tongue, harkening to times of insensate oblivion.

-- Vampire Storytellers Handbook
  V:TES Notes  
The Baali cards mix well with the Followers of Set. Since the Baali vampires are all identified as "infernal" (see note to the right), they are expensive to play in a single-clan crypt (with duplicates, since their numbers are so few), but it could be done.

New Term:
Infernal

 Some minions are marked as "infernal." During his or her untap phase, a Methuselah who controls an infernal minion burns one pool or taps that infernal minion.

An infernal minion is one that has sold part of his soul to a demon (or demons). As such, the "control" his controller has over him is tainted by the control the demon has. This struggle for control is handled similar to contesting.

Q: If an infernal minion remains tapped during my untap phase (because of an effect like Mind Numb), do I have to pay a pool?
A: No. You can still elect to tap him (redundantly). Tapping is not a cost to avoid the pool loss. Paying a pool is the cost to avoid tapping the minion.

Giotto Verducci
Baali. 7 capacity
for pot pre DAI OBF
Independent: During any other Methuselah's discard phase, you may discard a card from your hand (and draw a new one). Vampires must burn a blood to attempt to block Giotto. Infernal.
Giotto increases your discard capability, which can be very useful when mixing clans or playing with four or five different disciplines in your library. Like most special abilities, his can be used even when he is tapped (in case you find yourself without enough pool to keep untapping him during your discard phase).
When you do untap him, though, his actions are more painful for other vampires to attempt block. His Obfuscate can help him stealth past a blocker after the blocker has already paid the blood to attempt to block, further encouraging vampires not to try to block him.
