Favorite sets for deck building? was created by PrinceOfFloriston
I have a good supply of original Jyhad cards but it seems like I should get some more recent cards if I want to compete with other players. The easiest way for me to do that is to buy display boxes. What are people's favorite sets for building competitive decks?

Well, it largely depends on what clans/sects you want to play. But for finding more cards to the discplines jyhad vampires have the best options would be Camarilla Edition, 3rd Edition, and Keepers of Tradition. Of those three, I think only 3rd Edition is one that is still available fairly easily, the other two are mostly sold out.

I don't agree with your assumption. Decks with only Jyhad cards have won tournaments after all the sets were released, as an example:
Pure Nos '94 by Bill Troxel
www.thelasombra.com/decks/twd.htm#2011wontci
It depends a lot on what you consider competitive and what you enjoy. If you like Prince based intercept and combat, the Alastors starter from Kindred Most Wanted is a cheap and easy investment. The boosters from that set don't do much to support the Camarilla clans though, so I wouldn't get a booster box as part of my first priority purchase.
The stores that I would recommend are here:
www.thelasombra.com/cardtrader.htm
Specifically:
Europe
Rest of World
Your best best is to examine what they have available, and consider buying sets that complement each other.
Lords of the Night / Gehenna / Kindred Most Wanted
Black Hand / Sword of Caine
Legacies of Blood / Ebony Kingdom
Avoid Nights of Reckoning until you've been playing again regularly for 6-8 months.

Thanks for the pointers. That's good to know about the Jyhad decks. Maybe I'll see what I can do with the '94 cards before I invest in anything else.

Malkavian, Nosferatu, Toreador, Tremere, and Ventrue are especially good with group 1-2 crypts (although if you can get your hands on some of the key vampires from group 2 to each of those clans it would help massively). Ventrue works probably best with only group 1. Bridges, Nash, and Crowley are still pretty awesome.
