Imbued vs Xeper

Champion and Hide are good advices! thanks - don't believe I missed them:)

Please also note that since all the vamps yhat can steal imbued (juniper, adv ghoulet, xeper, etc) cost more than normal imbued, and typically cant be unblockable (excepting horrific countenance) to do it.

If one imbued being stolen killed the archetype, entrancement would make them hard to play. But, its typically easier to graverob a vamp than steal a,well tooled imbued.

Play them and youll see the table more than those vamps are your problems. Other ally decks get less hate than imbued. Honestly, running beatrice trmeble with other allies is safe imbued playing.

You can't win against everything. Xeper is not so bad as a blind spot: as a 7-cap Baali with only, there are not enough viable decks with him to be a real danger. Baali vote is fun, but Lutz does voting better in every way.

How can Xeper (or anyone with PRE) steal an imbued without strange alignment of the stars is beyond me. Happened maybe once in all this years, and never in tournaments.

React with Conviction
Type: Conviction
When an effect that would change control of this imbued is played or announced, you may burn this card to cancel that effect. Burn this card to cancel either a action against this imbued that requires Chimerstry [chi], Dementation [dem], Dominate [dom], Presence

, or Serpentis [ser] or a strike card that requires any of those Disciplines played by a minion opposing this imbued as it is announced. No cost is paid.



edit - read now the explanation of LSJ about canceling all the action (and not only the effect) and not triggering NRA... this obviously changes all!!!  

Both Xeper and Sebastian have superior obfuscate so good luck blocking them with imbued. Champion obviously works, as long as you got the spare convictions to keep using it.

IMHO a reversal is needed... otherwise, bye bye to imbued @tournaments (at least for me).
