Submission: 12 new Tzimisce and a deck
Now, I've never been a huge Sabbat fan in vtes. But, its impossible to dismiss the Tzimisce as anything but viable, between allies and the in clan disciplines, and of course Abbot. Thematically, I favor Lasombra and !ventrue, while honestly being a much bigger fan of the True Hand concerning Sabbat, but Tzimisce in vtes are quite good, and I'm glad I found 12 (okay, 13…) vamps that somewhat reflect the viability of G2 discipline spreads.
Possibly worth changing under siege, as I came up short on titles this time. In fact, the one bishop I tacked on last minute (as opposed the the Lasombra bishop from the previous entry, who in the 20 year old source book planned to become a bishop…)
Anyway, new deck worth O vamps (and the one not making the cut) #2, Tzimisce:

The second deck worth of new vamps straight from vtm source books (I think I can do 5) is Tzimisce.
Now, I've never been a huge Sabbat fan in vtes. But, its impossible to dismiss the Tzimisce as anything but viable, between allies and the in clan disciplines, and of course Abbot. Thematically, I favor Lasombra and !ventrue, while honestly being a much bigger fan of the True Hand concerning Sabbat, but Tzimisce in vtes are quite good, and I'm glad I found 12 (okay, 13…) vamps that somewhat reflect the viability of G2 discipline spreads.
It is okay. Tzimisce are my clan. I have played every single Tzimisce deck you can imagine. Not sure if I agree that starter deck should be done here or not.
Possibly worth changing under siege, as I came up short on titles this time. In fact, the one bishop I tacked on last minute (as opposed the the Lasombra bishop from the previous entry, who in the 20 year old source book planned to become a bishop…)
Anyway, new deck worth O vamps (and the one not making the cut) #2, Tzimisce:
Tzimisce are viable with/without under siege.

Unlikely to ever see play. At 3 cap you have better options and vampires where you want both




Maybe

Boring, but reasonable. Group6 vampires are slim pickings, Honestly, I would rather have something like

It is fine, though from a meta perspective


Jaime Sangriento, voivode of garbage
That name... wtf. No Tzimisce would self describe themselves with the term, "garbage".

is cool, its not that cool. Other 4 caps were simply better.
The deck could use some work, but I don't want to get into card numbers at the moment.

Sunshine could probably use some sort of grapple-esque ability to coincide with her spikes. Tzimisce inf general could use something in vtes to show their use of bone spikes that snare flesh.
Flesh hooks

Only usable at close range before strikes are chosen. Grapple.

jblacey: Every one of them is pulled directly from sourcebooks, discipline spreads and all.
There are several reasons why there are vampires from sourcebooks that haven't been created as cards.
The Voivode of Garbage was called that by a slightly older vampire who was turned inside out for his lack of couthe, but the name stuck.
Being the target of Brujah's rage is a more comfortable place than invoking the ire of a Tzimisce.
Sunshine could probably use some sort of grapple-esque ability to coincide with her spikes. Tzimisce inf general could use something in vtes to show their use of bone spikes that snare flesh.
Flesh hooks
Only usable at close range before strikes are chosen. Grapple.
strikes that end combat or dodge cannot be played this round. If another round of combat occurs, the opposing minion takes 2 damage if they attempt to maneuver to long range.
as above, with an optional press.
What about this?
Flesh Hooks

Only usable at close range before strikes are chosen. Only one Flesh Hooks can be played each combat.
