Power creep and/or inflation

No, actually it wasn't, in those 10% of decks. There is even TDWA "evidence" to prove this wasn't (and isn't) the case, if you wish to go that far.

more like 5% if you bothered to look up the actual numbers.

so yes for 95% of the decks in the game it was made obsolete; do you have any further evidence in favor of my argument or have you sufficiently proven it now?

Since your original argument was there were zero decks for Minion Tap, I'll take your admittance that there was some non-zero number instead and leave it at that.

tons of discussion about power creep, but it's all focused on the usual suspect library cards. What about the vamps? You pretty clearly get much more disciplines and versatility for your pool investment in a lot of the newer vamps, IMO. A lot of the older ones look like wallpaper, compared side by side.

Wasn't there something about the group 1 vampires having less "points" per capacity compared to the newer ones? Title was worth more back then or something like that?

The strongest crypts are still mostly in group 2/3/4 IMO.

Group 1 is fairly crappy overall (aside from obvious exceptions such as Anson/Volket et all), while group 5/6 is fairly lackluster and all over the place (again, minus some obvious exceptions such as the Brujah and Assamites in there)

G3 just happens to synergize really well with both G2 and G4, which are both pretty solid groups in itself. All decks that have dominated the past couple of years have been built with G2/3/4 so overall, no, I don't think powercreep has really affectd crypt cards.

Bigcap to be precise. They were more or less useless because they were not worth the pool.

Thing have improved with time. I don't think The Unnamed or Lutz are underpowered.

Why was Memories of Mortality banned? Did it prove too powerful?
