How I would relaunch V:TES (card reprint) - Part 3 - Fortitude

i'd be profoundly sorry to see Dawn Operation go. I run a bruise/bleed deck with that, skin of night, and Weather Control.

Generally agree wit the selection, although I think Hidden Strength should belong to the selection as it's flexibility is pretty important against Taste of Vitae and aggravated damage. Also Force of Will fits the theme well and adds some unique possibilities for already not too-strong clans like Samedi. There are other solutions to block Turbo decks if that is the reason for taking it out.
Regarding freak drive I think the only-once-per-vampire-per-turn clause would be a good solution. I would not miss Una and related decks, and the card would still be very strong.

Unless Paradox releases an incompatible game or VEKN bans over 3000 cards.

You can still play with Dawn Operation It just won't be reprinted.

Heck, even if Paradox releases an incompatible game, I wager people will still be playing VTES...

Wakes are important. I like the suggestion in another thread to rebrand them to reflex cards. Vtes needs wakes to stimulate interaction.

I'm really not a big fan of the "Reflex" terminology. I never really understood why it was added in the first place, instead of a simple reaction.

"Reflex" was added to indicate that the card's effect could be played at any time - including when there is no action, when reaction cards are not playable.

Example: an Abombwe reflex can cancel the effects of a Rotschreck or Frenzy master.
