Abolish Grouping Rule

Decks with jimmy Dunn, lorrie, arriette sylla, hector sosa, patrick, volo, hugo and agatha ...
Cybele who tends the flock on two "the horde" every turn...
Muricia AND howler...

mono weenie with no duplicates sounds like a great thing, am i missing something?

greater potential sounds, well, greater.



Muricia AND howler sounds awesome, see what i mean?

It takes most of the challenge out of deck building. lawfirm with every madcap ventrue Prince is kinda broken. ks stealthbleed with morel , dolphin, George, Persia, midget, Jackie, bela , apache... it gets broke fast. no grouping means its harder to test new cards thoroughly as well.

there needs to be grouping. just because you want a trash deck to be better doesn't mean rules should change. I've complained about rocia and the most recent Indy gargoyle not grouping with the other 3 for years. the rule doesn't need changed because of it.

for me the appeal of no grouping is that i have few cards.

for lackey i have all the cards; its much less of an issue.


maybe someone can hold a tournament with no grouping rule and see what crazy stuff pops up.

could be fun.

There was an HTTB tournament that suspended grouping rules - and yes, it was fun. But I wouldn't want to play that way all the time. The restrictions imposed on deck building by the grouping rule foster creativity.

As to the problem of not owning enough cards - there's no real answer here except "buy more cards". Thankfully, you can find crypt cards on eBay fairly cheap (and you'll sometimes see auctions for collections of grouping-specific vampires).

crypt cards are extremely cheap
