Walk of Flame

At this point, it's about as easy to make work as Ahriman's Demesne.

(then again, if you see way too much animalism combat, theft + walk and relying on your opponent to press can actually teach some lessons)

Yeah... It's more fun than reliable!

I'd play with these and walk of flame if I had more than one

From my experience, I bet you wouldn't - Walk of Flame is purely offensive card. Bond is ever seen in purely defensive decks (might as well said that you get press to end combat) since there is lots of actually decent offensive first round damaging strikes, should your goal be to hurt your opponent.

Bond with the Mountain goes in such decks that pack lots of Mirror Walks but don't have big enough vamps to play Obediences in case they do end up in combat.

I own 4 Bonds and never have I combined these two cards in a deck - it was either Thefts + Apportations + an occasional Walk or Mirror walks/Obediences + Rego Motus + Wind Dance/Bond with the Mountain...

why was walk of flame included in third edition tremere!?

For same reason why Bang Nakh has been printed in tons of starters. Because its a Craw Wurm. Big and impressive effect, new players love those.

To be fair, big and impressive does work when everyone is playing starters. The !Tremere starter has 5 Apportation to use the Walks, and they scare the !Brujah from pressing.

Walk of flame is not a bad card but there is too much competition for combat slots in : you already have Magic of the Smith + Ivory Bow to do aggravated, and Theft of Vitae might be the best combat card in the game.

I still like Goratrix + Trap + Walk of Flame, though
