Una Freak Drive

Actually imbued decks take longer if they have a stack of powers and people read the powers

True, but they are still minions that can be interacted with during several turns. They can be outbled etc. Una (and this Journal of Hrorsh BS) is just stupid.

No you don´t. Nothing in the rest of your comments tells me you understand. I have no idea why you say you understand perfectly, when you don´t understand at all!

but they annoy the hell of people through other means – specifically, that unless you have a way to deal with combat, you don't get to play.

Combat is a classic concept with minions interacting with minions. Smart players play some combat defense in almost every deck, and if you get into trouble other players can help you, for example by rescuing your vamps from torpor. Minions and players interact, cards are played, deals are made, it´s exciting and everyone is having a good time.

And really? Weenie computer hacking deck lets the first prey interact? This, of course, depends on the deck, but more often than not, with big caps, they pull out one vampire and proceed to be deceased.

SAY WHAT?! What is this “weenie computer hacking”? Why can´t you just bounce a couple of those stealthed bleeds (thanks!) and/or just Tap/Villein you´re bigcap? Or block or rush down those weenies? I can´t remember ever being bled out by any “weenie computer hacking”-deck. Never seen one in a final either.

Still, it is minions interacting. Players playing the game, instead of just one player.

In turn, I say to you that if you only want interaction between minions, Pokémon is the way to go.

Why? I´m serious in my recommendation – try MtG if you like combo-decks, shuffling, turn one kills, etc. I´m offended when who tell me to play some childrens game.

Vtes is a game about players and minions interacting – it has always been an should always be, IMHO. When someone asks me about Vtes, I tell them “it´s about vampires, taking actions, bleeding, voting, blocking, etc”, I don´t tell them “It´s a game where, if you are unlucky, one player plays and the others look at him/her playing”. That is just focked up, against the spirit of the game.

Banning or nerfing anything (be it cards or mechanics) because it "is just stupid" doesn't seem like a good policy.

I agree to disagree. I have explained this now. I have no idea why someone things Una (and it´s likes) is fun, or “needed” in Vtes in some way.
