Black Hand Thuggees!

Hidden Pathways is a must in those decks IMHO.

I didn't have any Reunion Kamuts in mine, because my thinking was I wanted to have as many vampires out as possible (to enable more Thuggees). Of course, some Reunions do make sense, but in general with a Thuggee deck you need lots of controlled black hand minions out.

I feel like I'm missing something. How is Reunion Kamut incompatible with the goal of getting out more vampires?

Oh, it's not, as such -- but if you use them, you need to make sure you keep at least one BH minion in your uncontrolled. My version used lowcaps, and not all were natively BH (I had cards to turn them BH), so Reunions didn't seem like a good bet. I may have been wrong, but there you have it.

No, that makes sense. The part that I was missing was that not all of your crypt was BH. Thanks for clarifying.
