Yet another TWD leveraged on the (to me) sad fact that Lilith's Blessing is not unique. This one's fairly original, so big kudos for that.


Drain

Its non-uniqueness pretty much only matters if you think you should have to worry about being hosed cross-table. For something that is pivotal to some decks (unlike Pentex, Dreams, Info Highway, etc), that one contest could cripple them. For fairness' sake, I think that the fear of Sudden and Wash are enough.

Lilith's is quite broken as it is now. I was tempted to try a deck abusing liliths&villein + new vampires combo, and obviously it worked pretty well. I never played this deck before the tournament and I have to say that having 10 villeins was a bit of an overkill. This deck was quite nice to play with (maybe not so much fun to play against though) and we had many tough games

It isn't Lilith's that is the problem, its Villein.

The same thing goes for Una. She isn't the problem, Freak Drive is (and always was).
