Is Lobotomy really bad?
When I put together my first Warghoul deck recently I wanted to include Lobotomy, but since maneuver is kinda important to it I decided to go for Orb of Ulain and True Faith instead.
Yup, True Faith is horrenduously expensive when played for non-mortal Ally (1+2 pool) but it being a Master it doesn't eat up an action like equipping with the Orb. I eagerly await the time such Warghoul made of pastors and priests runs across some Baalis...

@Eric: Okay, that'd be an option. Maybe you could add some copies of Caiaphas, because without an maneuver he'd be dead soon. But then again you have to have enough Lobos too and add enough actions for him to do. I dunno...
@bakija: Direct Intervention, if not Dark Influences (shuts down the Entracements for the whole minion phase), is a good defense for sure. I'd be glad to find a little relief for my master section filled up with Jakes and stuff. The other problem of DI, besides being a master card, is that you have to have it in hand at the right time. This is also true for Lobotomy, but that card can be played, doesn't clog the hand and still grants the defense. And it doesn't cost pool. OTOH the big advantage of DI is that you can save every Ghoul of getting stolen, not only the lobotomied. Hm. That's why I'd go at least with six Lobos, to be sure every Ghoul gets one.
@Juggernaut:
I have no problem in beating the minions of Meths who attempted to steal one of my minonsI'm more in the camp of beating the living crap out of anybody who attempts to steal a Warghoul (probably going to be your Predator or a Quick-Ousting Crosstable).

@Dorrinal: You're right, the more cards in addition to the vital ally/Warghoul ratio makes the deck more fragile. On the other hand you need some defense against stealing anyway, be it Media Locations helping you blocking them or adding the above mentioned DIs. So going the Lobotomy-route could be a nice alternative. So you can use the cardslots and doesn't alter the ratios much.
Thank you guys for your thoughts. I think I'll give Lobotomy a try.

I pretty much am a fan of stealth on Rushactions to get past those Jakes and Carltons.You mean you aren't tempted to play with Lady Zara Slatikov or Cysek?

GroupingYou only need Horatio, Corinne Marcon or any other crappy low-cap to make you Warghouls... So just bring out a baby and while you work on the Warghouls you can grab out Lady Zara or Cysek.

A stolen Ghoul can destroy easyly another by blocking my rushes then.
Remember that if it's untapped when stolen, You could alays tap and burn it to burn a location.
