Not saying it's a bad card. But they printed too many.

IMO we should create some starter decks for all clan's.
We can start a thread for submitting some reasonable starter decks for the POD expansion. And we can also create some standard boosters for drafts.

I have already mentioned that draft text should be added to the old cards...

Besides the decks and boosters players could also buy POD cards.

Other possibility is allowing the old decks to be reprinted... CE, SW, FN, etc.

If you want to maintain the ratio common vs rares vs uncommon, that POD will always kill it, no one will want some of the rares that exist. I don't think that someone will ask for a copy of bloodbath...

pins. mats. carrying cases. anything. (as long as shipping to philippines is reasonable.)

Would precon decks be available as an ordering option? It seems like it would be the easiest thing to do, just feed a deck-list into the ordering system.

There's a number of decks in the various guidebooks that have come out, as well as all the starters' lists that could be a good place to start. I know I'd personally order a set of HttB starter reprints - I've never even seen them in person and nuts to ebay prices.

Pre-cons are a great idea for new players — but unless the economics works perhaps they should just be a pre-selected print on demand deck.

Let go of the rare, uncommon, common mindset — it should be a thing of the past. On Lackey often you will see diverse and creative (or at least different) decks simply because card availability is not a concern. It should also be like this in real life and print on demand makes this a possibility. Embrace it, it could be great. If it fails — what does it change? nothing of importance.

Artificial restrictions / limits on cards is just a waste of time and energy. I could perhaps understand it if there was a card limit in VTES, but there isn't so why try and enforce one on build to order decks?

This, so much this! Balance in vtes is not maintained by bogus 'rarity'. It's all a scramble anyway, there are 'rare' cards that are widely available and 'commons' that are not, let us all just let it go and build whatever decks we want and get back to playing the game. IMO.
