Infernal Familiar Burn timing

Sometimes you want to burn your own minions.
Here's a deck that does that and that features the Infernal Familiar (however, sadly, the burning is not a result of the Familiar):

Deck Name:
Author: Array
Description:
(you should influence 4 on Jacob)


Crypt (23 cards; Capacity min=2 max=2 avg=2)
============================================
23x Jacob, The Glitch 2 THA !Tremere:3

Library (90 cards)
==================
Action (23)

7x Soul Gem of Etrius

Retainer (18)
18x Infernal Familiar

Action Modifier (42)
17x Conditioning

So awesome!

Deck Name : Turbo Jacob
Author : Ankha
Description : Jacob gets out with 4 blood, recruits and Infernal Familiar, Freak Drives, fetches the Soul Gem on the first Summon History, burns with the Daring the Dawn. Repeat getting allies (Infernal Familiars feed War Ghouls)

Do you mean Shambling Hordes? War Ghouls has a clan, not a discipline, requirement, which Infernal Familiar cannot provide.

All in all, I like this deck. Finally a good use for Jacob the Glitch.

Shambling Hordes
3
Zombie with 3 life. 0 strength, 0 bleed.
When Shambling Hordes enters play, remove an ally or vampire in your ash heap from the game or burn the Hordes. The Hordes gets +1 strength for each life counter it has. It can never gain life; any life it gains goes to the blood bank instead. The Hordes can enter combat with any minion as a action.
As above, with 4 life.


War Ghoul

3
Ghoul with 5 life. 4 strength, 0 bleed.
When War Ghoul enters play, burn an ally or retainer you control. She can enter combat with any ready vampire controlled by another Methuselah as a action. She may prevent 1 damage each round. Tap and burn War Ghoul to burn any location; you cannot use this ability during combat.

That's what the Summon History is for - it lets you put an ally in play, rather than recruiting it. Which means you don't have to meet the clan requirement.

Summon History
Type: Action
Discipline: Temporis
Cost: X blood
[tem] Search your library and/or ash heap for an ally, retainer or equipment whose cost is X or less. Put that card in play (on this vampire and with starting life from the bank as needed).
[TEM] Search your crypt and/or ash heap for a non-scarce vampire with capacity X or less. Put that vampire in play, with no blood.

Doh. Of course.

That's what happens if you aren't interested in cards outside your favorite disciplines.
