New Blood: Malkavian

Clan Malkavian are seers and lunatics both – eerie oracles of vampire society. While plagued by afflictions of the mind, they are gifted with supernatural insight. This deck is a toolbox that mixes bleeding and political actions, focused on dealing direct damage against enemy Methuselahs. Its vampires forsake combat skills for stealth and cunning.

 New Blood: Nosferatu

Clan Nosferatu are horrors, grotesquely deformed by the Embrace. They hide in shadows and underground darkness, commanding animals as spies and allies in battle. This deck builds a strong defence with many animal helpers. It slowly gnaws at its prey, but can also surprise by smashing enemy vampires into torpor.

New Blood: Tremere

Clan Tremere are vampiric warlocks, masters of rituals of Blood Sorcery. Their powers make them arrogant and deadly, and they always lust for more occult lore.

New Blood: Ventrue

Clan Ventrue are the ”blue bloods”, the self-proclaimed rulers of all vampires and mortals. They seek to lead by any means necessary – manipulating the weak, destroying the strong. This deck is a toolbox with a stable defence both in reaction cards and combat, and a “lock and bleed” offence capable of explosive turns when the opportunity arises.

New Blood: The Ministry

The Ministry is a vampire clan of temptation. They delight in sin, pushing boundaries to the extreme and use deceptive powers to draw unsuspecting victims into doing their bidding.

Your vampire minions use politics, entrancement and Anarch trickery to damage your enemies, and evade getting captured by use of mind-tricks and shape-changing.
