New Crypt Cards in 2019

For your (and my future) convenience here’s the list of the latest 2019 crypt cards. The first two of them are promo cards for two Continental VTES Championships, and the last is an extra card from the VTES 25th Anniversary set.

I really like that there are now two mid-cap Anarch barons, and even though there discipline don’t quite match, there will be some way to combine in future Anarch vote decks. You can also read an in-depth review of these cards on Information Highway blog.

	Casey Snyder Promo from the North American Championship 2019 (14-Jun-2019 to 16-Jun-2019)
	Jacques Rouge Promo from the European Championship 2019 (16-Aug-2019 to 18-Aug-2019)
	Grimgroth Part of the 25th Anniversary Set

According to Black Chantry (current publisher of VTES), the first two cards will be part of a future VTES product. This *could* be a tournament promo pack, but also part of a regular set or expansion.
