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.

Visuals of VtES Promo Cards 2009

Here are the visuals of the eight new VtES promo cards (including “Rogue” that eluded me in the past few weeks):

Left: Abactor — nice card for those vampire immune to blood hunts.

 

 

Right: Fourth Cycle — Another weenie (and imbued) hoser card, but the use is rather limited due the requirements of two Gehenna cards in play.

Left: Rogue — way too situational for a deck; might be worth including into trick decks, e.g. one including “Undying Thirst“.

Right: Marakech Codex — this is a game winner card. I would consider this an auto-include for any wall deck, since they can defend it and will profit greatly from using it.
Left: Salt of Thoth — interesting card for Tremere decks which want to protect their locations, but do not want to spend too many resources for doing so.

 

Right: Rubicon — again, like “Rogue” too situational for general purpose use; almost all the time a dead card in your hand.

 

Left: Inceptor — very interesting cards, which inspires players finding powerful and/or interesting three card combos.

Right: SchreckNET — another very good card for the Nosferatu, especially for a Nosferatu Royalty deck, where passing votes is one of the cornerstones.
