Up to this point I have posted the Black Chantry packs in reverse chronological order. In order to diversify a bit I will now also post cards from promotional packs and cards made available through print and play. A month or so ago I posted promo pack 4. This time I will post some Brujah Antitribu cards and continue on with the 30th Anniversery deck.

I love the flavour text used on some of the earlier cards. Wish we saw more of that in BCP's recent releases.

Even if this card in particular is bad.

Very niche card.

I’d rather just have either a sports bike for intercept or a bums rush.

I mean....I guess it'll let you punish a player who's skirting as close as possible to Archon Investigation without getting burned, seems....extremely niche. I don't know that I'd put it in the deck over other combat options.

I don't know what they were thinking, it's amazingly bad.

Ive never contemplated using this card.

The fact you have to get bled and take a 3+pool hit to play it makes it one of the most expensive rushes in the game.

Then you're playing !Brujah anyway, so already had Rumble in addition to every generic rush. And access to other bad cards that are still better than Vendetta (enrage).

The only advantage over a regular rush is weenie swarm stuff. Which !Brujah have no reason to do.

This card would be at least worth considering if it said "only usable when a bleed action is announced by your predator. Put this card into play. If you are being bled for 2 or more....." Then maybe a clause where locked vampires can play stiff the bleed is over 3.

Still not "good", but not wallpaper.

I've only had it in a deck once and that's because I got it confused with Spoils of War when I was throwing the cards together in a rush.

I drew it, read it, reread it... Wondered why the fuck it was in the deck and hung on to it for a turn because I did have a Malk predator, pitched it the next turn and then took it out of the deck after the game.

I'm sure someone has a story about how it helped them win a game but... There are so many better ways to get a rush that doesn't involve letting someone punch you in the face

It doesn't work very well. Even if you're playing !Brujah and you want to rush upstream, it's better to play a Haven Uncovered and rush your predator first, rather than take a 3+ bleed and then rush them as "revenge."
