Official V:EKN Newsletter for Anarchs - June, 2005
Hello once again! It has been way too long - nearly a year since I
produced one of my argument-provoking newsletters. I apologize for the
long hiatus, but I have been very occupied in the world of academia.
(My Master's Project is now finished, thank you very much.) I hope
to have fiction again in upcoming newsletters, but for this one I'll
just occupy your time with my Anarch-related breakdown of KMW. Also, I
have two decks this month, mostly because the first one uses more
copies of Anarch Secession than anyone but me is likely to own, so I
figure people want a deck they can actually put together.

I - Kindred Most Wanted Overview
II - Vampire of the Month (Count Germaine)
III - Card of the Month (Groundfighting)
IV - Decks and Strategy (Bring Out the Big Boys Again)
V - Conclusion
I - Kindred Most Wanted Overview
Many people feel that this latest expansion allowed the Anarchs to hit
critical mass, such that they now have sufficient strength and reason
to exist. I of course felt there was plenty of reason to be Anarch
prior to this expansion, but it is now becoming harder for people to
argue against the usefulness of the Anarch paradigm. And I'm
certainly not going to complain about the new toys we have received.
First, the Anarch-only cards.
Undue Influence is already becoming extremely popular, and it has
enabled a few interesting variants to the crypt machine motif. Many
people have told me they don't believe it's as powerful as the
standard Govern crypt machine, but I think it's a lot more
defensible, because of (a) the stealth when bleeding, (b) the smaller
crypt size, and (c) the cross-clan synergy that comes from being
Anarch. Be sure to add in Marijava Ghouls when using the pre power.
When considering this card, however, please also consider the power of
the qui version. That "come out right now" can be HUGE in an
Anarch deck facing casual intercept.
Groundfighting I will talk about more below, as it is the card of the
month for this issue. But let me take this opportunity to just thank
LSJ personally for this card. It makes me happy.
And then there's Anarch Secession. All I have to say is - Whoo
hoo! Now every single vampire in the game can be Anarch without too
much difficulty. The Baron can actually BE a Baron (though why you
would do that I'm not sure). Arika the Anarch - I get shivers just
typing that. But more important is the interesting benefit of creating
Barons that can't be voted away. I like that a LOT. So much so that
I traded for seven copies of this card and built a deck around it.
(See below.) Also, note that the card does not stay on the vamp, so it
can be recycled from your ash heap.
Finally, the rewording of Anarch Revolt. Enough has been said about
this already. I'll just say that I like it. I think it's
appropriate, and I appreciate the flavor and additional Anarch
strategy.
Now the non-Anarch stuff.
The big boons to the Anarchs are the new Assamite, Giovanni, Ravnos,
and Setite cards. Specifically, their power to create small vampires
easily can be very useful for certain Anarch paradigms. I know the
Giovanni didn't get that exactly, but consider the synergy between
Proxy Kissed and Friend of Mine. Plus, that extra capacity makes
someone like Gloria Giovanni a very good potential Baron. But the
Assamites, for instance, could have a massive weenie horde without
paying for more than one or two vamps - just use lots of Undue
Influence with Web of Knives Recruits. The Recruits come out more
slowly, but then they help the actual crypt vamps come out very
quickly. Stir in Clotho's Gift for even cheaper additional vamps.
For even better Undue Influencing, try Ravnos with Tumnimos and
Presence discipline cards.
The Red List/Trophy mechanic does not immediately seem to have great
benefits for Anarchs. Rather, it becomes something we have to be
concerned about, now that two very good big Anarchs - Count Germaine
and Kemintiri - are Red Listed.
The Government events are also not great for us, though Dr Marisa
Fletcher is quite good in the right situation (see decks below). Port
Authority, the promo card, is actually bad for us because of how it
interacts with Powerbase, L.A.
Vampires.
Count Germaine and Kemintiri are my two favorite new Anarchs. Counte
Germaine I'll talk about below, but Kemintiri is just a great Anarch
when merged, because she can play all the traditions AND be a
Firebrand, play Groundfighting, and so on. Luckily, with Anarch
Secession around, you don't always have to wait for her to be Anarch
before merging, though it's still probably best.
The Ravnos look much better as Anarchs now, particularly with the
chi/pre combo popping up in a couple of places. The ser/tha combo
among the Setites offers some nice Anarch synergy. And the rest of the
vamps you can feel free to analyze on a case-by-case basis. Except for
the Abominations. I have NO idea what to do with them as far as
Anarchs go. Allonzo Montoya obviously goes well with Setites, but not
necessarily Anarch Setites. The others? Blech. And if you're
playing Baali, you've got enough to think about without trying to
throw Anarch into the mix.
II - Vampire of the Month (Count Germaine)
Ah yes, Count Germaine. He was good in Gehenna, but oh so much better
now. First of all, he is only the third vampire to get the "Anarch
when merged" mechanic, and while some might say he got the raw deal
in not getting a Barony to go with that, I think his merged form is
just fine. Let's look at both his Basic and Advanced versions (or,
as I think of them, the Ponytail and Fro versions).
Count Germaine (Ponytail)
Clan: Brujah
Group: 4
Capacity: 8
Discipline: obf CEL FOR POT PRE
Camarilla: Minions opposing Germaine in combat cannot use weapons.
Germaine can enter combat with any Toreador controlled by another
Methuselah as a (D) action.
Count Germaine (Fro)
Clan: Brujah
Level: Advanced
Group: 4
Capacity: 8
Discipline: obf CEL FOR POT PRE
Advanced. Independent. Red List: Germaine gets +2 bleed when bleeding a
Methuselah who controls a titled non-Independent vampire.
[MERGED ICON] Anarch: Germaine gets an optional press each combat.
He's just awesome. Plenty of 3-way potential, of course, but how
many vampires can play FOUR dual-discipline cards at the superior (plus
one at the inferior)? There are a few others, but not many, and
certainly not many 8-caps. His Advanced (unmerged) special is quite
good, and comes up much more often than you might think. And his
merged combat synergy means that if you want to build a combat deck
around him, you certainly can.
The Red List drawback is a concern, but Germaine can definitely defend
himself. Nevertheless, planning for this is fairly necessary for any
deck that doesn't always want to be in a fight. Thankfully, if
you're playing a vote deck with Majesty, the Anarchs now have
Groundfighting.
III. Card of the Month (Groundfighting)
Oh wow. It's just. I mean. Yeah. Take a look at it:
Groundfighting
Combat
Requires a ready anarch. Do not replace until after combat.
Maneuver or press or burn 1 blood to cancel a combat card played by the
opposing minion that would restrict this anarch's choice of strikes
this round as it is played.
A lot of the complaints about Anarch decks that I have heard are that
most of the successful ones are just voting decks. Well, that may be
true, but consider how this card helps the combat defense of the
standard voting deck. See that? Great. NOW consider how it helps a
combat deck, such as, for instance, a gun deck. It's an extra
maneuver when you need one, or a press if you need that, or a way out
of the Grapple or Drawing Out the Beast if you need that. It is by far
the most versatile disciplineless combat card out there, and it's
even more versatile than a lot of disciplined cards out there. If
I've only got inferior Celerity in my crypt (because I'm playing
Diversion), I'm going to be packing this, not Flash. And Thaum
Anarchs certainly prefer this to Apportation. The "don't
replace" weakness is distressing, but appropriate. Otherwise this
would be far too powerful. As it is, it's only awesome.
IV - Deck Ideas/Strategy (Bring Out the Big Boys Again)
A number of the KMW cards lend themselves to high-capacity Anarchs, so
I thought I'd take another look at those big vamps, particularly some
of the big vamps we haven't seen as Anarchs before.

Comments:
This is, as you can probably tell, the deck that I play specifically so
that people will say, "What the heck is going on over there?"
It's quite toolboxy, particularly with the vote package. But it's
a lot of fun to play. Also, that first Anarch Secession is almost
never blocked, simply because blocking it requires a titled vampire.
That little addition to the card is amazingly useful. And then of
course your prey brings out a titled vampire, so you bring out Count
Germaine. The deck certainly bloats well, and the Groundfightings make
the vampires extremely survivable. The crypt could probably be cleaned
up a little for the purpose of forward motion, but I like it for
flavor.

Comments:
If you've read previous Anarch newsletters, then you're familiar
with the Free States Rant/Mob Rule combination. It's so good it even
appeared in the Anathema starter deck. (Although LSJ has not given me
credit for that, I'm going to assume he got the idea from me.) Well,
there's a whole new boost to this combination in the form of Scalpel
Tongue. The blend of Mob Rule/Scalpel Tongue on anything is awesome,
and what's best about it is that they are BOTH combo cards. So you
can hose other people's votes as well (such as the vote to get rid of
the Anarch Revolt.) I will say that it takes a lot of finesse to get
the right order of vote cards for each situation (sometimes BO should
come before the Mob Rule, sometimes after - Scalpel Tongue is always
last), but this is a fun deck to play. Sonja is in there because I
would like for everybody's titles to get removed (and if my predator
doesn't take her or if she roams the table back to me, then she's
perfect for the deck), and Jayne is in there because of Society of
Leopold.
V - Conclusion
Well, it's good to be back. I should be posting on a monthly or
almost-monthly schedule again, so look forward to July when I go back a
bit and examine the 10th Anniversary cards, particularly Powerbase:
