New Blood: Ventrue

New Blood is a collection of five 55-card preconstructed decks for introductory games of Vampire: The Eternal Struggle. These decks are simpler than tournament level decks, but showcase all the basic mechanics of the game. They are balanced, for a fun and exciting first try of Vampire: The Eternal Struggle. Some of the cards included are reprints and some are new for this set, all ready to mix with cards from other sets.
 

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.

Contents are detailed below. The number before each card is the number of copies of that card in the deck.
