First Blood: Ventrue (2019)
First 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. They are fully functional cards, 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 very all-round, with a strong offence with both bleeding and political actions, and a stable defence with Fortitude combat cards and effective reactions.
Contents are detailed below. The number before each card is the number of copies of that card in the deck.
