Heirs to the Blood Artwork: Sandra Chang-Adair (Updated)

Artist coment (rebelakemi):
"This is a CCG gaming card for White Wolf's "Heirs to the Blood". It's a vampire that can shoot flames from his palms. Michael Jackson had just passed away recently and I couldn't help feeling sad, so I painted a Young MJ (with a killer body.) I wasn't sure anyone would recognize him, but my co-worker spotted it right away. Needless to say...I LOOOVVVVEEEEEE Michael!"

Heirs to the Blood Artwork: Shaman Soul Studios

Two new artworks from Heirs of Blood.



Gift of Sleep
Description:

“A Salubri (vampire with a third eye) walking past a dozing security guard.
Salubri: The members of this Clan come from a wide variety of gender, race and age, although the Preachers and the Purifiers seem to prefer people from the Asian continent and the Middle-East.
Once the chosen Kine has been Embraced, however, they begin to develop the Clan’s third eye. While the eye is not always noticeable (when it is closed, only an eyeslit, which appears to be a small scar, can be seen), the third eye is extremely prominent when in use”.


Blood Tempering
Description:

”A dark-skinned vampire bleeding from a cut wrist onto a curved knife, perhaps a kukri or jambiya. The blood seems to be absorbed into the metal. ”

Merry Christmas

I wish you a merry christmas and a happy new year!
Thanks for visiting my site, and I hope we´ll enjoy the ccg for a very long time. Greetings!

It could be... "The Horde"

Perhaps...

Heirs to the Blood Spoilers (revised)

I have problems to see the cards in the whitewolf´s website, so I put the images here.
In the preview list there is a Baali (U2), named "The Horde" that I think is another non-unique vampire. But it´s really playable a non-unique infernal vampire? I hope so.
Matthew, one of the salubri, I think that is the son of Saulot, so perhaps he will be a 10 cap salubri.



That´s my view about annazir, one of the preview list baali vampires, that I did 2 years ago for the cardmaker contest2008 xD:

Guild wars 2

The new MMORPG of Arenanet, after Aion... Guild wars 2



I played the first game, and I enjoyed so much the pvp. The trailer is amazing, I hope you´ll enjoy it.

2º tournament of San Esteban de Nogales, Magic

Last weekend was the 2º tournament of San Esteban de Nogales, my girlfriend´s village in Leon.

This year, I was the winner, at last. 10 players. 1vs1 and 2vs2 modes.

In 1vs1 mode, I won the final against a mono red deck.
Me (mono black rogue) vs Gelo (Mono red shock)

In 2vs2 mode, I was on the finals too, but we haven´t won it.
Roque (green counters) and Me (Hypergenesis) VS Toño (Elves) and Rubio (mono red)

My rogue deck cost only 16 euros and won decks from 20 to 100 euros. I´m very proud of it. Greetings.

Scourgewar Spoiler

http://wowtcgesp.wordpress.com has a lot of new spoiler cards of the new set of wowtcg. They are scanners, not official previews. But they are real. The blog is in spanish, but the cards are in english.

Cheap Decks II

A lot of new tribal creatures have come to magic. One of them are the vampires. Before zendikar, vampires are expensive creatures with no deck around them.
Actually, the vampires are in a lot of movies, books, serials and now Wizard of the Coast have created a low cost black creatures arround them. I´ve bought the cards in internet and my deck is something like that:


2x Guul Draz Vampire
4x Vampire Nighthawk
4x Gatekeeper of Malakir
4x Vampire Lacerator
2x Child of Night
4x Blood Seeker

4x Disfigure
4x Sign in Blood
4x Tendrils of Corruption
4x Vampire´s Bite
4x Vampiric Link

20x Swamp

It´s a 8 Euros deck. No rares, only vampires.

Naxxramas raid deck (WoW TCG)

This Raid, in the card game, is going to release in 2010.

At the moment, I´m trying to get (in WoW)the Tier 7 in this Raid and it´s really hard.
This raid is the headquarters of the Scourge, and Kel'Thuzad rules there.

From a oficial source:

In response to player feedback, Upper Deck Entertainment will offer an additional SKU with its next raid deck release for the World of Warcraft TCG. In addition to the standard raid deck configuration, which contains the raid deck and a “treasure pack” of exclusive cards, Upper Deck will also offer the treasure pack separately, for players who don’t wish to buy multiple copies of the raid deck for a complete play set.

“One of the complaints that we got was that some of the tournament players wanted the treasure pack content, but they didn’t want to have to pay $30 repeatedly just to get that treasure pack,” Upper Deck’s Dan Bojanowski told ICv2. “So we’re offering the same value here [in the raid deck] but also a separate treasure pack for $9.99.”

The Naxxramas Raid Deck follows the same configuration as previous raid decks, with a large deck for the “boss” player, 15 oversized hero cards, rulebook, and treasure pack, for $29.99. The Naxramis Treasure Pack, identical to the treasure pack in the deck box, contains 15 random cards of a 30-card foil subset, one alternate-art hero in Naxxramas gear, and a loot card (from the Fields of Honor loot set) in one of 10 packs, for $9.99. The raid decks and treasure packs will arrive in stores November or December, probably after the Scourgewar expansion (see “World of Warcraft TCG: Scourgewar”).

Vampires in "Magic"

Vampires rules!
"Wizards of the coast" knows that, and that´s why they´re making a lot of tribal vampires creatures for his next set of "Magic": "Zendikar"




Bloodlines and this... A lot of powerfull night creatures are coming this Autumn...

Hi there, I´m back

Hi. I´ve been too busy this month. The exams and the Ireland journey have taken all my time, and my relationship with vtes is a little bit smaller day by day.
Now, in Valladolid, we are only 3 people playing this awsome game. This sad me a lot. But I have to go on...

So, I have to apologize by doing promises I can´t accomplish. We´re not be able to make a storyline in our "great" city with only 3 people. So, until we could, I´m not going to make any storyline with the awsome Ashirra theme. It really hurts me, honestly. By the way, I will advice you when we could.

Making a break with all that "good" news, I have to tell you that I´m going to open a T-shirt online-Shop with my girldfriend. We´re going to deliver to all over the world, so I´m going to ask you some questions at the right side of the blog to answer some of my doubts. It´s my desire that vtes will have a great presence in my store, but I don´t know if it will works. So, please take a bit of your time answering the poll and I will thank you so much. Greetings.

Vampire in "The Movies"

5 years ago, I did a film with "the movies" game. In 2007 I did the second part and I hosted in youtube. I lost the source, so it´s in spanish and I can´t change it.

The theme of the films is Vampire: the masquerade. It´s based in a story that my rol group played some time ago. My PJ is the tremere one, the asian guy.
If you understand a little spanish or if you want to see them, you can see them here:

Vampiro de biginin

Vampiro 2

Nergal, Stanislava or Maureen are some of the second characters of this films. Greetings.

Magic 2010 Rules Changes

Summary of changes:
1. All mulligans/reshuffles take place at the same time
2. Some new terminology, including "battlefield" for "in play" and "exile" for "remove from game"
3. Mana burn no longer exists
4. Token ownership clarified
5. COMBAT DAMAGE NO LONGER GOES ON THE STACK
6. Deathtouch and lifelink are now static abilities

Main article

For me, it´s for better. The combat stack is really confusing. But the people are a little bit anger with this changes...

Munchkin

Munchkin is a new card game that I´m learning to play. It´s really funny to play with friends. People who don´t play CCG games like this too, because it´s easy. It´s like playing rol, without the boring part xD.
I´m going to change some rullings to play it with beer, it has a lot of possibilities.

Rullings

1 million players at the same time

One of the CCP developers (they´re making World of Darkness Online) has sayed: "The goal for the new game is 1 million players".

This implies that CCP is planning on implementing a one-universe model for the WoD MMO instead of the more traditional multi-server world.

This could mean that many of the core principles of EVE will carry over into WoD, specifically:

1. Player-driven market
2. Rich player politics
3. Territorial entities

Nice...

New Raid Decks

I bought 3 raid wow decks ($30 each one in shops) at 22 Euros (all) without the treasure booster in ebay.

Only for the illustrations is a good purchase, but in addition, it´s a really fun game. Black Temple (To kill Illidan), Molten Core (Ragnaros) and Magtheridon are the three raid decks.
We have killed several times Onyxia, and we need another challenge more difficult like molten core. The next week we´re going to kill Ragnaros without a Priest, I swear!

New name, New domain--> Undying Thirst to Manituan

Hi.
I´ve changed the name of the blog and the domain too. Sorry about that, but I have to.
Now the blog is named Manituan, as my nick name.
Manituan is my nick from 10 years ago, and I like it so much.
Now the blog and the domain have the same name to facilitate the access.
Greetings.

Fields of Honor (WoW TCG)

New visual spoilers from the last wow tcg set, Fields of Honor:

Freak Combo

There is a new overpowered ability in magic: Cascade.

Cascade (When you play this spell, remove cards from the top of your library from the game until you remove a nonland card that costs less. You may play it without paying its mana cost. Put the removed cards on the bottom in a random order.)

There are 12 cards who have this ability, but for this combo we only need 3.

1º)Violent Outburst 1RedGreen (3)
Instant

Cascade (When you play this spell, remove cards from the top of your library from the game until you remove a nonland card that costs less. You may play it without paying its mana cost. Put the removed cards on the bottom in a random order.)

Creatures you control get +1/+0 until end of turn.




2º)Demonic Dread 1BlackRed (3)
Sorcery

Cascade (When you play this spell, remove cards from the top of your library from the game until you remove a nonland card that costs less. You may play it without paying its mana cost. Put the removed cards on the bottom in a random order.)

Target creature can't block this turn.




3º) Ardent Plea 1WhiteBlue (3)
Enchantment

Exalted (Whenever a creature you control attacks alone, that creature gets +1/+1 until end of turn.)

Cascade (When you play this spell, remove cards from the top of your library from the game until you remove a nonland card that costs less. You may play it without paying its mana cost. Put the removed cards on the bottom in a random order.)


You only put in your deck cards with cost over 2, then when you search your deck for a less cost card you only will find this:



If any player don´t counter this card, all the table put his or her permanents from his hand to play. But yours are bigger...

Have you ever played those criatures who cost over 7 mana and in his cost have 5 colors?
You can do it now, and at the 3th turn.
