Key Card Information:

Blood: 8
Power: 8
Ability: On Reveal: If Prince, Murder all connected cards.

Hiromitsu is the ultimate capstone for a murder combo deck, allowing you to murder a huge number of cards on the final turn. Just be careful to protect your key combo pieces like Elizabeth Dunsirn, as your opponent will certainly want to take them out.

Tyler Hepburn

Willingly (if a little sceptical as to the truth of the offer) Embraced at a Depeche mode concert, he found his awakening into his new unlife a little chaotic. He sees undeath as a wonderful form of self expression, and takes great joy in taking extra special care of his animated charges.

Key Card Information:

Series: 3
Blood: 2
Power: 2
Ability: When one of your cards is Murdered: Give +1 Power to all your Corpses.

Tyler helps buff all your corpses, so if you build around cards like Mr Stewart and Lynne Dunsirn you'll be able to give them repeating buffs to give the corpses a little bit more bite.

Releasing: October 8th 2026

Balthasar Godley

Balthasar was sired in secret by the previous regent, Edward Bainbridge, over 100 years ago. For most of that time the blood bond his sire held over him kept him, and his penchant for cruel, bloody rituals, bound. After the Vienna chantry fell the bond was broken and Balthasar escaped. Now he claims the role of de facto Regent.

Key Card Information:

Series: 5
Blood: 8
Power: 4
Ability: On Reveal: Murder all your Acolytes. When a card is murdered: Gain +2 Power.

Balthasar gives you a great end game piece to murder a lot of acolytes at once, giving you lots of value for cards like Murat, Elizabeth and the new Aiden Cruor. He also offers a decent amount of power for a deck building around swarming the board with acolytes.

Aiden Cruor

He was training to be a doctor when the first world war broke out. seeing this as an opportunity, his lecturer, embraced him. After the embrace he was sent to the front line to practice blood sorcery upon unwitting soldiers he was tasked with tending to.

Aiden, lets you get additional value from your acolytes after their untimely demise - the undead acolytes he brings back have Corpse and Acolyte as their tags, so can open up interesting synergies with other cards.
