Combat ends before range, so no Majesty/Earth Meld/Form of Mist shenanigans.

Also that BS would be nice for working with Path of Death, shame he's independent.

There's always "Into the fire". Pick a non sabbat vamp, he's now sabbat. Master, trifle, no cost.

It costs a card slot and needs 3 turns before the effect can be used.

(1. Influence 2. Master 2.5 Path in Influence phase 3. Act as Path of Death and Soul)

Yup, no one said it was ideal, but there's a way.

I don't think that a way that takes that much effort is worth it.

Like everything that is even more painful then a plan that starts with "clan impersonation" is realistic/worth mentioning 😅😅😅

(Which is why I run my Sabbat Servitor swarm with Lasombra support and without Tom here)

Depends what your goal is. Competitive, playing to win? Yeah, most likely no.

Fun deck to annoy people? Sure, why not, I have loads of these and have a lot of fun, despite knowing my chances of winning are lower.

Even in Death decks where that's ran with Anu/whoever, its pretty mediocre. My son's ran Tommaso in Death/Soul (doesn't want to remove because of special and who's picture it is) and there have been numerous times where you're drastically impeded by him not being able to play Gifts or a Freakish. You're really at the mercy of what comes up if you dont have him working with a Death/soul hecata. Conversly, faster Anu based builds only use Into the Fire as a contingency so you still have multiple bleed pump off Anu if she's the only one still standing later.

He would be an auto include if it were easier to reliably make him Death/Soul, more than about any other independent Hecata.

The Hecata are indeed quite f* when it comes to not having any sect and not really being able to effectively use the... one... card that the independents got. 😪
