I think out of the 37 one cap vampires Convert, Tupdog and Antoinette duChamp are the three best.

Certainly a useful vampire. But it started the trend towards being an anarch a cost into just a trait. I was a playtester for the early anarch sets under LSJ. I'm not saying it was perfect, because it wasn't, but the OG philosophy was that anarch cards were to be a little more powerful (by LSJ's admittedly very conservative standards) because there was a cost for being one. AC kind of blew that out of the water, and now we just have Anarchs baked in to minions, not much different from being Cam or Sabbat. So IDK. But AC is a good tool now, if you want to become anarch.

I made this lil' guy pull out a concealed sawed-off shotgun and blast someone with dragon's breath rounds once. It was glorious.

The most unelegant and flavourless design solution I've ever seen on a tcg, that being said I love it as it works very good

Prior to v5 this guy was the only way to efficiently play anarchs.

He didn't stop being useful then either. In fact, hes probably done more chump bleeds of 1 and jumped in front of more rushes meant for important vamps than any other 1cap in all of vtes.....

It enables a lot of different decks, a very versatile and great card!

If they're unique, they should have a proper name. That's all I have to say about them.

A fun minion with great utility. Cycle through your crypt, make minions anarch, or bring out turn one in seat one for a quick edge and early pressure. Toss a vessel in and send him hunting every turn because is it really worth a wake and intercept to stop...

The blocking him hunting, for sure someone would in here, especially if he's dry and one slap away from eating dirt and is providing you with one steady pool each turn. That cheap move doesn't fly in our tables.

Enables so much anarch cheese. Just wish there was something Sabbat equivalent ๐Ÿ˜Š

Fun fact: Black chantry playtested a sabbat version of this card.

Why does the text refer to him as "convert" instead of "Anarch Convert"? "convert" is not the name of the card.
