    Formats:

    **********************
    ******Pure Jyhad******
    **********************

    Just what it says only cards from the set Jyhad, cards are played with latest errata (power level and rules clarification).

    Pure Jyhad is a way to experience the game as the creator intended and is used at special events.

    Ante and seat change cards are banned because we're lazy
    Succubus Club is banned
    Clan hoser cards are strongly discouraged since we are likely to know what clan the table is on and most of them can't be removed
    * Brujah Frenzy (pretty absurd table control card)
    * Gangrel Atavism (not super powerful but would be tier 1 if you removed the Gangrel tag)
    * Malkavian Dementia (totally insane)
    * Tragic Love Affair (insane)
    * Cultivated Blood Storage
    * Letter from Viena (both these just tap the whole board and are nuts)
    * Nosferatu Putresence (the weakest but fuck it)

    Crypt:

    Jyhad Backed fucking Jyhad cards.

    Library:

    The above ban list. Jyhad backed fucking Jyhad cards.

    ***********************
    ***********************
    ******Vampstended******
    ***********************
    ***********************

    Vampstended represents the universe of cards that still wore The Creators Deckmaster notation. After Final Nights the Deckmaster mark was removed from the card back
    making the game an imposter. This format represents the core canon Vampire world of Camarilla in war against The Sabbat. This format should have far less chance of
    contesting with a broad array of clans and sects to pick from.

    Cards are played with latest errata (power level and rules clarification)

    Crypt:

    Group 1-2 through Final Nights
    * Jyhad
    * Vampire the Eternal Struggle (mostly reprints)
    * Dark Sovereigns
    * Ancient Hearts
    * The Sabbat
    * Sabbat War (lots of reprints)
    * Final Nights (lots of reprints)

    Advanced Vampires are banned since that mechanic doesn't exist in the Library sets and those vamps aren't in the above sets anyway.

    Library:

    Any backs, print outs and reprints are fine, as always you are encouraged to get the older card or original art.

    Sets allowed are:
    * Jyhad
    * Vampire the Eternal Struggle (mostly reprints)
    * Dark Sovereigns
    * Ancient Hearts
    * The Sabbat
    * Sabbat War (lots of reprints)
    * Final Nights (lots of reprints)

    Ante and seat change cards are banned.

    The following cards are banned:
    Succubus Club
    Madness of the Bard
    Memories of Mortality
    Protect Thine Own
    The Return to Innocence
    Seeds of Corruption
    Dreams of the Sphinx
