 Caine's Chosen

Even a fiend knows fear. On the eve of Gehenna, elder vampires quake at the mention of the Black Hand and its unrivaled assassins. This mysterious Sabbat cult is the vanguard of the sect's struggle against the ancient undead. While all fear the Black Hand's assassins, few know the truth behind them, and even fewer know the prophecies of Gehenna uncovered by the Hand's Noddist scholars.


The Black Hand: A cabal of infamous assassins, the shadowy warrior elite. Hidden behind veils of secrecy and mystery, the Black Hand serves as the martial arm of the Sabbat. When the blood and fire of the sect's packs and prisci fail to win the night, the Black Hand arrives like a grim cavalry on the cusp of the night. Now, these faithful warrior elite stand determined not only to fight for survival in these Final Nights, but to win and, ultimately, to claim their reward from Caine himself.
Release Date: November 17, 2003. Legal for V:EKN constructed deck tournaments on December 17, 2003.
Black Hand is the sixth set released by White Wolf for Vampire: The Eternal Struggle, and the second to focus on the vampires of the Sabbat.
The booster packs contain 11 cards (7 common, 3 uncommon, and 1 rare) randomly selected from a set of 136 cards (plus 2 reprints: Hannibal and Jessica).
In addition, the set features 4 non-random preconstructed decks, Malkavian antitribu, Nosferatu antitribu, Toreador antitribu, and Tremere antitribu, which contain even more cards and are designed to get beginning players started right away. Each preconstructed deck contains 2 new vampires that aren't found in the boosters.
The booster packs were to be all-new. Due to a printing error, however, the booster packs contain two reprints of previous cards; two advanced vampires were accidentally replaced with their base counterparts on the uncommon sheet. One of the advanced vampires is still to be found in a starter. The other is not found at all in this set, but will be printed in the upcoming Gehenna set instead.



 Format  [ Top ]

 New Rules  [ Top ]

This set introduces no new rules. Some rules have been reformulated, however. For instance, the burn option has been extended to cover any "ready minion" requirement, not just a clan requirement.



 Promos  [ Top ]

The two vampires, Jessica and Hannibal, who were replaced by their base counterparts in the booster assortment, as well as Yong-Sun, who was replaced by his advanced counterpart in the Nosferatu antitribu starter, will be printed as promos (without the Black Hand expansion symbol). These promos will be distributed in the usual manner (at tournaments and conventions) and arrangements are being made to implement an exchange program via postal mail (and SASE). Details on the exchage program will be given when the exchange program is implemented.



 Errata  [ Top ]

- Imogen was reprinted in the Malkavian antitribu starter with an incorrect capacity of 8. Her capacity is still 9 (errata to the Black Hand version).



 Checklist  [ Top ]

All crypt cards are U2. Library cards listed as "U2" are actually interspersed on the common sheet, but occur at the same frequency as a U2 would. Library cards that are listed as "U" are simply found once on the uncommon sheet.
