The Sabbat
Following the 30th Anniversary deck, we’ll finally be covering the long-awaited Sabbat. I strongly recommend reading the Fifth Edition Sabbat book to get an understanding of how the Sabbat are currently being handled in Vampire: The Masquerade. The main thing – the core principle – is that the Sabbat largely discard any clan affiliation and instead adopt a Path-aligned ideology. So instead of having clan-themed pre-constructed decks for the Sabbat, we’ll have four Path-themed decks: Path of Caine, Path of Cathari, Path of Death and the Soul, and Path of Power and the Inner Voice. The crypt cards will be of non-antitribu clans, but with the Sabbat sect and an indicator of the vampire’s Path. There will be Sabbat-specific and Path-specific cards, as well. I’m sure you all have a lot of questions about the Sabbat, and we’ll have more answers for you sometime next year.

After the release of the Sabbat pre-constructed decks, I think we’ll be generally done with pre-constructed decks as the primary format for new cards. We’ve given you a steady diet of those over the past several years and we plan for future releases to be in fixed-bundle formats akin to Fall of London.
