About Gestalt
Gestalt, Reaction, designed by Andrew Trabbold first released in December 2001 in the set Bloodlines and was printed exactly in 2 different ways.
Gestalt belongs in a **Blood Brothers wall deck** built around one circle: several ready brothers can turn it into enough intercept to stop a key action, and superior Sanguinus lets the reacting brother borrow the others’ Disciplines for the rest of that action. It is less attractive in a combat-focused deck or a crypt spread across circles, because every chosen brother must burn a blood before the card does anything. For routine blocking, **Enhanced Senses** is usually the more efficient choice if your vampires have Auspex: its intercept does not depend on keeping a circle ready or paying blood across it. Gestalt should see play as a small number of high-impact copies in a dedicated Blood Brothers intercept deck, not as a general-purpose reaction staple.
Rules
10/08/2026
A vampire with no circle designation is in his own unique circle. Vampires with the same name (eg. {The Embrace}, non-unique vampires) do not share a circle by default, each has his own circle of one by default. [LSJ 20020609]
