About Karsh (G3)
Karsh (G3), Vampire, designed by Christopher Shy first released in May 2003 in the set Anarchs.
Karsh (G3) fits a **Camarilla Gangrel combat deck** that uses his built-in rush to punish non-Camarilla vampires, then turns those fights into pool damage with cards such as *Fame* and *Dragonbound*. His ability to make aggravated damage normal for a round helps him survive dangerous combats, but his 10-capacity cost is a substantial investment, and his rush does nothing against Camarilla vampires. For a deck focused primarily on rushing, **Enkidu, The Noah** is generally a stronger centerpiece because his rush has a broader range of targets; **Deep Song** is another way to give suitable vampires a rush without paying for Karsh. Karsh **should see play in a deck built to exploit his Gangrel and Camarilla identity**, especially if your opponents often play non-Camarilla vampires, but he is not a generally efficient combat staple.
Rules

If the action is unblocked when it resolves and the target is unlocked, the action "fizzles" (cost, if any, is paid, and it is considered successful, but has no effect). [ANK 20210124] [LSJ 20070411] [LSJ 20090514]
