About Lambach (G2)

Lambach (G2), Vampire, designed by Tim Bradstreet, Grant Goleash first released in October 1996 in the set Sabbat and was printed exactly in 3 different ways.

Lambach is best suited to a Tzimisce close-combat or combat-control deck that can exploit his +1 strength and repeatedly make strong hand strikes aggravated, particularly builds using Vicissitude, Potence, or combat packages such as Immortal Grapple and Taste of Vitae; however, paying 10 pool for a vampire whose main offensive benefit costs 1 blood each combat is a significant drawback, and he is vulnerable to being ousted before contributing. In most competitive decks, `Breath of the Dragon` is generally better because it provides aggravated hand damage through Vicissitude without requiring Lambach’s expensive crypt slot, while cards such as `Chiropteran Marauder` may also offer more efficient dedicated combat pressure; Lambach should therefore see play only in a deck specifically built around him, or in a slower Tzimisce combat deck that values his permanent strength bonus and reliable aggravated hand strikes, rather than as a generally optimal inclusion.
