About Regaining the Upper Hand

Regaining the Upper Hand, Political action, designed by Stuart Beel, Will Simpson first released in August 1994 in the set Jyhad and was printed exactly in 3 different ways.

**Regaining the Upper Hand** is a niche choice for a vote deck that needs to control the Edge but cannot reliably gain it by bleeding; in a multiplayer deal, it can also give the Edge to an ally. Its drawback is that it spends both a card and a political action without directly gaining pool, damaging an opponent, or advancing your vampires. For most vote decks, **Kine Resources Contested** is a better use of that action, while a successful bleed is a better way to take the Edge when you can manage one. I would leave Regaining the Upper Hand out of a typical deck and consider it only if Edge control is central to the deck’s plan.
