About Sacrifice
Sacrifice, Political action, designed by Clint Langley first released in October 1996 in the set Sabbat and was printed exactly in 2 different ways.
Sacrifice fits a Sabbat vote deck built around vampires with capacity 8 or more, especially if your local games often feature smaller vampires of the same clan. Otherwise, it is too narrow: you need a suitable target *and* enough votes to pass the referendum. Banishment is usually the better removal vote because it can target a younger vampire regardless of clan, though it sends that vampire to the uncontrolled region rather than burning it. I would leave Sacrifice out of most decks and consider it only as a niche answer to a clan-heavy metagame.
Rules
10/08/2026
Cannot be used or played if the conditions for the terms of the referendum cannot be met (e.g. no legal selection, insufficient cards/players to choose from, prohibited by card text, uniqueness, etc). [LSJ 20100129] [ANK 20191228]
10/08/2026
Does not require a specific clan: vampires that can play cards as if they were of a required clan (eg. {Mata Hari}) cannot use their ability to match a target's clan. [LSJ 20100526]
