About Ponticulus

Ponticulus, Ally, designed by Brian LeBlanc first released in mei 2018 in the set Keepers of Tradition Reprint and was printed exactly in 2 different ways.

Ponticulus fits a **defensive Tremere wall deck** that wants to block actions directed at you while keeping its vampires available: he can attempt those blocks himself, or lock to give a Tremere +1 intercept. His immunity to non-aggravated damage makes him an awkward blocker to remove through ordinary combat. He is less useful in an aggressive Tremere deck, since he cannot act or contribute bleed, and his single life leaves him vulnerable to aggravated damage. If your main goal is simply to give a vampire intercept, **Bowl of Convergence** is usually a more flexible Tremere option; **The Unmasking** can be stronger if your deck uses several allies. Ponticulus is worth a slot when your deck specifically benefits from an extra, resilient blocker, but he is a situational choice rather than an automatic inclusion.
