    <p>
        Baali and their unique discipline {{ dai }} provide good clan cards.
        Their vampires are all <em>Infernal</em>, and 1 pool per turn is a high cost,
        but some of them, combined with the clan cards, have abilities matching this cost.
        There are multiple archetypes used by the Baali clan:
    </p>
    <ul>
        <li>
            The {{ the_unnamed_arch }} archetype, a stealth & bleed construct starring,
            obviously, {{ the_unnamed }}.
        </li>
        <li>
            The {{ infernal_barons }} archetype, starring {{ arishat }} for a brutal
            fast-paced vote deck.
        </li>
        <li>
            {{ the_dark_side_of_politics }} archetype, using {{ giotto_verducci }} and
            {{ kaymakli_fragment }} to get titled vampires into play fast and cheap.
        </li>

        <li>
            The {{ council_of_doom }} archetype, starring {{ huitzilopochtli }}
            along some <em>Inner Circle</em> vampires.
        </li>
    </ul>
    {% endtrans %}
</div>

{% call layout.card_column("The unnamed", decks=40, copies="4-12") %}
{% trans trimmed the_unnamed_arch=link("/archetypes/the-unnamed") %}
A 10-capacity powerhouse and the backbone of the {{ the_unnamed_arch }} archetype:
superior {{ OBF }} for stealthed bleeds that pay 2 pool back, an aggravated strike,
and {{ CEL }}{{ PRE }}{{ PRO }} to dominate combat.
{% endtrans %}
{% endcall %}

{% call layout.card_column("Arishat", decks=26, copies="1-5") %}
{% trans trimmed infernal_barons=link("/archetypes/infernal-barons") %}
An excellent ability for politics, defensively or offensively.
Depending on the opposition, she can offer a swing from 1 to 4 votes reliably.
Star of the {{ infernal_barons }} archetype.
{% endtrans %}
{% endcall %}

{% call layout.card_column("The Horde", decks=20, copies="3-5") %}
{% trans trimmed %}
An excellent sidekick - its ability can be used to boost older vampires bleed easily,
even from torpor.
{% endtrans %}
{% endcall %}

{% call layout.card_column("Cybele", decks=17, copies="3-5") %}
{% trans trimmed
girls_will_find_inner_circles=link("/archetypes/girls-will-find-inner-circle"),
ashur_tablets=card("Ashur Tablets")
%}
Another star of the Baali clan, her ability led to Master-focused decks
like {{ girls_will_find_inner_circles }}, now in decline
since the 2024 nerf to {{ ashur_tablets }}.
{% endtrans %}
{% endcall %}

{% call layout.card_column("Giotto Verducci", decks=14, copies="4-5") %}
{% trans trimmed %}
Another Baali {{ baali }} star, particularly appreciated for his relatively low capacity
and ability to cycle cards fast. Perfect in combo decks of all sorts.
{% endtrans %}
{% endcall %}

{% call layout.card_column("Nergal", decks=14, copies="1-10") %}
{% trans trimmed nergal_beast=link("/archetypes/nergal-beast") %}
Six superior disciplines, a built-in +2 bleed and a once-a-turn cost reduction
make him a one-man toolbox — the star of the {{ nergal_beast }} archetype.
{% endtrans %}
{% endcall %}

{% call layout.card_column("Unleash Hell's Fury", decks=91, copies="2-4") %}
{% trans trimmed %}
The most played {{ dai }} card. The pool cost is steep, but it is a dreadful defence.
It can be used to deter bleeds or protect vampires against aggressive actions.
The threat of torpor without even a combat is hard to get around.
{% endtrans %}
{% endcall %}

{% call layout.card_column("I am Legion", decks=42, copies="2-4") %}
{% trans trimmed
telepathic_misdirection=card("Telepathic Misdirection"),
my_enemy_s_enemy=card("My Enemy's Enemy")
%}
An excellent card against {{ AUS }} bounces
{{ telepathic_misdirection }} and {{ my_enemy_s_enemy }}, it does not jam the hand
as it can be used at superior {{ OBF }}{{ DAI }} to just gain a pool for a blood
(the card text states <em>"and/or"</em>).
{% endtrans %}
{% endcall %}

{% call layout.card_column("Veneficti", decks=39, copies="1") %}
{% trans trimmed %}
The best ally of the clan, Veneficti has a 2 points bleed combined with stealth,
all for the cheap cost of 1 pool. Hard to resist:
it is the kind of awesome cards one is paying the <em>Infernal</em> penalty for.
{% endtrans %}
{% endcall %}

{% call layout.card_column("Sense the Sin", decks=36, copies="1-5") %}
{% trans trimmed %}
A very versatile card, it can be used for intercept or additional bleed,
depending on the situation.
Always useful, at no cost, even with no corruption counter around.
{% endtrans %}
{% endcall %}

{% call layout.card_column("Contagion", decks=35, copies="1") %}
{% trans trimmed %}
A decent pool damage provider, although often played as a single copy in Baali decks.
It is a way to bring the pool cost around the table closer to the one one has to pay
to unlock Infernal vampires, and is more useful in slow-paced decks.
{% endtrans %}
{% endcall %}

{% call layout.card_column("Infernal Servitor", decks=24, copies="1-5") %}
{% trans trimmed %}
An excellent ally: although he does not stay in play,
his bleed power is huge and can make for a very nice lunge.
{% endtrans %}
{% endcall %}
