        The Malkavian are a prominent clan. With their unique {{ dem }} discipline
        beside the excellent {{ obf }}{{ aus }} disciplines,
        plus some really good vampires, they have led to many archetypes.
        {{ lutz_politics }} and {{ rachel_madness }} are two archetypes revolving around
        the powerful vampires {{ lutz_von_hohenzollern }}
        and {{ rachel_brandywine }} respectively. On the other hand,
        Malkavian and their antitribu are also used into two strong weenie constructs:
        {{ weenie_dem }} and {{ weenie_aus }}.
        The "classic" group 1 and new group 6 Malkavians provide solid
        {{ DOM }}{{ OBF }} bleed decks, {{ malk_94 }} and {{ malk_22 }}.

        Group 1 Malkavian have the {{ dom }}{{ obf }}{{ aus }} disciplines combination,
        making them the only vampires of the game with {{ dom }}{{ obf }}
        as clan disciplines. That got them into other archetypes, like the
        {{ mind_rape_arch }} archetype, using {{ mind_rape }}
        to take control of opponents' vampires. Malkavian and their antitribu
        got {{ dem }} instead of {{ dom }} on group 2 to 5, an evolution right on
        tracks with the roleplaying game <em>Vampire: the Masquerade</em>.
        They got {{ dom }} back on group 6 with the release of the {{ fifth_edition }}.

4 votes and +2 bleed like many <em>Inner Circle</em>, combined with all clan disciplines

{% call layout.card_column("Alexander Silverson", decks=27, copies="1-3") %}
{% trans trimmed govern=card("Govern the Unaligned", "Govern") %}
A solid Prince with all clan disciplines at superior, he sit comfortably on top
of the {{ govern }} chain. His inferior Presence {{ pre }} can be useful in political builds.

A solid 8-cap for the top of the {{ govern }} chain, the hand size bonus is nothing to scoff at.
{% endtrans %}
{% endcall %}

{% call layout.card_column("Zöe", decks=21, copies="1-2") %}
{% trans trimmed telepathic_misdirection=card("Telepathic Misdirection") %}
Superior {{ AUS }} at 3 pool is really a bargain. She has access to
{{ telepathic_misdirection }} for the cheapest price.

{% trans trimmed gilbert_duane=card("Gilbert Duane") %}

{% call layout.card_column("Juliet Parr", decks=11, copies="3-5") %}
{% trans trimmed %}
A new Justicar with a hand-size boost on referendums that provides excellent cycling and hand-crafting capabilities.
The free maneuver each combat is a good defence tool too.
{% endtrans %}
{% endcall %}

{% call layout.card_column("Kindred Spirits", decks=29, copies="7-28") %}
{% trans trimmed %}
This bleed action is central to the {{ dem }} discipline.
It can deliver a bleed of 2 in combination with a 1 pool bloat.
Moreover, the bleed can be directed to any Methuselah, not only the prey,
offering additional table control.
{% endtrans %}
{% endcall %}

{% call layout.card_column("Eyes of Chaos", decks=28, copies="3-13") %}
{% trans trimmed conditioning=card("Conditioning") %}

{% trans trimmed
deny=card("Deny"),
confusion=card("Confusion")
%}
+1 stealth for 1 blood: this is expensive.

stealth & bleed module using just the {{ DEM }} discipline.

{% endcall %}

{% call layout.card_column("Touch of Clarity", decks=15, copies="1-5") %}
{% trans trimmed deflection=card("Deflection") %}
