I haven't counted them, a lot, the collection isn't entirely completed, but I have a decent amount of Jyhad, so A LOT
4 or 5
Leuven and Mechelen, Belgium

Q1: How (and when) did you begin your career as a VTES-player? Who introduced you to the game? Where did you play originally?
I got my first cards from Steven Scheldeman and it was mainly Brujah. So I started playing in "Avalon Too", the local shop in Leuven, which was later owned by Jo Herroelen who taught me the finesse of the game.

Q2: Which of the Sets and Expansions to VTES is your favorite, and why is it your top choice?
I stick to the original Jyhad and V:TES. But for the political decks is Dark Sovereigns my favorite with the Inner Circles and Ancient Hearts has THE card: Dreams of the Sphinx.

Q3: What is your favorite deck to play, and why?
My favorite deck is the Malkavian Political-Stealth with Telepatic Vote Counting. It hasn't won a lot, because every time I play it ... people get scared and the game is the 4 others against me.

Q4: If you could add something to the game, what would it be?
It is probably very difficult, but some sort of pool gain card for the Sabbat clans, they are still inferior to the Camarilla Clans, except the Malk Antitribu. So some sort of 5th Tradition for the Sabbat.

Q5: What do you do to help promote the game / why are you in this list of people?
Actually, I play too little, because of my profession, but hell I won the European title with all time good basic deck in the correct environment for me.
(EC 2002 - Vienna, Austria)

Q6: What is your favorite deck style for casual play / tournament play?
Casual play: it doesn't matter, mostly fun-trick-decks. Tournament play: Bleed and preferably political.

Q7: Is there a difference between your casual play and tournament play?
Yes, a big difference.
