Review: by Weyoun's Last Clone

Let’s take a look at the cabal power:

Cabal Power: Vengeance - This monsters controller gets an extra action each turn, which can be assigned only to a friendly member of this monster's cabal.

A very powerful power indeed. To use this power you need, of course, the cabal leader. In this case that is the Headless Horseman. For someone who lost his head, he has a nice dial, and add 2 to the number of plot twists in your crypt. Movement is often underappreciated, but it is one of this monster’s strongest facets.

There are other monsters with the cabal power: the V Skeletal Maiden and the E Executed Convict from the base set, and the V Asylum Spirit from The Lab. The V Skeletal Maiden is possibly the worst monster from the base set. You can’t transform on the first click. You can move and slay a victim, but you won’t transform. Next turn, you could, but it becomes really dangerous if your opponent runs slay prevention. And, if you manage to transform, you get an 8 attack with a matching lousy defense of 14. So it is better to leave the Skeletal Maiden where she is, and look at the other two. The Executed Convict works better. The first two clicks can be used to get a good position using Ghost, while slaying a victim in the mean time. On the third click our culprit is ready for battle. A nice 10 attack, 3 damage and invulnerability should make sure he can at least hurt your opponent. If we look at the Asylum Spirit, he has the very useful Possession ability to get around in the madhouse. Too bad he’s not that much better than his rookie or experienced counterparts.

With this said, I think a team with just monsters who have the Furies-cabal is far from competitive. You could use Headless Horseman, V Asylum Spirit and E Executed Convict in a 200 point team. But with just 3 monsters, the third action you get from the cabal is a bit useless. When the cabal power shines, though, is if you use the Headless Horseman and 3 cheaper figures in a 200 point team. You have enough monsters to assign actions to, and 3 actions a turn gives you a lot more flexibility. With 300 points, you could use the Headless Horseman and either the E Executed Convict or the V Asylum Spirit, and use the remaining 145 for some cheap but powerful pieces (RE Asylum Spirit are great if you want to keep it thematic).
