crab one is stupid, like they need more "fair and balanced" cards

unicorn one is pretty damn amazing too, especially for free

phoenix one is very interesting, janky celestial business!

imo Lion got the shaft, only good for speed rush, =/

For 6 gold no less. Yeah the crab one looks like serious business.

I am actually the most excited about the Spider one. Anyone else remember how good Tsimaru Xp was?Shadow's Lair just got more frustrating to play against. Also, not a weapon is pretty nice as well.

Loving the Scorpion one too. I think the Harry Pottercloak and I are gonna be best friends all arc.

The Phoenix one is gonna make their enlightenment deck a lot better too methinks. Jurojin's to use the same card up to three times? For zero gold? Sure. Very Happy

The Crab armor is certainly nice. The Crane looks nice too.

I wonder, do you have to pay the gold cost for the Mantis yumi if you use it from your hand?

Unicorn's okay, would of rather have something that directly affects our win-condition, but I suppose card draw and favor support is coo... and its free, oh wait gold and steel the shit out of me I guess.

it replaces itself on the first turn (39 card deck!), most honor decks won't ever get the favor against you, bowless lobby, so if you're military that don't like to waste a body bowing for favor... well there you go.

the only possible down side are if you draw it in battle or if your opponent G&S as the first action after you put it on.

Courtier decks don't bow for the favor, they just take it. Most of which will dishonor the personality wielding said cloak. But yes I suppose favor control is coo for a free card. Don't get me wrong... this card isn't bad, but it isn't game-breaking like say the crab armor. Because it ain't broke, it ain't that impressive.

yeah exactly.

I do wish that more naga personality's were available though.

Way way back in the day they used to be one of the actual factions (with their own stronghold and all that jazz). I was a big fan of them (they fit with the crab in many ways thematically... very anti-taint/corruption).

There's no reason you couldn't run them out of Kyuden Hida xp right? Or Kalani's Landing, if I'm really thinking about it I suppose... Hmm I need to go look at my cards.

Oh, and her you go Jason, theme!

Yakamooooooo!

You know what this strong hold seems familiar. I belive I i played this deck in a tourney years and years ago. like the first year i started. It had Yakamo in it and his border was crab blue and naga green.

Crab/naga return sounds like a good idea out of KH exp. hmmm the wheels are turning.

Very Happy
Those are my favorite memories of the game.

The more I look at these, the more amazing they all seem. The mantis and dragon ones pale in comparison, but they are still perfectly playable. The Phoenix one seems kinda jank/busted actually. I can't believe it is 0 gold.

And James, discarding the Mantis one plays the action for free.

Oh sweet. It's not as crazy as some of the others, but it likely has a place in the scout deck, even if it is to just replace a Siege Volley or Daikyu. Im not sure the Phoenix one is busted since Gold and Steel were already in a lot of decks to deal with Kyuden Hida.

We try, although we have to break you of your habit of throwing in random cards versus fluffy bad ones. I would prefer if you threw in fluffy bad ones as opposed to stuff out of left field. You should throw dazzling attire into your berserker deck, then at least its funny, in a useful sorta way. 1 though, no more.

I guess, but remember, gift armor makes your berserkers night unkillable already... The issue isn't that your berserkers are gonna die, the issue is that you can't keep them in battle long enough or they don't contribute at the end. Against you I don't want to fight battles with my particular deck, I just want to out-maneuver you and take your provinces. What's the point of having your spirit of the zerker card if you don't win your battle with it and take the province (And preferably the personality also).

While I'm not expecting much I'm gonna slot 1 dazzling in myself just for grins to see what it does for me against corey's control deck. I don't really know if its worth the slot, but some seem to think so.

I think Dazzling Attire is a really good card that is flying under the radar for a lot of decks. I don't think it belongs in every deck, but if your deck has any issues vs control decks (in particular ones that are going to reliably use the favor on you) then it's golden. In addition, I think it's particularly good in decks with personalities that have high base force (since RA's are already under control). Remember, most of the great actions this arc say "card w/out attachments" and dazzling attire is going to eat an action a large percentage of the time. And it's free!

The well prepared/gift armor combo is stellar, especially out of crab who can easily run fubatsu, kaiu smithy, and another 3x armor (there have been a few decent ones in the last few sets). I just don't think it fits in zerkers for the reason that patrick states. You don't want to run conditional death negation in a deck that already runs a large number of death negation(delay). Especially since your zerk with the gift armor is going to be the first one sent home anyways. I'd worry more about keeping your fatties in the battle and upright (or contributing while sideways).

And I agree, the other problem with dazzling attire is the slot it fills, it has to fill a true "honor meta" slot... now when you have your honor meta tied to say, your movement (rumors travel for instance) this becomes harder :/ and at what point does it begin to hurt your deck by including it, that's part of my problem with the new free armor, I suspect at some point like Rekai's yumi it'll go the way of the dodo bird, especially this early in the arc with the power curve rapidly rising.

And they will target your personality... they will target him hard when you start taking their favor.

The honor meta is just 1/2 of the equation. When you are playing in an environment with Imperial Gift, combined with Border Keep, you will be able grab it in a little under 3/4 of your games. Being able to reliably cycle fatehand for a FREE card is nuts alone. The honor-meta part of the equation is bonus awesomeness that completely puts it over the top. That it removes the favor is decent, that it stops Accidental Confession is amazing.

Saying that gold and steel stuffs it is silly. Removing that card from their hand alone to narrow the options your opponent has is probably worth it in most instances. I know I would happily make that trade.

This goes doubly for the Unicorn Naga item Pat, you are seriously complaining about a card that gives you free cards, and is reliably a near free investment in most games you see it. Giving someone the choice of "you either gold and steel this now, or I replace it." is good enough, when you add in the other part where you are drawing a free card every turn unless they gold and steel it...

Yes, it doesn't work late game against the honor runner. That's the only downside there is. The only case I could see not running dazzling or naga item if unicorn, is if your fate deck is filled with enough attachments that adding an extra one would diminish your ability to reliably draw enough relevant cards.

Not trying to argue. (though it is an argument) Very Happy

I'm NOT COMPLAINING... I am saying that you have a standard 40 card deck, you can only stuff so many things in before you start losing the cards that your deck needs to run. Most of your decks should be at that point before dazzling and my new attire, which as you stated is my point. Both cards are not "BACK BREAKING" they aren't chags armor... they aren't a champion of thunder, they don't ABSOLUTELY DESTROY a matchup... and eventually your deck will get there.

The mantle is a good card, it still fights for the slot like every other card in my deck. Now the crab armor... if you are crab (besides yasuki, they are just dirty ex-crane), should be played in every deck.
