1 Ichigo Sensei

So, I just took my theme from Phoenix, put Ichigo sensei in it, and decided that it would honor out through battle resolution. It's okay if all of your guys are bowed, all of their guys will have 0 force, and with ichigo, you will get 3 honor for each card destroyed at battle resolution (usually meaning gains of 12-15 honor). You have kaiu built defenses for problem cards (which will within 3f eventually, I promise). You run a few spells, a few shugenja, a couple of magistrate cards, a couple of magistrates, and a small amount of dueling cards, and a small amount of duelists.

It's actually pretty fun. Don't think it can keep up with phx honor rocket, and I personally think that the unicorn ichigo would be faster (although would lose in battle vs this deck), but it's pretty good against the general field.
