The deck doesn't proactively duel unless it knows it can win. The focus value concern is to give you a shot at winning if targeted and unable to redirect to a duelist. The deck is heavily meta'd for honor/dishonor along with enough to give you a 50/50 shot against breeder. If you plan on a heavy Lion and Mantis meta then card choices will have to changed. I believe that control will be the majority of the field for the rest of the arc as Crane slander and honor are strong builds. Military alliance seems like an odd choice but the 3 honor granted can buy you a turn or 2 and let you eke out some wins vs dishonor. I'm hoping to have this built soon and I'll post test playing results. Suggestions welcome.

Updated List after getting some input. All Personalities have printed abilities now. 4/15/11

I was actually looking at military alliance myself. It's just about the only anti-dishonor event. And in a military deck it's pretty good. It can net you 9 honor over the course of the game if it pops early and that is HUGE.

I think the deck has major potential with some fine tuning. Especially in a control heavy environment like lets say New Mexico....

I've already got a deck that I'm playtesting for NM. Built on egg, but I need to play real opponents with it. Biggest thing is I need to get at least 20 games in against scorpion dishonor and crane honor.

I'm also going to need lots of cards... OAS, Claw and Shell, modifications, and more.

Also, Kuni Jiyori xp2? I... don't think that's a real card Anthony. As much as I'd love it to be!

I'll give up my OAS and mods...

What had happened was....Wishful thinking Sleep. Fixed on original post now. :bom:

Very weird deck, I'll look forward to seeing it in action.

Deck updated. Personalities all have actions and streamlined fate side.
