Other Brain-storming:

Other Shugenja Options:  Preferably not blank shit... 
- Luchi Chiwa - Good battle ability, shugenja in clan, and no honor requirement, gains two honor why is she not in?
- Dark Naga - sac to the sensei for fear all big, if you can buy it, they should be scured. 
- Komori Taruko - Solid force to gold, solid ability, solid chi. 
- Non - Unique mantis shugenja are okay, low force, bad abilities. 
- Unique Mantis shugenja are all amazingly good, but requires running the school of wizardry. 
- Tairao doesn't cause an honor loss from spider and has a solid ability. 

Other Attachments:
- Ominous Armor - Stack protection, force is a problem... 
- Nagimaka of what does the fox say - Decent battle action, + chi?  Cost though... 
- Cast Aside Appearances - This might be viable... the one honor hit might be sneaked in due to its amazing force and ability...
- Deafening thunder - I like it because its a force penalty in battle with no tempo loss if its big enough, and it's 0 gold attach. 
- Sailors warning - it's a ranged attack... 
- Summon Fuschico? If I have dead slots and really need a specific item?  Probably not good... 
- Hidden power - ?  Worth running to retrieve something better?

Strategies: 
Force is a problem...   The shugenja with high force have honor requirements, which means you have to land an HR you can afford to buy.  Most of the Hr's you can afford to buy that are cheap are not currently in the list, Okaiu, chiwa.  I think the goal is turn 2 is to buy a dude for honor and double-gold. 

Back to the front?  3x back to the front and 2/3x chiwa (for honor) covers all the movement I'll need imo. 



SCRIBBLE SCRIBBLE SCRIBBLE...  fuck this deck...

Much hate. So opinonated. Wow

Fuck this meme

I just hate the idea of BLANK DUDES... with honor requirements I don't meet.  IT's just dumb design, sure some of the spells are powerful but they have no force. 

If you want to see the "shitty forum feedback":

Though I think in general the discussions I start support my clan members well. 

I think it has some power behind it but I hate the inconsistency of having to buy HR.  I've run into it once already with yoshie and losing to that is much embarrass.  IT kills shit.

Koans scroll satchel needs to be in the deck to combo with searing seige.

I don't think so, there isn't much that deals with spells to begin with.  Where other decks have a 0 force dude, whoever siege is on is going to be big enough for battle.  It's debatable.

People will simply remove the guy with the spell, they don't have to remove the spell itself. The only possible answers to Koans is to remove all presence or to harpoon the guy with searing seige. The combo wins games. Any deck that can get the combo in play consistently is a tier 1 deck.

Seems like a blanket statement...  So we have to look out for that shugenja deck that runs walking fuschico's to get the scroll case?

Rich is right.

Btw did you actually build the deck in egg and test it?

Sleep wrote:Btw did you actually build the deck in egg and test it?

I've been just jotting down the ideas, I haven't tested it because we haven't had an egg session in a while.   Always up for testing...   Just playing with different concepts.  I just view blanket statements in general as poor.  

While I hate the idea of running a deck with HR problems and blank dudes, the spells are powerful and I can see the potential in the deck, we'll see, I don't think it's amazingly more or less powerful than other variants.   

I do like the fear synergy though which is something I was looking for in the best of deck (which I won't find atm).  We'll see how it plays...  I can already see what you suffer through in having dead cards in hand from spells no longer being playable like strats.

Deck is basically kill everything, if something is still alive, run.  I need to test it...

I still don't see koans scroll satchel in the list

Can see if I can slot it in somewhere fate side is not even tested.

3x searing seige. It pitches to itself so is never a dead card.

Increase komori taruko to 3, she is one of the best shugs in your deck. You can also run 3x Myuken, he is basically a 3f 4g shug in your deck. Both will really help to drop the curve if your deck.

If your going to add items, add justice or family sword, they add chi to fuel your spells and get you some much needed force.

Didn't even realize she was non-unique.  For some reason I thought she was unique because of how good she is for the cost!

Biggest problem the deck has is early force, this resolves that problem.

Going to also put together just a generic best off modification that utilizes the sensei.
