Courts of the Crane Clan

I think I would play this mostly as Cavalry meta. It's just far too risky to invest 10G and have my opponent Unsettling it for free to another Shugenja...

For the most part, only non-military decks buff their PS. Therefore, I'm not really sure how useful this is since its main feature would be to allow you to commit fewer resources on the attack to help defend (alternatively to win with the other player at 40 honor or you at -20). It just doesn't seem...

"Unicorn have the most gold on their stronghold, how can we deal with that?" "How about giving them more gold?" "YOU'RE A GENIUS" This guy isn't really free gold, though. He's 0F for military decks, no relevant keywords, and 5GC. 5 for 1, or 15 for 4 with the invest, d...

With more and more ways to kill followers, it's good that this one doesn't need to bow for its action.

This is a really good speed bump for Dragon honor. Not sure if it's any good for military.

Example: [url=http://imperialassembly.com/oracle/#cardid=11712,#hashid=98eafb66f058d058dc67bb685c0]Alchemy Lab[/url] The url tag cannot handle commas (among some other non alphanumeric characters). You only need to include up to the car...

You can only turn off the shugenja if you take an ability away as well. Where's Hariya when you need her? You only need to target an enemy unit. The presence of an ability or bold-faced keyword is irrelevant for announcing the action, so you can turn off both, one, or none (if you just want card dr...

This, along with Courage, are pure draft gold.

Won't see play in constructed.

So, are we supposed to include Shrine to Hachiman into our honor decks now? This card can really lock down a lot of stuff if you see it in combination with some straightening effects. Unless you plan on declaring attacks, Shrine to Hachiman isn't going to help you. It is a Battle action only. Plaus...
