This seems pretty weak, given how rarely people play Events this arc.

I suppose some cool events for him will appear in this set (one is already here), but -1PS is not good idea in crane.

I can see literally no people even considering this.

Kolat decks than dig for Oboro will run this for extra deck thinning.

For what? Pure satisfaction of gaining useless tokens?

A Kolat Kobi deck made 2nd Place at the Green Bay kotei. Do not underestimate it.

The Province Strength hit is definitely scary, but most military decks are already easily hitting 6PS so is there really that much of a difference? It probably still isn't worth starting at 5PS competitively, but there are some good events nobody runs because of the slot they take up in a deck. Removing that drawback might make for some interesting deck design. I could definitely see some creative deckbuilders making something a little outside the box with this Sensei that could surprise. It may never get near a Kotei top table, but colour me at least intrigued by this card.
