Courts of the Crane Clan

4 Province Strength
Air

Interrupt: When this province is broken - dishonor each attacking character and honor each defending character.

Just a really damn good card, not much else to say

It's RoA flavoured, we don't know what it means yet (maybe player has to posses 5 different elements at provinces?) but it's climatically correct.

I'm not so convinced with the card. Especially compared to Shameful Display

- Shameful display is during combat,it enables cards and might you allow to win the combat. (claiming you a ring)
- It does have 1 province strength more but shameful display can have a much bigger force swing.
- You don't have to lose the combat, and 1/4 of your "health" by atleast 4 strength (remember that certain cards trigger when you lose with more then 5)
- Often it won't honor/dishonor more characters then Shameful display. (Lion, an other Swarm decks, will hate the card though)
- In it's defence, it doesn't cost a action opportunity during combat.

Although we don't know the flow of the game yet I don't think most decks will often have more then 6 personalities on the field. Those 6 personalities have to participate in up to 4 conflicts a turn. For you defending with a lot of characters is probably not the optimal play. You diminish your own offensive and you migh win the conflict, not being able to trigger the card. If you defend with only 1 shameful display was better.

The dishonor aspect is stronger though. A turn where you dishonor 3+ personalities can give you quite an advantage in later turns. I think Scorpion would have loved this card.

imho the card is, in most situations worse then shameful display. It's better when your opponent attacks with only 1 non-dishonored character and in the case of a midgame battle where a Lion/swarm swings military with nearly his entire force, you defend with nearly everything,lose the battle, the province but the switch in power gives you the win in the next turn or two.

Verdict: This card gets the Daidoji Nerishma warning -> It's an ambush!

There are just better Air Provinces to run than this. Its not bad, its just on break is so hard to control to get full effect. However if you are on a Keeper Role with Unicorn Splash for Talisman of the Sun, you can gain a lot of value from The Art of Peace. Outside of that one deck, it likely stays in the binder, unless we get some province moving shenanigans.
