    I think "Core 2.0" should be built in a way to support 8 Clans/Factions

    Either Mantis or Shadowlands take up the 8th slot.

    Break up the Core into two options

    Base core set that gives you everything

    and

    Four rival skirmish decks that features two clans each, maybe something like:

    Crab vs Shadowlands

    Lion vs Crane                       or         Lion vs Unicorn

    Phoenix vs Unicorn            or         Phoenix vs Dragon

    Scorpion vs Dragon           or         Scorpion vs Crane

    *the first set seems to represent the current clan conflicts going, but they can be adjusted as needed for story or proper card placement*

    This would give players a cheap entry point into the game to try it.  It would also give you the option to select specific clans via getting multiple copies of the skirmish pack for the clan you like.  And if you want it all you can get that too.  If you get all the 4 rival skirmish sets it equals one full core box so you could just pick up and extra two core boxes.

    Ignoring the admittedly meme-y nature of #kakitayoshiisafool, I have to ask; can anyone recall Yoshi having done anything thus far in the story that hasn't blown up in his own face somehow? He's needlessly alienated the Crab, instigated a civil war within his own Clan, and the side he's chosen to back in that civil war has been witnessed attacking one of the Imperial Princes and killing several members of the Seppun Imperial Guard.

    What has he been involved with that hasn't backfired for the Crane? I legit can't recall...

    I bet he was the one that set up Altansarnai's marriage to the Lion.......

    He's also responsible for disco, Teletubbies, and all the worst Star Wars movies.

    minus points to all previous posters for no obvious "Out **** spot" reference.

     

    Also I love how Chiari, straight up called Kachiko stupid.  Leave it to the Kitsuki to tell it like it is.

    Alternatively, with help from a Ningyo.

    Ningyo?.........I dunno

    Sounds fishy. :D

    I have a rule when it comes to embracing  non-humans.  Never trust something that is half-a-$-$ing it.

    Half-human half-fish.......seems pretty sketchy to me.

    Shadowlands creatures in the other hand.  They are all-in on the evil so at least I know what I'm getting into.

    (Shey) I actually am having a lot of fun theory crafting with Lion support of the Dragon cheese. The game in general seems to be a a real fun place. That said I think Dragon players are rightfully a bit salty but I am hopeful cycle 4 will give them some fun new tech. 

    Oh I have no problems with the salt.  The Dragon pack is terrible (for Dragon).  The salt is justified and I thought it was hysterical.  I just got a Snoop Dogg track stuck in my head while I was listening to the cast and decided to drop some rhymes.

    Sir Annadale.......

    One of my favorite cards from Warlord.  Man I wish someone would bring that game back.  7th Sea and Highlander would be nice too......

    Oh yeah sweet art. Can't wait to pick this up and add it to the stack of books that I have no time to read

    Daisetsu as the Crane Thunder?  Is there something I'm missing?  Why do you think that is likely?  It would be very interesting if Daisetsu was fated to defend an Empire he does not love, and if some failure in the mission leads to his corruption.

    A kolat told me.......

    Seriously though, I think there have been some speculations from the fictions that Daisetsu's birth mother may have actually been someone other than the empress.  And if it hasn't been speculated upon then consider me doing that now. ;)

    And I'd love for Kachiko's blunder of sending Asami in her place to lead to the party's failure and Daisetsu's corruption.

    While I loathed Kachiko being the Scorpion Thunder in the old game, I actually wouldn't mind it if she was this time around, if only to have her ruin everything by sending Asami in her place.

    To me it seems like the new story has some opportunities to assemble the 7 thunders pretty quickly:

    Toturi (Lion) and Kaede (Phoenix) are together and seeking out the answers which should/could ultimately lead them to the Scorpion thunder.

    Daisetsu (Crane) is with Shahai (Unicorn) and Mitsu (Dragon).

    If those two groups merged then all they would be missing is Crab.

    This game just got really fast.  City of the Rich Frog and Season of War are going to chew through a ton of cards on the first turn

    How do mulligan's work with CotRF?

    I'm assuming I can mulligan away 1-3 of the facedown cards there and refill the same amount.  Seeing potentially 12 cards instead of 8 from the beginning is crazy strong, then using Season of War to see another 6.  That's just under half the deck on turn one.

    Mill dishonor is probably going to go from meme deck to legit threat if everyone is burning through their dynasty deck so fast.  And Shiro Shinjo is going to love starting against decks with one, or more, face up provinces.

    "You may also notice every Eminent province has two elements. During deckbuilding, a player may include an Eminent province in their selection of provinces, fulfilling the province slot of one of those two elements. During gameplay, a province with multiple elements counts as each of its elements."

    I totally missed that.  This cold is kicking my butt.

    I think Lion's best role might be support of the Crane, and I'm totally not joking.

    I played FGG swarm and switch with it a few times and it seems very strong being able to threaten province breaks as your swarm grows and you can fight through counters with counters of your own and then just switch to honor if you can't punch through.

    Feels very much like old school l5r

    It's interesting how when Kamoko winds up in the same position as Agetoki was all those years ago, she makes a different choice.  Strangely, the Lion may have acted with more Compassion than the Unicorn.

    I'm not so sure about that?

    Kamoko appears to have lead a fairly bitter, hate-filled life, and now has come back many years later and revenged the death of her mother, killing who knows how many during that span of time.

    Maybe it's compassion to allow the Lion cub to die young and not have to live that kind of life?  Rokugan kinda sucks, in case you haven't noticed.  lol
