InquisitorM 632 Posted November 8, 2017 (edited) Facebook thread lit up pretty quickly. To me, this is a net negative for the game. The only thing that ought to be censored is this card. A good idea with awful execution. The playtesters much have been frothing about this. For Fukurokujin's sake, please print a promo errata ASAP! Discuss.

Asako Michi 1,746 Posted November 8, 2017 I guess I'm in the minority here, since my unpopular opinion is that this is a great card and I can't wait to use it. 12 Soshi Nimue, BaraBob, Edgegordon1 and 9 others reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

windforce 23 Posted November 8, 2017 (edited) Forgive me my impudence and the nerve to disagree, but I really do like the card. Great neutral card imho. Truly sorry about that.

Ignithas 275 Posted November 8, 2017 I don't like the design of the card, but it doesn't break anything. Reactive cards are extremly efficient: Voice of Honor, Forged Edict, Let Go, Calling in Favors, Noble Sacrifice, Karada District etc. and Censure doesn't seem stronger than that. 1 OsramTaleka reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chupacabra52 42 Posted November 8, 2017 (edited) Now crane, and scorpion to a lesser extent, can overuse cancel cards by having nine total. I say scorpion to a lesser extent as they are less likely to have more honored characters in general. Edited November 8, 2017 by Chupacabra52 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Matrim 533 Posted November 8, 2017 (edited) what's not to like? It has great art, provides neutral cancel and makes players focus more on the favour. why would crane want to run 9 event interrupts? Are you trying to make them easier to beat?

I wasn't saying they should, just that they can. But, since events usually make up a good chunk of conflict decks and often decide conflict resolution, at least in my local area, I can see reasons to run a bunch. A control deck may want access to a bunch of cancels. I may add a pair of censure into my scorpion deck I am brewing. Time will tell how much room to spare I will have in my conflict deck by the time the Imperial cycle is fully released Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Asako Michi 1,746 Posted November 8, 2017 Just wait, next we're going to get an even more "broken" card and they'll add "this cannot be cancelled" just to mess with us. 5 Matrim, Chupacabra52, Nitenman and 2 others reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yakamo no Oni 116 Posted November 8, 2017 I like it. Might go well with my Phoenix. Besides of "cancel event targeting your shugenja" we don't have much access to cancellation effects and this comes from a dynasty character who has to be in play, so my opponent not only knows its there but can easily play around it. And since the Imperial Favor is always a good option for us with the whole "boost a character's glory to get it"-routine (thx stronghold), this card becomes even more interesting. I can already see that my deck from today will look significantly different around the holidays. 5 Caldera, JJ48, Matrim and 2 others reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My thought process is if you have 9 cards dedicated to canceling events, you have 9 cards that don't accelerate your win condition. 3 JJ48, Ignithas and Soshi Nimue reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Crane/Scorpion decks don't play more than 5 cancels, because event cancels can lead to very awkward hands, especially against Dragon. I don't think that Scorpion is very hot on Censure, because they are atm not particullary good at winning the favor. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
L5RBr 178 Posted November 8, 2017 I think many phoenix willl make good use of it, with display of power and the stronghold, getting the favor is easier.. 1 Caldera reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maniacmcgoo 191 Posted November 8, 2017 So, it's an cancel card that requires the favor to use.... why the outrage? Only people I could think of who may have an issue with it are crane/scorpion players who don't want other clans to be able to cancel events also. 3 Caldera, JJ48 and LordBlunt reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
