@Panos: I am not coming to Greece, until yesterday I was under the impression that this weekend the Toulouse kotei was being held. In January the AEG website published the Kotei list and I booked flights and wrote it on my calender next to me on the wall. Now I see that in February the date was corrected. Thumbs up for non-refundable flights...
Ikoma Turbo Honor? You mean like Faber played in Dublin? That I beat 2-0?

@Hida Oni: Dissenion is card draw and sometimes an ace in the sleeve. Unwanted kills terrains and the random Utemaru that can screw me quite badly. Plus "I play in clan only, so everybody who play ooc should be punished

"
@Genji: Never got screwed in Maastricht, in Sheffield once. The cycle helps prevent it, and about gold flood. The majority of the holdings refill face up, so getting holdings at any stage of the game is not bad. Barracks are always good, Bazzar and Farms refill, and Tsukune refills the rest, so if you get a holding past midgame, you flip or get a Barracks, both are fine.
I defend quite a lot with the deck at the beginning, to be honest the perfect turn 3 is to buy 5 holdings (have done this numerous times now

).
Fury? Does not really hurt, especially now that Kaoru is out.
Duelling? Quite an easy matchup. Determination? How does this card affect this deck at all? I can still delay.
Insight is very flexible and different all the time, sometimes you need to dig for follower or 3 Stone. As often as possible though I use it on my opponent.
@Hida Tadama: 7 Followers is fine, with the draw you have. The gold in the deck works just fine, as with the farms you buy them in mid/late-game by bowing 2 goldings...
Run short of battle actions? The follower ones are the best, and reusable, thats the whole point. The deck just has to give the followers and move and drop 3 Stone, the rest is draw and cycle...
