Ring of the Void

Astonishing Accusation for the mirror and maybe Bad Kharma for the mirror and the military matchup. Maybe, Inexorable makes sense with Yasuki palaces (canceling Height/Know no Fear, Snow)

Heir's Wrath can be good, when you start controlling the favor.

RoE and RoF are also good.

[Hida Taiboku]

Dynasty side maybe Rebuilding the Empire? It's very timing-sensitive but it's a gamble worth taking because it tends to equal a win against military and honour if it does pop at the right time.

In the fate I'd be tempted to look at Shameful Rebuke over Inexplicable Challenge. I like to overload with send-home in Yasuki.

Peace is worth it for Peddler or an extra Den, and a dynasty shuffle. Request Authorization synergises well with the SH ability and allows you to say "Request Denied!", so yeah.

I'm not sure that Searching for Answers is all that great. It creates presence, but the next battle action will probably kill/send home your guy. That can let you use a Words have Strength/Power of a Word, but is 3 honour loss worth two cards from hand and a dead personality?

*takes notes* Why do some Yasuki decks run like 10 personalities as opposed to this one (which I like!)?

[HidaHayabusa]

I guess it's all about the 'keeping it as faceless as possible' to fit more events. I don't like the low personality count also, and I'd like to have a constant production of at least 2 people per turn, which is something that this deck can do easily.

I'm really happy with this personality line up. The only real change I might consider is swapping Tono for Demiyah.

Hell, I'm happy with the Dynasty in general. Though Willing Spirits could just as easily be Minor Blackmail, or possibly Rebuilding the Empire as Taiboku suggested, or maybe something else.

It seems the biggest suggestion so far is for meta cards. I'll see what cards seem to be weak, and then try the meta cards in those slots.

[Hida Izanagi]

Rebuilding has won me many games in the past, so I'm not sure if I'd ever be able to take it out. I still don't like Rentatsu, but I know he works for some people.

As for Fate side, I'd try and squeeze in RoF. Our courtiers have decent Chi, and killing a big unit is always worthwhile.

[HidaHayabusa]

Rebuilding the Empire should be in, and Benefices of the Emperor as well. At least until people realise how to dicard against it.

[Hida Izanagi]

Everytime I play it locally, it's just discarded. So I took it out for Disgraced, or something.

[HidaHayabusa]

Makes sense. Most of the times, it's an event that reads "you and your opponent discard a card". Not bad, but I guess you can find better things to play.
