WTF? No TST?
Yeah, man, you read right. No TST. I prefer BotD cause it's a free Battle action... all that "Discard a card" stuff on TST doesn't look good to me. I'm not saying that TST is not good, but i prefer having my hand filled of cards. Starting with 0FH is nice too because it boosts my gold scheme by] allowing me to use Secluded Village produce 4 against everybody but Spider and The Maw's Grave.

Try a little harder Siri. We all appreciate your enthusiasm, but look at your posts before posting them. Try reading the post out loud to yourself. It will help you catch many mistakes. -Genji

Dynasty
I don't play A New Wall cause 3 4GC holdings are more than enough cards to risk a gold screw. I also don't like the idea of having a new wall canceled by Forewarning.
Temple of the Seekers is Ring Love for everyone! frequently i manage to play a ring, and destroying a holding to search for another seems good, also i only pay "action gold" for 2 Cards... no need for private trader.
Seikitsu Mountains... i believe it's one of, if not the, better region we have now. The battles tend to resolve at resolution, and running away to fight another day is nice. It permit me to attack with everyone on the same province, intimidate my enemy so he don't defend, and then sendo the excess of force home unbowed.
Damneds = Big Bad Voodoo Daddies...

Fate
Astonishing Resilience: Thinking about cuting it, but i'm sentimental about this one.
Berserker's charge: No one expects... It's great against military decks...
Crippling Cut: I dont trust Refugees, so crippling helps me against those i can't bow.
Dissent: I don't know how, but surprisingly works very well.
Rosoku Staff: Earth and Water comes easily, geting Void or Air then is freaking good.

Matches til now.
Scabbed Pincers 2 X 1 Kyuden Asako Honor Rocket - "Fake Faceless"
Scabbed Pincers 2 X 0 Mountain Summit Temple Military - "Kokujin's Legacy"

Comments are welcome and extremelly apreciated.

I would love to help you but these sentences physically prevent me from doing so......

Alright, I edited it. You can stop being a dick about spelling. Leave that to the mods.

Look, guy, the idea is to write shit down that makes sense. In this case, the original poster did not do so. Comment on the deck, please. -Genji

[Bayushi Siri]

I will never againt submit a topic without reading it first
No more bleeding red text too.

I'm sorry if I sound like a jerk, but all the red text reminds me of highschool lol. I just need some circles, a "try harder next time", and big D at the top and I'll start getting all nostalgic.

I can't do the circles without a lot of work... not that quantity of circles... but i've done the big D


Now, after the necessary corrections, maybe someone could emit some opinions about this deck?

[Kaiu Genji]

Instead of Dissent, why not put Draw your Blade? It can bow any card, not just personalities, and can go through attachments in a pinch.

I'm not sure any of the "Put a Ring into play tech" is necessary or worth it.

But I understand if you are short on card draw.

If the staff can be used effectively it's great...but really, you should always always use it to get Void. Card draw is king.

Instead of Desperate and Eager and 1x Astonishing. (if you are that worried about honor) run 2x Unfortunate Incident and 2x Travelling Ronin. Almost all of your guys have the PH for it and it is a really great card.

Try it!

With all the items/followers, maybe a Shrine to Fukurokujin would be a good idea.

Good luck!

Me be a dick? You don't know me that well sir. I am a swell fella! I wasn't saying anything about his spelling.
I was talking more about his wierd view of not wanting to use Crabs best stronghold because it turns any card
in your fate deck to the best battle action crab have available.

In other words wouldn't anyone use 3 x this action card.
Battle : Target one of your Personalities: Destroy a target unit opposing him with less total Force than your Personality's Force.
Which of you reading this would not consider this action an auto include into any Crab fate deck?
Well TST turns 1 card of your choice each turn into that action. How can you not love it? Oh by the way, its is a FREE battle action.

You run a new wall TO GET THE HOLDINGS YOU NEED.
I don't want to run 2 x Shrine to Funk because it hurts my gold scheme, and singular
I don't want to run 2 x Shrine to Bishomon because it hurts my gold scheme, and singular
I don't want to run 2 x Castle Gates because it could hurt my gold scheme, and singular
but I can run 1 x of each of those and A New Wall and its like I am running 2 of all 3.

Is that a better commentary Genji Gawd of the Mawds? Still not trying to be a dick, just trying to make up for my smart ass post.

In case this continues to boil wrong, please refer to: viewtopic.php?f=15&t=93

Now, keep the party going.

TST isn't totally free, you got to discard a card. BotD is totally free, just target a Crab then you bow an opposing dude keeping all your god blessed cards on your hand.
TST starts with 3 Family Honor and this fact alone means nothing for the Crab because our personalities have 0 Honor Requirement, with BotD 0 starting Family honor i still can buy all my peeps for cheap and boost Secluded Village production and get a Legacy for going second, so my Gold scheme flows better.

Instead of Desperate and Eager and 1x Astonishing. (if you are that worried about honor) run 2x Unfortunate Incident and 2x Travelling Ronin. Almost all of your guys have the PH for it and it is a really great card.

I'll give Travelling Ronin a try instead of desperate and 1x astonishing, but Eager... i don't know. This card has won me so many games thar i've became sentimental about it

Siri,

Are you using all five rings just for their abilities or do you have enlightenment as a side victory?

I only use 4 Rings for their abilities.


Crab enlightment is an old dream of mine... i remember those old days when i played Tani Hitokage Zerker enlightment...
