My opinion:
THIS GOES IN ALL YASUKI DECKS

[Hida Kenshiro]

I am surprised no one has discussed this yet. With all the negation in a yasuki deck, i think this might just be worth the investment. Plus, Yasuki Knives needs a bigger knife.

As I told you on our discussion the other day, discarding cards helps military a lot but doesn't really help control decks. Especially when it's so restricted like that. This needs a dishonorable personality to perform something while opposing the guy with the sword. And even then, he just chooses and discards a card.

If I am facing Yasuki or any other dishonor with a military deck, I certainly have some cards that I don't really care losing, and I can definitely work around this sword. (Sundering Strike, other unperformed actions and certainly just discarding something).

Probably a way to use it is a Kitsuki build with Kitsuki methods and Dragon Honesty focusing on discard. But, I doubt that WED will bother.

The only way I see this Item shining for us is if there's a decent Yasuki Military deck, and preferably out of Hida. And while I'm a huge fan of The First Law of Georgopoulos, which states: "Real world data trumps playtest theory" (Or as some boffins would have you naively call it, "The Scientific Method."), I just can't imagine a way for Yasuki Military to ever have the consistency to be above a 3rd tier deck. And anyone who knows me, knows I love railing against our clan norms when it comes to deck building, so I am open to that discussion, obviously in other threads and whatnot. Having said that, all this, I'll likely be at the event, and if a Crab wins, is there any particular way this is supposed to be swayed? I'm assuming the elephant.

The second being: "Everything plays better out of KHexp".

Its almost tailor made for the deck I want to work.
