Faint Praise
0GC
Open: Before the next time this turn a player gains honour during his Dynasty Phase or from one of his actions, he loses that amount of honour instead of gaining it.
Mockery is a fine art. The listener must know he is being snubbed, but must also not be given basis for vendetta.

Wow. This card does two things, in my opinion. It simultaneously powers up Dishonour by quite a bit, as well as kicks Honour in the face. It can be ignored, true, but it gives Dishonour some breathing room to put the boot in. Low honour Clans are going to feel this the most, I think, and I am very certain I'm going to hate on this card very, very much.
Edit: Shit, I just noticed it isn't performed, so no getting around this. However, it also means that it's the poor man's Only Actions Speak or Proper Deference, since anyone (including Oni) can use it.

Nasty. Still, can't begrudge the Scorpion getting something useful for their dishonor decks, they've had it rough this Arc.

Guess we just have to be careful with how much we kill in battle resolution after this is played.

Battle resolution is neither of these.

This card is crap for Scorpion. Seriously.
There's not slots enough in the fate do include a card that MAYBE will cause a 2 honor swing. Only Actions Speaks is way better.

Would be sweet if it was a reaction to when an action was announced.

It's looks decent. It will make an Honor runner think carefully if he wants to actually gain the Honor that turn or not. It could buy the user of this card that extra bit of time to win the game.

An interesting strategy...
I see honor decks using this against other honor decks more than Scorpion and Spider.

Unfortunate Incident is better than this for Honor Runners.
