Haven't gotten to playtest it yet. Any advice would help, not sure about it's weaknesses yet, aside form the obvious ones military has.

[Yasuki Oowari]

First Castle Gate is Unique so drop 1 of them and one of the Bishamons shrine for 2 supply out posts Cause with ten attachments there a pretty great card

also id think about dropping sword of victory for Kumade,

And swap ambush and that extra desperate wager ( you really just want one in the deck)for Draw your blade

[Hida_Marv]

Gah, I always miss that damnable Unique trait if it's on anything besides Personlities. Good call on the Supply Outposts, I think.

DOn't know what I was thinking about no Kumade, they're excellent for this deck.

I'll go with the Draw Your Blades too.

[AdianAntilles]

I would exchange Daruma with Wandering Budoka, Beiden Pass with Otoya and Kumade with Tsi Blade.
Tsi is durable Card Draw, Wandering Budoka is Card Draw with Force and Otoya is Movement AND Force, instead of a third region.

I'd suggest swapping the Lesser Shrines for Secluded Waystations unless you have some reason I'm not seeing for running the Shrines. Also, you only have 1 Legacy Holding, and while you have no real use for the other 3 Legacy Holdings, you might as well run another one. One for going second and one for gold screw. Unfortunately, Seat is Singular. Maybe Supply Smuggler if you go with Supply Outpost. Either way, drop a Village for it. Why Immobile Stance instead of The Crab's Strength?

[Dirty Yasuki]

Pardon me for answering, but maybe it's because Immobile Stance grants a +5F while opposed (which will happen most times) instead of +4F from the Crab's Strength and so long as the unit is outnumbered he is invulnerable to destruction effects, while Crab's Strength does little to prevent the opponent's actions.

I'd use Immobile over Crab's Strength any day.

The Lesser Shrines are for the Scorpion in my playgroup. However, 3 may be a little much. I'm gonna knock'em down to two, and add in two Supply Outposts.

[Hida Gozaemon]

I don't understand immobile stance very well. +5 force and if you win you actually tie, if you lose you lose.

What's so great about this card. Is it all about trapping peeps and PK? Is the idea to use sacrifical units with Immobile stance to kill off the enemy while other units go bag the provinces? Help me out, please...

Well, actually Castle Gate is Singular, which means while you can have 3 in the deck you can only have 1 in play. I generally only run one because I can fetch it with A New Wall if need be. 2 is probably the most you want to have of any Singular holding.

I dislike Sword of Victoy because the 3G produces little "Immediate" results. I like Daruma because of it's gold to force ration (2G for 3F!). Kumade is a possibility, but rather than attaching it I'll be ditching it for the Stronghold Action. (And using Kumade's Reaction to draw a card).

Instead of Sword of Victory, why not a follower like Wandering Budoka (Cards and Force!) or Brothers in Arms (Deck thinning and recursion!)

Just some first thoughts.
