Carpenter Castle Dishonor

[Bob_No_Oni]

Greetings again all,

I am going to try to have this ready for a tournament this weekend. Let me know what you guys think could change. I know it might be better out of Yasuki Palaces, but I want to try one out of Carpenter Castle and Yasuki Palaces. This is the Carpenter Castle attempt. Thanks for any help.

Sacrifice of Pawns? Jekku is your engine, you need him asap!

No Soshi Yoshihara? She is amazing.

Also, I liked Ryoshun's Guidance. There are few things more annoying that facing an opponent who has 4 Personal Honor guys and you can't Rhetoric it because your Courtiers don't have enough Chi.

Willing spirits may be better for you. Also where is accidental confession? Delayed arrival

Here is what I played yesterday (Saturday, 9 June 2012) at our local tournament, after updating it with suggestions and from playing it. It did really well. Overall, went about 3-1. However, the tournament had a twist, so I actually ended up losing to my deck (this one), 3 times. The twist was switching decks with your opponent. It was interesting. On with the list. I have a couple of other things I am planning on changing but further input is always welcome for the community.
