I have met the person that I'm going to call the self appointed envoy of the dragon clan, and since I am a fellow Dragon he gave me a fake tattoo sleeve to rep the monks. I just had to find the right like to stand in to talk to fellow enthusiasts. Also his monk costume is p. good.

I finished 4-3, one win AND some strength of schedule away from Hatamoto. I just don't have the stamina for twelve hours of L5R. Also it's significantly less fun to play at the higher levels where people play head games to try to mess you up.
My last game I conceded so the other player could get his Hatomoto. Partially because that's cool, but mostly because he was really not fun to play.

Aside from constantly begging for a concession, I noticed one player using pass phrasing inconsistently in a way to try to get me to miss phase triggers. I'm careful to state which phase and sub phase I'm in, and he'd pass by saying he was passing a different phase, then watch me carefully to see if it'd cause me to accidentally tip him off what kind of actions I might take two phases down the line. Mostly all in the pre conflict, conflict declaration shenanigans.

Would call someone on that kind of thing so hard. What an insufferable personality type.
I went to two Imperial Summons events last week, the Saturday one had a really good turn out for a low key event. I went undefeated at both playing Crab, the clan definitely have my heart right now. Even if I am enjoying trying out others to understand them and get more familiar with the card pool.
Do I build Crane or Scorpion to learn this week?

I'm thinking of building a Phoenix, either to replace my Crab splash in Unicorn for the fun of it or outright to figure out ring manipulation.

I feel like Phoenix is going to end this cycle "most improved." Shrine Maiden is already great for them, Censure should be good, and Benten's Touch is great.

I agree, but only because I'm fucking sick of all the people calling Unicorn crap until 1 card comes out that suddenly makes us "good"
I've decided that Phoenix isn't actually good, it's just that every fucking card is a novel, so they're a challenge to play against because you'll never remember the various eight abilities on every card that only apply during this ring but not that, etc.

I'm not sure how a 0 cost +4/+4 and having every attack be Void are not good.
While racing light mechs, your Urbanmech comes in second place, but only because it ran out of ammo.
Oh hey, Shinjo Shono. THERE's a name I havn't thought about in ages.
Unrelated to that, I'm debating whether to talk about the playtest leaker that got, as we would say in the ANR thread, tag & bagged.
Since they had some interesting... things... to say in regards to what's coming up in the next couple of cycles, and in regards to the first couple of Deluxe expansions.

Is there some place I can find this leak that isn't like 4chan?

I made like Kisada and waded into the Shadowlands at great peril to my own soul to find the answers. (And a new dog for the Emperor.) The general gist: (Note: So much salt must be taken with anything in here.)
First deluxe will be a Phoenix expansion. One of the new strongholds will involve recycling spells, one will be a dishonor stronghold based off claiming the Air ring.
For those who were wanting a Enlightenment win con, apparently there'll be a card in there that works towards it. The card will sit in play and gains tokens every time you claim a ring. If it gets to 10, you win.
In regards to the second cycle, Mantis personalities start showing up. (Which is all that matter, really.) Keyword-only, a Stronghold that makes them in-faction for 'em comes later. Supposedly will have a ranged attack mechanic that can gank people with no fate or attachments.
Shadowlands/Lost start showing up in the third cycle, same as Mantis with a Stronghold coming later. Supposedly Shadowlands cannot gain or lose honor, and every time you reveal, the other player gains a extra honor.
As I understand it the second Deluxe will be a box to flesh out those two factions with cards.
The third will be a Lion deluxe. One of the Lion Strongholds will be a honor one that gets you 3 honor each time you break a province.

While as someone considering maining Phoenix for competitive play I find the idea of making my Wizard deck even more rediculious enticing, I find the idea of doing one clan focus per deluxe to be a bit questionable unless they are going to come out far more quickly than I understand they have in the past. Will people from whichever clan gets stuck in last place be willing to wait that long?
Played Dragon vs Unicorn today. Was actually quite close as I was three provinces down myself when I dishonored him out with the Air ring.

If they do faction boxes the way they've been doing it for GoT it'll be 50% primary faction 50% the rest and neutrals. Still pretty unbalancing, but better.

Yeah, had that happen to me too. Not sure how to counter it yet...
When you get in the expo hall go all the way to the left. Look for the big pokeball and then go on the other side of that shop area.
As is tradition.

Sorry, can you clarify?

It may not mean much, but write an email to FFG OP. Given the large influx of players, they need to keep that shit from happening.

The Crab player is the one who took over from me as challenger at Worlds. Properly dedicated guy to game and clan.
I’ve been tempted to slap a Crab deck together, just havn’t had time to work on it or make it out to any events other than that Summons the other day.
Would be nice if the local stores would actually schedule the launch events more than a week ahead of time so we can actually plan around them.
Also just got a notice that the pre-order of Battle for Rokugan was going to be shopping soon?

On the other hand, the "leak" created a lot of social media buzz. And then this catches up people following the official site but not leaks.

Crane. For sure.
Phoenix if you're feeling clever.
Crane if you're dead inside.
