Courts of the Crane Clan

We won't see the Geisha until later in the preview cycle. Pretty clearly, this is a card you run if you're running a deck based on them, and that you probably don't if you're not. Kharmic 4/3 isn't awful, and would have been run on its merits in some arcs, but it's not up to the 1:1 ratio standards ...

Ivoery-legal Ports: Coastal Lane, Colonial Harbor, Deep Harbor, Kobune Port, Merchant Atoll Very few decks are or can reliably run the holdover 6/5s, and you'd be daft to try to run this and them in the same deck. So Colonial and Merchant are out of the running. Coastal Lane is interesting, but redu...

Unimpressed. In my eyes, gold producing Fortifications have to do something to really shine in order to make the cut (Honor-producing ones get off a little easier right now due to lack of other options). Back in the day, Empty Crevasse was a solid card because it was an extra clan holding (and becau...

I really wish this guy would of lost yojimbo or the resil keyword and would of been 5G, then he would be solid. I'm tired of the same crane guys over and over 2/3 with crappy keywords for 6G with some weak ass ability. Being pedantic for a moment, the only other 2/3 Crane for 6 in Ivory is Daidoji ...

That's ... subtle. Lion doesn't like losing tempo and being forced to defend, so the drawback isn't much of a drawback. 4G for 4F is pretty darn good, even with zero relevant keywords. On the other hand, 1C is a gamble with the recent batch of chi penalty effects; one Strike as the Earth, and he's o...

The item is almost unplayable until Unsettling rotates out. You could very well just be handing your opponent a bow out card or negate straightening your dude card. Once Unsettling rotates out though, this card has great potential. Agreed. This is my new favorite thing in the world to steal with Un...

This could get really strong, especially since you can play The Samurai Caste DIvides and get it for free. You could also boost it with Voice of Experience and all of that Discipline stuff... plus it has 4 FV so you can discard any other copies you might get for its own effect :) Doesn't work with ...

Resilient is an interesting option ... for decks that are intended to be defensive. Crane scouts are not that. If you're slotting a personality into your scout deck with the intent of using him as a sacrificial defensive speed bump, you're already doing it wrong. There's no reason to run this guy ov...

It might see play. Nothing special I'm a bit more positive about this. Discard is always a high cost, but Progressive itself remains on the board and is reusable. The most important application, in my opinion, is taking note of the Absent keyword and considering this as Unicorn meta, although it's ...
