Courts of the Crane Clan

This card is truly atrocious. For 15 gold you get 4f and not even a proactive action. Seriously, doesnt come close to replacing harpoon or going in decks.

Would you pay 10g for a 2/2 harpooner?

Might be the first Crane-with-a-Battle-action I'm not crazy about. That Invest cost, ugh.

With the invest:

+2F +2C
permanently give her Cavalry.

Battle: Target a Personality at any location Move him here. Straighten him if you do not control him.

A cav peep who can drag in a friend from anywhere. handy for unopposed sleaze.

Anything less than 10g invest and people would be bitching that crane scouts needed perma banning for her alone.

say if it was at 5g invest. Thats 10g total for 4 force, cavalry and bring a friend. Non-unique. Just saying.

I think the Invest probably should've added another keyword (like Resilient, Iron Crane, or Stalwart) and another training token. 5/5 for 15 sounds more than fair. The ability is really strong for a non-unique with the Invest. She is, at least, well-costed for her base version's stats & ability.

Even at 10G total for the 4/4 cav and ability she wouldn't be autoinclude, just mostlyinclude.

The fact is for that gold my guys need to be big force and have a kill action. Dark Naga is 1 less gold, 2 more force, 2 more chi, and kills things. And has another ability too.

The 5G version is "ok", but if you're investing this person you're either so far ahead, or so far behind, that literally any person would have the same effect.

Mechanically it's an interesting Personality, and as others have said the whole idea of using Invest to make a sort of early game/late game dude instead of just being a kicker is pretty cool. However in this case its a swing and a miss.

She is awful.
By the time you pay 15g to snipe a province you could have already just taken a province. I would rather play Tsuruchi Kaito for 8 out of crane then this REDACTED.

That's some inappropriate language you've got goin' on there. Remember that AEG has a global Code of Conduct regarding interaction regarding online behavior in their online communities, which we are a part of. - K. Shiro

Not sure what to think of her. Printed harpoon is nice but the Invest is too pricey. Not investing means her ability becomes so-so. Will stick to Gensai/Kinta for now.
