Posting this as an example of what I was messing around with (and just made minor edits too). Far from perfect, but it gets the job done. I tend to bounce between this and a similar version that splashes Phoenix.

Keeper or Seeker role?

Kaezin is garbage and Cautious Scout is amazing. You appear to have got them mixed up

I agree Kaezin sucks, but you're gonna have to sell me on Cautious Scout. Even with all my swords he never seems to be in a position to do his shtick.

Stick one sword on him he breaks most provinces (or Banzai).

Also, most provinces are "When Revealed" effects. Best way to burn them? Push him into the facedown province.

Also 2 cost is much better than 3 cost.

EDIT: Tonight's episode of Troll5R touches on this too

I'd play Mirumoto's fury instead of that daisho.



Just wondering guys, as I see it we have a choice to make here with Crane. As the clan is really politically-oriented should we play some stuff like weapons/banzai in order to make it for our lack of military skill or should we focus on political conflict, even if it means letting go of the military one?

I mean, more like a political glasscanon. Focusing on our strength rather than compensate our weakness.
