Hello!

If I were to build things, here is what I would change.

1. Rally to the Cause instead of Elemental Fury. Unless you really need a ring for some reason. Being able to switch a the conflict type can be devastating

2. Way too many holdings. I wouldn't put more than 4 in there, and even then I personally prefer Favorable Ground to the storehouse.

3. Only one copy of Doji Challenger makes me sad I really enjoy her versatility, especially when she is honored.

4. I personally never play Above Question. Not many of our characters are so critical that they must be defended (unless you end building a super unit) and there are relatively few events that target an opponents character that is worth worrying about

I dont really care about any of those situations, Dare. No one can dishonor my Champ faster than I can re-honor her and assassination has never killed anyone important. If I didn't want any of these to happen I have 6 counter-spells and 3x characters who negate anything I dont want. Relatively speaking, Above Question is just taking up space from better cards.

As for Kaezin, his duel does suck, but I like his stats. 3/2 with 2 glory can get some work done. I wouldn't scoff at putting him at 2x in a deck
