[BtD] A Dragon's Favor (Spell)
« on: April 21, 2011, 03:38:17 AM »
From Kyuden Mantis.

A Dragon's Favor
Spell
0G

Thunder.
While this Shugenja is Thunder, he has +1C.

Battle: Bow this card: Ranged Attack with strength equal to this Shugenja's Chi.

"The power our shugenja now possess is wondrous and terrible, but we must never become reliant upon it. If it were revoked, I would not have my clan flounder in its absence." -Yoritomo Naizen

Why don't you let us vote the mantis stuff?  ;)

For the card, 1c may be good for some dueling or enlightenment tricks, but I don't know if this is enough to see play, although it is a RA 4 most of the time.

Tetsuro, you copied the flavor text wrong.  :P

They wrote "founder," not flounder.

And shockingly enough, that's not even a typo. In this context, to "founder" is a verb meaning to fail due to an unforeseen problem.

Dunno why they felt they had to pull out the Thesaurus for this one...

I copy pasted. I claim innocence.  Don't try and founder my reputation, Spooky!

What can I say? I found your post founded on on foundered fact, and I floundered to forget. Far forgive me for being facetious!

That post just smells of five day old, sun baked carp.  Oh, wait, you said founder, not flounder.  The eyes see what they want to see, that's my defense.

Founder is more commonly used in naval terminology, so it's not entirely out of place being said by a Mantis.

The word flounder is actually believed to be a fusion of the word flounce with founder.
