Didn't Zoushi also give a nice force penalty to the opposing dude?

Honestly, I never really considered Zoushi for military decks because it removes one of your personalities from the battle but the opponent is still there.  Even with the -4 force to an opposing personality, the ability never made me feel like it was helping me take a province.  This new guy does. 

Run away tech is not a bad thing and neither is -4F.  IMO if Zoushi could perform his action from anywhere and/or while bowed he would see a lot more play.

So by "more relevant than it sounds", you meant "Less relevant than it sounds"?
It is more relevant than most flavor keywords.

No, I meant that the Iron Crane trait may not sound very relevant, but it has relevance.

Not sure why we're stuck on this...  :-\

if he wasn't a goofy 8 G he'd be playable. 6g for his force and action is just not good enough.

7G printed and your addition slacks, he'd be one of the best crane scouts as he doesn't care about recons.

masafuni on the other hand is what zoushi SHOULD have been. So now we have him. R.I.P Zoushi. I'll defend a provice with you; if i win a kotei :)

I am hoping that Iron Crane starts to get some support like Battle Maiden or Deathseeker or whatever.  Target your Iron Crane and some enemy chump:  Do something worthwhile.

I agree. Hopefully in EE we'll see the Iron Crane keyword become more useful other than with Akagi.

Regarding Zoushi, while I do use him in my Military Scout deck, it's mainly for his Force. His ability is useful, IMO, but I don't remember it being a game changer. I wish his gold cost was cheaper too.

Like an additional effect of, "If your performing Samurai is an Iron Crane, gain 2 honor" or "..., take an additional battle action."

I've been playing around with a Crane Commander deck that utilizes Zoushi and Yaichiro (since Zoushi targets a performing personality, the combo works well), but its just not quite on par with anything tournament worthy.

I think the Iron Crane will mostly continue to be what it is (a fluff trait) but it would be nice to see them have more interactions with each other, much like what Akagi does now.

He's a fine addition to the scouts and I will have him! Also, I believe it was stated that each theme will get 4 cards per set with 4 themes per clan that means having iron crane be on cards will reduce useful cards for the rest of the clans. It might not seem like a big deal but when I read all the cards that say deathseeker or beserker or battle maiden, I sigh and toss them to the side.

I think there should be more cards that target samurai or just scouts so we get better combos across the board. I hate that there is a "that deck" and only that deck that wins. If the cards are less restrictive we will stray away from the Magic the Gathering syndrome.

So I like Akagi effecting iron crane but please no fate cards that do it!
