It's "dig through your whole Fate deck in the course of a 5-turn game" good.

Yeah, I also have the feeling that this is better than I thought at first. After all, you will have some cards in your deck that fit your current matchup perfectly, and with this you increase your chance to see this one card considerably.
Just as an example, if you are able to play Rhetoric 3 times (or even more with Jurojin and/or Doji), it becomes very easy to win the honor matchup ;)

Either way we're still drawing 2 cards. And this means my fate decks are likely going to be 37 + a set of these. When has card draw ever been a bad thing?

Someone else who understand that this card is VERY good.  "My cards are better than yours.  Go ahead and draw that card...  It won't matter."  Unless you have this attitude, you have already lost.  ;)

Should work well with Scout/Courtier dishonor. :D

If you think "my cards are better than yours" in this environment don't expect to spend too much time at the top tables in EE.

If you manipulate your deck (reshuffles, top deck looking, etc.) then this would be better for you than your opponent because you have a little bit of a deck stacking mechanism.

If you're playing Crane in EE atm, your cards are most definitely not better than your opponents' ;)

But we gots all the duels!  :P

Eh, I'm actually running this in my dueling/magistrate switch deck.  I'm not running it in scouts, though.  I haven't built anything else though.

Maybe not, but as far as I know, all our honour winnning cards give little honour, so if you wanna rocket, you gotta draw like a mad man =P

My cards are prettier, therefore they are better. CRANE LOGIC!

Everyone please trust me. This is the worst card you can possibly field. Unless your board control is extremely strong, then you're just hurting yourself with this card.

It is hardly the worst card you can field, but it is certainly a disappointing courtesy.  On the other hand, it does make it easy to play the Ring of Void.

I'm pretty sure this isn't a "bad" card. It has plenty of uses. Granted it helps the opponent but it digs through your deck also.

My friend, I am notorious for loving "bad" cards. Trust me when I say this card is bad. Run bend like a reed instead  ;)

It's true, he bowed out of both previous Online Tourneys when he found out he had to face me and I thought I was worse than him at the time.

I will say that I am a complete convert on this card. Any honor Crane deck should run this as a 3x. If it was limited it would be worthless, as an Open it's pretty amazing.
