[Promo] Hofukushu's Vengeance (Celestial)
« on: February 26, 2012, 10:17:18 AM »

From the 2012 Kotei Pack:

Hofukushu's Vengeance - Celestial
Fortune * Unique
Reaction:
After the end of an Attack Phase in which you were the Defender, discard this card: Declare an additional Attack Phase against that phase's Attacker, in which you may only assign one Personality.
It is not wise to take the course of a Fortune lightly.

this is i think the first celestial that doesn't have a trait. with that, it's a bit more underwhelming.

I'd consider this. Reusable Ret (but the alternate ret card art is so goooood). One could feasibly drop a weaker guidance, take this, drop down to two ret's fate side.

How are you going to reuse it?

It's not reusable. You have to discard it.

I'm usually wrong on these things, I missed the discard part.  This Vengeance has lost it's appeal. Shouldn't Vengeance be a Dark Fortune?

Maybe Kensai decks might run this....  ???
Like, its a Ret that your opponent can work around because they can see it coming.
I really don't think it will see much play.

I agree. The whole appeal of 'The Perfect Moment' or Retribution is that they are a SURPRISE! This you can see coming and prepare for. I've lost plenty-a-province from The Perfect Moment and Ret before, so I know they are effective, but I was caught off guard with them, which is the purpose.

Overall this seems like a pretty standard Kotei pack... maybe 1 - 2 cards that will see significant play.

I think the fact that Jurojin's can do this exact thing without sucking the rest of the time it is in play doing nothing sums up how I feel about it.  It doesn't even give +1F on the counter attack.
