Ca ne sera peut être pas beaucoup joué, mais ca reste plus polyvalent que les autres doom (grue et lion).
Pour surge, ca ne m'a pas l'air de marcher, l'entrée du perso n'est pas considérée comme une entrée en jeu (et heureusement)

si je me souviens bien, tu ignore les effet d'entré en jeu, mais je ne me souviens plus du wording exact

Ce n'est pas compté comme une entrée en jeu.

Rise of the Shogun Previews: Regions and Ronins
August 30, 2006

Sadly, we are now down to the «last, but not least» category of Rise of the Shogun previews. I’ d like to take a moment to say that this has been a great ride for the past couple of weeks, previewing what is widely regarded to be a solid expansion set for the Lotus environment. With only three Unaligned Personalities and two Regions left to discuss, let’ s see what they have to offer.

Ninube Chisai
3F/4C
- HR, 6G, 0PH
Unaligned Ninja ¥ Duelist
Reaction: After a duel ends that Chisai was in: Put the bottom card of your Fate deck into your hand.
«The Ninube have been driven from Otosan Uchi, but they have not been destroyed. Not yet.»- Asahina Sekawa

Toku Butaka
3F/4C
2HR, 6G, 3PH
Monkey Clan Samurai ¥ Magistrate ¥ Hero
Open: Copy a boldface trait on a target Personality in any discard pile.
Reaction: After an action targets Butaka, give him a -1C Exhaustion token: Negate the effects of the action.
The alliance of Minor Clans grows stronger each day, with the Oriole and Bat joining their ranks. Together, they wield considerable resources.

I find Butaka to be an interesting card, as I might be able to slot him into a Unicorn deck as well as a Lion Hall of Ancestors deck. With HOA, it’s easy to see Butaka being immediately useful, since he’s essentially a 3F/4C Tactician for 6G (or two Holdings, however you prefer to rationalize his cost). 3F plus the Tactician ability is a pretty good deal. And while you might not gain the 3PH when paying in full, at least he has a high PH for your Fate deck to exploit. Lastly, his Exhaustion tokens are GREAT for cancelling those pestky Battle actions once he wages war for you.

The other use I see - while a bit more abstract - is trying to implement him into a Unicorn deck. Again, he has high PH, so that’ s good. You can give him the Cavalry trait as long as someone is in your discard pile (which should be easy since he doesn’ t have to be «Honorably Dead», just discarded), and he has the Magistrate trait. Is the Exhaustion token ability worth going out of clan? Maybe. I’ m going to explore it to see what it’ s worth. Overall though, Butaka will likely find a good home in several decks - even if it’ s only for a copy or two.

Consider him a «buy.»

Usagi Genchi
3F/3C
- HR, 4G, 2PH
Hare Clan Yojimbo ¥ Samurai ¥ Oni-Slayer
Battle: Bow Genchi: Destroy a target Oni card opposing Genchi.
«They say the only thing more horrifying than his scars is what remained of the oni that gave them to him.» - Fuzake Sekkou

Believe it or not, I’ m not crazy about Genchi. Why? Because his ability is too specific. He is so off the «meta» chart that I would never be able to justify removing another Personality in my Dynasty deck to make room for him. Oni no Akuma? Sure he’ ll be a problem. HotDamn! getting strongher with ROTS? Most certainly. But to include Genchi for 10% of the opposing field? Hmn, not for me.

Consider him a «pass.»

Assembly Grounds
Singular
Reaction: After assigning or moving a Personality, bow this card and pay 3 Gold: Attach an Infantry Follower to the Personality for 7 less Gold.
«When the Emperor makes his decree against the Lost, we strike.» - Hida Kisada

Ho-lee-cow. Let me get this straight: I assign; I pay 3G; then I gain 4G more out of it for a Follower? Sign me up. Yes, it’ s too bad it’ s Singular. This kind of card makes me hate the Singular trait all the more. I hope in the next environment we can be rid of both the Singular trait AND Regions of Rokugan - if just to have Uniques and non-Uniques again. This could have been a perfect card to build a deck around entirely - but instead it falls just short due to the design-crutch that is «Singular.»

All things considered, this is a «buy» for 6-8 clans.

Bamboo Thickets
Singular
All Personalities at a battlefield in this Province have the Duelist trait and the ability, «Battle: Bow this card: Challenge an opposing target Personality to an unrefusable duel.»
The Unicorn discovered, to their disgust, that fighting the Nezumi in the forest is impossible.

Yeah ! it’ s kinda cool. I’ m sure defensive decks will love this. But will they make room for it? You tell me. I wish it was «this Province and adjacent Provinces» just to give it more oomph - but that might make it overpowered.

Consider this a «maybe.»

Encore une carte utilisable uniquement (ou presque) par les Scorpions, dommage

Ben il suffit de lire le flavor text.
Et qui c'est qui a des courtisans ? Et qui peut jouer avec des Focus de 1 ?

Sinon, joli lapsus révélatur Kaze-san
