Bad news is that looks like we lose the start with a ring in play. > I have no idea on the stats. If we had been able to keep the ring, we would have had stats like 3/2/2 IMO =) I don't know if we'll get another ability (in case the 2 sensei rumor is true), or maybe being able to attach any sensei, ignoring clan limitations (who knows ?) ; being able to attach 2 sensei could lead to very potent decks, with the good combos, even if I can't see the ultimate one at the moment (Shoju + Yoshi slooooows honor quite a bit, though). Let's see what comes out of F&S ... As for the monk strategy at S@M, the possibilities are : 1/ Enlightenment : very fast, but now often metagamed against. You can't always prevent a Doom of the Brotherhood ... You won't have the advantage of surprise you would have had one year ago - don't plan your entire deck around Finding the Harmony, there are quite a number of cards that'll screw you in that case. 2/ Military : the other strong way to go, and more surprising than enlightenment. You could play a Water Monk ETH, for instance, boosts/free followers, Yoshun, Maseru, Shioda, ... ; I don't know how it would fare, but I don't think it would be so ridiculous. 3/ Honor : the least powerful way, now that honor has been so reduced ; Shioda, Wayan, Temple to Shinsei would make the basis of the deck. If I were to choose a deck (I won't have to, there's no S@M in this country ...), I'd go with military (mainly to change from enlightenment - I'd say in the current environment, enlightenment and military are about as powerful, if you take into account the metagaming - of course, this depends where you play), supposing you want to win. Why would you want to win BTW ? For monks to lose a personality ? ;) Baah, we monks don't care about this concept of seppuku and assisting Hitomi ! ^_^ Gen, kenku monk * Kolat " Why a mouse when it turns around ?

On the second line of this message is the "Reply to" address from the message you _just_ sent, Gen. It would appear that this list has had its "Reply" address changed. This needs to be remedied, before we "swamp" this Edge with the not-so-prolific mail on this list of late. Who's the List Magistrate? Toritaka Genaru Falcon Clan Scout. Crab Clan Samurai.

I'm a moron. The last few replies to brotherhood messages got sent to the wrong list (damn you, copy/paste!).
