Take one of the more annoying younger players... *ahem* Is this really one of the conditions? Seems a bit light to me. >Gather the Horde: Bring all the Personalities in your deck into play. This makes up for the previous one. This will be a toughie, especially since honour decks don't wait that long and military decks can destroy provinces holding personalities. >March on Rokugan: Destroy at least six of your opponent's Holdings. This isn't too bad, just a little strange. I guess Occupied Terrain may finally see some use. >Fu Leng battles the Thunders: At the end of the game, control at least six >of your opponent's Personalities. > Hidden Heart of Iuchiban, Kolat Master, Kolat Recruiter, spells that bring cards back as undead - tough, but doable. I've commented on the Brotherhood conditions previously. >Brotherhood >Shinsei defeats the guards: Win at least five duels with one Personality who >has no Items attached. >Shinsei reveals the Tao: Win by Enlightenment >Journey to the Shadowlands: Win by Honor without losing or destroying a >Province. >Battle Fu Leng: Win a battle in which you have assigned seven different >Personalities, each representing one of the seven Great Clans (Crane, Crab, >Dragon, Lion, Phoenix, Scorpion, and Unicorn). > >You have to win the game as well, for it to count. > Thanks for sending these. This would definately make some interesting games and bizarre decks! - -Shosho Mercenary & Mujina Wrangler * You received this message because you're subscribed to brotherhood * To send a message, mail brotherhood@flwyd.dhs.org To unsubscribe, * mail brotherhood-request@flwyd.dhs.org with a body of unsubscribe ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 28 Mar 2000 15:40:53 -0800 (PST) From: =?iso-8859-1?q?Brendon=20Bennetts?= Subject: Re: [Brotherhood] Empire League > >Gather the Horde: Bring all the Personalities in > your deck into play. > > This makes up for the previous one.

If you are getting some Fire and Shadow, I'd recommend three copies of Maintaining the Balance. It'll also help against things like Led From the True Path and other Ring-discarding effects and it's got a focus value of four. If not, then look for three Avoid Fate or three Dharma Technique. Worst case, if you don't have those cards, is to run with Troll Raiders and/or The Age of Man. Those should be easy to find and will give you at least a little bit of event protection.

Firstly, have you noticed that they changed the wording on the Ring of Earth it now says "...in which the attacking army's force exceeded the province strength at any point and *the army* did not destroy the province..." (starry things added by me) well, what this suggests to me is this Shurin Storms, kiho, R, Honor Bound Cost: 0, Focus: 1 Kiho Elemental Battle Terrain: Bow any one of your Shugenja or Monks at this battle with Chi of 4 or more, to put this Terrain into play. When this Terrain resolves, the attacking and defending armies and all cards attached to this Province are destroyed. If you are the defender, the Province is also destroyed. This Terrain does not resolve unless the caster is still in the battle at the end of the Battle Action Segment. Shioda seems to be the perfect candidate for this, ok, so you still lose the province and stuff, but hopefully you take some guys with you and get the ring out (note, do not try this on your last province) Ok, now a couple of reasons to stick a one or two of this card in your deck; Test of Honor, actions, R, Cost: 6, Focus: 2 Limited: Target Personality must undergo a test of honor. Draw and discard a card from his family's Deck of Fate. If the focus on the drawn card is greater than the honor of the Personality, the Personality dies dishonorably. This card has turned a number of games for me since I started including it in my decks. Most people already have I. Arts in their decks which leave people very vulnerable to one of these (plus test makes them lose a card) and there are times when a bit of personality kill could be real handy. Especially when you can be almost certain it will work, with a little help from Exp. Hoshi Maseru, who can increase their discard by the number of rings you have in play. One more little combo involving our big bad master of Five Takao and this card Reflective Pool, spells, R, Imperial Cost: 1, Focus: 3 Open Elemantal: Bow this Shugenja and destroy this spell to give one of your Personalities the ability to perform an action on any personality in play. This ability goes away at the end of the turn. this is pretty straight foreward, get yourself a second human sword for a turn, could be handy if you need loads of force and chi for something I guess. You can use Reflective pool for loads of other things as well, think about it. Well, those might not be the greatest revelations to you, how about some better ones? And also a question, I.Art isn't Strict-Jade legal (as far as I know) what's the best way to get the ring of fire without it? Thanks for your time Hoshi Brendon if you ask me, Hanoshi looks like he just jumped out of 'Shadowfist' __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
