    With a Little Help From My Friends – Ottawa Kotei Report

    Following my 3-4 record at the Feeding Hills Kotei, I was happy with the Seawatch Castle deck, but wanted something more. Looking at the Crane decks that had won Kotei already, I was happy to see a fair amount of differences between them. Comparing them with each other and against my playstyle, I figured . . . → Read More: With a Little Help From My Friends – Ottawa Kotei Report

    Dishonor vs Honor

    Yes this is a tired old topic, but while the game rules remain the same, with honor and dishonor competing over the same resource it is never going to go away. Much about L5R is great, in particular how 3 of the victory conditions interact, but that red headed step child that has grown . . . → Read More: Dishonor vs Honor

    Return to Candy Castle – NE Kotei Report

    Where to start? If you are poster or avid reader of The Home of the Crane Clan forums, you know that I’ve been a big fan of the dishonor decks now available to the Crane since I got to play an earlier version at the NH Winner’s Choice event back in 2010.

    Over the past week we have seen the final lead up, conclusion, fallout and celebration over Legend of the Five Ring’s second MegaGame, The Empire’s Glory.

    Yogo Kazunori or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Netdeck.

    Let’s get this out in the open right away: I am a much better player of L5R than I am a deck builder for it. While a few other articles for this blog have revolved how I build decks and decks I have built, I have no shame in saying they are, more often . . . → Read More: Yogo Kazunori or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Netdeck.

    Phenomenal Cosmic Power!

    With almost a year behind them now, I figured it was time to take a look at the newest card type for L5R, the Celestial. Whether you run one, two or their Event counterpoint, The Lost Path, it’s rare to find a deck that has not taken them in to account when being designed . . . → Read More: Phenomenal Cosmic Power!

    Hitting the Sauce – Alcohol & L5R

    I’m sure that with the on going Empire at War previews that are happening over the next week and the massive amount of buzz GenCon is generating, there will be more than a fair share of rants over the next fortnight, and while I generally try to avoid internet venting myself, there has been . . . → Read More: Hitting the Sauce – Alcohol & L5R
