The Dragon Honor Deck and Shadowlands

[Chainsmoker]

hello dragon players.

sorry to end lurker mode and speak up, but i thought of a couple of
comments.

first, dragon ARE NOT crane, so Ree will damn sure watch what you put in
your decks, the only clan not watched as close are the boys in blue,
apparently the golden haired boy.....honorable dragon will have to be
clean.  second, why put kolat in your deck?  will it fit, in either
military dragon, or military/honor dragon decks kolat will probably not fit
the scheme, and be to counter-productive anyway....you could easily put
more useful, cheaper cards in your fate deck to help you win.  Third, the
12th black scroll, who cares if it is considered a "tainted" item or
whatever, dragon clan won it, deserves it, and gains the biggest benefit
from using it, so why not put it in your deck, no matter what the goal of
your deck is?  if you win by honor, or by military, that item is useful,
and costs nothing for you because you earned it....and if Ree doesnt like
dragon using the item they fought for, then dragon will never do anything
in storyline.

Don't allow Hitomi to become what other clans are saying about her.  Your
cause is good, dont get sidetracked in your deck-building to make your deck
less-effective by putting in cards which will, A) hurt the clan, B) hurt
your chance of winning.  That just doesn't make sense.

Bujun has done so much to help guide you in the ways of bringing dragon
honorable, why let him and the Dragon clan down.  If you want to play
corrupting cards, for God's sake put together a Crane deck and corrupt
them, Lord knows they need to be scaled down a bit.

Thank you for your time.
