The Poor Man's Robo 'Zilla

This is where I kick a shout out to my homey Giri on the south side of 
da hood.

No Imperial Gift?

>Restoring the Doji Treasury

The really nifty thing about this deck is thet everything is so damn 
cheap, and you may spend alot of your turns not paying any gold at 
all... I have a feeling the a Tresury in this deck may help your 
opponent more than you. Hell, if the master painter wasn't in there, I'd 
even go as far as to say replace the Treasury with a Hurricane.

>2x Togashi Yoshi

Perhaps three? With only two, you're likey to see only one per game, and 
sometimes that extra Yoshi is enough psychological damage just make your 
opponent call strike without thought.

>3x Sanctified Temples
>3x Gold Mines
>2x Hiruma Dojos

You may want to just make this 3 Hawks and 2 Temples. The deadly Taka 
tricks can get very expensive if you only have Temples to work with 
(sadly, you'll only see your painter perhaps 1/3 of the time in a 
serious competition), and this also lowers your ratio of "SH Only" 
holdings. 


>1x Biting Steel

Why one? Why any? It throws your focus a little more off kilter. With 
the Yoshi's, putting in 3 Entrappings is perhaps the most 1 focus-value 
cards you want.

>Items:
>2x Tetsubo

Here's an odd thought: The Ancestral Armor. With 6 Shugenja and such few 
people, that could actually be really viable, and make those Iaijutsu 
Duels easier. Plus four focus isn't bad. But it's expensive, and perhaps 
you just wanna drop in another tetsubo?

>3x An Exhibition

(looks around stupidly) Er... what's the focus on this? Heheh...(blush)

>2x Unrequitted Love

This is actually a decent tactic against Unicorn, I'm surprised I don't 
see it more. They either have to bow someone, or lose 2-3 honor (or even 
4 if it's Momma Maho Kamoko). Gives ya more breathing time.

>2x For the Empire

If you need to make room, I'd say this is the first thing to cut. 
There's next to no mean SL people to worry about anymore... least I 
don't think so.

>2x Rallying Cry

Might I suggest putting Counterattack in this slot instead? Surprise 
factor is alot better, and 4 focus to boot. Where rallying cry is 
useless if you don't have enough force to run them over, Counterattack 
can be used ot kick them while they're down. Typically you'll have the 
favor or Refugees to use if you don't have any defenders to use 
afterwards.

Just my 2 koku, though. It looks rather solid, for the "Govment Cheese" 
version of Mecha Dragon.

I like that name alot btw. >:)
