Akodo sensei/ Emperor returns deck

Akodo Sensei/Emperor returns deck

After reading the Superior tactics about the emperor
returns I decided to put together a deck using it.
And seeing as I havent had a chance to put together
a Akodo Sensei deck yet (something Ive wanted to do
since i heard of the card) I decided to try that too.

It is primarily an honour runner, the personalities
chosen for 3+ chi and good personal honour, except for
Ukira whos chosen for his topaz champion trait although
the dueling abilty will be useful.

Unfortunately Shinseken and Yuyake wont get the
tactician trait from the sensei, shinseken as hes a
shugenja and yuyake as hes only 2 chi.
Both are there as they are 2ph for 4 gold, shinseken
is also needed for winds truth, as were playing
temples of the new tao he isnt ever going to be
defending and without tactician he cant tactical
maneuvers so his 0 force doesnt matter that much, he
can be used for twt and as a favour monkey.
yuyake while hes only 2 chi and so wont be attacking
makes a great defender at the temples being a 5 force
personality who can increse the province strenght by 2.

the gold structure is a bit rough

3 gold mines
3 sanctified temples
3 jade works
charter
3 small farms

1 Fields of the Sun (everyone of our personalities that
                             dies here gets us 2 honour)
3 temples of the new tao
                    (defense through superior force)
dragons strenght    (hopefully this will work giving
                     all our personalities +1 +1)
inheritance
imperial gift
birth of the sword (all three are free honour basically)


Fate

the military bits
3 tactical maneuvers
3 white shore plains
3 emperor returns
3 strenght of purity
3 rallys

the duels for honour and pk
3 challenges
3 duels
3 Come One at a Time

defence
3 refugees
3 block supply lines
3 luring tactics

anti honour/dishonour
3 winds truth
2 enough talk

rov is great
1 ring of void

early game should be defensive honour runner, middle game defensive
honour runner with force in defense with the occasional tactical maneuvers
attack, by the end we should be able to either finish them off militarily or
sit back and break 40.
