[clayton janes]

Hello Everyone,

In a few weeks my friend and I are heading down to NC to participate in o=
ur=20
second kotei of the season.  My friend Kyle is going to do the LARP as we=
ll.

I just wanted to get some ideas from you guys about the deck that I'm=20
thinking of running.  The list I've included is the deck that i ran at th=
e=20
Kotei in CT, which I went 3-3 in the swiss, and then got second the Seaso=
n=20
of the Lion that followed.   2 of my losses where partially due to my pla=
y=20
errors (I'm pretty new to competitive play and l5r in general) and my las=
t=20
loss was due to a poor draw in my match up when i was 3-2.  I also got=20
second during a season of the lion at the local shop (3 hours away, yay T=
he=20
KEEP).  I lost to a beefy crab deck that was running armor of the sun tao=
. =20
its hard to win when you cant take battle actions :(

I was wondering your thoughts on my deck ( which is larely based on the d=
eck=20
from the Tao of the Headpunch )  my friend got the deck list after he pla=
yed=20
the guy at the chancelor trouney in CT.  ive modified it a bit sence...

This is pretty much the deck.   I'm doing it a bit from memory because I'=
m=20
messing around with enlightenment right now and I don't have the cards to=
=20
keep multiple decks going.

Shiro Mirumoto
Toturi Tsudao

Dynasty: 40

3x Gold Mines
3x Hiruma Dojo
3x Jade Works
3x Trading Grounds
3x Sanctified Temple
1x Temple of the Dragon

I think I like 2 ST and 2 KTT instead of TotD.  the exta draw can be nice=
=20
though.

1x Ki-Rin's Shrine (exp)

2x Tamori Chosai
3x Tamori Chieko
3x Mirumoto Rosanjin
3x Togashi Nyima
2x Mirumoto Tsuge
1x Togashi Matsuo
1x Togashi Satsu
1x Togashi Hoshi (exp2)
1x Hitomi Kagetora (exp)
1x Doji Reju (exp2)

probably too many expencive guys, matsuo is the new guy and im liking him=
 so=20
far.  awesome against the dueling defence.

3x Campsite   think sorrows path would be better?

against the waves and canceling send home is nice. :)

the versatility of this deck is great but its also a weekness.  i usually=
 do=20
pretty well against military decks. but i have  a hard time with honor=20
runners.  especially if i cant get an early province to slow down their=20
development.


thanks much,
clay
