  Well, you're Dragon, you're good at winning duels.


You're not suggesting we take a won duel for granted are you... :)  Everybody 
*else* takes for granted that we'll win the duel, but we shouldn't be cocky
...

I'm with you here, Puck.  The funny thing in my experience is how my local 
scene waffles on the best way to approach the Lesson.  One tourney, everybody 
thinks "Hey, it's only 3 honor... I strike."  Next tourney, everybody says 
"I've seen you run honor, take the cards."  Then the next time you play they 
just plain don't know what to do.  :)  

I personally feel that a fate slot for 3 honor and a bowed peep, or barring 
that a two(usually three)-card draw, is not a bad thing.  

Just my thoughts,
