[dragon] 7 Thunder Dragon Deck (a study on unique personalities and gold structure)

[Daniel]

Shiro Mirumoto
Wind Toturi Sezaru (or not)
Hoshi Sensei

Dynasty:
3x Hiruma Dojo
3x Shintao Library
3x Mystic Dojo
3x Merchant Caravan

note: no jade works or gold mines, they slow the deck down.

1 Trading Grounds
1 Dragon Dancers
1 Gambling House

I found that each of these had a use, but that 2 or more of each got in
the way

Golden Sun Plain

Inheritance
Imperial Gift
The Darkest Magics
Death of Onnotangu
Moon and Sun

Oddly enough, this has always been my first event in any real (non-test)
game.

Tamori Chosai (first turn under Hoshi!)
3 Mirumoto Hitomi
Mirumoto Hitomi exp
Hitomi exp2
Hitomi exp3 (Death of Onnotangu victory. Must have as many Hitomi's as
possible. resistance is useless. (It's funny cause it isn't true.)

The other 6 Thunders

The Hooded Ronin
The Hooded Ronin exp
Togashi Yokuni exp
Togashi Yokuni exp2

The early Hitomi's and Yokuni also provide a path around the sensei
limits.

Fate:
12 Black scrolls
5 Elemental rings (really just for focus, flavor, and favoritism.)
3 Lord moon's stuff
Shiryo no Mirumoto, Togashi, and Agasha (another loophole for Yokuni
exp2)
3x Dragon's Tooth
3x Grasp the Earth Dragon 
3x Nature Provides
Mirumoto House guard
Essence of Air
The Mirumoto Wakizashi
Ancestral Sword of the Dragon Clan
Togashi's Daisho
Ancestral Armor of the Dragon Clan
Egg of P'an Ku

This is one of those decks that works better than I though it would.
It's no competition for the card base's environment. But it did give me
some good design ideas. It also shows our biggest weakness as a clan. We
like to get cute with our decks. There are some good combos with this
deck and there are some very useless cards. If i had too, I could find
at most six or seven scrolls that would be worth using, 2 rings would go
right away, and probably 2 of the thunders. (although that would depend
on what i put in on the fate side.)

Enjoy,
