Totally agree !

Or Tsuge, if there is one out ^_^

I, like Rob, am a big Lesson fan. But in an honor deck, I'd never play it in a PK deck unless I *really* need filler cards to go to 40, which I usually don't.

Well, here I'll take the opposite stance, as I really dislike Art. Even in my Daisuke decks, I don't run the arts. Way too unreliable unless you play focus, less reusable than Secrets, and I hate that crappy Focus 1. But then again, it *might* make the cut in a straight honor deck, but rarely in my PK decks.

^_^

So will I.

How about Hitomi Fugu, like the fish that poisons you if you don't prepare it right ^_^ ?
