[Dragon] Military Ideas (Rob, KC, Hokosaki, Zembu, Paul)

[John Panagiotakis]

Greetings,

Well, with our new box, military decks have once again been placed under the 
spotlight and the forums have are on fire from ideas. Let's keep it that 
way. 8)

I've been recently toying with a few ideas, both new and old, for military 
decks and I need your opinions.

Firstly, the size of deck. With Shiro Tamori's ability, it seems that the 40 
card barrier can be surpassed without many consequences. Hiroko and RoV 
should be one with the bulk of any military deck with more than 40 cards. Of 
course, putting together a deck of 60 or 80 cards is an exaggeration of 
this. So we're talking about +5 to +10 cards increase. I would personally go 
for the +5, initially, then +7 cards depending on the results of the 
playtesting and deck theme.

"Take the Initiative". Starting with 5 honor is fine but military decks 
aren't famous for their average focus value of their cards. Moreover, it's 
always nice to start first especially against an honor runner. 8p In any 
case, prior to S.Tamori, we didn't play this card much cause their is 
nothing worse than having three dead slots (meta game speaking) in your deck 
and not mention the pesky 1 FV. 8( Well, those days are gone. With the 
enhanced +1/+1/+1, this card is fairly playable. Which brings up again the 
matter of deck size. I would go for 45 cards.

"Recruitive Drive" + "Ashigaru Spearmen/Archers" + Lots of followers. Not a 
power combo but certainly something worth testing. a)You attach the Ashigaru 
S/A, draw a card, lose them then to a battle, raise them back from the dead, 
b)Toss them to get a +1/+1/+1, raise the poor guys back and attach them 8) 
Not bad, ha?

Comments? Suggestions? Grape Juice?? 8>
