If they do make the swords into cards, they won't be anything like the 
claw.  The shadowlands already have a celestial sword (the claw) and a 
broken sword (the porcelain mask exp).  Giving them another item like that 
would be too much.

I sincerely doubt they'll make it as powerful as a celestial sword.

Satsu was on the vote for the new clan champion.   If they taint him now, 
and then he wins, there will be a huge outcry of pissed off people.  You've 
also got to remember... this wasn't the finals at Gencon or the European 
Championship or anything... this was a challenge booth.  If they tainted or 
killed champions every time they died in a game at a smaller tournament, we 
wouldn't have any champions left.
