2014 Grove City 2nd Chance: 4th Place Phoenix Honour

Winning opposed battles is a lot easier for defensive decks in Bushi, I think - there are less problematic cards to deal with, and defensive actions are bountiful. With a deck like this, you can sit back and honour out safely with Kamikos, beat down military with your Yojimbos, or switch to the attack vs. other defensive decks, should they accelerate better than you.
