Bushi [Scorpion TOE] Go Ninja, go ninja, go!

Amusingly, I have been looking through all the Ninja stuff I've got and decided "WTF, might as well build a Bushi deck out of it". So I was pleased to see you'd done this.

I think you really want to make room for Small Farm in your holdings, with so many guys that are basically box+1 on the cheap. Archery Range is a good choice to include with the ranged attacks. I agree on selection of Stronghold - but moreso for the ability to choose the province that will hurt the most. For this reason, Hawado XP2 is a good choice - look at their provinces, use him to discard something juicy, then attack whatever else you don't want them to get. Works nicely with Silent Terror and even Aramoro's Promise as well.

Have you considered Kazutoshi? The increased HR should slow down just about every deck. Sadly, I traded away my 2 Nobus so I'll have to find a replacement for them.

For followers, do you think the Apprentice Shinobi are a better choice than the Water Spider Adept? I guess it comes down to: are you expecting to use more than two Ninja actions in each battle? It's probably the case. Ninja Guards might be good too, since at the very least they are a 2F follower - and more likely up to 5.

I'd take out the Apprentice Shinobi and replace them with Goju Kaxt. A follower that becomes a bigger personality on death is always good - and the +1F to all other Ninja in the army is HUGE.

Shosureo Tanihara is a shoe-in (now I know what I'll put in to replace the Nobus I don't have!) and Touch of the Night should find a place, too.

Tachikaze!
