Very interesting deck! Thanks for sharing. For card draw you already have more than most Bushi decks with your clan virtue but I don't see the crane clan holding from the gempukku starters. That is also great card draw and should be an auto include for Bushi decks, IMO.

Oh! Right, my bad. Thanks for pointing it out I'm going to see if I can procure the Daidoji Marketplace from a guy who bought the gempukku starter. It's definitely a much needed addition. Thanks! |

Cut off a bit of fat and tightened the focus a bit to be more durable in battle. I'm tempted to put in the new Doji Iza in place of Kenta but Kenta has his uses, even though it's slow to cash in (usually after the Aerie duel). Also added a couple of Ceaseless Vigil to take advantage of Yusugi, might as well since he's cute, fluffy and utterly expendable

Tried the deck out for a spin and it lacked a finisher. The final province is normally out of my reach by a couple of force or so. The deck also needed some more lethal answers and more mobility to answer threats in short notice.
Some changes to the deck above:
-1 Formal Apology, + Offering Reverence (maybe I should retain, dishonor matchups give this deck a headache).
-1 Kakita Gonji, +1 Doji's Guidance xp (for reusing Courtesy of the Crane).
-1 Tranquil Garden, +1 Falling Rain Dojo
-2 Reserve Weapon, +2 Hidden Defenses
-2 Ceaseless Vigil, -2 Superior Opponent, -1 An Insult Answered, -1 Spirit of the Duelist
+3 Brothers in Battle, +2 In the Heart of Battle, +1 Indecision (streamlining the deck and giving more options).
Other cards that have been given considerations:
Reckless Rush, Siege Volley.
More change once TA hits the shelf, I reckon. But possibly enough time to test out for a couple more iterations at most because my Kotei is coming up fast.

Siege Volley won't work being from FL. Good changes though, Have enough samurai to run Revenge? Seems pretty good.

There's 18 samurai in the deck. Still mixing and matching stuff, Revenge included as well. Balancing this deck is like a trip wire act. I know there's a sweet spot somewhere but I just couldn't find it yet.

Still couldn't find the space for any TA cards yet, or even if it needs it. But here's the latest draft of the deck:
The Aerie
Border Keep
Bamboo Harvester
Doji Makoto x1
Doji Shigeyuki x3
Doji Genshin x3
Kakita Kenta x3
Kakita Yusugi x3
Takayuki x3
Doji Mitsuru x3
Asahina Keigo x3
Kakita Gonji x2
Marketplace x3
Prosperous Village x3
Small Farm x3
Daidoji Marketplace x1
Tranquil Garden x1
Akuma’s Power x1
Doji's Guidance xp x1
Formal Apology x1
Wisdom Gained x1
Offering Reverence x1
The Courtesy of the Crane x3
Steel on Steel x3
Spirit of the Duelist x2
The Cycle of Vengeance x3
String of Victories x2
Of One Instant x3
Indecision x2
Back to the Front x2
Revenge x2
Brothers in Battle x2
Shamsir x3
A Simple Yari x3
Unparalled Sword x3
Tsuruchi Daikyu x2
Ring of Earth x1
Ring of Water x1
Ring of the Void x1
Ring of Fire x1
Ring of Air x1
It's more in your face now, thanks to the daikyu. Also it is now less vulnerable against send homes, which is one of the deck's glaring weakness. And that tiny splash of Revenge really adds more options.

With as many Samurai as you can field, I'm shocked you're not running Know No Fear.
