Breach of ettiquette?
But I actually spelled "etiquette" right for once. Also the old art on Breach was so funny. You practically hear the guy knocking over the tea cups saying "D'oh!" I remember one time we for some reason ended up playing at Denny's really late one night and a guy knocked over his drink leading to a mad scramble to save cards for the wetness. After everything was cleaned up, I look over at the guy who knocked over glass and said, "Breach of Etiquette, Lose 5 Honor."
Wedge (Here's hoping they go the art that I always thought was gorgeous, too.)
hmm only one person mentioned Sneak Attack...
For me a few new and old that haven't been named yet
Fate
It was a Cat
For my Clan
Storms of War
The Great Silence
Crushing Attack
Dynasty
Toku !!
Evil Feeds Upon Itself
Emergence of the Tortoise
Inheritance
March of the Alliance
The Dead Walk the Earth
and Desperate Measures
Oh man, talk about memory lane. This is great. I was actually going through classic L5R card names / ideas for my new pet project. So many excellent additions. I'll surely be able to complete both decks with these, and a few of the charts too ...
From my own stash of stuff: Stand Against the Waves, Superior Tactics, Wedge, For the Empire!, Peasant Revolt, and Deeds, Not Words.

All the clan related gold holdings come to my mind (Coper Mine, Gold Mine, Geisha House, Marketplace, and all the others). And when talking already about holdings then I have to think about Border Keep and Bamboo Harvesters ass well, or about the the legacy holdings of Seat of Power, Privat Traders, and Supply Smugglers.
I really hope the game will change to a different resources system, but somehow I would like to have cards with those holding names still in the game.
A friend of mine once did an entire deck under a certain theme. I forgot most of the cards by now but it was something along these lines... Can you guess the theme she picked?
Crane Stronghold (I forget which one was it)
Lots of Mantis Pirates
Lots of Crane Courtiers
Come One at a Time
Bend Like a Reed
From Every Side
Fall on Your Knees
To Do What We Must
Hiruma Dojo

Soem things which definded the game for me are the Dark and Bushido Virtues and exspecially some of the dark one cause they really show how samurai can choose to get tainted and what they are willing to sacrefice for the acomplisment of their duty.
At Any Cost
Black and White
Cast Aside the Weak
Determination
Insight
Paths of Honor & Glory
Knowledge
Perfect Sacrifice
Perfection
Revenge
Strength
Striking the Balance
It would be neat if we got The Deciding Moment back, since it was like, a pretty big deal, t-shirts and everything. Kind of lame how depending on your favorite Clan, you might've paid an arm, leg and firstborn child to acquire the appropriate version, only to learn that the game you got it for is retiring.
I never won with it, but all my decks during Emperor had a copy of "The Deciding Moment". Created so many dramatic (and usually futile) moments.
One of my favorite cards ever is Game of Sincerity. So versatile, so sneaky. Anyone can feel like a courtier with this card!Breach of ettiquette?
Anything can technically come back as a new card. It doesn't have to be game breaking and not-fun like before (or super fun, depending on which side of the table you were on).
That's a good one from a later set.
Game of Sincerity - you win, or you get naked!
I was actually the one who had that banner made. I'm glad its memory lives on!

Really? That's awesome! I couldn't look at the card after that without filling in the blanks.
Game of Sincerity with Game of Sadane were a few of my favorite cards within the same block.
These feel recent though =)
