Rokugan's Shield - Crab Preview

By Coyote Walks, in Legend of the Five Rings: The Card Game

So do we know if Steadfast Witch Hunter can ready itself? I was playing it that way the other night and it feels like a real strong card. If I don't have any better targets then readying Witch Hunter for 4 mil was great. I had a Fine Katana on him and then a Reprieve. In another game he got to ready a Charge-d Kisada, which was a nice feeling.

Don't see a reason why you couldn't Steady Witch Hunter to ready itself.

In the case that a card does not count itself or cannot target itself, the word "other" or "another" will be present.

Such as in Hida Guardian and Matsu Beiona:

There is no question in my mind that the Steadfast Witch Hunter can absolutely ready herself.

I also think there's no question that she can sacrifice herself to ready another character.

For the people that have Twitch games or Youtube games that have been played with a Crab deck, could you please post the links here? I'd like to see more matches that show what the Crab can do. Thanks in advance.

As others have stated - Reprieve and Stand Your Ground would both certainly keep the character in play, but since Spiritcaller has them leave plat at the end of the conflict it you still need to deal with the end of turn.
