Spoiler: Shosuro Actress

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

Plus, shinobi just feels more appropriate for cards like Actress. She's not your typical "ninja" but I can see a shinobi specializing in disguise and acting to complete secret missions.

That's what the Scorpion shinobi were supposed to be about in the first place, not black pj's and smoke bombs.

those were the trainees/distractions ?

All that being said, I really don't need further temptation to play Scorpion. I am really liking a lot of their cards so far.

There's no such thing as ninja, silly. :)

Yes there are. They run around in black masks using needlessly complicated devices and weapons.

You could be describing the S.E.A.Ls

What? No. C'mon! I can't go from bright bird to red bug.

Can I?

Plus, it'll be way more fun talking about the glory of the Phoenix and dropping another clan's deck from time to time.*


*Unless I somehow get hatamoto.

Yogo did it. So could you.

well see how 'glorious ' the Phoenix is.

So did Asahina after setting several Crane on fire and that sounds way more fun than being cursed. ;)

A case could be made that Special Forces in general are basically modern ninja. Nobody fights honorably out in the open anymore.

AND he got the girl as well.

He's my hero.

I don't know about right out of the core box, but I'm pretty sure Phoenix/Scorpion dishonor is going to be a thing. You may get the best of both worlds, eventually!

To be honest Yogo joined scorpion specifically because he did not love him. And I think they still cultivate that to this day.

Random question. Why do people marry into Yogo clan? Do Yogo marry peasants?

To my knowledge, the Yogo Curse isn't common knowledge outside of the Scorpion and the Asako.

That is one crappie dowry

In fairness, someone decided you married into the Scorpion. The Kami clearly aren't favoring you.

I am a Dragon. I would simply be following in my champions secret example.

But not a lot of other clans would enjoy it.

...Which means that the Scorpion have been breeding for people willing to sacrifice themselves for the good of their clan for a thousand years...

I may need to consider a change of mon.

Don't be silly.

Togashi was in on it, too. :)

That's a development I'm very closely looking into. I'd love to be able to run Phoenix dishonor (hopefully at least as well as I did with Temple of Purity). Or really just the magistrate theme, again.

Something about Scorpion that I'm really liking so far. Unless the rest of their cards and fiction are horrible, they will be my go-to clan when I want a break from Dragon

honestly, I've been thinking the same thing recently. I'm really hoping for good splash cards, too.
