No? Keep playing samurai with the other children. Yes? After a few generations you will become us.

Keeper Initiate coming from the Discard means you can use it as a sacrifice card, chump blocker, extra attacker for a last conflict, or even keep for Imperial Favor... Being able to get 1-2 of these from your discard FREE is deceptively strong.

Seeker Initiate is far too over priced. The ability is okay, but you have to dump 2 fate for a 1/1 first, and then play to win that ring. The Keeper just sits there and works whenever it happens.

Solid post.

Given the results of the 1-Core games, with Dragon coming up on top with 8 (?) players, I am seriously confused right now. Though I still believe that single Core deck is simply "off" and doesn't give us a true feel of the game (as the game was designed, tested and costed with the play-testers having access to 3 copies of each card), I am still of the belief that the Crane Clan has the best 'tools' for the job, and even more so with a Scorpion splash. Conversely, a Scorpion deck with maybe a Crane splash would exhibit the same amount of flexibility and strength that I imagine Crane to have, but I digress...

Coming back to the quoted snip above, I was of the opinion that the Seeker Initiate was a better choice for a Dragon deck, and even more so for a Phoenix deck that I was tinkering with. Now, after reading feedback from players, I am in the opposite camp.

Again, I am confused. More gaming (well, actual gaming) needs to be had before I begin posting deck compositions and opinions on deck making. As of right now, my math and judgement concerning what should go into my Dragon deck (the only deck that I am giving much thought to) is going onto the back burner.

Introspection was an amazing card that granted me many an enlightened victory! I mean, Keeper Initiate is a great card.
