The only thing I'm not a big fan of is the Jade Tetsubo. I haven't seen it in play yet, but on paper it's expensive and will give your opponent a fate advantage on their next turn. On top of that you still have to deal with the character in the conflict. The stat boot is the biggest in the game (for military), but most of the time I'd rather have a fine katana and the ability to play one or two more cards.

EDIT: I didn't see the Miya Mystic in there. That one will depend on how much pain attachments are causing you. It's expensive for what it does, so you may be better served by either a character with better stats or maybe Imperial Storehouses for some cheap card draw. Either that or just drop it completely since you are at 45 cards.

I see what you're saying, but I think it's a valid play if it kicks a clan champion off the board. I also think it work specifically in this deck because of rout and similar.

Add Way of the Crab before anything else, as just about all the Way cards are very useful for their clan. Yes, I know some are not that useful, hence the "just about". Imperial Storehouse can replace the Fortifications and other cards be replaced or removed depending on what sort of deck you're building.

I'd also try to trim it down to 40/40 for better consistency.
