Better. Sophie Deveroux and Jackie Chan had a baby, who decided to become a Kabuki actor.

Alls I know is that I want the Imperial Advisor Herself to be able to discard the Imperial Favor to spray dishonour everywhere. Hosing a field seems fair considering the value monsters that Crane and Lion got.

I still think Kaede's awesome as well.

Oh overall I think that Phoenix are the winners of the first set, and she is at the heart of that. If Phoenix actually don't get a Favour person I wouldn't say they've been hard done by in the slightest. In fact, if I could choose between Kachiko being just a generally awesome card like Kaede is, or one of these Favor Mongers, I would choose to make her very strong all the time rather than completely bananas some of the time.

But in fairness, given they've introduced the mechanic AND she is the Imperial Advisor, surely if *anyone* can abuse the Favor of his August Majesty, then it's her.

Unless she takes the favour from the opponent. And probably dishonours someone whilst doing it.

Oooh, that would be spot on actually, very thematic. But it would have to do something else because that ability is not 5-drop status, and SURELY she's our next 5 drop? But Shameful Display+Auto-favor on legs... That would be worth 5.

Throw some good stats in there. Make sure she does something active to achieve goals. The other favour mongers either boost characters or cards by 2. Taking the favour is a 2 points stat swing, so she would only need to dishonour or bow a character to be hellish. She’d auto block those other characters, and knock off censure.

That scorpion guys is busted. The lion guy looks like it could be pretty funny in Dragon decks

Water shugenja pushes the aggro Phoenix theme that seems to be happening. All of these seem like plausible cards; just wish we had pics for confirmation.

FYI I'm still editing the post above as more keeps getting posted on 4chan.

Edit: It's all done for now.

Who the in the flying flop is 4chan and why do we care what he/she says?

Just curious, really. I realize now that might have come off as snippy but, I'm running on 2 hours of sleep today.

4chan is a rather prominent anonymous message board where the scum of the Internet like to hang out. You get lots of trash there, also lots of big anonymous leaks that turn out to be true.

Kind of like the dark seedy underside of Reddit, but a good 5/10 times worse.

I really hope there's not just a cycle of these. The ability is cool, but I wish they were at least different and not just exact copies of one another.

Would be a more accurate statement.

Kind of messed it up with Fire I guess. Fire would've been cool if it was "Honor and draw" and the water "Ready and Draw" the Void "Put a fate on Monk and draw" and so on.

For sure! Making them tied to the ring would have been awesome!

Unicorn cards are too hard to fake. They have to be a special well balanced mixture of just enough to get the players excited and then completely crush their soul when they re-read, re-evaluate, and realize how bad the card actually is. It's too fine a line to skirt between completely awesome unbelievably good...............and obvious troll.

The card fakers leave the hard work to FFG.

Not sure how keen I am on Kachiko. They keep giving Scorpion characters fat glory and ten thousand ways of dishonoring ourselves. Especially courtiers. But if it's true that she actually is a conflict character then that opens up the potential for some fun mind games where people just become terrified of a Scorpion player with loads of fate cause they don't know if they're walking into an Ambush, A Fate Worse Then Death or just a ballsy bluff lol

What we've had spoiled for the third pack already consists of a Phoenix, a Scorpion, a Unicorn (Seeker only) and a neutral. This means we are due:

• 2 Crab
• 2 Crane
• 2 Dragon
• 2 Lion
• 1 Phoenix
• 1 Scorpion
• 2 Unicorn
• 4 Neutral

To me, this leak has too many Scorpion in it...
