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...

That, and Kachiko as a 5 cost Conflict card... riiiiight....

4chan is great - and the spoilers there can be fun, but no matter how legit anything looks its still 4chan and you can't believe anything they say, even when they are telling the truth.

Although, to quote Yojiro, "If you will not believe a word I say, I might as well tell the truth."

This could be a pack with 3 Scorpion cards, this 2nd pack is supposed to have 3 Phoenix and none of those are the "limited 1 per deck" imperial district holding that I assume is coming later this cycle.

It's hard to believe Kachiko as a 5-cost conflict character, but Scorpion has shown themselves to rely pretty heavily on conflict cards. There's also a Scorpion strategy somewhere here on the forum already set up for leveraging the kind of playstyle needed to use a 5-cost conflict character...not sure if that had a playtester involved in its development or not, but if so they may have used their knowledge to provide a strategy without breaking NDA to say "guys, we gotta save all our fate for Kachiko in the conflict deck."

It's not the Imperial 1/deck that is extra in that pack, it's the role-limited ones.

It occurs to me that if Seal of the Crab is free it's going to allow for a nice combo of sacrificing Keeper Initiates for Way of the Crab.

There are 8 conflicts cards in this leak. We already have 3 conflict cards revealed for this pack. It may not be impossible but I somehow doubt we'll see a pack with 11 conflicts cards, 1-2 provinces and 7-8 dynasty cards.

If only some of those Aussies from "the future" would chime in and share the contents with the rest of us...I saw someone already has read the new fiction insert, so I know there's people with this pack in their hands.

I mean, the for honor and glory pack was spoiled like a week ago on imigur, so I don't know what you're asking for, unless you think australia is next week instead of tomorrow?

Yeah, For Honor and Glory is known. I'll post the list here though, just to confirm. These cards are in my hands:

-Frostbitten Crossing (air-only province, action to remove attachments from one attacker)

-Riot in the Streets (province, if you have 3 bushi, bow one character)

-Stoic Magistrate (Crab, while defending, characters with 2 or less cost don't count)

-Kabuki Hero (Crane 0/2, spend a fate to gain mil = pol)

-Northern Wall Sensei

-Ikoma Ujiaki

-Magnificent Lightouse (+2 holding for phoenix, action to look at top 3 of opponent's deck, put one on top, one on bottom, one in discard)

-Bayushi Yojiro (Scorpion, ignore status token effects)

-Ide Tadaji

-Miwaku Kabe (Imperial +3 def holding)

-Pathfinder Blade

-Raise the Alarm

-Kakita Blade

-High Kick

-Kamayari (2-cost lion weapon, +3 mil and if a character takes an action, bow it)

-Shrine Maiden

-Harmonize

-Seal of the Scorpion

-Shinjo Saddle

-Policy Debate (political duel, winner chooses a card from loser's hand to discard)

Yeah, that's what I get for posting half asleep, I had this thread mixed up with the one asking about this week's pack.

Would be nice if Australia was a week ahead, though.

"Having a pig's ear at the near and far to get have some time away from the hugs and kisses" has nothing to do with pigs ears, hugs and kisses, or things that are near or far away.

Vegemite is delicious.

Kangaroos are not ridden around in or on, but occasionally eaten.

Contrary to popular belief, not all Australians who draw their heritage back to England are descended from convicts, though those that are wear it as a badge of pride.

"Mate" has very different connotations depending on the sentence. The mate in "Listen, mate" and "He's my mate" are very different.

...

Oh, did you mean about L5R?

Scorpion propaganda!

My message from the future is: don't get sciatica. I am in so much pain, I can barely walk let alone get to my FLGS to pick up the second dynasty pack. I can't even get the saddle on my riding wombat.

My Aussie secret to share - the bird is called an emu, pronounced "ee-mew".

New card Spoiled:

Oi Mate

Kangaroo Clan

3 Fate 4/1/0

Immune to poison.

Immune to Poison feels meanspirited

is this a conflict character or a dynasty character? Also are drinks on my opponent?

Better than any Unicorn card we've gotten so far...

At least that one can participate in political conflicts.

I don't know if posting blatant leaks is a bannable offence and I don't have time to do this proprerly, but someone just shared an image on an L5R Facebook group confirming that the Kachiko mentioned above is 100% legit. Right on down to being a conflict character.

You have the name of that Facebook Group? I, uh, I’m asking for a friend...

Clan Seals from PAX Unplugged

P.S. Would love to see that source too. Also asking for a friend ....

anyone else shocked the unicorn seal doesn't have an arbitrary fate cost like all the other bad pony attachments. (spyglass not included)

Berserker, Duelist, Monk, Commander, Scholar, Shinobi, & Cavalry... traits given respectively. Lord knows unicorn needs an easy way to gain Cavalry!

I've linked images of spoilers before. Here's the Bayushi Kachiko image that was mentioned above. Was easy to find since the original post was from a public L5R FB group:

Guess this gives credit to the rest of the spoilers.
