The core book only has suggested decks for Lion and Crane. Has anyone made a decent list for the other Clans? I have a few people I want to snare into this game, and there's no way they'll get hooked if we have to start with deck building. I also reckon most of them will find the Lion and Crane to be really uninteresting.

And yes, I know the real way to go is with more cards, but any drug dealer knows you have to make that first hit cheap and easy.

In this link you have the official suggested starter decks for each clan, all of them built with just one core. Although they’re not tournament legal, they give you a very good feeling of each clan strengths and playstyle.

Practiced a bit with the 1C Lion and Crane.

Took a Dragon from this list 2-2 on the launch tournament. Had a good time, got hooked (but I was already a Rokugan addict). I played a mirror (loss/ conceded), a crab (win conquest) , a lion (loss conquest) and a Phoenix (win conquest).

id say crab, lion, crane and dragon are the easier to actually play with in 1 core .
