Do we know if she is bushi ?

Because the playablity of this card relies on the answer to that question.

The scan of the card I saw is: Bushi - Commander

Casting WtW twice with the new stronghold, digging 6 total cards, picking the best 2 for free when Phoenix has some of the more bonkers dynasty side cards is pretty strong.

Maybe. I dunno, though. If you have to literally double the effect on the card in order to tempt me to play it, I'm not really excited for the card. Let it dig for Conflict cards instead and I'll play 3 every day. But if I'm playing the new stronghold, I'll probably be looking to copy other spells every turn.

Edit: Having thought about it some more, I think I still hold the same opinion overall, but I could see it being useful in some weird swarm-shugenja blitz deck, serving as a tool for some surprise tricks like an unexpected Charge or Kanjo District/Satoshi. It's a combo-finder that helps maximize some shenanigans. I still don't really like it, but the deck idea seems like fun to try out.

Not if you’re trying to play a control deck that is propped up by a holding and having the favor. I get your point but anything that increases the consistency in getting Kanjo District into play needs to be at least considered. Fu Leng help us if there are more neutral characters that warp the game in some way. Satoshi already digs real deep for Kanjo. I could see a deck play 1 drop shugenja, WtW and Satoshi being a very solid engine to set up Kanjo early. And that’s just one combo. More will come......heck just being able to dig for big characters to have for Charge is good enough to make WtW a legit option. Maybe not as a 3 of but I wouldn’t rule that out.

Yes she is. But you still need to commit at least 3 characters on that conflict.

Could help in a Kuroi Mori break what is very usefull, but is more a late game character, I don't think it helps too much since it dies for assassination and will be a blank character in the 2 first turns.

I think target 2 bushis and give them +2/+2 would help much more than receiving a lot of bonuses on the final attack. But I can't say is a bad card, she can also be used in defense, another Lion issue.

And the art is great =)

I think she would have been interesting if she provided a bonus tied to the number of attacking Bushi (capped, of course).
