I k ow it was getting talked about on Discord a while ago and is apparently an almost carbon copy of the Lion one. Supposed to be I believe the Town they are fighting over when Shono goes to lead his army against the Matsu force being lead by his ex-fiance.

Yeah, rumors and actual leaks are two different things though. There is still no confirmation that it is actually a Unicorn stronghold. Now I do think that there is a strong possibility that Unicorn are getting one but it is possible that it could be someone else's stronghold.

Just saw the picture in Mandarin. 1 Str, 11 honor, 7 fate, 10 influence. Win a conflict with more participating characters, bow the stronghold, sac a cavalry to delcare an additional military conflict (paraphrase). Same city as Lion's.

Are you able to find a link to share? If that is what it is holy moly that is an awesome stronghold for them! 11 Honor and 1 str is a huge improvement in terms of stats plus the ability.

That would be rather disappointing - two strongholds that are almost mirrors.

They are mirrors because they ARE the same Stronghold. Unicorn conquerd it.

To some maybe. I was a little disappointed at Torturi/Hotaru at first but it fits thematically and both are strong cards for their clans. Same appears to be so for these strongholds. Great flavor, and even though both of them function fairly similar to one another, they give both clans a needed boost and enough differences that each clan will use them in slightly different ways.
What I think would be really neat is if they track the results from tournament success with these strongholds to determine the outcome of the story around the battle at this location............which I would not be shocked at all if FFG is doing that.

So one more influence, and one less province strength than the Lion version.
Can confirm, saw the image myself as well for the Unicorn Stronghold. Unfortunately no link available because word came down from FFG/Discord mods to delete the images.

And actually an easier to activate ability. If printed wide Unicorn will be bonkers.

I would argue that it’s actually fitting, given the various conflicts in Rokugan that would center around key locations (cities, towns, ports, trading centers, temples, etc) and are continually fought over under the precept of honor/influence/etc.
This SH would also make Way of the Unicorn a more commonly played card.
Edited by LordBluntStill waiting on the translation of Togashi Mitsu....
Someone translated it in the dragon discord chat, I don't know the exact wording, but it was along the lines of "Action: While this character is participating in a conflict - choose a kiho, tattoo, or monk card in your conflict discard pile and play it as though from your hand. If it was an event, add it to the bottom of your deck after it resolves."
On that note, we also got a translation on Agasha Shunsen, it was a bit less clear of the exact wording (the translator admitted to having some difficulty), but it looks like it's gonna be "Action: move one or more rings from your claimed ring pool to the unclaimed ring pool - choose a character and search your conflict deck for an attachment with a cost equal to or less than the number of rings moved and put it into play attached to that character. Shuffle the deck." It might be play and not put into play, but here's hoping for put into play.
I haven't checked the discord since around 6-ish (EDT), so there might be newer translations up since then that might be a bit clearer.
Pack 5 is officially spoiled . Iuchi Shahai is #91, #92 is a fire-role only neutral character and Scorpion get 3 conflict cards.
Dang, there's some spicy stuff in this pack, especially for Dragon. Void Fist is great, and Togashi Mitsu is a powerhouse. There's an ability I'd like to slap Way of the Dragon on. The thought of recycling Hurricane Punches makes me excited, and Void Fist is another solid card. Kuni Lab looks devastatingly powerful. We've already been over how great Ethereal Dreamer and Game of Sadane are.
Not really too keen on the Bustling Academy. Would rather just see the card in the province of the holding, but it could be useful later in the game's life, I guess. Callow Delegate appears to be the Crane 1-drop that's just pure value (along side Naive Scholar, Bayushi Liar, and Kaiu Envoy.)
Imperial Historian looks neat, but I mostly like his flavor text. Without saying the name of the library, he just sounds super petty. "No girls on THIS side of the room!"
Unless I'm mistaken Bustling Academy can be used on your opponent's provinces to get rid of holdings?
Whoa, ok. That makes it significantly, way better. Good catch. Not sure why an academy can do that, but ok.
Mitsu is nasty.

Well when the Asako show up with a treatise on how you are in violation of Imperial zoning decrees...
I guess the downside to Kuni Labs is that they can pop up when you least want them, and even in multiples. You can ditch them after the first round, but they're going to cost you an honor hit the first time. And getting multiples is really bad, because you'll only have two characters to put into play to benefit from their buff. I could see it making for some strong turns, but also stabbing you in the back. Pretty fitting.

One of which is Earth locked..............
Mitsu and void fist are both so good for my monk deck, that I really wanna play with them asap, but I really need to prep for gencon, and that means nothing after the water pack.
That's probably my second-last update for the spoilers for this cycle.
I kind of feel that I'm missing an Air-locked Crane card.. Is there one?

Soul Beyond Reproach - I didn't check your list to see if you had it already, but yes there is one.
