I love it when people use assasination on my guys. I actually load up Sinister Soshi with 2-3 fates just to tempt them. The way I see it, they're making my job a whole lot easier if they did that.

Yeah, but you guys get to play Forged Edict. They pay all the costs and don't get any of the benefits. ?

I mean, I'm gonna be honest, I think the 5 cost that the enforcers should be compared to is agasha sumiko from the dragon clan.

They both are 5 cost 4/4/1, they both have conditions under which they are effectively blank, but when used to maximum effectiveness they can both wreck house. Honestly, I consider enforcers to be better than sumiko for a few reasons. First of all, enforcers is cheaper, yes they both cost 5 fate as a base, but enforcers can be on the board for up to three extra turns for no extra fate. Second of all, while enforcers IS effectively blank after entering play, at least you get to control whether or not he get's his ability off, with sumiko, if I lose the favor she's blank, and thus what makes her good is gone. Third of all enforcers is non-unique, for most 5 costers, being unique is better because it means you can afford to pay less for them and still keep them around longer by saccing off extra copies, however because of enforcers' ability most of the time he'll be sticking around for most of the game, if not all of the game, any way, and because you don't need to over pay, you can afford to field multiple copies at once despite the base cost of 5, because you never need to pay more than the base cost.
