PJStelford:
Dynasty (47)/Fate (52)
Stronghold: Deception's Veil Dojo
Events (4)
1x A New Wall
1x In Time of War
1x Proposal of Peace
1x Wisdom Gained
Holdings (14)
3x Geisha House
3x High Courts Run Seiden Sanzo, there are times you just have to trigger off the Assigning Blames
1x Private Trader
1x Seat of Power
3x Secluded Village
3x Secluded Waystation Family Library makes your Dynasty more consistant; remember to make room for the Sushi Stands soon as they become legal
Personalities (28)
1x Bayushi Hisoka
1x Bayushi Kaukatsu (XP2)
3x Bayushi Kurumi Maemi I like better. 2 more gold, but also Samurai with offfensive capabilities
1x Bayushi Paneki (XP4)
3x Bayushi Saya
3x Kitsune Tsutaro
3x Shosuro Adeiko Very useful; I personally find Hisako easier to come out and her reaction more useful for my style
1x Shosuro Jimen
1x Shosuro Maru (XP2)
3x Shosuro Uyeda
3x Soshi Idaurin
1x Tsuruchi Etsui (XP) Definitely Tsimaru
3x Yogo Rieko
1x Yoritomo Sachina She's loyal; she could and perhaps should be a Scorpion imho
Regions (1)
1x Overflowing Fields Sorrow's Path is a must. I'm also running Ruins of Otosan Uchi for the +2 and the annoying Rich Frogs
Actions (48)
3x Allegations Good card, but very few / no magistrates
3x Ambush
3x Assigning Blame
3x Coward!
3x Defining the Essence Stay your blade. Three cards right then and there
3x Denounce on Stage
3x Failure of Duty Too conditional for my taste but excellent (wins games) when it works; I dropped it for resumed hostilities
3x Hired Killer
3x Old Alliances It's good, but you can't play everything and it's not among the best cards that make the cut, again imho
3x Reverence for Chikushudo
3x Share the Blame
3x The Bitter Shadow of Shame
3x The Scorpion's Strength Sits in your hand if they have no dishonored people in battle, goes better in more battle oriented decks
3x Unfortunate Incident
3x Unrequited Love Nice attempt at action phase slow down, suits honor runners much better. Let alone they can simply straighten. Outer Walls is my favorite at this point in time to save personalities from the Maountain's Shadow and provinces, buying extra turns to dishonor.
3x Unspoken Threats Useful, but slow
Items (1)
1x Rosoku's Staff
Rings (3)
1x Ring of Air
1x Ring of Earth
1x Ring of The Void
Spells (3)
3x Walking the Way
Most of the things I crossed depend on what you want to do with your deck. Bolt Crank gave me excellent advice when I first tried to build my SE dishonor deck. There are many ways you can go with it and each requires different personality lineup and different fate cards. Check out for the turbo dishonor, the straightforward dishonor or the dishonor / military categories, both at the Hyper Dishonor thread for the GenCon and the Red Crane Dojo. When you figure out how you'd prefer to play your deck, I'm sure everybody will offer their cue to help you. Remember that a) there are more good cards that fit in a deck and b) there is no game that will let you play them all; you have to choose the ones you'd rather have in your hand in most situations.
