Text po englidzu:
"A few changes I'm thinking about making:

I'm probably going to drop 2x Shapeshifter for 2x Sawaki. Having that person who can move in would be very nice. There were a lot of situations I wanted to defend, but I just lost the game if my opponent had a Sneak. As such I had to give up a lot of provinces that I didn't want to.

I'm going down to 1x Broken Cipher for another spell, despite my better judgment. I found myself unable to use Broken Cipher often due to my having already drawn a card during the phase (during an Ambush, virtually always). It would just clog up my hand until I sniped a battle, at which point I would generally draw two cards I couldn't use. I wouldn't go to 0x as it's often possible to get it into play by gimmicks (attacking, moving in, ciphering, moving home) but it's not generally very efficient card draw. Also, the deck has no shortage of card draw.

I'm going down to 1x Step Through the Void and Path to Inner Peace. I'm putting in 1x Scorching Lash, 1x Mastering the Elements, and, despite my desire to have good cards in my deck, A Tapestry Perceived. I'm not sold on the Tapestry, but it's a reusable Air action that will give me useful information. I've always liked the idea of peeking at my opponents future cards.

Probably going -1x Shinomen Marsh +1x Second City Dojo. The 3g holding isn't terribly important, and having the utility of Second City will be nice.

That's more or less all I can come up with at this time.

For a brief recap of my rounds:

R1: Lion Swarm Blitz. Didn't see any rings until turn 8 (?), at which point I was at two provinces and was about to lose.
R2: Phoenix Blitz. Frozen in Place stops his T2 attack. Enlightened turn... 4? 5?
R3: Phoenix Blitz/Midgame. Frozen in Place stops his T2 attack, Ambush/Pass his early Mahatsu overlay (which works, thankfully), Double Frozen in Place kills his large Yutako. Enlighten T4 or T5.
R4: Mantis Magistrates. He doesn't seem to find much Open PK and only finds one Sudden Blockade. Enlighten T4 or T5.
R5: Scorpion Dishonor. Enlighten on my T4 after Harsh Choices + Imperial Gift + Benefices (cards) in one turn.
R6: Unicorn. 3x Grateful + Sneak + At Any Cost 2/1 guy means he has enough force to take a T3 province. I box Grateful, RoEarth saves province. I manage to Power of Night his Grateful'd up personality, take control of game w/ pk, enlighten on T5-T6.

T8: Both games against Mantis Nonhuman go similarly:
He buys a lot of gold, I buy less gold, he buys a couple guys, I buy one guy, he kills my guy and buys more, I buy one guy, he takes a province, I'm forced to load up a super unit, he keeps taking province, I fail to do anything meaningful, he either Sachina's or Heir's Wrath's my super unit, I scoop."
