From The Sensei: Crane Strategy for The New OrderTo say the Crane Clan in Ivory Edition has had a strong selection of cards and decks to choose from would be a bit of an understatement. There aren’t many who will deny that the Powder Blues haven’t been in a very strong position overall for the majority of the arc. Crane Scouts have been undeniably the most popular and frequently played Crane decks for the majority of the arc, and those inclined to play as the Daidoji get a couple of very strong Personalities in TNO in Daidoji Nozomi and her ‘Navalry’ and in the 4F Conqueror Daidoji Tomomi. Both are excellent midgame Personalities that can easy be incorporated into the current Scouts lineup.I, however, have always been an Honor player. It’s what I love to do, and what I think Crane does very well. Defensive Honor has always been a deck that will just flat out beat you if you approach it unprepared, and was always one of the first things my friends and I would put together in order to test our various military builds against.Moving into Strict play, I think Crane have a very strong presence as a defensive honor deck, and that’s something I’m going to talk about a little tonight.PRE-GAME (1)Esteemed House of the CraneDYNASTY (40)Events (1)1x Wisdom GainedHoldings (18)3x Carpenter Shrine3x Defensive Memorial3x Marketplace2x Kabuki Theater Troupe1x Counting House3x Poorly Placed Garden3x Famous BazaarPersonalities (21)3x Kakita Burei3x Doji Shimada3x Doji Soeka3x Daidoji Kinta3x Doji Etsuki1x Doji Makoto, the Smiling Blade1x Yasuki Makoto, Imperial Advisor1x Doji Katata3x Doji Takato, the ManipulatorFATE (41)Rings (3) -1x Ring of Air1x Ring of the Void1x Ring of EarthStrategies (38)3x Block Supply Lines3x Sanctioned Duel3x Benefits of Honor3x Inexplicable Challenge3x Planned Departure3x Soul’s Sacrifice2x Beset From All Sides2x Wheels Within Wheels3x A New Alliance3x Discretionary Valor3x Show No Mercy3x Imperial Summons2x Progressive2x Flashy TechniqueFirst things first, you won’t find any really showy tricks here, or fancy combos. This a very solid, standard defensive honor deck, one capable of rolling with the punches and dealing with a wide variety of opponents and issues.We’re running a single Event, Wisdom Gained, to provide us with some easy deck thinning to obtain whatever Rings we want to use.Holding-wise, this is all very standard fare for defensive Crane Honor, and the inclusion of so many Honor-producing Holdings is one of the main reasons we are opting not to go with either of the Crane focused Theme Sensei. While Akagi and Tadanobu are both certainly great in their own respective decks, here they simply can’t hold a candle to a 3 Honor producing PPG.So far, you may have noticed we haven’t been touching much on TNO cards, but we’ll be farming quite a few for our Personality base. We’ll be using 3x Doji Shimada, as 4G for a 2F/3C/3PH Personality is a price point that is hard to ignore. On a sub-optimal turn 2 gold draw, we can still hope for the chance to grab a 2GC holding and proclaim Shimada to set up early favor control. 2F is just enough to make him count as a chump blocker, and we’ll be getting some legwork out of his 3PH for cards like Soul’s Sacrifice. With 3C he’s not the world’s best dueler, but in a pinch he can sling a Sanction Duel with some confidence.Next up, we’ll be grabbing Yasuki Makoto, who, while not a Crane, definitely has a place in this deck. Defensive decks are pretty notorious for burning out their resources quickly in a decisive mid-game defense play, then leaving themselves tapped out when it comes time to protect the last province. Anything that can draw us cards is a good thing, and there are few better at it than Makoto. She’s well worth her 8GC out-of-Clan price point, and that she’s a Courtier for slinging things like Inexplicable Challenge or Beset >From All Sides in a pinch is just gravy.Finally, we’re picking up Doji Takato, the Crane Love Letter Personality. His Interrupt does have a random chance to allow you to pitch a card you don’t immediately need in order to possibly flush a key card from your opponent’s hand, or even pick up one that could cinch you the game. Tossing a Beset From All Sides and randomly discarding my Lion opponent’s Sun Returns or stealing his Soul’s Sacrifice is a trade I will never feel bad about making. His statline is also fantastic for his cost as a 4C/3PH Personality for 5G, meaning he can issue Sanctioned Duels and Beset From All Sides with the best of them.Heading over to the Fate-side, we see a pretty standard mix of defensive Honor selections, a mix of send-home actions and some kill cards, with a light peppering of open control in Imperial Summons. Like I said before, I am not really one for fancy tricks when it comes to defensive Honor decks. We have a few other options we could look at subbing out here if we don’t like what we have. The Sanctioned Duels, for example, can easily swap out for 3x Serenity if we want more battle kill (which Personalities like Shimada or Kakita Burei would be all too happy to perform). Instead of the ever-popular Victory Through Deference, we’ve decided to try out a somewhat similar alternative, TNO’s A New Alliance. There are several strong Spells in TNO, and the ability to shut down abilities on both troublesome Dynasty and Fate cards in play at once and draw is a bargain at the 2G Invest cost.In closing, while this may not be a killer deck that you can use to utterly dominate your local environment or a larger tournament scene, this kind of solid Honor deck is the type I as a Crane player have always enjoyed, and the type I have often enjoyed using to beat people who don’t bother to take Honor into consideration . Moving into the Strict environment, expect to see Honor in general make a stronger showing at the tables across various Clans, but Crane will continue to be the Clan that sets the standard that all the others will be reaching for, and testing against.
Największy bullshit to wcale nie Sanctionedy, a Beset From All Sides gość sam pisze, że:"you won’t find any really showy tricks here, or fancy combos. This a very solid, standard defensive honor deck"A wciska kartę do wyszukiwania kombosa, która nawet z dyshonorów wyleciała, bo 2G i bow courtiera to za duży koszt jak na tak biedne efekty.Reszta to raczej standardowe kart honorowo-obronne. Złoto ma raczej słabe i nie wyrobi się z płaceniem za wszystko, zwłaszcza, że twierdza to 4 Golda w plecy. Insza inszość, że gość pisze o graniu stricta, a wspomina o odrzuceniu Tadanobu i Akagiego.Etsuki też tu trafił chyba przez przypadek, bo dyshonorowania brak.
Może na początku miało być inaczej. Ale bez tych wyjątków w strickie nie byłoby domków. W każdym razie na forum stoi że sensie i domki są legalne w stricture.

A może jakieś źródła? Ja od MacBetha dostałem info, które z waszymi postami tak nie do końca się zgadza... Np. nie ma ani słowa o promo (decyduje kleks oraz data legalności samej promki) ani o tym że karty się "przeterminowują".Cytat: MacBeth2001PRIVATE MESSAGEStrongholds and Sensei printed in the year's Base Set are exceptions to the "Bug Rule" of Strict.Ivory Edition SH/Sensei are legal for 2014 Strict, despite lacking the Dark Blue bug.20 Festivals SH/Sensei are legal for 2015 Strict, despite lacking the Black bug.
Domki i senseie z IV są legalne w strict pomimo braku buga. Brak buga oznacza, że nie będą legalne w następnym arcu. Przynajmniej tak stoi na forum AEG.
