The Two Loyal are hard... but Miyako... i dont know if she will be played...
But Jutsushi is hard. dishonor as limited what scoprions like and then also kill a dishonorable Person... strong card.

I for one think Miyako is seriously hardcore. 4 chi and a double chi effect on the last drop? Kill through armor and everything else? Nice. Her a jutsushi mean 2 thoroughly solid printed PK.

Jutsushi is clearly going to be everywhere, but I for one think Miyako will see action.

I ask this as I'm about to go to bed, but does anyone know the clans that are getting strongholds out of this yet?

Thank you much =]

It's a good thing, you know, having Susume's yojimbo everywhere...

And yet no one can play them together :/

I dunno Centipede... Sure, you can't really play the duelist if you're below 0 honor, but Scorp doesn't really go below 0 in the honor matchup cause they don't need the unfortunate bomb... She just helps their military when they need to go that route surely?

I think Centipede was referencing the fact Susumu exp and Jutsushi exp are both Loyal, and therefore cannot be brought into play by the same player, mate.

I entirely retract, I thought the post was referencing what I said about Jutsushi and Miyako being out and about at the same time, referring to the 0 honor requirement on one and the - requirement on the other, and how scorps tend to hover at around -16 these days just to abuse unfortunate...

Cheerfully withdrawn =]
