WTF Gain 2 honor?

Wow, TPW is the set for shuggies.

This may sound weird, but I am seriously considering this guy for a goofy LSC deck. Not for the honor gain, that's just gravy, I like that ability out of that SH, though I doubt this idea will see competative play.

mmm I'm not sure.... maybe they could have fit another trait in there or something...

TPW is also the set for non-humans... also keep in mind he doesn't have Shadowlands so there is no reason to lose honor

Except for the fact that he took the Chuda name and all.

"Infiltrator" fixes that problem nicely.

True, though Yuhmi has a significant honor loss and he's decidedly easier to pass of for Rokugani I imagine. Though what is a "Jorogumo" anyways?

funny thing is...it ain't shadowlands.

not sure what to make of this one, the combination of traits and abilities strike me as geared to a weird "poison them from the inside" sort of honor-y artisan-y thing. Which while comboing well with existing personalities makes me scratch my head. Still, I find myself liking it, not quite sure why.

According to our trusty Wikipedia, a shapechanging spider. It's basically one of many Japanese infiltrator-type creatures (rokurokubi, nukekubi, pennaggolan, pekkle, futakuchi-onna, etc.).

Specifically typically a beautiful woman simmilar to a bog hag, or the multitude of other mystical creatures that desguise themselves as such to lure in human prey.

I think it's fairly interesting for breeder honestly as he can perform the various breeder things while slowing your opponent down and weakening him outside of battle, though he's designed so as to not strictly support the build. I like his flexability.

I don't know why, but I see this guy played in some groovy honor decks... additional gain during the Dynasty phase + force reduction? I think this helps reaching 40H.

I would have completely looked over that.

Limited bow tech is pretty good I hear. It makes vigilant eyes playable.

also: token penalties help out TSD.

I'll have to try him out.

This is going to make Spider Honor over the top! Hordes of Zombies for defense. Every honor holding to gain. Oki dying and then coming back w/Emma O's Guidance. Enticement of the enemy to sacrafice them to Power Corrupting all while gaining honor. The only problem is trying to slow down other honor decks.
