The Honesty of the Phoenix

Have you been able to test this using a Crab splash for some good dishonor effects opposed to Scorpion? My concern would be the 3 influence for Watch Commander, but maybe once we get a Keeper role this will be more viable.

Her combined with Seeker of Knowledge means using three ring effects each conflict they're at...

How about yes please! If this is the direction we're headed, then LOOK OUT other clans...Phoenix is here to stay (about time, too)!

I'm curious to see changes you'd make to this deck with 3 cores. I've been pretty stoked about Phoenix dishonor after the spoilers came out (even if it won't be strong just yet), so I'd love to hear some opinions on the matter.

Yeah you're basically trading a dynasty card for a conflict card.

Could one of the admins change the border colors of the forum to orange? It just feels a little too...Crane-y around here for my tastes

It depends on how the kotei are ran. If local stores can run them (and earn the title through them), I'll certainly be gunning for it. I didn't see anything specifying that the title was reserved for only the major events (like Worlds), but I also just as easily could have missed something. In eithe...

While I do think that SD + KM is the best option right now for us, I really think people are undervaluing the extra influence. At 13 it really hits the sweet spot for splashing another clan (especially if multi-clan splashing becomes available down the road).

My concern with Tsukune is that it takes people passing on conflicts to make her ability useful. Sure, proccing an extra ring for free is good, but I feel most times you'll only be getting one ring, not two. Even then, the ring of water would be useless to proc at the end of the conflict phase, so r...

Eh, I'm a little worried we're going to be the clan that gets the "crappy out of the box; really amazing after a few expansions" treatment. I'm really not sold on Tsukune, either.

I'm really starting to think that a Phoenix/Scorpion or Phoenix/Crab dishonor deck could be extremely viable. We'll have to wait until the Scorpion spoilers, of course, but even now splashing a bit of Crab for dishonor looks promising. Not a route I was expecting from Phoenix, but if I'm being hones...
