L5R (Legend of the Five Rings) CCG

[GeneralHZRD he/him]

Hey, L5R is a collectible card game that has recently been rebooted. Only the base set is out right now, but new sets will be coming out soon. 

Just wondering if anyone else is going to be playing the new Legend of the Five Rings reboot.

If so, what faction are you playing for? 

I’m playing for the Lion clan.

I'm a Crane player myself. Currently splash Unicorn, but that could change depending on what new cards come out and if our role becomes a Keeper of Something rather or another.

My brother is playing Crane, they seem really cool. I was considering playing Unicorn or Scorpion. Unicorn seemed a little complicated for me, (I like plain and simple smash in your face,) and I couldn’t get behind the whole lore and theme of the Scorpion.

 Lion is definitely smash in your face! You might also like Crab. They are not as straight forward Hulksmash as Lion, but they have some pretty nasty attachments. 

Of course, you can't rely on attachments... not with Dragon's Let Go being a prevalent card. 

I'm hoping Unicorn gets some good cards in the upcoming cycle. They have an interesting play style, but they can't quite seem to take advantage of it.

I would consider Crab but my brother (a different one) is playing them. We decided to all pick different teams so that we can split the packs instead of having to each buy them separately.

 What will you do about Neutrals and splashes?!

We all live in the same area, and we get together (to play games and stuff) all the time. So we'll probably just pass around the unused neutrals/extra clan cards to whoever is currently changing their deck. Personally it's a minor inconvenience when compared to the price of us all buying our own sets.

Funny how this topic has turned into a conversation between just you and I.

Sheesh, that new restricted list has left me a little salty! Our (Crane's) new Seeker of Fire role was a tough enough sell without forcing a choice between Guest of Honor and Feast or Famine.
