Legend of the Five Rings Decks



  Deck

Court of the Elements [Version: 48]

I WON THE 2ND PROVING GROUNDS AT PAX UNPLUGGED IN PHILADELPHIA AND GOT A SEAT AT WORLDS!!!! Phoenix with Crane splash. Please comment! I appreciate any suggestions. Crane is the best influence hands down! Scorpion and lion gave me a little bit of trouble. I mainly win through dishonor because I bid 1 every turn but against scorpion I find it better to go military and bid high when I can.

2nd Place Crane/Phoenix Deck - Release Event (Athens 90 players) [Version: 1]

Swiss Rounds (5-0)
The 2 first rounds were won by dishonoring against lion and dragon and the rest 3 by breaking their Stronghold. The games were fast ( 'cause of Phoenix Splash). When i started playing Crane i was testing them with Scorpion Splash for board control but the games were too slow and most of the losses were by dishonoring.
Top8 (Dragon/Lion)
The game was even from the beggining until the end, but spending more fate on my characters (control) was the key to break his stronghold as he had only 3 against 6 of mine.
Top4 (Scorpion/Phoenix)
I was nearly dishonored but the draw mechanics and Kakita Asami saved my game. (MVP especially against scorpion decks).
Final (Crab/Lion)
I played again with my best friend which i met in the swiss. It was a tough game. I pushed him very hard, but it wasn't enought to break his stronghold, that i attack twice. I lost against a heavy military attack when he played the last card from his hand.

Crane/Crab Top 8 Winter Warfare Athens (64 players) [Version: 1]

Swiss Rounds 5-1
I played against 3 scorpion, 2 lion, 1 crane. I lost from a scorpion 'cause i missplayed, otherwise i think i would have won it.
Top 8
I lost from the winner of the tournament, which i practiced with in previous days. He did some last changes in his deck and that was enough to win me with the element of surprise.

Crab/Lion deck Top 4 Winter Warfare Athens(64 players) [Version: 1]

Swiss rounds were pretty easy.I made it to top 8 with a 5-1

First round was vs Crane that it is one of my worst matchups but i had a great dynasty breakdown so i snowballed and broke stronghold in turn 3

Second round was vs a very good scorpion player that made me pretty anxious,i made a stronghold break at turn 6 never been under 5 honor the whole game

Third round I lost vs a lion(7th turn) that had a magistrate that pretty much made me something less than nothing xD and i had no rout,both of us hit eachothers stronghold twice.

Fourth round was a scorpion match up. It was scorpion dropbear spending no fate at any character he got so i won by turn 3

Fifth round was vs a phoenix that got me pretty low on honor but i had a stronghold break at turn 4 after getting him choked by card and field pressence.

Sixth round was a hard but fast game(21 min game) vs a scorpion we both had assasinations being played in turn 1 and 2 getting us to 3-4 honor each round we bid low so we had dynasty control,mines and a good court games won the field pressence so i got a stronghold break in round 5.

Top 8

Top 8 match was the most difficult game of the tournament for me.Crab vs Crab.I broke 4 provinces i had never bid 1 in the whole game but still had some honor left. I broke 3 provinces with iron mines on them so i could get the field pressence and pressured his card draw. he had early keeper iniciates so i focused on getting the earth ring in both offence and defence.I broke his stronghold at turn 10 with a force of 27.

Top 4

I played vs a very good player from our country the only one that had a 6-0 on swiss.I had a good dynasty/conflict but i tried to rush it down to his stronghold so i made a few missplays in the proccess that made me lose some key units early. I had no other choice but get a high bid to get me saved. Lost by dishoning eventually.

Finished top crab

Essentialist Scorpion, a Philosophy [Version: 6]

Reject the "jack of all trades/master of none" approach and capitalize on Scorpion's natural strengths by further developing their already impressive ability to control your opponent's resources.

One with the Elements [Version: 7]

Phoenix with Crane splash. Please comment! I appreciate any suggestions. Crane is the best influence hands down! Im currently undefeated. I am undefeated so far. I have played Dragon, lion, Scorpion (gave me a little bit of trouble), and Crab (they never stood a chance also I would always use my stronghold to cancel out the effects of their champion).

Crane Control [Version: 1]

Crane with lots of control options. Splashed scorpion for ultimate event lockdown and some value attachment-hate. Initial testing shows that the first 2 round are hard versus quick decks (like lion). Against slow decks (phoenix, dragon) it plays a bit easier. Not tested vs scorpion, crane mirror and crab (which imo should be the most difficult matchup)
