nyxnyxnyx - 4/5
Roughly the stats of a 1-cost character (slightly worse) with a relevant Bushi trait, if you’re willing to jump through a hoop. Lion has a bunch of more-honor-matters cards, and this is one of them, albeit only needing to tie. The requirement will be awkward to fulfill in some matchups, and might be restrictive for honor bids and including cards like Assassination. It’s a great card, but I would not be surprised to see this card being cut when better options appear later on to open up a playstyle for Lion that doesn’t require being up on honor.
 
Kingsley - 4/5
Obstinate Recruit provides great efficiency but with a significant weakness - if your opponent manages to get above you in honor, he gets discarded immediately! This makes putting fate on him very risky if honor totals are at all close, and even just playing him without fate has the potential to go badly. That said, zero fate for a 2/0 that can become a 3/0 when attacking is so good that this card is still very strong.
 
Benjoewoo – 4/5
Free guys are generally good. Free guys are amazing for swarm. These guys are free, with a drawback that will often only matter in the mirror or if you bid aggressively. Solid for 2/0, so they can at least participate in political in case you want to avoid unopposed and the like.
 
I Fight Dragons – 4/5
So long as you remain more honorable than your opponent, which is a feat that’s not terribly difficult with Lion, this guy is a Fine Katana with a body. Free characters should never really be passed over, and this guy is no exception and one of the main reasons for Lion to consider their honor total when making decisions in the game.
 
Grendel – 5/5
0 for 2 with a drawback that is pretty easy to avoid or mitigate with staging ground/gunso.
