From the article - http://www.cardgamed...ew-dragon-r2110

 

I Fight Dragons – 5/5
Yokuni boasts amazing stats, especially when honored, and a ton of flexibility to take the best triggered ability on the board, essentially turning him into a 5/5 copy of whatever the best character on the board happens to be that turn. The flexibility for him to have very nice balanced stats and also take whatever ability is most useful makes him always a threat to consider while on the board and one of the best Clan Champions out of the core set.
 
Kingsley – 5/5
Among the best Champions in the core set, Yokuni has higher base stats than most, the flexibility to threaten both military or political breaks on his own, and a versatile and powerful ability which synergizes well with many of Dragon's best cards – not to mention potential craziness from copying an opponent's abilities! Excellent card.
 
Grendel – 5/5
I thought he was middle of the pack when I first started playing. I think he has proven himself time and time again in being the best champ and 5 cost character. Just extremely reliable.
 
Benjoewoo – 4/5
Right now, his ability isn’t always relevant because people are optimizing from relatively inconsistent pools. As more cards come out and decks become optimized with preferred cards instead of “what’s best of what’s left,” this guy could easily become one of the more powerful champions. Also court games turns this guy into an 8/8 with the best ability on the board, which trumps Tsukune’s 8/8 ability after conflict phase ends.
 
nyxnyxnyx - 4/5
5 for 5/5 is pretty good, though in general lopsided stats like Bayushi Shoju’s are preferable. Once again, high glory (3) hurts for Dragon. There are some good targets within Dragon to copy, and then there’s insane stuff from your opponent if they let you. I don’t think he does any one thing amazingly well, but I like that he’s so flexible. Also the only Bushi+Shugenja so far.

Interesting that he's a wizzard (shugenja.) This means that against the waves can be used to bow him.

Varies a lot according to the match-up this guy.

 

Against Lion, he is especially brutal. He can use Lion Pride Brawler's ability better than a Lion's Pride Brawler, and as Dragon aren't too shabby at the struggle for Imperial Favour, it's not at all uncommon to have Lion games where you can't play Ikoma Ujiaki because your opponent has favour and Yokuni.

 

In contrast, he's pretty poor against Phoenix, who tend to have a lot of high quality character powers which aren't driven off triggered abilities, and who tend to carry Against The Waves.

 

Best way to use him is to make sure that you've got the most synergistic abilities in your Dynasty deck: Niten Master everyone knows about, but Mirumoto Raitsugu is sometimes overlooked.

I think he's the best daimyo so far, though Kaede certainly gives him a run for his money for the throne of best unique character in the game.
