If Lion swap to air anytime, I think I'd enjoy using this in my Honourable Deck. Pretty sure it would be an easy include for a Crane Honourable deck too. Scorpion or Phoenix could get a lot out of it, as it instantly gets dishonoured guys right back up on top again.

Taking this card only for scorpion match-up seems too niche. I'd rather take it if I have the cards that dishonor my guys. Spies in court, for example. 

I mentioned in the fora I don't think this is that great, unless you're up against Scorpion. Most of the time it's a more-expensive Way of the Crane. When you get the full effect, you're still spending a fate for that extra honoring.

Not saying its weak, by any means, but I don't think it makes the cut in anything other than a dedicated honor-victory deck.

While I don't think that this card is "OP, pls restrict", I think it is really good. Against Scorpion it is obviously extremly strong, but also against other decks it is good to be able to lose a fire conflict or catching a random Court Games without losing your board presence. And even if your 2+ glory character isn't dishonored, this card can create enough value to offset the cost of 1 fate and 1 card.

I am always in favor of cards that make Doji Hotaru more playable. Would not mind playing this in phoenix if they get a seeker of air role.

Originally, I was thinking that this was just a more expensive way of the crane too.

But thinking about it more, unless it's someone who's skill is totally wiped out, I'd never use Way of the Crane on a dishonored person, because I could use it on a status-less person instead, as most crane cards interact with people being honorable (the storyteller, noble sacrifice, voice of honor, etc).

So while this card is a more expensive way of the crane in most contexts, you would probably never use them on the same targets

Also noteworthy, self-dishonor is not limited to Scorpion. With this you can win a POL conflict, Spy at Court, BAM, Honored.
