Weird one, not a good card for those chasing honor victory, but a good adjunct to Scorpion dishonor.
Maybe just too weak for a 2-coster though.
For a conflict charcter it is not bad, might help out Scorpion dishonor strats if we get an air role in the future.
Generally speaking 1 card is worth 2 honor and 1 card is worth a little bit less than 1 fate.
The problem with this statement is that those values change pretty fast within a game and in some games 1 honor is worth nothing (both players bidding 5) and in other games I happily trade 2 fate and 1 card (Seeker Kami) for 2 honor.
So weird being tied to honor role though.
Still, good for City of the Open Hand decks, because they're always fate hungry and can offset honor losses.
Which is great, because City of the Open Hand decks were really weak, and needed a boost to deal with all those scary tourney-winning Unicorn decks, right?
well, currently scorpion can't use him, and I don't think they would aim for air role instead of fire.
Only crane can use him now. And 2 military from hand is quite good for crane.
Sorry yeah, thinking towards the next role.
Seeker of Air / Seeker of Void seem like the sensible places for Scorpion to keep oscillating between.
backhanded compliment seems very strong, so I assume they aim to keeper of fire for this and Feast or Famine. Would be insanely strong
