So, it looks like Budoka is not going to die. It's interesting, but this guy has promise. Sad lack of the Naval trait, but that's probably the only thing keeping him boxable.

No that's the only thing that will keep him out of decks. As a Samurai this guy blows.

Screw Samurai. I was looking at him for the shugenja trait. I'd rather run this guy over Amika. That and there's potential to play around with Kane and other budoka-y crap.

Well, we can just think of him as a non-unique boxable shugenja! Not too shabby there!

I also think that people are overlooking the fact that he also has 2 PH. That trumps Saburo for numbers. So what he doesn't have the naval trait. Slap a clan armor on him and you've got a 3/5 shugenja with naval.
I think the biggest downfall is that he doesn't have as much chi as most of our current shugenja pool. Then again, he does have comparable force. All in all, I like it. So, I'll shut up about it now.

Did Scout and Shugenja get some sort of synergy while I wasn't looking? No, no they didn't. A "could be good in the future with the right support" card.

His art also implies he was REALLY meant to be a shugenja, anyway. Well, looks like it's time to come up with a shuggie/scout build!

I don't know. To be perfectly honest, I'm glad to be seeing stuff that doesn't just reward playing a crap ton of attachments out of EHP. That may be our strongest archetype right now, but it's boring and predictable, especially considering that the pool of items/spells/followers you're going to use are rather limited for things you're going to want to drop in the middle of combat.
Though, I would like to see some quality weapons and armors, but I'm not going to get my hopes up.

Needs more naval. Other than that, one more for Mantis box party.
...oh yeah, and Budoka needs to die. Now.

Because what we really needed was one more nonunique Naval shug. Instead, we get this guy. Oh well, there's always next expansion...

Are Budoka even allowed to even have a Gempukku? I thought that, that particular status, could only be granted to them if they earned it, along with a Family Name?
