Siege: Heart of Darkness... Won't have any new Ivory-legal cards in it.

We don't know that for sure, yet. It has three legal decks, and a raid deck. We don't know if those decks have new cards in them, and we also don't know if any of the cards in the raid deck will be legal. We don't have any unaligned strongholds yet so I personally am hoping the raid stronghold will be Ivory legal.

So some stuff about other formats, like Big Deck!

Ninja stronghold (the holding)! I am working on BD Ninja now, using the Dark Path of Shadow because it's busted and treats the ninja keyword as a faction trait.

Asked this in the last thread but never really got an answer. Considering returning to L5R after a 10 year break. Played lion but was not a huge fan of the military deck I was playing - I will probably be getting one of the starter decks this weekend.
Right now I am looking at Crane, Mantis, Scorpion and Phoenix. I would like to be able to play honor / dishonor semi-competitively when I get better at the game.

I will agree that Scorpion is the way to go for dishonor. Be aware, a key dishonor card, Brilliant Cascade Inn, is the chase card in the set right now. Also, I have it on good authority that Spider honor is getting a boost in The Coming Storm. Watch the previews for the next couple weeks, and our opinions might change!

Big Deck is pretty legit. I tend to play Toturi's Army or Brotherhood of Shinsei. Shinsei are way loving better in BD then they ever were in actual L5R since their clan keyword is off the hook crazy.

Monk BD is something I have been kicking around for a bit in my head. Shameless abuse of rings and kiho. Running sensei that align people to you can expand that into giggles too: Aktoktuck Sensei gives all ratlings the Monk keyword? Deal.

Teachings are controversial for being "gently caress it, do what you want" which isn't the Done Thing in Rokugan, essentially. It;s seens as discarding the Virtues of Bushido and is kind of taking some of the blame for the mess in the Second City.

Yup, rugged individualism is frowned upon in Rokugani society.

Where the PR guys just, you know, not good at the game? Or was a it a five-man Kotei; because this arch it would be believable.

Anyone still into this? I'm dusting off my cards for Modern and BigDeck, trying to track down all the newest IvE expansions. Seeing all the clans make cut at major tournaments makes me think, "Oh, hey, balance."

I've got my trade list cleaned up and posted on the AEG forums so click this and trade me cards.

Is anyone playing extended formats like BigDeck or Modern yet? I'm getting old cards out and sorted, hoping this is somewhat worth my time.

If you missed it elsewhere Fantasy Flight Games has purchased L5R and will be releasing it as an LCG in 2017.

This is AEG's release on the topic.
