Hey, just curious... so, if I'm playing a Naga deck using the Eternal Well of the Akasha stronghold, what is my clan identifier?
I presume it's not merely "Naga" cards, right? That would include Moto Naleesh and Mirumoto Shikei, both are Loyal.
Clan identifiers in Ivory+ are determined by the clan mon in the corner of the card and watermark, right?
Akasha
Has the naga mon on the card
Naga is essentially a Nonhuman descriptor in this case. Akasha is the Clan identifier
thanks!
Except for the ones that are human, like Naleesh and Shikei, the very ones that schlorg mentioned. 😛 But yeah, Clan Alignment is only determined by Mon in the title box, not any keywords.
Sun & Moon doesn't seem to support that, but I was able to work it out.
This will become more relevant as things that are not necessarily Naga perhaps fall under the Akasha Clan umbrella in the future
yeah, what's up with that actually? Do Naleesh and Shikei count as non-human?
They are human
Anything that isn't Nonhuman is implicitly human by default
No. They are human, but also Naga. There is no implicit Nonhuman.
okay... I didn't notice at first, but Naga cards do indicate they're nonhuman
I was abotu to ask about that point, since Naga are non-human
Shikei is quarter naga
The only implicit/default keywords any cards have are human and infantry. Anything else will be explicit.
cool
His legs are Naga. And one of his ears
"Mareshi! To ze kitchen!" -Mirumoto Kei
They both have Naga ancestors, which is why they have the keyword. And fairly recent ones. Shikei’s grandmother and Naleesh’s mother. Although Naleesh’s mother is…weird. And this probably isn’t the place to dive into all that. But that’s why they have the keyword. There are a few other cards that have naga blood with the keyword.

Hi! Quick, probably bad question. I haven't played since Emperor, and i am really happy that this project is so alive! I was a bit confused with the Strongholds, by that i mean the 2 same name Strongholds for the clans. Is supposed to be a two faced card, or a choice?
2 faces. One if you go first, the other if you go second. It was introduced in Ivory.
White border is the "going 2nd" side.
Oh so its the new version of the Bamboo harvesters and border keep stuff. Thanks for Clearing that up! So basically if i went second i get a more powerful one that can be flipped to be the regular one for a quick cash infusion?
Yes
Correct. While the 2 sides was new with Ivory, the quick-cash option was new with Onyx. Also, Legacy Holdings returned and replaced Border/Bamboo.
Thanks for the answers! This set looks awesome tbh, looks like i will have to learn sun and moon
Welcome! The Onyx stuff is currently mostly a release/continuation of things that were already in various states of readiness when L5R was sold in 2015. The later and continued releases are all new, but all designed by a lot of the same team who worked on it officially at that time.
I found the project around a week ago, can't stop deckbuilding, and i feel my excitement returning 😄
Jump on the sun and moon discord channel too! There is a LFG channel there.
Let me know if you need the link
