Oracle of the Void #l5r

In case of Siege i'd say that Clan War is imho much much better than Heart of Darkness.

check this DropBox, i put there some L5R stuff including decklist, rulebooks, faq etc. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/vsabdrqgcqfqepp/AACNYaigHIRNTZvZVRq9K0joa?dl=0

Thanks a bunch!

The ban lists will certainly be helpful, that was one of tbe big things I was wondering about.

here's a collection of late Emperor decklists that I've found handy -- https://www.strangeassembly.com/2013/gates-of-chaos-decklists-1

there is also the Akodo War College -- https://akodowarcollege.wordpress.com/category/emperor-arc/

Also in DropBox above. Decks/Emperor folder. Every deck with GoC, AM, CoM in its name is from late Emperor as well.

Anyway expansion acronym in decks name there means its a deck built around this moment. So its also helpful to someone who would like to how some decks looked eg at beginning of arc (EE), in the middle (TA) or in the end (GoC, CoM)

is there another reliable place to buy expansion packs that are "out of stock" in fantasy flight games' site? i'm located in asia btw

re: living card game not the alderac cards (i have tons but not planning to collect all)... i want to collect every card because of great artwork

Exquisite Silk Works was released in Gates of Chaos that got premiere in September 2013. It was after Gencon and few month before Ivory edition. Also as it was really late Emperor, meta was dominated by military decks, and Scorpion dishonor decks werent popular/viable. And even in dishonor field, Yasuki Crab dishonor deck was more powerful than Scorpion. If you check eg those GoC decklist from Strange Asssembly above, there's this Crab dishonor that won Second Chance tourney at Euros and it contains 3xESW

don't know. I never bought any L5R LCG product. Best way is probably to hunt whole collection from someone than separate packs

Ah ok, that makes sense actually. I saw some other strange assembly articles for I think Torn Asunder and back and saw lots of scorpion wins and then saw there was only 1 scorpion deck here, so makes sense.

It's instant.

Whereas you can drop an Entrapping Terrain, and get hit with duels, Ranged Attacks, etc.

Plus it's 4FV, and depending on the arc, you can equip and use in one go.

got it, thank you

Also, under the proper set up, it can lock your opponent out of every battle.

Battle: Target your unit in your home: Straighten it and move it to the current battlefield.

The text on the card doesn't line up with the text from Oracle. But I know the text from Oracle is correct because this card was reigning terror throughout my playgroup. Why can't isn't the original text available?

That's because the game went through some templating and rewording in latter arcs, as AEG changed some rules and such.

So a ton of old cards got reworded to modern templates, and sometimes got changed a lot.

Oh.

That's because the current/recent rules clarified that Units can't be in a Battle Resolution more than once a turn, so it's a game rule, as opposed to card effects and such.

See: Forced March

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

This card was printed in Gold.

As its bridge expansion. So in Gold you could be with same battle resolutions with same unit. So thats the restriction in text. When Diamond arrived it became rulebook restriction and this part of cards text became obsolete. Thats also why in Oracle it looks like this.

I checked. it was introduced in Lotus, so it was possible by rulebook in Diamond.

But wasn't first printing of Tireless Assault in Heaven & Earth that was dual bugged gold/diamond expansion?

H&E version:

Training Grounds version:

H&e was the first version, yeah

So it's in there

Sounds to me like someone didn't know about the second battle phase rule, and tried to use it that way when that part of the text was assumed.

Which is unfortunately easy to do...

Boy are you in for some disappointment.

So good news bad news.

I'll see about digging up a link to kempy_nezumi's Box account, where he's archived almost every arc's rulebooks, various decklists, and so on.

Side note, you can play the L5R CCG by yourself or online with others with the Sun and Moon client.

The bad news is that AEG really, really changed the game, especially for the last couple of arcs. You wouldn't recognize the rules, the setting, almost any of it, if you got out that far back.

That should do the trick there. From there you'll find pinned posts with tons of info.

Also includes community-made rules for various new formats, across either the entire CCG, or chunks of it spanning several years, like Modern for all the new card faces, and so on.

I tried getting back into the game for Ivory/20F, and couldn't stomach all the changes.

I know its a dead game with no players, so I'm treating it like a board game I alone own. I'm excited to build some decks but I have so many cards now that changing the starter decks is an intimidating experience

Its actually kind of nice not knowing what the meta was back in the day, but I'm curious if there is any info online about strategies. I can't seem to find much at all

There's plenty of players left, and with some timing, you can find people to play with online. At the same time, there's still in-person players left. There was a tourney in Europe recently with a bunch of people showing up and playing Clan Wars arc (Imperial through SCC).

Most sites about strategy and the like are gone, and you have to use archive.org to fish them out from a decade ago.

Yeah, those are gone. And forums are notoriously hard to archive, so those are mostly gone.

Especially the AEG ones, they abruptly shut them down when the sale was announced, and then they had multiple backups fail, so the community couldn't rescue them. Sad, really.

Its great to see that there are a few discords like this one around

Yeah, IRC for the modern decade.

Mmhmm.

Well, for Emperor/Ivory, there's still sites with content up: https://www.strangeassembly.com/tag/l5r/page/6

Navigate further back and you'll get deck lists and set reviews and all that.

That looks great, thanks so much!

Does Oracle have a proxy creator? I've found some old posts that seem to suggest that. I'd love to create a card of my rpg character 🙂

It has a thing that you can print existing cards nine per page

Check the pins for kempy's box account

I pinned it a long time ago since we kept handing it out

Awesome! That is going to be a much better solution compared to what I was doing. Right now I'm specifically looking for blank personality cards so I can create cards for people in my rpg group. I don't suppose that's a thing?

Perfect, I'm looking now. Thank you!

Sadly there's no templates here. But that's good idea to add them.

you may search for magic set editor, there are exist data for non-mtg games like l5r

try here, non-magic set editor shoudl have them https://magicseteditor.boards.net/page/downloads

This is absolutely perfect, thank you so much!

Or will a poison token suffice?

thought so. thanks.
