Rules Q&A
- Q: One of the factors that has made PK so rampant, in my opinion, is the spilting of the favor into the four winds. Before, the versatility of the favor meant that a player could use it against military, dishonor, or help card drawing - all in the same game. Now a player has to decide what one aspect is the most useful.
Most people have decided that sending home militayr units is the most useful. as evidenced by the amount of people playing Tsudao (see OP stats). The problem then was that there was no good, decent, or reliable way to rehonor dishonored personalities, which are extremely vulnerable to PK in the gold environment.
Recently there have been attempts at fixing the problem - Island Sanctuary in KYOD, Loyal Yojimbo, Shrine of Reverse Fortunes, etc.; But a PK deck should be able to deal with these for the most part.
I, for one, would like to see a reliable way of rehonoring personalities.
A: By your own admission, there is one: Hantei Naseru. Yes, choosing Naseru means making your deck relatively weaker against military decks, but that is not a matter of dishonor-defense reliability. Naseru is EXACTLY as reliable for restoring live Personalities to honor as the Favor used to be. Jeff Alexander, "post for 8 Oct 2002", 9 Oct 2002
