Crane Clan Strategy for Thunderous Acclaim By Aaron Frede | May 20, 2015 Samurai of the Esteemed Crane Clan! Welcome to the first expansion for Twenty Festivals Edition of the L5R CCG, Thunderous Acclaim. The current Kotei season has been an interesting one for Crane players. Overall, various forms of Crane Honor has been the most dominant deck for the clan. These have included dueling decks, decks focused on Magistrates, and Honor-Military switch decks.

We're going to look at a variation of the Crane Scouts deck that attempts to attack your opponent quickly, "blitz" style, while incorporating a few of those larger, stronger Personalities to help stabilize it in the midgame period.
