It does hamstring Sonnia a little in turn 1, but boosts your lineup.<br /><br />I tried it this evening (to a lesser extent) with Kirai and it worked ok with the Gaki. Had Datsu-Ba got her trigger and summoned an Onryo instead it would definitely be worth it.<br /><br />However, the cards deserted me this evening and I got hammered by Lilith so not feeling overly positive about the game.The Dark Templarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03051984305736707874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5660965914860481092.post-37309890539497457572012-01-17T21:40:47.679+00:002012-01-17T21:40:47.679+00:00Interesting idea for desperate mercenaries, I'...Interesting idea for desperate mercenaries, I'm gonna have to pass that one along!Victoriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02305115142222359101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5660965914860481092.post-55951353493333225232012-01-16T13:48:46.853+00:002012-01-16T13:48:46.853+00:00Actually I re-listened to an older Gamers Lounge e...Actually I re-listened to an older Gamers Lounge episode where Dan talked about Ressers and Kirai in particular. I have tried the swirling thing in last week's game, and the theory is great. I just need to implement it consistently.<br /><br />I've also been using Seishin to Empower (2 action) nearby Spirits instead of just passing, giving them +2CB which boosts the humble Onryo nicely.The Dark Templarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03051984305736707874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5660965914860481092.post-50062714532517332712012-01-16T13:29:16.496+00:002012-01-16T13:29:16.496+00:00Got one game in borrowing Dan's crew.

The big advantage was that she was a spirit with a ton of wounds. I've seen Dan use her by throwing her out, then when she was getting low on wounds, yanking her back to Kirai by swapping places and healing her back up.wrabbit37https://www.blogger.com/profile/03269242991395292135noreply@blogger.com
