I know what you're thinking: Leo's got another Samurai deck? Indeed, I do! Don't get me wrong, that deck certainly was fun to work with. But like with some of my earlier decks, I learned that the problem with them is that I had too many cards that were two or less copies, especially since I didn't have many win conditions to work with. As a result, my strategies were a bit flimsy, and my alliances were spread so thin that even Cal from Undergrads could beat me. So going forward, I've attempted to incorporate more 3's and 4's in my decks, trying to focus on multiple key outlets to rely on! And this new deck of mine is no exception!

I absolutely have to stick with You Are Already Dead 'cause, y'know, Kenshiro. :P And even when destroying can't help, dishing out damage certainly can! So I'm positive that both the instantaneous Wanderer's Intervention and the discard ability of Eiganjo, Seat of the Empire can yield great saves! Even The Wandering Emperor herself, when executed strategically, can save your tail from any potential threats thanks to her Flash mechanic!

Having Isshin, Two Heavens as One double the amount of triggered Samurai abilities can produce outstanding battles even with two copies of him!

Also! Going with something a little different and thematic here thanks to some helpful advice (I forget exactly who helped me though! Sorry! ;>w<)! The special land card, Secluded Courtyard! This helps me designate casting creature spells of a certain type! In the long run, it's actually kinda beneficial, especially if I'm running out of coloured land!

And I can't not have Cloudsteel Kirin once again. It's too damn good, especially when it's attached to a creature, and I'm at negative life! No joke, I won a friendly casual match with it against a broken Historic deck once! X3

I was thinking of adding card:Gogo-Goro, Disciple of Ryusei (NEO) again 'cause its secondary mana ability is fantastic, but I wasn't sure how to add in him here once again, so I just opted out of that for the time being.

Will these Samurai help cut my competition in half? Only one way to find out! :3
