This deck is inspired by Haks fanfic. People say is a cheap imitation of the Spider breeder. I concur I want to make it better for the Puerto Rico Kotei and at least win the political...lol...Any ways I want to see your opinion and how can I make the deck more themy or militarish...

Stronghold: BRT, but thinking on changing it to CoT

Dynasty

Events
Wrath of the people
A Gruesome Display

Personalities
1 Shiba Ningen
2 Fatina
3 Chuda Jinsei
2 Isawa Yutako
2 Isawa Miniko (thinking on changing her for Fosu and another Yutako)
3 Isawa Mizuhiko
3 Isawa Tokiko
3 Shiba Erena

Holdings
2 Supply Outpost
1 HToTR
1 Private Trader
3 Silver Mine
3 Secluded Waystation
3 Lesser Shrine
3 Rich Coffers
3 War Encamptment

Fate
Actions
2 Banish all Shadows
3 The Saga of Taki
2 Gempukku Ceremony (thinking on changing it with Power Corrupting...I need 3)
3 Subtle Corruption
2 Rapid Deployment
2 Stay your Blade
2 Inspire Fear
3 Wheel within Wheels
2 Assassin's Strike
2 Spearhead (changing it to Essence of Evil)
2 Master of the Rolling River
1 Recruiting Allies (I want to add 2 more)
1 Caught in the Act
2 Flame of Truth
1 Sap the spirit

Spells
2 Earth Becomes Sky
2 Summon Maseru no Oni
2 Consumed by 5 Fires
2 Inferno's Tooth
2 Earthen Guardians

The main thing with this deck is to make lots of samurai and ghouls to take the provinces even if I am at my last province and cannot produce ppl...My problem with it is that Fatina comes most of the time in way too early in the game and have to discard it. If I keep BRT I would like to play the Phoenix Strengh but don't know what to take out...

PHX strength is just a horrible card. Don't worry about it if you insist on playing BRT. I'd recommend CoT though as that box is better for everything. I'd just make believe the other 3 don't exist, it's that good.

i agree with GRIM. BRT has a great ability but was never supported. All the follower support is going to commanders. We have 1 commander, thus no follower support. CoT is really a good box for military and control. Looks like a military deck but you will want to speed things up a bit i think. besieged? shisa infestation? daizan is a star. i strongly question and deck he is not in. how about the IG Kiho Call forth the dead? seems right up you ally.

I bolded what i'd change dynasty side, but the fate i'd completely gut

COT, i guess

Thanks guys for your insight. I will play test this deck some of your sugestions to see how it works out. I will tell you later what worked and what didn't.

I agree with Alex almost completely. The only thing I would suggest is:
Dynasty:
Run Tadaka no Oni and Arrival of the Phoenix, consider running Temple of the Righteous Emperor


Fate:
Run A Terrible Oath.
You may want to run Call Forth the Dead instead of Earthen Guardians.

Thanks Kevin for that sugestion I had forgotten about Call forth the Dead...that card can explain much in the story I am planing for this deck.

So this is the new vesion I had to change some things because I realized truely about the honor loss... also I needed some out of battle kill actions and some honor meta...
City of Tears
Dynasty
1 A Gruesome Display
1 Wrath of the People
3 Lesser Shrine
2 Private Trader
3 Rich Coffers
1 Shrine to Fukurokujin
3 War Encampment
3 Silver Mine
2 Temple of Unity
1 High Temple of Toshi Ranbo
3 Isawa Mizuhiko
3 Isawa Takesi
3 Isawa Tokiko
3 Shiba Erena
2 Fatina
3 Chuda Jinsei
1 Shiba Ningen - exp 2
2 Isawa Yutako

Fate
2 Power Corrupting
3 Subtle Corruption
2 Banish All Shadows
3 The Saga of Taki
3 Wheels within Wheels
2 Rapid Deployment
2 Stay Your Blade
2 Recruiting Allies
2 Caught in the Act
1 Sap the Spirit
2 Inspire Fear
1 Unfortunate Incident
1 Desperate Wager
2 Hired Killer
2 Summon Maseru no Oni
2 Consumed by Five Fires
2 Walking the Way
2 Seeking the Way
2 Ritual of Summoning
2 Touch of Ice

I don't suffer that much if the lesser shrines come to play early in the game because I use them to compensate for the honor loss from creating a samurai from Jinsei... I added the touch of Ice to see if I can get the honor...i think ppl don't mind giving honor when you are below the starting family honor besides if the horde of undeads are coming you might want your ppl unbowed...but then again thats mho

RE the honour loss I would have thought that would be a good reason not to give you the honour as it slows you down. 18 holdings is a lot.
