With only two copies of a card, you would run at a minimum 15 different cards in a deck. This is a big change to before, and it means that you are playing a more diverse deck than you did with 40 cards and three copies of every card (also this confused me because it broke the rule of three!). The deck size dropped to a mere 30, but it's not at all less diverse, because: This one is a painful pill to swallow because a lot of good and fun cards are hidden behind the roles.ĭecks are 30 cards minimum and 40 maximum.
There are no roles in skirmish, which means a bunch of cards do not exist in this format because you cannot play any card that says "X role only" on them. Another simplification, and this one hurts a lot. It also means that all cards that care about face-up or face-down provinces don't work in this format, nor do any cards that care about the element of a province. This was very apparent for my style of decks, as I tend to lean heavily on my provinces to help mount a solid defence. This removes a significant advantage that the defender had. Each province you have is a blank card with 3 total strength. There are no more defensive bonuses for your provinces. This is another way the game is simplified. Cards that fall in that category lose a lot of their lustre in the skirmish mode. Radiant Orator without Isawa Mori Seidō is fairly easy to play around). Unfortunately, there are a number of cards that rely on a stronghold to shine (e.g. This is no longer the case, making the mental burden to keep up with all ongoing or on-table effects lighter.
The impact this has is immense, because strongholds would lead to very unique effects or they would radically warp how the game is played. No more stronghold! That's right, the most consistent card of your deck is gone. We still have our two decks from before, but there have been some big changes.
