(Although I had both decks going for Military win only) In my test games, the Phoenix definitely had the advantage early on. As the Scorpion, I wouldn't even defend unless I had a clear numbers of personality advantage at the battle. In general, I focused on churning out personalities as fast as I could, while the phoenix always seemed to need to spend gold on followers and spells to achieve a blitz factor and early advantage. Usually, one stiff defense was all I needed to start stalling out the phoenix every time.<br /><br />I still think both decks are close in relative power, the Phoenix has an early advantage, while the Scorpion deck is made for more of a late game imo. Every test game seemed to run into the mid or late game, which is why I gave the Scorpion a slight advantage.<br /><br />Granted, it could also be a play style thing. As a scorpion player, I'm used to always going second, and giving up a provence (or even 2 in extreme cases) with no defense, while I set up my side of the board and/or my hand. It could also have been the Phoenix play style as well, things may have turned out differently if they had focused more on personality generation and the later game than the early blitz offense.<br /><br />Thanks again for reading and posting a comment! =)Loonboss Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08664622941225788475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1858087159371928343.post-12458511521664090632013-01-08T19:11:29.342-08:002013-01-08T19:11:29.342-08:00It's interesting that you found the Scorpion t...It's interesting that you found the Scorpion to have the edge- were you playing with the modified rules in the box, or the full L5R rules? I'm new to the game, and we were having a lot of trouble with the Scorpions getting overwhelmed by the Phoenix's initial advantage- they never had enough guys alive to really play with the bow tricks.
