Hello my fellow EEers... figured that General Discussion was as good a place as any to start this thread.
I found EE through my friend in my CCG group, he started here but only has very limited availability, so needless to say, the student quickly outstripped the master.
That said, ,he remains my friend (lucky?!) and we continue to play the CCG regularly. I've been a very loyal Scorpion player since we started back up this Fall (around the time Empire at War came out), I have a pretty good Magistrate Control deck (for my area, which isn't super competitive), and I recently got a bunch of the missing pieces for my bouncing pyjama deck (ninja movement).
I also have the chassis for a Mantis Thunder Shug deck.
That said, are there any cards out of The Dead of Winter that you are especially looking forward to?
I know that personally I'm picking my Jimen and Muhito and Rain of Justice as quickly as possible (like when I get up this morning, I might even place my order online before I come to EE... which is like blasphemy.
Anyone else interested in a CCG conversation?
I look forward to the chatter!

I just started again, playing Lion, I don't know about you guys but it took me forever to find a store that sold the CCG.

That's because you live in Shiro Akodo and they frown on ccgs there. The Akodo are more into miniature gaming.

No one sells the game around here, and my group is pretty small (4ish people). That aside, I can't wait to try out the new Spider cards, especially the stronghold.

That is so true! Then again, I'm lucky to live next to the Crane lands, where I can get my CCG fix.

I started with the CCG, love the RPG,.... but the best version of L5R to me was definitely Clan War. Well.... perhaps until Emerald Empire...

What are good staple cards from the newest set? I haven't had time to read them all yet. I hear the new Lion non-unique rare is good.

If you interested in what the cards do or need a place to buy singles (if they're perhaps unavailable in your area) go to l5rsearch.com. This isn't a plug or anything, just a site I trust and use. I've played L5R off and on for nearly its entire existence. Started playing the RPG at my then local shop (RIP Cosmic) as a casual magic player who knew people at the store. That quickly turned into me playing the CCG and I quit magic. Throughout the years I've stopped and restarted playing the CCG but the RPG has been pretty consistent for me (I'm currently running a Thousand Years of Darkness game with my friends.)

I'll agree thats a great site. I use it to search for cards all the time, however I've never bought from there.

The shipping is fairly slow and you'll pay a premium for ultra-sought for cards but the prices are generally good. They also pack the packages with extra surplus common and uncommon cards which is kinda neat

I do price comparisons between the 2. More often than not PlayCCG, Yasuki Jeremy, wins my business. But every now and then L5R search will try to pull a fast one when I am not supposed to be looking and offer awesome deals.

Heres a question, anyone know where I can get a De Bellis Yodotarium from, for less than an arm and a leg?
