Notes
Take your Crab Oni deck and mix it with the awesome economy of the Yoritomo Alliance.
The plan: have a very sxplosive start, play a personality in your first Dynasty pahse and start attacking overloading it with your force bonuses. Deplete your hand, refill with Ring of the Void that you can fetch with Kaede Sensei.
One of the coolest things of the deck is that you can play very big creatures turn 1 thanks to the stronghold ability, that, by the way, you will use just once per game quite likely. You can either use Tell the Tale or One Koku together with your stronghold ability to have up to 7 gold accessible t1 and play Hida Amoro, Yakamo Oni or Ogre Outlaw. You can also take a slower start developing your economy by bringing Silk Works into play if that's what you have avaialbe and, from there, go crush provinces!
Note: the deck is built exclusively by cards from Imperial through Dark Journey home + Senseis printed pre-Gold (+ Amnesia and Forgotten Lessons so you have a way to interact with the Senseis). Consider this a variation fo Jade Open, kind of Classic Hidden Emperor Era Sensei Extended
