Yamahatsu has reuseable kill so I preferit over the paragons despite the 2ph. Fateside Costly Opportunity might be replaceable but I'm not really seeing a better replacement ( Maybe 3 No Time for Games to improve the dishonor game?).

I think 3rd unimpeachable name would be better and more useful

Because of new event I would put 2-3 forging destinty - just to get used to the fact that we will need a event meta after TSE...

Still, I think that force penalty -4F (or more with koyama and enemy with followers) is better then Range 4

Looks a solid base. I think Sudden Guardian is at least half the justification to move away from paragons with EoW.

I'm considering Uehara as my non-shugenja personality to help find what's needed for the matchup. I run The Seeker's Temple and one Tranquil Garden amongst my holdings, and generally use these together with Jurojin's to rush Ring of Void into play.

Peace should probably be in every deck as it fetches your Peddler. You don't have anything to search for with Imperial Gift, if you don't fancy the clan sword maybe go for a single Pearl of Embers (I'm currently running both), as it let's you get the favour or 1 honour from Temple of Hotei each turn.

All my advice seems to be about card draw...

Sudden Guardian sharply increases the deck's vulnerability to Gold and Steel, and there isn't a way to get around it. I'm giving it a try, but I'm not sold on it.
