I realize that while most of Magic is played casual, much of L5R is >played in a Tournament setting. This is a very weird point, and let me >explain: Actually, no. According to polls taken of our players 3 years ago and this last year, over 90% of L5R players (those that buy the cards) do not play in tournaments. >And I'm sure, many of you will say, "But I WANT the brand team to step in >and correct no only Sanctioned Tournaments, but also casual play. My clan >has no chance, and my decks have no chance. The game is too imbalanced." >They can correct THAT imbalance in other ways, by making every clan equally >viable and giving the clans that need them better cards to work with. So the only acceptable method of clan balance is to give bigger rocket boosters to everyone? Are turn one victories acceptable to you? >Finally, I apologize if I sound angry at the brand team.
