Ascension makes this a joke. Scion deck with Heavensward Y'shtola as a 4-star card, Stormblood Alphinaud & Alisaie as the 5-star, then Thancred, Yda & Papalymo and regular Y'shtola as 3-stars. Soon enough the amount of A sides was so omnipresent I could capture half the board with A&A in the middle through Plus.

Too many matches to count, I got about 9 karakuri hanya cards before he dropped Yojimbo+Daigoro. Deck used; Trinity Avowed, Trinity Seeker, Siegfried, Azulmagia, and Therion, and regional rules were Sudden Death to avoid draws.

I can't remember how many matches I played...but I got 10+ Kara;(as tricky as Kiuka

guess I got really lucky on this one by getting it yojimbo after 8 wins (tho it's not my first time playing against hokushin, it was the first time really putting away time to get it)

What a holdout! 43 games. 39W/4L/0D (Sudden Death up). 10 Kara, 1 Jim. Seeker of Solitude, PW, Qitian, Arenvald, Raub & Pip. Barely any Plus swaps happened, but he loved to take my PW the most for Swap.

I lost track of the win count, by I got 17 KH before I got Daigoro. 8/8 Corner deck worked just fine for me.

Adhar Gorm 4th October, 2020 @ 08:19 am

15W-7D-2L. 5 Karakuri Hanya and 1 Yojimbo and Daigyuro. The plus-same can be a pain, but becuase of the Chaos, it's far less of a problem.

8 Wins, 2 draws: 2 Karakuis and 1 Yojimbo. I got lucky, I have played many times before and not gotten Yojimbo.

To add to the previous message; 55 Karakuri cards in my inventory when Yojimbo finally dropped.

Anonymous Player 18th January, 2020 @ 06:58 pm

New sad record. 45 Karakuris, still no Yojimbo. I don't know how many matches I have played. I am uncertain if mere numbers can represent them anymore. The guard mocks me if I talk to him. He says to make it quick and leave. I want nothing more than to do as he says, and yet he refuses to give me the card. I hear the Triple Triad music when I go to the bathroom. Kugane's music, which drove me insane as I was climbing the tower, is now a sweet relief. I have lost hope. My rations ran out hours ago. Between matches I scribble on the cobblestones but I am running out of stones. The guard pats me on my shoulder as I win another match, then pulls something from a shirt pocket. Is this it? Is this the moment I long for? Hope swells in my chest as he hands me a card. It's ... It's ... Karakuri #46.

Got Karakuri after 5 wins, Yojimbo after 4 more. It's so nice to not need to go 60 wins for a card.

Asinametra 7th November, 2018 @ 09:14 pm

His standard Plus/Swap rules are pretty easy to work with, especially if you have a solid deck based around taking corners. Kugane has regional rules, so sometimes patience and a good regional rule set can turn the tides for you! I got both of his cards with 100 or less wins (I wasn't keeping very strict record)
