Happy new year, and welcome to another episode of Bushido Cast! This time we are discussing the new Weeping Sky cycle deck with Jason Enos!
It's a bumper recording where we cover all 54 (yes that's right, 54) new cycle cards (Risen Sun was 30 cards).
We discuss the new storyline (spoiler alert if you are not up to date with story progression from two UKGM events this year), how cards may work in our warbands and the 'competitive' scene.
The Bushido app should have the cards uploaded at some point for you to follow if you wish (we do a quick card read out as we go). So, get comfortable, grab a drink and snack of your choice - it's a marathon episode! As always, we are looking forward to seeing what the community make of this new release.
We cover all Factions, here are the time slots if your keen to get to your favorite:
- Prefecture of Ryu: 6 mins. Daimyo level cards.
- Temple of Ro-Kan: 23 mins. Monk's getting attention this cycle.
- Cult of Yurei: 37 mins. Huge upgrades to existing models.
- Savage Wave: 57 mins. Bakemono and Onisho buffs!
- Ito Clan: 1 hour 6 mins. Ito Istunagi and Kinu get some attention. Impetuous warbands are now a real thing!
- Silvermoon Trade Syndicate: 1 hour 19 mins: Roses, Buto and Iron Fist Gumi are looking even more interesting now!
- The Descension: 1 hour 33 mins: good news for Tribesmen (and Haiatake), a meta fix?!
- Jung Pirates!!! 1 hour 47 mins? Includes terrain prize winner card.
- Shadow Wind Clan: 2 hours. Yuta a problem, look here.

- Shiho Clan: 2 hours 22 mins - most demanded card in Bushido history and a real treat from the game designers for Shiho and Tanaka players!
- Kinshi Temple: 2 hours 34 mins. Yes, Kinshi have a new card, not only that, it's a brand new way to play them!
- Ronin: 2 hours 39 mins. Cards most players can take, from big brain plays to counter ploys, there's a lot going on here.

Jack and Craig are back with double Grand Master Al! We discuss list building, strategies and tactics for tournament games. We also highlight the value of enjoying Bushido at mid-power levels, how this helps explore factions, and find those exciting new builds (and keeps players so interested in the game!) - so I hope there is something for all in this episode. Enjoy!

Welcome to Bushido Cast! We are joined by lead GCT developer Jason and have a special preview of Inari's Judgement themed box. We discuss the lucky Kitsune tricksters and talk about how we could use the two themes from the new box (Followers of Inari, and infinite monkeys aka Minkan Densho) and what this may mean for Bastions of the Mountain and briefly even Ordered for Battle Temple of Ro Kan list! Better still, our discussion is informed by play testing experience so we hope we do the box 'justice'.
Ps. Please allow for slight differences between our verbal articulation of rules, in cases based on testing profiles, and final cards. Gav's audio starts low for a few seconds, but then is resolved.
