The Elemental Cycle has given us plenty of food for thought as new archetypes emerge from the increased card pools for all clans. Excitement is in the air from all the shiny new tools we have at our disposal. Unfortunately, not all clans are created equal, and if I was to rank the clans in terms of power as I feel they stand after the Elemental Cycle, it would go a little something like this: …
We finally have the last pack in the elemental cycle Pack 6 – Elements Unbound. Where the previous packs focused on one of the 5 elements, this pack appears to focus on the problems Rokugan has recently had with the elemental kami rebelling and causing trouble.
This week we’re looking at Pack 5 – All and Nothing. This pack focuses on the element of Void. Void is emptiness, no good no evil, but also clarity without preconceptions. It is the Swordsmaster who strikes with no-mind, the Archer who releases at the right moment, the Shugenja who feels the future.
This week FFG announced the upcoming Elemental Events. we’ve summarised their announcement below as clearly as we can. These new events run alongside the existing Kotei system.
Dragon have been a bit of an enigma for the player base, capable of some extremely strong plays they are often placed along with Crab and Scorpion in the top tier of competitive play.

This week we’re looking at Pack 4 – The Ebb and Flow. This pack focuses on the element of Water and introduces the highly anticipated Daimyō of the Mantis clan Yoritomo.
Welcome to coverage of the Penultimate Kotei! Houston is the last Kotei before the Grand Kotei at Gencon which ends the season. We have high hopes for this tournament as it is not locked behind a convention. This first pack of the elemental cycle is legal, so we will get a taste of what is to come.
We’re back with another Elemental Cycle Pack, this time The Fires Within, focusing on the destructive element of Fire.
