so about those sword boys....

HELLO EVERYBODY! It's me, Eon, again!

Touken Ranbu has been out for some time now, and I'd like to work on donating cards for it. Is there anyone canon-familiar with it who can help me out? There are currently 43 characters (+ more upcoming possibly in the Kyoto expansion releasing on the 21st), but only 20 can fit per deck. I've been thinking of splitting the Toushirous to get their own, but I'd like to hear your opinions still.

Thanks guys!

There's a problem with giving the Toushirous their own deck though, Ichigo and Honebami are already in the first deck. If I had special donation slots I'd help with this, but I sadly do not. Good luck!

I've been thinking of using the alt sprites, since there are less than 20 Toushirous - maybe using the casual and battle sprite for each one? That'd make up for 'no repeats'... does it? :|a

[kippi]

I'm not sure if it would! You should ask on the questions post.

[eonflamewing]

We've had people submit separate sprites of the same character for the universe set, so I think it should be able to be done.

[kippi]

I was more curious at the fact that characters would be doubled up in the same deck. Unless you want to toss in other chars alongside them? The Fire Emblem decks do that, or at least the Tellius decks.

[eonflamewing]

True... maybe by sword types, then?

Or maybe we should just shove 20 more characters in as 'second release characters' and just wait until every 20 new folks come round.

[kippi]

Yeah. That could work, but like, theres 4 oodachis and 5 wakizashis and those two types have some of my favs : /.

I don't get that deck description, really, since urashima and kogitsunemaru weren't in there on release. First release at Colors maybe??

[eonflamewing]

Yeah, I meant Colours. ^^" Who knows, if they end up making an anime we can make individual decks finally.

Who are your favourites?

[kippi]

Everyone hahaa... but in particular I love all the oodachis, and all of the wakizashis except Nikkari. And Shishio is great too! I don't think there's anyone I particularly dislike, except for the fact that I can't bring myself to like Nakigitsune because of how annoying his fox is, OTL. He's kind of cute though, ignoring his fox.

[eonflamewing]

I'm a highly biased person, so I don't have a lot of favourites oopsie. For the second deck release, we can slot everyone else into the deck then! o9

I've always wondered why Hotarumaru is an odachi when his human form is tiny....

[kippi]

Well they're all based on real swords, and the real Hotarumaru is an oodachi. But it really is puzzling why he's so tiny. Maybe it's reflecting the size after he "broke", even though he's been "repaired"?? (The whole story of how he broke and got repaired by fireflies, though that doesn't sound like something that could really happen, ahhaha.)

[eonflamewing]

I think it's just the legend thing, actually.

oh yeah, speaking of the deck - i traded in some stuff for an extra of my most favourite card, tsukumogami11, if you're interested in that i can swap it for another tsukumogami card that maybe you're not as fond of (like nakigitsune). o9

[kippi]

Yeah, that's what I'm saying. I figure he just dreamed the part where Hotaru broke too.

I don't know, I'm planning on mastering it either way, so... But thank you for the offer!
