A vanilla samurai about whom we know next to nothing :)
Shiba Gyukudo
3F, 3C
6HR, 7GC, 2PH
Phoenix Clan Samurai
You may target one of your Shugenja Personalities when Gyukudo enters play. For the rest of the game, Gyukudo has +1F/+1C while in an army with that Shugenja.
Yet another 3/3 for 7G Phoenix samurai. So, why play Gyukudo? Is that ability going to kick in often enough to make him effectively a 4/4 for 7? Not really. In an environment where raw force is often less useful than attrition or mobility, Gyukudo really doesn't bring much to the table. The chances are the shugenja he's targetted is not going to stay in the same army as him for long - one of them will get killed, or sent home. Compared to Shiba Koseki, whose ability is more powerful and more flexible, Gyukudo comes a poor second.
