    Not disagreeing that poison 4 is amazing. I just think that if late game you're devoting 3-4 models to dealing with 1 opposing model you're sacrificing a large portion of your activations.

    Of course, if it's the last model you need for a strategy why not? That particular combination is lethal, just expensive in terms of activations.

    10 Wounds spread across 4 turns. Pretty decent indeed.

    Focus fire is always about dealing with the right targets.

    And hell, I'd totally spend three models to poison and paralyze someone's newly manifested Avatar.

    Also, don't get confused, they need a 6 of Crows or Masks to make this work. It's a 17 card pool instead of a 9.

    Also, one more incredible thing: Cassandra has access to Trainquil Dance.

    Very true, but also remember that with a 9 or better of any suit, the Mannequin can give them the so that they can cast on a 6 or better of any suit. this opens things up nicely, but requires that 9 before hand.

    Yup. There really is no shortage of ways to make casting Lure a sure thing.

    Escorts is a misprint: It should say Oiran.

    If there's one model that I would say is ripe for an alt, it's this one. I realize it's a bit too soon to be expecting such a thing, but I'd say one that matched Colette's crew would be worth $100 in purchases.

    As do Myranda, Molly and Ponto, iirc.

    Could be pretty interesting, perhaps...
