Samurai Tribal EDH. Please enjoy this short story I constructed using Kamigawa flavor texts from the deck:

---

Deep within Eiganjo Castle lay the Palace of Infinite Halls, a seemingly endless network of corridors once guarded by a seemingly endless legion of samurai.

"It seems that each time I visit Lord Konda his guards are more on edge, perhaps even more eager for the war to reach them."

Konda's servants dared not neglect their duties for a moment under Masako's icy gaze, knowing that what she saw, Lord Konda would hear.

Since the war began, the castle's walls mark the only place on Kamigawa where no kami has ever set foot.

The glow from within looks inviting, but woe awaits whomever finds out who stokes the fire or what simmers in the pot.

---

"Despite the massive forces that allied against him, Konda never once believed he would lose the Kami War."

"Watch over my father. Tell him I'm safe, but I won't come home until I find out how to bring him back to his senses, and Kamigawa is again at peace."

"Virtue is an inner light that can prevail in every soul."

"Center of the Sea, Eye of the World, Shrine of Enlightenment. Seek it for answers. Seek it for healing. Seek it and return transformed."

---

"The sword is just a tool. It is the samurai's hand that brings it to life."

Those kitsune trained in the blade preferred to fight with a blade-catching jitte in the off hand, buying them just enough time to deliver the first deadly cut.

"Forgive me, Master Kami, but in the interest of my people I must halt your advances."

"Rise like the sun, stand like the mountain, charge like the lion, die as a hero."

---

In desperation, Konda sent warriors to parley with the ogre-magi. No one knows whether they were slaughtered at Shinka or if they even reached its bloodstained walls.

"Forgive me, Saburo. I could not save you. But your blade will not rest in my hand."

"The bonds of bushido will draw the dishonored back someday, and I will be there waiting."
