There will be 8 Starter / Tournament boxes: Crane, Crab, Dragon, Lion, Phoenix, Unicorn, Scorpion and the Shadowlands.

Five clans were demoted:

The Naga: going to sleep, powerful in both force and ranged attacks but not popular enough with the players to save.

Yoritomo's Alliance: defeated by the Phoenix and driven back to the Mantis Isles. Yoritomo promoted his adopted son Aramasu to clan champion before he died fighting the first Goju.

Brotherhood of Shinsei: dispersed throught the clans, many joined the Shadowlands to rebel against the dissolution of their clan.

Toturi's Army: Toturi comitted seppuku to cleanse the shadow from his soul, most of the army died at Volturnum, the newly named Akodo rejoined the Lion and the remaining samurai either joined the Wolf Legion or remained ronin.

the Ninja: were named the Akodo by Hitomi. Once named, they lost their shapeshifting abilities and were incorporated into the Lion clan under the guidance of Akodo Ginawa.

Hasbro/Wizards of the Coast lost the lawsuit brought by the U.S. Olympic Committee which "owns" the rights to five interlocking rings (even though it was an asian / Japanese symbol way before America ever became a country). You all know what to say the next time someone asks for donations to the Olympics.... ;P

New card backs were proposed - see below:

A partial listing of Gold cards except for personalities can be found here.
