@Kryptnyt: I'm pretty sure Zhou and Zhuge both thought of fire ships because of how Cao Cao was transporting his troops along the Yangtze. A lot of his troops had never ridden boats before, meaning many of them were prone to motion sickness. To temper that, Cao tied several ships at a time together to help stabilize them. However, this meant that the flames from the fire ships had a way that much easier to get to successive ships in the fleet.

If all else fails use fire.

Excellent deduction Watson! After all, being serious, I actually find it very difficult to believe Fire would be an effective strategy at sea!

I wonder what it was like for the first few thousand soldiers to die to longbow 'rain' because they clustered themselves too much? :) Lesson Learned: buddies are good, but spread out enough so the enemy has to AIM!

This card looks alright. It's a sorcery where today's standards want it to be an instant, but come on it's still fun x3

Concentrate for 2UU, or Brilliant plan at 4U. I might actually run this in my five-color deck.

Hmm...

Not a perfect plan... but it's a plan.

I like this card a lot because it's fun to say, "Luckily I have a Brilliant Plan!" Or if it gets countered, "Oh no! You foiled my Brilliant Plan!"
