So here's a couple of my favorite things with Retrace the Past! 1: You can cycle it back into your deck with Winds of Eternity if you do name it Hundred Winds. Still not it's most efficient use for a single turn, but it's the potential to get an extra use of the card. 2: If you have the really weird hands where you just have too many Gustwaves, you can name Retrace as Surging Strike! Having lines likes Descendant -> Retrace (named Surging Strike) -> Whelming/2nd Wind takes a very awkward hand and makes it semi-playable with on hit threats. I'm so excited to have this card in paper.
@TCGTALKYT Also a fun note about Visit the Floating Dojo. While it isn't the most efficient early game, you can use it along with Ancestral Harmony to guarantee hit Retrace the Past (or any other Combo card you need) to close out a game.
So far in my testing, Retrace isn't doing a ton except allowing us to get some sort of use out of dishonor, but I don't see where it helps solve the problem of Katsu. Imma keep testing and playing though!
It is a tough card to figure out for sure, and you are right, it doesn’t fix all of Katsu’s issues but it does add some cool flexibility. Allows you to play more midrange and have a more consistent gameplan in my opinion.
I wonder if its not a good idea to go heavier into the Hundred Winds/Winds of Eternity line. naming retrace as Hundred Winds can put it back into your deck with Winds of Eternity. Personally I play 3 Winds of Eternity just for that neat trick.

Those are great points, and I agree it’s super interesting to see the flexibility of the card.

Cards good its a nice flexible piece but it doesn't change much for the deck. Maybe if we got this and thoughtful gustwave i would be more excited.
