I've decided that in any tournament I run (starting with BiB) anyone who includes Hatamoto Taro in their army may opt to use the official prototype card for him because, well, he's really not that good otherwise.
Please note that this is not a
requirement for anyone who brings HT-if you prefer the official released (130 point) version, you can bring that one. Think of HT as a new Drake or Raelin. Just make sure you bring a copy of the card for whichever version you'll be running.
