Well, every good Yoritomo's Alliance site needs a METH. (Mantis Empty the Hand, as coined by Yoritomo fRed) This is what I used at GenCon and around that time.
The idea for the deck is to play Masasue (maybe overelay to exp) or Aramasu early, then follow up with grabbing the Ring of the Void, and dumping your hand every turn for force. One Koku can also allow you to play Yoritomo Denkyu or Yukue first turn. Denkyu allows almost all your people to come speeding out like, er..bugs! dump your hand to Aramasu/Masasue exp during Action Phase, then attack and end the battle ASAP. As you can see, there are no in-batle force boosters. So you want the battle action phase to be short and brutal. If you meet a dueling deck, use Another Time or refuse and Seppuku to prevent your honor loss and deny them the honor gain. Diro should be a Samurai, so that every single person in the deck is Samurai, and protected by the Enemy of My Enemy. The deck can have late game power, but it'd rather the game be over sooner so you have more time to yell your battlecry:
YORITOMO!!!!!!!
