Misaki is fantastic out of the box. Ototototototototo is a fairly decent melee piece that gets Weapon Master when he is below half wounds, not to mention he can heal himself. A lot of folks choose to take Kang over Ototototototo, but since you are on a budget and he won't be available as a single piece since he is in Mei Feng's box, you may just want to stick with him. The Torakage are nice, but are missing a little something in my opinion and Misaki's totem piece, Shang is a really nice addition, letting you draw an extra card (then discarding back down to six) and giving Misaki the ability to re-flip a card in duels. And he has a surprising amount of damage capability FOR A TOTEM. Misaki is the one that really shines out of the box, with Reckless and Diving Charge she can dish out nasty amounts of damage, not to mention being pretty hard to kill outside of melee with Bulletproof 2. I run Archers and Yamaziko with my crew, but I feel like this is already just a wall of text so I will keep their respective reviews to myself.
