I like Strength of Ages in King, since it's almost a given that you get a free throw on your turn, which means it can hand out +2 or +3 damage pretty easily, and it could be even more, so I'd keep it.

IMHO, King's Reverse DDT is over-rated; sure, it's a 6-diff, 8-damage, off-zone throw, but it has its share of weaknesses:

1. It has a 2-check.

2. 7 handsize guys are rarer in Block 4 than they were in Block 3, and the general lack of staging area-based defensive cards means you throws will plow their teeth in anyway, so the DDT's fancy effects wane in importance.

3. It has 6 difficulty, which means Jaguar Mask and King's F can't recruit it.

So yeah, I'd go with an extra Flinging Half Nelson, and look to put in some Close Throw. Just in case you don't recognize the card, (it's a Block 1 UFS card that's scheduled to be reprinted as a promo, and will thus be Block 4 legal), here's what it does:

-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-

Close Throw

5 Difficulty, 3 Control

No Block

Earth, Life, Void

4 Speed, 4 Damage

Stun: 2, Throw

If your last attack was blocked, this card may be played at -2 difficulty and -2 damage.

-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-

Pretty sweet, eh? They're reasonably cheap, too, so they're not all that hard to get, and King certainly loves 'em.

Learned from the Best is sideboard tech if you ask me; it only really works if you have momentum pitching during your opponent's turn, and you have nothing to do that, so it's only really good against Zi Mei and her Multiple madness.

You should look at Undisputed Ruler; it stops just about any deck cold by stripping a keyword from it for the duration of the Enhance Phase (i.e. removing Stun nerfs Paul, removing Weapon freezes Astrid, removing Kick stops Christie, removing Multiple stuffs Zi Mei, you get it).  It won't save you from Throw or Reversal, though.

Apart from that, I think you're good.
