At first I considered Death then my deck ADD kicked in (lol) and I saw her attacks working well with Curse of the Ancient Mariner then my ADD kicked in again (lol) and I decided on a simple void version of her themed deck.  49 blocks in the deck, which she can clear from the card pool when blocking with Professional Bodyguard and recycle with Sworn to Protect.  Evil Mist looping is sexy.

Most of the attacks are high; not by choice but because Shockwave Palm is not incredibly impressing, although if I had those I'd find a spot.  Wipe The Floor is great to setup a kill turn.  Use Nina's form and make sure you note which cards on his deck are high blocks, then call the Void E on it and if it deals damage try to strip his hand of the high blocks.  Unknown Son will help Ice Pick be unblockable, Enemies now Friends on a previous attack will give Ice Pick +4 damage for the unblockable hugeness.

Sadistic Cupid/Nina works stupidly well with Head Ringer, which begs the question of why there aren't many Ninas around.  Mishima Zaibatsu provides the momentum if non-existent for Purple Army Suit or Sadistic Cupid.

Thanks for contributing a theme deck. I like your construct. Do you have a theme tourney you are going to play this in or are you just making this for home play.

At the moment I'm having a lot of fun building themed decks (because, let's face it, in the old UFS standard it was basically pointless to try in most cases), and although it seems like it's stifling creativity to have such a small card pool, it's because of the small card pool that it's easier to see new ways to make something work.  I have an All Steve/Paul deck, an All/Life Ivy, an All Christie and an Earth King at the moment.

In this case, while many are doing Death builds of Nina, I went with Void and added Rashotep, Ivy and King support.  By adding Rashotep support (namely Ka Technique and Sa) I can prevent certain obvious death by means of repeated usage of some foundation (Stand Off, All Life is Prey), and Sa is almost single-handedly the best damage reduction action in the format (at least in those symbols, without requiring you to do ANYTHING like have more foundations committed or check higher than the opponent), and nice stats to boot.  By adding Ivy support (Genius Alchemist, although I was tempted to include Evil Sparrow as an additional kick for Ice Pick but went with more synergistic themed attacks), the deck is capable of attacking more.  By adding King support, I have an extra defensive/offensive couple of methods.  This woman needs at least some damage pump, and King provides it.  Test of Strength would go in there as a way to force the opponent to check, as well as giving me damage pump or damage reduction; alas I have none at the moment.

I was contemplating adding Temporary Being as a way to force the opponent to draw 2 crap, preferably block-less cards and discard 1 at random.  Still I haven't gotten the pieces to build this one quite yet so I can't compare results.  It sounds nice and logical on paper, and would also help play War Between Sisters and other risky high diff cards at the end of the opponent's turn.
