B3 Donovan Order Aggro

[Sketch2 0]

Donovan Aggro, Block 3

4x 6/1 Lunar Slash
4x X/5 High Tide
4x 3/3 Mega Spike
4x 4/3 Sonic Boom EXTRA

4x 0/6 Olcadan's Mentoring

3x 3/5 Rejection
3x 5/4 Tag Along

4x 2/5 Blood Runs True
4x 1/5 Forethought
4x 1/6 Makai High Noble
4x 3/5 Realm of Midnight
4x 2/6 Lord of the Makai
4x 3/5 Experienced Combatant
4x 2/5 Strife's Patronage
4x 2/5 Familial Loyalty
3x 0/4 Dancing Battle Kabuki

Sideboard:
4x Kung-Fu Training
4x Amy's Assistance

Hit hard, hit fast, draw a boatload of cards, kill with a gigantic multiple, when in doubt, I Sonic Boom. Strife's Patronage is tech on both ends - gives you a peek to know if you should save BRTs for countering Spikes or for killing blocks, and lets you reduce speed to draw more cards. Lunar Slash gets nasty alongside Realm of Midnight. High Tide is beautiful for this deck, very versatile.

Sideboard is fairly generic, anti-Rejection and anti-Your Mind is Known to Me, anti-Tag Along, anti-Defender loops.

Let me know if there's anything I'm blatantly overlooking, I've been on hiatus for a while.

Hey Dave. If u want more draw u can put in Aquakenesis its the 1/5 with some block (dont remember offhand) R Commit: After your ready phase draw a card.

+3H block.

As I went through the attacks from Set 11 that had Order, one of the first things I looked at when evaluating was "How well can I play and abuse this in Donovan?" And the absolute best of these attacks, without exception, is Malevolent Genius. It's a 4-diff 3-check, 2 mid 3 with a block. Not that impressive, but its built-in Stun:2 is a godsend. Granted, I also play Personal Style, and it may not work with your style of play. Iunno.

Ed: Might also want to include a copy or two of Charismatic for wheeeee negation.

Dave good to see you. Why no P Style come on rember how good it worked with your block 2 deck, pluss you have 12 attacks that have blocks. It would be kinda nasty on the last lunar slash for a game wining punp

Yo Dave, been a while.

I'm definitely going to have to second Malevolent Genius. It's a decent action also, but Stun:2 is awesome.

Have you tried running Your Mind is Known to Me in here yet? It looks good so far dude.

You could possibly use Kazama Ninja Arts in conjunction with Strife's Patronage in case you face a speed crazy deck.

Since you have so few 3 checks as well as probably kill by turn 3 if anything I would try to fit in program malfunction. The 3 difficulty can be steep but with 12  3 or lowers the checks should stack in your favor.  The problem I had with my attempt at a block 3 order deck was that I couldn't get anything down on the opponents turn after they played all their control foundations. It really helps in the long game when they have out all that extra control, especially good in the long game if it comes to that.  And it nearly always comes to that. I think you could probably drop familial loyalty just because of the extra draw power donovan, lunar slash and DBK give. Another good card is Kabuki Artist because it lets you grab back passed by lunar slashes.

These cards don't help your fast aggro game much as the 4 check on KA and 3 dif on PM so if your confident in the aggroness of the deck vs all the funderful control being packed by everyone today (esp SoC) then these cards don't help. My personal experiance with block 3 order is that it really wants to be an aggro symbol, but getting out the momentum gen and check passing cards while keeping up with your opponents early to mid game control is a bit more difficult. Anyway thats just my 2 cents. Also, I know its kind of blasphemous, but forethought really didn't help as much as I thought it would. Maybe it needs to be accompanied by the anti k' or something, but it didn't work out too well for me.  I think there are better cards out there like personal style or charismatic/buddhist devotion.

I think MAYBE you should try Psycho Style in here too. for when ur opponent is attacking u to slow them down because of ur 20vt. and its an amazing card lol

The last of the change in my pocket: Hybrid Style, used to loop Rejection, is very annoying. Just a thought.
