Cards Maindecked: 68

sideboard is like... Big Cyclones and other stuff...

 

 

It's a solid deck. Works up lots of Water control and beats with Spike and finishes with Plasma Beam if necessary. Lots of neat tricks.

There are lots of 3DFs and 4CCs, but that is something you gotta get used to when playing something like this. It really isn't so bad.

i would sugest adding natures forces(i think that's what it's called). very nice deck.

Yeah the one Ruru card that looks like it was drawn by a 3rd grader. It's really the only form of asset hate that Water has.

Looks pretty similar to my Regionals deck.

I went the Clean Freak route instead of Nature's Force. I also figured that with Clean Freak I could skip out on Chinese Boxing or Program Malfunction. It also works as a nother form of momentum gain in a pinch if you don't have your Natural Leader out.

Also, I have Tag Along sided. Instead I main KFT to cancel attempts to cancel my Rejections from the same card. Another card I have in mine is Free Will.  That can easily replace your Tag Alongs as it can fish up a Fweem or Spike. It can also fish a Rejection in a pinch.

Lastly... I didn't see Hybrid Style. If you're running Rejection, Gorgeous Team and Shooting Capoera you really might as well!

sakura can loop natures forces, and it has a better check than clean freak.

clean freak is also an attack.  an attack with an overlooked and very powerful ability.

i point this out because attacking with CF won me the air patch by being able to ready Chinese boxing to hit another foundation before going for Spike.

yes, but i am not sure that shane can aford many more 3 checks. this deck has pretty poor checks, and clean freak might push it over the edge.

When my deck was 84 cards, I ran cards like Free Will, Hybrid Style, Kung-Fu Training, and Clean Freak. Trimming the deck down, I found out that Sakura doesn't need Free Will as much as the other characters need it because of her Form.

I ran Hybrid Style because looping Rejections and Turnabout was fun, but found out that Hybrid Style wasn't really necessary because I stood my ground pretty well with handed Rejections and Battle Prowess. Between Tag Along, Gorgeous Team, and Sakura, that's really all the recursion you absolutely need.

Clean Freak was a great idea but didn't really come in handy because I OTK and most decks right now OTK as well, so enhances aren't played very much. That said, Program is better than Chinese Boxing in this type of deck as of now. The 3CC bugged me as well.

I cut Kung-Fu because I already played a pile of actions, and drawing into a hand of actions is something you do not want to see. Besides, why Kung-Fu some random action they play when you loop Seals anyways?

 

It's really solid, and seems like it'll get a solid boost come set 12.

Did you cut Nature's Force while you were trimming the deck, or do you just pimp out Sakura's Form to scoop back whatever got blown up by the inevitable Olcadan's?

I never had Nature's Force in the deck. I never knew what it was until J-Ray told me about it.

Maybe I just play them like this because I play way more attacks, but do you really need 4 Chinese Boxing AND 4 Program Malfunction?  Also, nice list =P

I cut it down to 2x Chinese Boxing. Still kept 4x Program tho.
