Hsien-ko is NOT Dead (Good)

By Shinguyi, in UFS Deck Building

Hsien-ko has a nifty sonstant effect for my attacks, so why not abuse it? That's what I mostly tried to aim at with this deck: spam Soul Spiral and Shadow Blade until you get bored, ah, and use Mei-Lin's Ward to spam Chi Disruptor too. This is what I have come up with so far:

-Characters

1 *Hsien-Ko* (Chaos/Good/Void) <----------------- Main Character

4 **Hsien-Ko** (Chaos/Good/Life)

-Actions

4 Bringing the Master to His Knees (Good) (4/6 +2M Breaker: 2)

-Assets

2 Mei-Lin's Ward (Chaos/Good/Life) (1/5 +2M Hsien-Ko Only | Unique)

4 Lynette's Shop (Infinity) (3/6 +1M)

3 US Air Base (Good/Void) (3/4 Terrain | Unique)

-Attacks

4 Chi Disruptor (Good/Life) (4/3 2M5 +2M Reversal)

4 Shadow Blade (Good) (5/2 4H5 +2M Reversal | Stun: 2)

4 Soul Spiral (Chaos/Death) (6/2 5M7 +2L Ranged | Reversal)

-Foundations

4 Alluring Beauty (Good) (1/4 +1L)

4 Darkhunter of the Night (Chaos/Good/Life) (3/5 +3L)

4 Holding Ground (Good) (2/4 +2L)

4 Irresistable (Good) (1/6 +1H) (Split Action)

4 Light on Ones Feet (Good/Void) (2/5 +2H)

4 Lone Wolf (Good) (2/6 +1H)

4 Motivated (Chaos/Good)(1/3 +1M) (Split Attack: 4/3 4M3 Reversal)

4 Reunited (Chaos/Good)(2/5 +2M)

4 The Red Lotus of the Sun (Chaos/Good) (2/5 +3L)

-SideBoard

4 Tag Along (Good) (Action) (5/4)

4 Free Will (Good) (Foundation) (2/5)

Statistics (not coutning SideBoard) (Difficulty does not count Splits):

Check 1: 0 Difficulty 1: 14

Check 2: 8 Difficulty 2: 20

Check 3: 8 Difficulty 3: 11

Check 4: 11 Difficulty 4: 8

Check 5: 18 Difficulty 5: 4

Check 6: 20 Difficulty 6: 8

Deck is pretty straight forward. Tried to add as many check 6 as I could for Soul Spiral (I like the attack, not its check...).

As you guys might notice, I have a huge weakness to Bitter Rivals... Need Holding Ground and Light on Ones Feet to make my attacks hit or to full block stuff. Reunited spams my attacks, since they all go to my momentum always. Mei-Lin's Ward help me block with attacks in my Momentum (although need to look for High Block attacks, need suggestions for those..). US Air Base is main decked because I don't use repeated abilities too much per turn.

Suggestions and Opinions are very appretiated!

In my opinion, you could use some Tag Along to negate enemy characters. No I in Team is nice, but I think Tag Along will serve you better (some characters are usable while committed, after all).

You have a real low number of attacks; how about some Soul-Piette or Ichi no Tachi for disruption potential (the latter is also immune to Bitter Rivals).

^what he said

Also, Savage Fighter and Fight or Flight for damage.

Nifty combinations: Mei-Lin's Ward + *Hsien-Ko*, Reunited + *Hsien-Ko*

Also, you don't need 4; **Hsien-Ko** isn't very good, and with a 7 handsize, if you only run 2 or 3 copies, you should still draw one very early.

Thanks for the look.

Tag Along I did concider it, but its hard to squeeze in (also knowing that another deck also uses it... guess I'll proxy it).

I'll cut down on **Hsien-ko** then. Mostly had her to draw her out fast due to the Speed Boost she gives (and her R, which works occassionally), has a 6 Check and has a +0 Mid Block.

Savage Fighter I can try it, but I don't know if I can reach 3 attacks easily. But I'll look into it and see how it plays out. Fight or FLight I wish I could get my hands on it, expenssive, always sold out and in my playgroup, always other people using it.

Thanks for the advice! Will work on it as we speak.
