So, I hate Fei Long. He's horrible in the games he's in, and I just don't understand his fan following. When Fei came out, people wanted to think he could work, but really, he simply could not.

For those who frequent GD, you'll notice I've spoken highly on how Taki is much better than Ivy. Well, while looking around, I came across good ol Fei and realized, "Wow, with Fei Long in the mix, there's SERIOUSLY no reason to run Ivy!"

Anyways, so I started considering All Fei Long when I came across this card:

Flash of the Blades
2/4 +1-MID
Air/Chaos/Water

E Commit: If your weapon attack deals damage, discard any other weapon attack from your card pool and ready your character.

E Commit: If your weapon attack deals damage, either add the top card of your deck to your momentum or discard 1 of your opponent's momentum.

Mm...readying Fei Long for more uber card clearage...=D

EXPLs:

Fei Long - Clears his card pool like none other (except Felicia, who is awesome). F Commit, discard 2 momentum, and every attack in this deck is cleared. What's more, with each attack of mine that deals damage, I can amass tokens to refill my hand if I don't kill them in 1 turn.

Attacks - I'm sure you've noticed I'm running lotsa assets. That's because, for once, their split side actually matters! My deck is chocked with Stun, leaving my opponent's backfield temporarily important as I commit their resources. While Jingu and especially Kagekiri have some useful effects (and thus are potentially good assets), they make wonderful attacks. Otherwise, I've got some generic weenies. Sickle of Sin is great because while it may gain damage, it remains printed at 3, and thus viable to let it be discarded. Wheel Kick has Stun: 3, and STStrike has a cool Combo.

Communing with the Ancients - Float Like a Butterfly, a staple to any deck that attacks lots.

Make a Difference - Who says I have to discard my card pool and leave it at that? I play my 4th or 5th attack, then ditch em all and refill with hopefully 4-5 more attacks. Also used offensively in case my opponent plays an attack I know will kill me XD.

Mentally Unstable - Because repeated attacks is just cool. Mentally Unstable is another aggro staple, and that rule is no exception here. Weenie poke, return weenie to hand. Works well with Fei Long F and Make a Difference.

Inhuman Perception - The point of this deck is Flash of the Blade abuse, and so Fei would really hate his day getting ruined by Tag Along. Consistant draw sees to it that a playset of Inhuman can go a long way.

Flames of Fame - It's as if this card was meant for Fei Long.

The Curse of Immortality - Anybody running Lord of the Makai should be running this ageless combo.

British Subject - Sometimes I'm gonna need foundations. Furthermore, my draw mechanics may end up drawing me foundations. Eh? =D

Nursing a Grudge - It's like drawing from the discard pile =D.

Flash of the Blades - the allstar of this deck, and why it's so rich in weapon attacks. Not only does it have built-in discard and momentum generation, but most importantly, it's gonna ready Fei Long for more F abusage.

Long-Standing Rivalry - I've been trying to find use for this **** card ever since I got it. Yep...found it =D

Cool deck seems cool.

Well, i'm a little biased, bc i AM one of Fei's fans...at least in the vid games he's in, esp. SF4 (in which he's one of the best Aggro-rush characters in that game). However, i have to agree with you about how horrible his 4.version is; i've tried 5 different builds with him and the best i've made him work was 'passable'.

Nice looking build here. I think the newer cards, and this games shift toward running more attacks help 4.Fei go from Horrible to sub-par (and that's really hard for me to admit, bc i am SUCH a Fei Long fan). Certainly, Zi Mei's support helps.

Boring as this suggestion sounds, i'd run 3x Feline Spike. The idea here being to play weenie pokes on your turn and then drawing into F-Spike on your opponent's turn to finish them off with as a Reversal.

Here's the thing about Feline...

1) If I ran it, I'd likely have to tone down immensely on attacks. Communing with Ancients or not, checking ANY attack (esp. Feline) would be devastating.

2) It's not Fei's style, and there are better characters to run it

3) It requires different set-ups and cards (which is basically a combination of answers 1 and 2). While I'm obviously Stun-heavy, meaning my attacks oughta go through theoretically, this deck would need quite an overhaul, and furthermore, no need to use Feline as a reversal dude. Poke the Hell out of them while using Stun: 9001, clear card pool with Fei, Feline + Multiples ftw.

If you're a Fei fan in the games, than you're dedicated. I liked T Hawk, but there's no denying how much the guy is lacking. Fei lacks a lot, unfortunately, but he is relatively fun in 4, especially his dash lol.

Thanks for the comment. I hope this deck, as well as the new stuff, have inspired you to rebuild Fei.

You most certainly have inspired me to look once more at trying my hand at a 4.Fei build.

Here's a suggestion that would work incredibly well in your deck, although it isn't a Weapon attack, it's just good tech: Double Gale Fist. Low 3-spd attack for 3-dam that, as a Free E, allows you to commit the highest difficulty foundation in your opponent's SA.

Solid!

It was in the original build, but removed. Although I'm sure I don't need too many weapons, so I'll see what I can do...
