As Anakaris, you need plenty of high block mods. With one or two tokens you get, that should be enough to warrant his existence lol
Battle Prowess is in there for the obvious recovering the 1 damage poking action. The lot of damage reduction and Criminal Past (combined with Battle Prowess for ultimate lols) keep you alive.
Unnecessary cards? Most serve a purpose, except Brooding which was my "pitch me to gain 1 handsize" fodder of choice.
As a joke, my one copy of Jealously-Guarded Secret was indeed my deck's jealously-guarded secret. Only really saw it once.
If the opponent's deck is heavily reliant on a single card (you should be able to pinpoint what card game 1), Rashotep can side in and make it blank. I should've scooped against Seong Mi-na and gone to game 2, but in the end because my teammates didn't get a win it was inconsequential. Fun, though, seeing Seong Mi-na trying to kill Anakaris one damage at a time, then Anakaris decking out from the 12 hand size lol
One-Handed Crocodile Grasp is a MUST in Rashotep. It's Rashy's one true defense against damage reduction (choose the one with the most damage reduction and make it unusable, stun some, Rashy blank, etc.), and basically the only freaking way I was able to win against Hilde's INSANE WALL OF DEATH, because **** her wall was even bigger than mine.
PLENTY of answers to damage pump, and I didn't even notice how many I had when I built it (I was going more for the high block mod theme with the cards I had).
KA TECHNIQUE is probably the most underused awesome card for control in this set. Example. Zi Mei (bad example, but used for hatred reasons) plays a Reverse Flayer, Bitters it and she has a BRT out. You OBVIOUSLY can't block. You have foundations to block plently of things normally, enough blocks to live through ML/KB from hell and two Ka Techniques. Use both Ka Techniques, which are not negatable by many things not named Chesters or No Memories. Take the Flayer, then Ka blanks Bitter Rivals and BRT (it says if THIS attack deals damage...). Seriously, use Ka Technique. It's not like it doesn't have good stats or Void in common with Shooting Capoera, or Death in common with Ostrheinsburg Castle - Twilight... hurry up and run this.
