It's an interesting, yet potent deck. I think Cassie does a better job with Yi Shan's support than Yi Shan does. Rising Hilt, Senkyutai, and Yi Shan's Tiger Claw all have a +3 Block on them, so there's needed. They are also quality attacks. Pendant is an interesting card. With Rising Hilt, Mesmerizing Dance, Torn Hero or your opponent making your discard a momentum, you get to fetch one attack out of your discard. The damage pump is also useful as Rising Hilt, Tiger Claw, and Striking Thunder all have Earth on them.

The deck probably would also be viable with Siegfried's Earth Divide as a kill, but you'd need 4 attacks in hand to really be able to pull it off effectively... so this seemed like a better idea. The deck's checks are stout, running 40 5cc, 2 4cc (only 2 Battle Prowess), and 17 3cc, it makes checking very reliable.

The other oddity to the deck is 2 Battle Prowess, 2 Prominent Noblewoman, and no Tough Outer Shell. Reason being is that there's no Olcadan's Mentoring protection in the deck. Best that could be done would be Journey of Repentance, but that's relegated to the sideboard due to it having no block and a 4cc. The deck also doesn't run Olcadan's, as Revenant's Calling seems to do the job needed.

First off, Pendant only tutors when you discard face-UP momentum, not just momentum. Of course, you're running Atoning, but still, maybe try Spinning Back Fist?

Anyways, wow, first Cassie deck since she was released, props. I like how you've got it, but you're running 3 Alchemist, 3 Atoning, and 4 Action Hero. That just seems a bit much, and honestly, I don't understand why only 2 Prowess is because of Olcadan's. Prowess is a card that ought to be ran in 4 just because it's that awesome, especially for 20 vitality.

Also, I realize Life isn't the top draw symbol around, but perhaps look into Make a Difference or something, because while your deck is pretty hawt aggrosauce, 7 handsize appearsd to be as far as you go, and Make a Difference to refill the hand is pretty cool.
